I thought this interview was rather funny : Link Here :
It does show a more arrogant side to him, a side Im sure none of you have ever seen before cough cough. My favorite part is when the interview says : Finally do you listen to any current music that is out there? He replies : Sorry I don’t listen to any other music really. I must admit I thought that was funny  . Someone in the comment section of the Interview responded to that with a great comment saying"Sorry I don’t listen to any other music really" And it shows. Ever read books by authors that haven't read other books? Discuss. -------------------- Join Me On the Lyrics Board !

I have just read this interview and all comments by people. Those guys don't get his point at all.
Over the years you’ve earned quite a reputation for being very difficult to work with? Since I write everything and I pay the salary, somebody is benefiting a lot from being with me. I agree with him 100%. If you offer money to somebody to do the job, then somebody has to chose whether he wants it or not. If you take it then you have to do it and of course do not try to take any kind of control. The control is in Yngwie's hands. I also know how much money these guys make because my singer was supposed to sing on his previous record. He pays really good money to these people. And when a musician get kicked out from his band, they are saying so many bad things about him. They would have never made a name if they were not with him in the band. It is true that his attitude is extremely high but that's Yngwie we know that. That's nothing to do with his music. Yngwie made guitar revolution and totaly changed guitar playing on this planet. Now when you hear terms like shred and neoclassic, for sure it didn't come from Petrucci or some other mom's boy from Berklee. It is from Yngwie and that is something to be well respected. I also understand that he doesn't listen to any other music. What I don't understand is why does that statement sound so strange to people. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

.) But I do agree he is some sort of influence to any shred guitar player but I just don't care much about his music - just like he doesn't care for other peoples music

QUOTE (pat @ Oct 15 2008, 12:51 PM)  So to compare himself with Da Vinci is just not right! Malmsteen is "just" a musician, not someone who changes the world or so.. So wrong! You took that completely out of it's context!  He never claimed to be an artist, an inventor like Da Vinci or Picasso. He only said he couldn't work in a band situation but wanted to make all the creations himself and stay in total control. And drew a parallell between himself, Da Vinci and Picasso being the same type of persons, ~control freaks who work on their own. Had nothing to do with being genious. Such conclusions is like plain bad journalism when picking out the goodies without bothering about the real meaning of what was being said.

QUOTE (pat @ Oct 15 2008, 01:32 PM) @ MickeM you are rigth, i took it out of context and i also know what he intended to express with that, but i think it just fits into the picture that Malmsteen compares himself with the best of a certain genre... any artist wants to have total control of what he creates so there´s no reason to say "I’m like Pablo Picasso or Leonardo Di Vinci" He could have said it in general but he didn´t. And i think that just speaks for his enormous ego. I've also heard of his ego and bad attitude. But don't you think some of it can be from rumors? Like this example here, there are so many people who will just pass on what they hear, and now they could read that Yngwie compares himself with Da Vinci. One person who read this tells his friends who tells their friends and all of a sudden there's a rumor spreading that Yngwie said he's like Da Vinci. And nobody cares to find out whether it's true or not. Even if someone would print a denyal who'd care to read that and who'd care to spread that further? No, in general I think it's important to try not to spread bad rumors around since that's only there to hurt people. Unless we're talking about truly bad people but this isn't Hitler. Now it was a misinterpretion but see how easy it is to start something.  QUOTE (Dejan Farkas @ Oct 15 2008, 01:36 PM) @Eat - Would you then say that I am arrogant as well if I don't listen other music? To be honest with you, I don't really listen to other music I used to listen a lot, but now I'm in a phase that I am listening music in my head.. at my home most of the time is complete silence, because I like to hear my thoughts clearly, and always have one of guitars nearby in case I get a musical idea. I don't think it would make me an arrogant person I fully agree on that. Lately I have been listening to blues, only blues and nothing else and that's because we have a blues gig coming. Anything else would be disturbing as I'm keeping the phrases and licks in my head. Like you and Yngwie does I think helps ones own creativity so I don't see that as "arrogant" but rather very healthy in stimulating and developing ones own musicality. I know myself that when I've been listening to f.ex Iron Maiden and I sit down to record a song it will sound a lot like Iron Maiden instead of my own song. Better to start with a clear uninfluensed mind. -------------------- My bands homepage

I agree with Emir, I read the interview, and I think he is arrogant but I think he's just being honest about it. He answered everything really clear, and with an attitude, I don't think he cares about what people will think about it, it's he's own thing I guess. He did accomplish a lot, so if did it with that kind of attitude, then who can judge him?
