I haven't really delved into Yngwie so much. Rising Force and his early stuff is actually really appealing to me, it's his later stuff that gave me a bad bias.
For me this is Yngwie at his best. Best composition, best playing, best feeling, simply awesome. When he plays a bit slower, as on this track, you can get the full efffect of that amazing vibrato, and incrredibly soulful touch and feel. Please make more songs like this! Please!!!!!
possibly his best song. possibly his best album - from a songwriting perspective. possibly his best playing. he's so bluesy on this track! its a nice complement to his crazy monster lines. also, his ear is under-rated. he can play cool melodic lines when he wants to. my fav: the blues line @ 2:12. WTF! then he stays soulful for another min or so. just dig this track. who says he has no feel? dude is sick!
"Amberdawn" always reminded me a bit of "Marching Out". So damn beautiful! I lose even MORE respect for the fools that rip on him when I hear some of his best work.
@sephiroth7655 You're right. Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was released in 1987. This album on the other hand was released in 1985. So if there's any chance of musical plagiarism, Konami would be responsible.
Those who say that Yngwie is just about speed and now feel is full of it!!! Listen to this and listen to Overture 1383. Even when he plays extremely fast, you can here the melody and sing it in your head. Yngwie ROCKS!!! Seen him back in the 80's. Hands down the best. ALso saw G3 with Satch, Vai, and Ywgwie. I love them all but I have to say Yngwie blew them both away. Alone they are all the best but put them on stage together... Forget it!!!
I bought this when it came out cause I wanted to hear the fastest guitarist in the world as was stated in an article i read at the time. So talented but such a prick. Some of the lines in this remind me of Holdsworth with the wang bar. I played this over and over.
love this lead its like a continuation of the one in "Little Savage", also a very emotional, expressive shredfest. Such a good soloist, and great lead tones as well.
Likely my fave Yngwie tune. This is when he had mastery over his chops. Now his chops have enslaved him. I wish he'd chill out and play like this again.
@VoodooChildsReturn He was good on one more album after this (Trilogy)...then he got into his car accident, went into a coma, and came out sucking with Odyssey...and he's sucked ever since.
@VoodooChildsReturn But the solos sucked. The good song parts were all written when he was a teenager in Sweden and appeared on his demos before he came to the states. For example the solo interlude on the song "Rising Force" appeared on his 1982 demo. The song "Memories" was also from the 1982 demo, but it was called "Far Beyond the Sun" (before he re-used that title for another song). "Krakatau" was also on the demo, but called "Plague in Lucifer's Mind." Forgive me if you know all this
@janderson2000 Yeah, I used to have the demos... Odyssey had some great songs, it didn't hurt that JLT and Bob Daisley helped develop them (and add some songs too). The solos weren't as fluid, that is for sure, but it was replaced with fire.
@VoodooChildsReturn I like a lot of that album too (in kind of a guilty pleasure sort of way), but not the solos. I think he lost it right there, IMO, and it never returned. JLT is great, and Bob Daisley is also awesome (especially with Randy Rhoads). Yngwie always tried to surround himself with Ritchie's guys. lol
@Sheenaz27 This is GOD !!!...u are right...finding words to describe such music is a waste of time...After hearing this song i have understood the quality of Yngwie...truly.
I wish this song was one or two minutes longer... pure bliss
