He is an amazing player definatly one of the best.I dont like that fact that he beats on woman though
Posted by: Robin Nov 13 2007, 06:10 AM
His tone and playing is amazing, but I cant stand his music and I dont hear much variation in what he plays.
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 06:18 AM
he does?
thats not so good Robin, I love his tone too, thats my favorite thing about his playing !!
Posted by: peterorg54 Nov 13 2007, 06:22 AM
i heard that his personality is really bad.. 
is it true ?
well, doesnt matter.. all of those stuff doesnt effect his playing..
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 06:24 AM
He is on the CD that came with my Guitar One magazine and when i put it in, and he started playing... the tone is just so peircing and awsome!!
Edit: I found the clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLHpe1_jQC4
Posted by: DeepRoots Nov 13 2007, 06:41 AM
there was a clip on youtube of him being arrested...
the video no longer exists....check the error message that you get...

Theres so much "copyrighted" material of him on youtube, but hes only interested in removing the clips that make him look bad.
good player though

That is acutally pretty funny!
I expect he doesent mind copyrighted material on youtube, as long as it makes him look good!! (and it does)

baroque can get quite anoying sometimes
but he is indeed an enegetic man with a few too many pies (in G3 2004?) lol anyway he is fun and i bet he will be doin backflips whilst playn guitar if he could
Posted by: Pavel Nov 13 2007, 07:38 AM
He might be an awesome guitar player but his orchestra work is pretty "beginner", i bet he is thinking of an orchestra with the "guitar player" approach, it's not the same to write the orchestra arrangement and a band arrangement so he lacks that in that concert.
But yeah he has a pretty damn good sound - Marshall is still a Marshall and years of experience, especially playing live. Jsut imagine how many concerts has he played in his career.....jeeeeeeeeeez.
Posted by: steve25 Nov 13 2007, 07:43 AM
Yeah i love the sound he gets and everything but sometimes i think he goes a bit OTT or indulges a bit on what he can do. Unfortunately i'm yet to find a song of his that i like
Posted by: Animosity Nov 13 2007, 08:59 AM
He's alright... All of his stuff sounds the same to me. His ego makes him lose respect for with me as well.
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Nov 13 2007, 09:08 AM
Yngwie in my opinion is one of the greatest guitarists ever! This should be everyone elses opinion also!
Posted by: muris Nov 13 2007, 10:19 AM
I love him!!
He plays the same things through decades,says nasty stuff about other players,
eats like hell and still plays,you MUST love this guy!!
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Nov 13 2007, 10:22 AM

We all love him 
btw, can you show us proof that he actually says nasty stuff about other players? i knew he was an egomaniac, but i didnt know he said stuff about others, id like to see that
Posted by: muris Nov 13 2007, 11:16 AM
Ahh,he had many interview,specially during 80's and 90's when he was top notch.
Long ago,can't recall which magazines or what else...
But easy to imagine
Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 13 2007, 11:17 AM

yeah im picturing it right now
Posted by: shredmandan Nov 13 2007, 11:19 AM
I tryed to look online to see if i could find some articles of him trash talking people but i couldnt.Really just people trash talking him .Im sure though he has said alot of things about others.One thing i can say 100% is that he is not the best or the fastest 
He is one hell of a guitarist though and is a shred king
Posted by: muris Nov 13 2007, 11:23 AM
Yeah,people throwing thrash on him
Or it was he throwing bullets on his mother in law
Posted by: SDMF75 Nov 13 2007, 11:25 AM
Pitiful
No one loves Yngwie more than Yngwie though
! I saw him 6 or 7 years ago at local club and I can say that he doesn't get his women that beats on from the shows....nothing but dudes at the show 
. Great guitar player and literally takes center stage. The lead singer was off to the side of the stage and Yngwie's beer drinking bloated self was right in the middle swinging his guitar around his neck and ripping it up.
Posted by: shredmandan Nov 13 2007, 11:27 AM
Or it was he throwing bullets on his mother in law
Actually i think thats true he did point a shotgun at his mother in law.Also he has went to jail several times for spousal abuse or beating on his girlfriends.
Posted by: muris Nov 13 2007, 11:31 AM
yeahAnd I do love him but not gonna let him inside my house

I don't blame you.
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 06:11 PM
WOW, my Ywngie thread has turned into a fan fest over night!!!! 
Posted by: MickeM Nov 13 2007, 06:23 PM
A pretty hard accusation, can you support it with facts please?
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 06:33 PM
yeahAnd I do love him but not gonna let him inside my house
Oh i dunno, I think a Muris / Yngwie shred fest might be awsome! They could televise it !!
Posted by: tonymiro Nov 13 2007, 07:42 PM
Allegedly - the charges were dropped subsequently.
Cheers,
Tony
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 08:03 PM
Well, I know little of this mans private life - really i dont care to much about it but I think his music is pretty good
Posted by: muris Nov 13 2007, 09:12 PM
I share the same thoughts Matt,he used to be one of my early influences for sure
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 09:17 PM
It is becomeing more and more apprent how important these influences are on new players!
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Nov 13 2007, 09:50 PM
Nah, Yngwie would never agree to it - he knows he'd get owned by Muris
Posted by: mattacuk Nov 13 2007, 09:56 PM
I would'nt out-rule that possibility
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Nov 14 2007, 12:32 AM
He'd probably get pissed and point that shotgun at Muris. That wouldn't be good because we kind of need Muris here. So bad idea. HAHA
Posted by: Robin Nov 14 2007, 06:56 AM
Damn, I have said alot of crap about Malmsteen, but now...
Like four years ago I bought his album Fire and Ice, I barely listened to it, but just now I decided to check it out again, and it rocks!!! I've only heard the three first songs, so far and I'm positively surprised! Anyone else have this album?
Posted by: MickeM Nov 14 2007, 08:03 AM

