Man he's just so full of shit. Who is he to talk about recording and mixing? There are probably no records sounding worse than his own records since alchemy - that was when he decided to be full on stubborn and do the production himself. His records nowadays are so poorly recorded and mixed it's embarassing
lol Id love it if I asked Yngwie a question and he replied with "good question, I dont usually get asked such good questions" It would make my year haha :D
I love to see him playing live, and I really love the old albums, and most of the new songs. The problem is the sound, if you compare War to end all wars, Perpetual flame, angels of love, with Magnum Opus, Oddysey and Facing the animal..... Then, in my opinion - there is no doubt about it.
Even Yngwie himself has said the production of the War to end all wars album is very weak!
Yngwie was the best guitarist ever back in the 80s. His albums nowadays are OK but nowhere near his 80s peak. His 90s albums is great though, but not as good as the masterpieces "Rising Force", "Marching Out" and "Trilogy". Yngwie for president.
I love Malmsteen, the master! BUT, PLEASE MAKE THE SOUND OK AGAIN! The last cds sounds like shit :( I love the production of Facing the animal, get back to it!
@balebergas Stupid? Why? Do you honestly prefer the sound of the new Malmsteen cd´s ? I got ALL cd´s he ever has made, and I can for sure say that I like the production of Facing the animal, Magnum Opus (to mention 2 cds) more than Angels of love, and Perpetual flame.
@farbrorhard I agree, the recording, not the songs, sounded like shit. I listened to perpetual flame and Ripper Owens vocal tracks sounded like he's singing trough a piece of crap mic! What 's up with that shit?? Why have an absolute kick ass singer if his tracks sound like garbage? The drum tracks did not impress me either.
Alot of people seem to hate on him cause of that one video where he shows his 200 guitars and he doesn't have them all on stands, and he lays some of them ontop of each other ... Who cares tho he seems super chill to me.
why does everyone say hes arragent and a massive ego? theres no videos wheres hes a prick??? hes really good and he knows it. so wat get over it hes better than you!
On Pantera's 3 vulgar videos they talk to yngwie and he walks in to the hotel with 2 chiks on his arms and they're like "Yngwie you want a donut?" and hes like "I DONT FUCKIN LIKE DONUTS" getting all pissed off at time and shit
@shuttsworth kerry king sucks hahaha a fuckin rythm guitar player yngwie kill him 10 times and i kill kerry 100 times hahaha there you got it metalheads
just getting back into this guy(iam 34).he,s lost alot of that wanker ego over the years.which is cool.always been a top player.the stuff with ripper owens is fuckin massive.
exactly. I really find those reinvention-crazed idiots really irritating sometimes. Someone spent his/her whole life finding a certain way of expression, and to master that expression, and then some yoyo with no strong sense of self comes along and expects something else from that person. Please, GET YOUR OWN!
First off I think Yngwie is truly amazing and a musical genius. I truly love his first CD and the one with Joe Lynn Turner. I do think however he has not been able to re invent himself and make his sound evolve. His shit still sounds like re-hashed stuff from 25yrs ago. Metallica still sounds like Metallica but there songs today don't sound like songs from Kill Em All. Yngwie even says he don't listen to other music. I think that's what's missing.
@Chrvl88 actually, metallica sucked in the 90's cause they changed. they didnt sound anything like in the 80's and it didnt sound like them except for their newest album. after black, i think they toned it down waaaay too hard. in toher words, i rather yngwie stays the same instead of him making shit. his music is amazing to this day, cant get enough of it, peace
@RobertoArceCorretjer Well if that's your opinion then so be it. So your saying that because someone changes they suck? By the way, are you a musician? I am. I have been playing guitar for over 25yrs so I am speaking from a musicians point of view as well. I think as a musician I would get pretty bored trying to mimic my style from 25 yrs ago. That's why I try to evolve in my playing.
@Chrvl88 i am... ive been playing guitar for 3yrs now... im not saying that when someone changes their playing it ALWAYS sucks. in my opinion, i dont think metallica made the change for the better. i dont want that to happen to yngwie. i mean, he's a very great guitar player ,and im not saying that im 100% sure that he would suck, but if he does change... itd be kinda like, he'd stop being Yngwie J. Malmsteen. as for my guitar playing, i have an idea of what i wanna do but i have to work on it
@Chrvl88 Really? for example compare trilogy to seventh sign. Magnum opus to Facing the animal. Attack to Perpertual flame and after that you realise that every of his album has a unique sound.
@Chrvl88 JLT fan? im a guitarist and i played a show with Joe. we did Heaven tonight and Burn. the videos are in my favorites, you will love them! cant post the link in the comment, you know how YT is. enjoy!
@leopower7 I totally disagree about Metallica..Besides, I just used Metallica as an example. There are many other bands that have evolved as well. I'm not talking about changing styles, just maturing in your sound. I'm a big fan of his first 4 CD's. I have them. He seemed to mature after each one but after that I'm not a big fan of his later stuff. I did recently buy perpetual flame cause I like Ripper O. I thought the songs were decent & modern sounding but the production and mastering sucked!
@Chrvl88 i think that yngwie sounds like yngwie and thast good to me and all crazy yngwie fans liket that listen to him evry day buy all the albums etc
@Chrvl88 I may well get bashed for this, but I sort of wish Metallica did still sound like they did on KEA. Hetfield was a a better vocalist then, they had Cliff and Kirk didn't feel the need to put wah on every note. I like Yngwie for sticking true to his vision, even if he is still playing very similar to what he did in 1984.
I met, and shook Yngwies hand (2002 i think) when he came to a signing at Virginia Beach Guitar Center. My friend who was with me had his first ever American write up in any US magazine. Yngwie was so impressed that someone actually still had that magazine that he let us come to his show that night for free. Knowing we were huge fans, I thought that was real nice of him to let us come to the show for free.
he has to "prove" his way because he is very criticized and I'm sure this bothers him. Also, he himself has said he doesn't get asked good questions very often.
I just dunno why he always have to prove his way of being etc. I mean... correction... why do all the reporters asks the same questions over and over again ? There tons of other question just waiting to be asked, and yet they always do the same.
Malmsteen is the most metal of all the big guitar virtuosos.
I bet when he gets up in the morning he shouts FUCK YEAH into the air, eats his brekky while playing guitar, and keeps a waterproof fender in the shower...
people think that when someone can play faster than yngwie is better than him...that isnt the point ..to play something just because its fast..many people including myself can play faster than yngwie...its just not the same
there is a kind of spirit within the notes he playes that you cant copy...and thats innovation and thats improtant
Fuck! i need another 8 bars, ...DONE!!!!
