Why the fuck do everybody say he has a huge ego... It s so fucking wrong, he s juste self confident and he knows what he wants, I admire him. He s one of the best musicians in this world, and I don t see his ego. A megalomaniac is never a hardworker. Fuck the shit people.

he has earned the right to have a huge ego listen to his music

@Aeolianshredhead So when I say something is inspiring and beautiful it is a matter of subjectivity, but when it comes to your favourite artists its objectively true. What I like is subjective and if I prefer that its subjective but everybody who plays 3 chords is objectively an idiot. Its terribly pretentious to use the 'subjectivity' card to shit on other tastes while completely disregarding it when it comes to what you like.

@000theUnforgiven000 Listen, dude: good music is good music and bad music is bad music, no matter how it makes you feel, and bad musicians always use your childish argument. Plus, if you really understand music, you will learn to appreciate the good one. Not the crappy retarded alcoholic drug addicts who throw some shitty lyrics into a microphone, but rather the geniuses who's musical mastery makes REAL musicians out of them. Yngwie is one of these people and this is where his ego comes from!

Everyone keeps saying that he is this huge ego maniac, but i've watched alot of interviews with him now, and I don't think so. Sure, he is self confident, but he seems to be mostly driven my motivation, dedication and his passion for music. There is nothing wrong with that.

@000theUnforgiven000 Also, what "people" like does not denote good music. Justin Bieber is a terrible musician yet people like him. Music is the expression of emotion and to master this expression or to depict more complex emotions, practice and advancement of musical knowledge must occur. This is why Malmsteen is "better" than any idiot who picks up a guitar and plays 3 chords.

[Aeolianshredhead]

@000theUnforgiven000 Your criteria of "inspiring", "beautiful" and meaningful are what are subjective here. Being a musical master means that you must master the art of music itself- not learn a few simple chords and leave it at that. Musical education would be invalid if what you're saying is true.

hes so right, words can't not hurt me.

@Hertsman50 I guess you think bands like ACDC should do something that sounds different too! Yngwie has a style of making/writing music that he like's to use to express himself! By the way what changes prey tell would you have Yngwie make to sound better?
