  • He's amazing

  • It's okay for him to sound the same as he basically invented that sound for guitar.

  • this made me jizz

  • Anton Oparin sounds cleaner and better than this fuck face asshole and he´s only 12 years old !!!!

  • @LasVergasPeladas you're damn right, malmsteen is always the same over and over, like the dinosaur, above reproach to extiction.

  • Comment removed

  • both guys are dicks, doesn't matter who is better they both act like pricks in public. And there is no secrete that yngwie loves the doughnuts

  • @evilmurderproduction

    MAB is incredibly humble. he spends more time talking about his influences and how you can be as good as him than bragging about himself. yngwie is a dick, but michael is cool.

  • only Malmsteen can get away with putting the Ferrari logo on his sound console...

  • LOL! You gotta love the ending when he just itches his nose like it was nothing.

  • pinche gordo

  • @enorma29 LOL

  • Batio is great I don't want to down play his talent but, his goal is to be better than yngwie. That is not an artist. His fan base is made up of people that had a favorite guitarist that was way under yngwie's talent level. So they follow Batio so they are there if he ever is better than Yngwie they can brag. But until Batio just plays for the love of his music he will never be better.

  • @fireman66767 u dont know MAB so dont act like u do

  • @RobZiak With songs like "Yngwie can't touch this" Yeah I may be wrong ha ha ha ha ha. He is a self proclaimed shredder but then he plays a style more like Yngwie and calls him out on a number of occasions he has a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. I even find it neat that he has made a point that he can play 2 guitars at once YEARS after yngwie did it. Trust me I know way more about MAB than you think.

  • @fireman66767

    retard, that was a fan-made name. the real name of the song is the finish line, not yngwie can't touch this. get your facts straight. on top of that MAB isn't influenced by malmsteen one bit. yngwie might have played a double neck guitar, but not a double guitar. his style is incredibly different from yngwie's and you are a joke if you think anything you said in that comment has any truth to it.

  • @RobZiak Ok i cant verify any of that so where do u get this intel? and to say batio doesnt play for the love of music? I dont believe all the time he's dedicated composing and practicing music was solely to out-do malmsteen. But if you can enlighten me to the facts please do.

  • Hahaha Damn!! His ego is louder than the guitar, but it works for his Neo Classical personna.

  • more riff and less showing off / soloing.. guy has all the speed and technical stuff down but just cant make a song i would listen to. pink floyd = real music

  • @musicman33384 he is neoCLASSICAL guitarist. most important thing in classical music is solo.not only for guitar,but for every single instrument.

  • Yngwie:

    1. Lay off the pies, dude..

    2. Write a 'song'

    3. Stop wanking

    4. Lay off the pies...

    Immense Talent, Immmense dedication, no compass...

  • @thatsnotcheeseify hey. fuck you he is great!

  • @thatsnotcheeseify I am not sure I understand your point. He does the lead guitar bass drums keyboard in the studio. Plus he writes the lyrics. He makes the whole song. So I just don't understand your #2 complaint. Why no compass? Because he don't cater to the masses. He plays his music his way. He is a true artist. Not a corporate sell out just trying to sell a million copies. His compass points north unlike the mainstream cookie cutter bands.

  • fucking great!!!!!!!!!

  • yes but who care.....

  • Hair cuts are for douches who care what people think about them

  • what a speed freak

  • While I regard him as a big influence when I was starting out, he's been playing, and wearing the same shit for the last 25 years. Wish he'd really stretch himself and do something fresh and new. Then he might not get tagged as boring!

  • jeff beck is more interesting and emotional as a guitarist , and Jeff uses no plectrum. This dude is still doing the same old widdly widdly he was doing 20 years ago. I can't see my self singing along with him playing sweep picking . It is seems his the faster he plays the  less he has to say with his instrument.

  • i reckon if this guy slowed down and wrote some actual songs it would be great. But the speed is a one trick pony

  • It´s so stupid to mention Yngwie as "this guy". You ignorant fuck!

