I would guess Tuberkulose likes the song I am a Viking or whatever the name is...She either likes it or thinks it is fucking lame...I'm curious...

I love Yngwie...I remember when he first appeared and everyone was like, "oh my God..he SHREDS!!!" (I hung out with a lot of small time, wanna be rockstars...except Leatherwolf, who actually did something).

I dont like him at all really.
Id take players like Ritchie or Iommi any say over him.

He's a brilliant guitarist, a bit egotastical but how many rockstars aren't?

i love yngwie's energy... had a chance to see him on one of the g3 dvds...

in my opinion though, he could take it all to the next level if he would move from the late 18th/early 19th century, into the late 19th/early 20th...

you know, much more chromaticism, lush modulations... basically going from neo-baroque into neo-romantic... think rachmaninov in a rock and roll context...

and yngwie has the chops to do it...

that's what i'd like to hear from him...

KNOCK KNOCK
WHO'S THERE?
YNGWIE
YNGWIE WHO?
YNGWIE FUCKING MALMSTEEN
THAT's WHO!!!!! Now thats How I remember Yngwie!!!Was my first concert with Saxon and Black N Blue!!!Cool concert and I my dad met some of the different band members while looking to pick me up. Said he had discussion with them about classical music cause they asked him if he liked the music and he told em what he did like.Have some of his newer stuff lost all the rising to a friend who I lent it to who later committed suicide so kinda hard to get those tapes back!!!But Facing the Animal pretty good also seen him again in 2000 with Doro and Dio for Magica Tour!!!!

He is very talented, but I heard one of his instrumental albums in a record store in the mid 80's and it just seemed like boogie music with a break every 10 seconds and him playing the lead break.
Kind of felt like he had one descending chromatic riff he kept doing again and again. I didn't even think he was in the same league as Schenker compositionally.