Fire and ice... I don't remember whether I have it or not. I have a lot of records stored and packed away at my partents.
But yea I agree, he rocks.
Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 14 2007, 08:11 AM
why has no one mentioned the
"YOU'VE JUST UNLEASHED THE FURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I dont really like Yngwie or his music (except Concerto Suite), but thats a classic moment in guitar history
Posted by: Robin Nov 14 2007, 08:23 AM
Same here actually, most of the stuff I've seen on youtube of him I find really boring, but I must say that this CD I just started listening to was surprising. Though its not super good in my ears, but its definitely something. His guitar playing on that album is atleast very fantastic.
Posted by: Pavel Nov 14 2007, 05:57 PM
Are you referring to "I love/I hate Yngwie" topics??
Posted by: Muris Nov 14 2007, 07:16 PM

"YOU'VE JUST UNLEASHED THE FURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

i think theres a word missing between "THE" and "FURY"...
Posted by: botoxfox Nov 15 2007, 05:04 AM
Yeah, I think that word begins with an f, but I'm not sure...
Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 15 2007, 11:26 AM
yeah, theres a slight chance, but i wouldnt count on it.
Posted by: shredmandan Nov 15 2007, 11:32 AM
It shouldnt be to hard to find on the web
I saw a youtube video with him in hand cuffs going to jail for beating his girlfriend and pulling a shotgun on his Mother in law.Look around and im sure you will come across it.Also thats not the first time he has been arrested for assult against a woman
Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 15 2007, 11:33 AM
we all know that
And we all know what happens when someone says it.
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Nov 15 2007, 11:36 AM
Yngwie is Great! I was a fan of him when I was 15. I've learn lots of his songs but years later I get a bit bored of him and the millions of Yngwie copies around the world.
So I can say that I never listen to him nowadays but he has an influenced me and he is so good playing the electric guitar.

Thanks Matt and Unleash for saying it! I really enjoyed doing those lessons!

Posted by: LwShieN Nov 24 2007, 01:24 PM
I love yngwie malmsteen style of playing , even though there isn't much variation in his playing but he was the pioneer for neoclassical music after all
Energetic and a fast player i have to say but i hate to say it but i only can take so much of his music at a time! ..
Posted by: Pavel Nov 24 2007, 01:34 PM
Hahahahahaha what an mp3 hahahahahaha Anything i want to say about him is not allowed by our forum rules he's just a **** **** *** **** Whatever happens to you - you can't act like that. He just thinks he can do it because he's Yngwie, and he should actually try landing on the ground.

Posted by: Bedlam Nov 24 2007, 03:59 PM
No doubt he's a great player and has some great tone. Everything of his sounds the same though. Lots of shred, not much else.
I tried out some of his stuff a while back and got bored quickly. Is there a certain album of his I should check out to help change my mind?
Posted by: FretDancer69 Nov 25 2007, 06:03 AM

Posted by: botoxfox Nov 25 2007, 09:15 AM
It's a classic, I can't believe you haven't heard it before...
Posted by: N4085B Nov 26 2007, 12:06 AM
There's a really funny clip in one of the PANTERA dvds where a couple of PANTERA's roadies sneak up on Yngwie while he's trying to put the moves on a couple of chicks in front of a hotel and they try to offer him donuts!! He gets really pissed and yells "NO I DON"T WANT NO F@#$ING DONUTS!" It's priceless!!
Posted by: LwShieN Nov 26 2007, 12:28 AM
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
He should be flying privately then ..and shouldn't be making fun of homos in the first place ..Nice one yngwie
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Nov 26 2007, 12:34 AM
He sure is a crazy guy. I reallly don`t like his music and everything but he is my favorite fast player because his is saying: okay i practised 10hours a day - beat that! Other players practise but they can`t beat him in his game. And off course he`s playing strat, that cool!
Posted by: Mackietao Nov 26 2007, 04:37 AM
Here´s a vid of the donut clip. Yngwie´s mouth is horrible. He should have a personal beeper guy who goes around with some kind of whistle and blows it every other second Yngwie swears..
http://poetv.com/video.php?vid=1398
not really that funny put out of context perhaps. Pretty bad quality too. Funny to see Yngwie pick up some girls though. They looked really amused.. lol

hahahahahahahahahaha. I think hes trying to "act black" at some point in the recording.
Posted by: Toni Suominen Dec 8 2007, 12:47 AM
I don't like his music so much, because I prefer emotion over speed, but I cant deny the fact that he's one of the greatest players technical-wise and that "unleashed the f***** fury" clip is hilarious!!
Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 8 2007, 12:52 AM
idk if this has been posted, but this is my fav song by Yngwie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GOyM2zRS1m8
Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 8 2007, 12:56 AM
I remember hearing about that airplane incident a few years ago. He's a bit on the crazy side.
I certainly don't condone his controversial views, but a great guitarist none-the-less.
Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 8 2007, 12:59 AM
Posted by: David.C.Bond Dec 8 2007, 01:37 AM
Hmm yeah sorry I just saw that how you must have read it, what I meant was that I find his outburst amusing, but definately don't agree with his views.
Posted by: FretDancer69 Dec 8 2007, 01:44 AM
Posted by: Xranthoius Dec 8 2007, 01:59 AM
oh lol
Posted by: guitarmasterwannabe Dec 11 2007, 01:06 AM
In my opinion Yngwie is a great guitarist..although sometimes he sounds repetitive but his tone is awsome and he is extremely accurate at it...yngwie rules~!