  • Why is it stupid? It's gramatically fine and a legitimate point in context

  • wow, i actually have four of his cd's and while i admit that he does play similar crazy solos in most songs, he actuli has some great rock songs out there... His album.. odyssey (1988) is a great 80's rock album, and has great vocals and background singers. aswell as synth section. check out some of his songs: : Heaven tonight , Bedroom eyes , Making love.

  • @stavsantis

    His solo's all sound alike because everything sounds the same at 500bpm. lol

  • @matt2eadgbe , but his albums i mentioned are great!!

    Paul gilbert does better solos in my opinion ;)

  • Sounds just like the same stuff I dug about him almost 15-20 years ago.

    Sad really to hear someone so talented to

    not to have advanced or changed a bit.

  • sloppy

  • Yes he is a great guitar player and yes he is fucking fast, but it doesn't really do it for me. It just sounds like notes in quick succession.

  • single coils and only 22 frets damn

  • actually are 21 frets :)

  • 21 frets actually ;)

  • for sure kick ass

  • yeah im just gonna throw away my guitar now,this video puts me to shame

  • the best guitarist ever forever nothing to say

  • i like malmsteens bling !

  • Billy "No Mates" in his own personal isolation room that everyone saved up to buy him.

    Malmsten rocked the guitar playing world with his playing back in '84.

    He just never moved on though and when he opened his gob he just fucked Everybody off.

    There is no thought of articulation around the basic techniques. It is someone trying to play the basics fast and accurate and failing even to do that.

    What happened to your talent man? I kinda used to like your playing and it WAS musical for sureONCE

  • thats just how neo classical metal sounds - so youre saying that neo classical metal in general is music without soul? I think all of u people saying that there is no soul in malmsteens playing shud take a minute to think about what theyre actually saying. What u think how much passion for music does it take to still be around after like 25 years of making music? No go and think about that

  • i completley agree with you...i've been playing guitar for a while...long enough to notice that the guitar is the instrument in which you can express yourself even without noticing...every single note is an expression of what you feel, everybody interprets it their own way, but only the original composer can truly feel it. that's his job, making other ppl feel his music as close as he does...if you can't feel it, then it's not for you

  • what are you talking about?!

    what is soul for you?

    ala ljudi lupetaju svasta,obicne lencuge...a kad je neko najbolji,samo kenjaju jer su zavidni...tipicno za ljudsku vrstu

  • Malmsteen is atemporal...

  • NO He shows me how to not play the guitar

  • que buena velosidad del tio he!!!! puede que lo alcanse

  • his vibrato is WONDERFUL.

  • i think my face just melted off! I'M MELTIIIIIING!

  • i just shit my pants

  • Very impressive like the first time I remember hearing and seeing him with Steeler...but after a while it was sounding too much the same and repetitive.

  • mab --->Better.

  • not too keen on him myself

    heck im not that keen on either more into paul gilbert etc

  • aerr tu pinpinnn! michael angelo batio todos sabemos que es bfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffffffff,,increibleeee,,

    pero malmsteen tambien lo esss!!! y tambien lo sabemoss..aparte son dos tios diferentes,,lo cual kada uno destaka en su estilo,,,NO TE EKIBOKES!!!!!!!!!!!

  • buff calla no digas insensateces... Batio es buenisimo pero Malmsteen... para mi aun es mejor todavia...

  • Soory Yngwie owns Batio

  • Maybe not technically, but Yngwie is wayyyy cooler than Batio.

  • yeah. i saw batio give a guitar workshop and he was a pretty cool guy there, but with how he always try to show up yngwie, it's pretty sad. i'd say he's a douche.

  • batio is a nicer guy and plays with aa lil more soul

  • @WorldDominator666

    evidence?

  • @Fluffypopcicle Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • @Fluffypopcicle Yngwie never played a double??? ha ha ha ha ha ha hah ha ha ha ha haha ha ha ha. WOW!!!! I have seen it. get your facts straight. wow this world you live in, are there rides? cottoncandy??? ha ha ha ha ha

    Do a little research ass mab endorses the name of the song faster than yngwie.

    What you think you can just say something and magically it is true?????? ha ha ha ha ha.

