Yngwie talks about Hendrix

Posted for all the dumb Yngwie Vs. Hendrix arguments I see everywhere. In this video, he gives kudos to Jimi. Stop arguing about who's better damnit, it's completely different shit.

@AngilasGuy Yngwie Malmsteen - I Never Played Hendrix Riffs (2 of 3)

Ah, I see. Thank you. I think he was talking about his experience when he was 5 though, and how that image impacted him. I highly doubt he actually considers Hendrix noise, because he often plays covers with his own twist at live shows. But even if you're right, and he thinks Hendrix is noise, does that mean he has no soul? Of course not. Do all guitarist have to admire Hendrix to have soul? Yngwie can be a huge egotistical ass, I'll definitely grant you that.

fuck yngwie he only gives him cudos cuz he said in another interview that jimi was nothing but noise and does nothing for him , the vid is on youtube , yngwie is a prick

@steviej0289 In that video he was saying that the clip that he saw on the news that day of Hendrix smashing and burning the guitar was just noise. Which it was. He wasn't saying that Hendrix's music was noise, just the "guitar sacrifice" clip. Learn what you're talking about before you make yourself look like a prick.

I saw him live in Holland and he was great.(he played purple haze and red house) He is a strange guy but he is good. i`m glad that shredders like YM gives credits to Jimi. And Jimi deserves that.

@AngilasGuy Watching the clip that he referred to, the "noise" he referred to was the noise being made by Hendrix destroying and burning his guitar, he had not heard his music at the time to inspired Yngwie to want to pick up the guitar, but was first impressed by Hendrix's act of burning the guitar

[MacacoPulando]

@adamphillips44 I thought that at first too, but I think he was talking about the fact that the particular clip didn't have music, just the noise of him smashing the guitar.

I didn't know Jesus even played an electric guitar.

I love Yngwie's Jimi covers. And man what a great Strat sound. I am more of a Gibson guy, but when I think of the ideal Strat sound, this guy's got it.