    Have fun buddy ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

  • @fireman66767

    you need to learn the difference between a double guitar and a double necked guitar. a double necked guitar can be played with a purely right handed or left handed person. MAB'S invention, the double guitar, was meant for playing with 2 hands at once. noob.

  • @Fluffypopcicle You amazingly stupid piece of inbreed shit!!! Try to listen to me this time. I know what a double neck is two necks 1 atop the other, both meant to be played right handed. YEARS ago in an instructional video Yngwie malmsteen played two guitars at 1 time. Using a series of hammer on's he played 2 different rifs at the same time. 1 left handed 1 right handed. BEFORE MAB made his design. HHHHMMMMM I wonder where he STOLE the idea.

  • @fireman66767

    dumbass. he got the idea from saxaphone player who duct taped 2 saxaphones together and played them at the same time. just more proof you don't know anything about michael.

  • @Fluffypopcicle If I was Mab I wouldn't want to admit where I got the idea either. You have said I know nothing and I have proved you wrong time and time again. First off you are making yourself look dumb. secondly it is time to let it go.

    Your OPINION is that MAB is better. That is fine you have a right to your opinion. FACT is Yngwie has far more skill. Calm down I am not denying MAB is one of the greatest guitar players to ever live. Do you believe the crap you say?

  • @fireman66767

    fact? okay, sure lol. MAB obviously has more skill. on top of that, i searched EVERYWHERE for yngwie playing a double guitar, and i couldn't find it anywhere. give me a link, or you're lying.

  • @Fluffypopcicle You want a link??? ok w w w gofuckyourself com how about that.

    Like i said it was years ago in an instructional video. You wanna see it go buy the fucking box set.

    Did you think your pathetic whinny assed opinion meant enough to me for that to pressure me into feeling like I have something to prove.

    If you have not seen it that means you don't know what you are talking about. You are making opinions based off of nothing. Thats weak.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Atleast I have seen what you are talking about when you talk about MAB. Ha ha ha ha ha. Do you know why Yngwie don't play 2 guitars more often???

    He don't feel the need to be THAT showy. But yeah a guy that owns rights to a double guitar is SSSOOOO humble ha ha ha ha. Dude you are a joke!!! Don't speak to me again I thought this was a debate with an educated person.

  • @fireman66767

    opinion based off of nothing? MAB is more technical because...well, his stuff is harder to play. also, what box set are you talking about? i would love to buy it, assuming it even exists. also, the fact that you expected a conversation with an educated person while my name is fluffypopcicle proves you have no right to make assumptions about anything.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Why are you still speaking??

    Did you just really call yourself stupid, and use your name as an expectation of your intelligence? I talked to a guy on here called iguana poop, He had an I.Q. to rival the great Albert.

    Ok so make a vid with anything of you playing Yngwie's forever one. That is an easy one. Come on show me. Just play the 1st minute of music. Lets see how easy it is.

    Till then SHUT UP. You know nothing!!!! 

  • @fireman66767

    i wasn't calling myself stupid, but at times, the user name tells a lot about the intelligence of the person. i don't really care about the double neck thing, it doesn't matter. what i am trying to argue is that MAB is more technical, and at times, more melodic that yngwie malmsteen. they both can be horribly sterile to be honest. i wouldn't have either of them in my top 10. shawn lane pwns both of them combined in every way possible, including influence.

  • @Fluffypopcicle Well I am done. What you see as sterile Is beautiful. I can't even fathom where you are coming from on that opinion, But it is yours I don't have to agree. Bye

  • @Fluffypopcicle It is an Yngwie guitar lesson tape. It was on vhs yes that old. I didn't say I owned it. I said I seen it.

  • @Fluffypopcicle To show you how easy 2 guitars can be here is a vid for ya. Just some no big name doing it.

    David Skinner-Salvation just copy and paste that into the youtube search. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha MAB is so talented ha ha ha ha ha Look like I said his work is great one of the best in the world and through history I would say MAB is second to only 1 Yngwie malmsteen. That aint a bad thing I don't see why you are so butt hurt by this idea

  • arrache !!!!!

  • Anyone who thinks Yngwie lacks emotion should listen to the solo on Devil In Disguise, on the Eclipse album. Its still one of my favourites by any player.

  • MAB is better just saying.. yngwie has no rymthm and his guitar sounds horrible in this. dont get offened hes still a good guitarist

  • well the thing is MAB uses to much special effects i'm not saying yngwie doesn't use ot much of em but not compered to MAB plus yngwies a lot cooler MAB looks fag

  • technically mab is probably the best guitarist ever, but guitar is about music and mab does not make good music imo

  • You're so right. I mean i know a lot of great guitar players but their music sucks ass

  • fuck you!

  • He's just showing off here. His actual music puts these types of riffs to work.

  • anyone that doesnt think this video is good is either not a musician or a n00b. yngwie is a genius and his picking and vibrato are fucking amazing.

  • yeah hial yngwie keep up the good work

    du äger, mannen!

  • I know I'll probably get some thumbs down but whatever, Malmsteen is a good guitarist, there's no doubting that...but he's not as amazing as my friend made him sound...I was slightly disappointed and it doesn't have too much rhythym to it (also, I've only seen about 4 of his videos but not his songs so I can't fully judge but this didn't amaze me)

  • listen to his first solo album. if you dont like it then you can say yngwie sucks.

  • could you give me the name of his first solo album? I'll look it up now because I'd really like to see what he's capable of (I think it was just this video that disappointed me)

  • rising force

  • that album is great

  • It's called rising force, and consists mostly of instruments.

    His other albums are mostly song songs, some of them are really good.

  • i prefer his instrumentals and rising force has the best ones.

  • There is a reasen for that Malmsteen is famous and batio are not, Batio plays in guitarshop/coffeeshop and show hes boring sweeping and fast tapping... malmsteen makes Brilliant songs,and does not care about speed. I dont think batio has sold 25 million album. lol

  • i dont think michael angelo even cares, he plays kuz he loves music same as malmsteen >_>

  • i like yngwie but aside from his classics (black star, far beyond the sun etc.) all his playing sounds the same...then again that can be said for batio too. doesn't matter though cause he's lightyears ahead of me lol

  • batio is way better and he plays a double guitar. not to mention the songs arnt easy like this guys is

  • Yngwie's songs are certainly not "easy". Lets see Batio right an entire concerto for a huge philharmonic orchestra rather than pulling off parlor tricks.

  • I mean "write".

  • i know this melody from somewhere...sounds like Mr crowly i think

  • Batio should go to kid'n'garden compared to yngwie. Yngwie's patterns are way more difficult and require extremely masterful fingering not to mention about the right hand. Batio sweeps all the time

  • hes amazing no doubt..but i prefer actualy songwriting instead of guitar sports :)

  • this guy is a freak ...and he should take lessons with angelo batio

  • I bet I can kick his ass on guitar hero!! I win

  • he is ill^^

  • he using some type of reverb or delay,listen on the single notes or listen to the bends to hear it really good.

  • unbelievable what this guy belw is saying MASTA, such an idiot, what an impressive critic, full of facts (sarcasm).

    Long Life YM one of the greatest guitar players in the World; God of the Neoclassical Metal

  • this guy sucks compared to MAB!

  • yngwie knows the true power of theory and classical music from the ages of mozart and bethoven and put it into the guitar making the the new genre of "neoclassical"

  • tchort99 = idiot

  • malmsteen is making music. if you listen his work, vai's, satch's, gilbert's you'll find a style for everyone of them. batio is just ...fast. that's a good athlet not neccesarily a good musician. my humble opinion!

  • that aint true! batio is amazing, he aint just fast....listen to china,tribute to randy or annything, you cant say he's just fast..he's, AMAZING!

  • Michael angelo can put yngwie in his back pocket and anyone who is technical knows it .

  • technical??technical??? u just proved you know nothing about it... Yngwie is the man when it comes to michael angelo..

  • Yngwie actually makes music when he plays. MAB sounds like a robot to me.

  • Batio is crap. No emotion at all, just all fucking speed.

  • You haven't listened to enough Batio then.

  • Batio speak much and say nothing...Yngwie,(twinky) has a bit more...ummm...feel..fire..mayb­e. As this type of playen goes. Both very kewl...cheers!

  • wow, u guys suck! yngwie own's micheal angelo batio and he's not that fat...

  • boringgggggggg.....

  • what is that actually ment to be? u just see aload of small squares and 2 lines...?

  • yngwie more than batio!!!

  • Yngwie and Batio both have the same problem: it's called overplaying, they don'tlet their

    music breathe enough. Yngwie's music is more beautiful especially when fused with classical

    motifs, whereas Batio fuses more genres, maybe because of his Jazz background. Hendrix shouldn't have even come up. It's probably a hippie generation wigga who did too many drugs to realize even Hendrix idolized Django Reinhardt (as MAB, Yngwie, Ritchie, Page, Beck, etc. did/do)wanting to preserve his rep.

  • pokbacsi100, That was a very intelligent post! The reason I consider the older Yngwie much better (before 87) is that he DID "let his music breathe". Good choice of words. He had style and used restraint. Now he plays very much like MAB or anyone else who seems to just favor technique.

  • he's so so so fat

  • oh fuck my ears

  • i know yngwie is amazing but this one just sounds so fuckin wierd and has no melody whatsoever. thats just my opinion, and he has other solos on here that i really like, but i am a MAB fan i like his style better

  • shredalicious

  • Ok , Yngwie , Michael Batio, wtf is going on here , these dudes are making me ill, i watch them & it looks like they are barely moving there fingers but complete magic comes out . I have a few G into my guitars & i cant play after watching them , these dudes are not from earth !

  • LOOSE THE REVERB U FAT FUCK !

  • blekdood you jealous douche

  • if u had one room with 2 guitars n amps n yngwie n michael angelo in it,yngwie would leave the room bcz of depression!

  • Yngwie would leave out of boredom from the robotic Angelo.

  • WTF...WTF...

    JIMI sucks..,overrated...

    Are you out of your fucking mind you fucking bitches???

    Playing fast ain´t no big deal!!!

    The rythm, feeling, timing and the groove must be there..

    JIMI had it all..And much more..

    So shut de fuck up you fucking loosers...

  • no doubt man, as much as i love to hear these types of solos you know all fast and everything, i really dont care for them

  • hendrix, everybody thinks he was so good. You guys just don't wanna mvoe on from the past and you think your'e so original becuase yo uthink he is god.

  • every1 can be fast... its not hard... but he hendrix was the first big guitarist... every1 else learned from him... so dont be retarded and wake up

  • sounds like pooooooooo.. repeated licks all over the board. im bored

  • too true

  • You are all jealous... Wish you have half of the technic of this guy.... FUCK VERY MUCH ALL YOU FUCKING RETARDEDS.... DONT YOU GET IT YET.? HE IS ONE OF THE FASTEST...

  • dont uy get it dude!? music is not about speed. its about emotion. this is NOT emotion. dont get me wrong though. malmsteen CAN get emotional and i like it that way. BUT if he does this kinda stuff, and anybody that tries to mimick him. they dont get any respect from me . annd NO. im not jealous and WOULDNT even wnat to have his technique on my hands either. bye

  • True, repeats all

  • this sounds like poop

  • A Yngwie Malmsteen album: 35 ascending runs, 87 arpeggios, 45 descending runs, 23 classical rip-offs which sounds like crap, 18 tapping licks, 3 bends, 1 whammy bar wanking. Repeat 12 times. ALBUM COMPLETE. :D

  • only 3 bends? You have not listened closely enough. Yngwie's vibrato is one of the very best. And all of the things you mentioned can have different effects behind different chord progressions.

  • MAB & YJM are both morons :D

  • no you are a moron and you are jealous

  • lol. why would any human beings be jealous of them? maybe if they won the moron awards, but they are so moronic that they forgot the direction to the venue. lol

  • jealous it is jajajajajaja

  • No, Just MAB is a moron. Yngwie may be cocky but he has the right to it.

  • I know! The tone on rising force is godly

  • Damn thats sick!
