@@ThinWhiteLuke You can look it up and hear it from Vai himself where he says EVERYONE at the time had to step up their game because of Yngwie. Every guitarist had his stuff on repeat trying to figure out what he was doing. Go watch Yngwies coffee talk with Steve. They have a great chat about the old days and you can tell how much they admire each other.
@@Catbus-Driver but the claim was “no one could play like this” not “EVH and Vai recognized Malmsteen’s skills and their competitiveness kept them on their toes”. I think Vai and Eddie could play anything Malmsteen could and vice versa. It’s more about who could come up with new crazy shit first, and Eddie won in that category.
Я когда услышал Мальмстина и блекмора , удивился их безвкусиюи бездушию . Только 20-30% хитов. Пишите и не только вы и моральная поддержка и я куплю нужн провода и скину из флешки свое
Thats why he has forgettable songs. The guy can't structure, or write a song to save his life. He wants all the limelight and can't collaborate with the band. He'll go down as rock's most wasted talent, and the biggest rock diva alongside Axl. Lol!
@@arsnotoria3755Complete bullshit. He had great songs with Steeler, Alcatraz, and his solo work. His work with the New Japan Philharmonic was also phenomenal.
@@mr.brenman2132 it was nothing innovative, and it all sounded very dated and similar to other artists before him. You can't ride coat tails without some form of creative and innovative writing. Yngwie is technically one of the best shredders to ever live. His songs just lack substance and feeling. There's really nothing special. He's a limelight diva, and that is a cold hard fact.
I was blessed to see Yngwie during his Trilogy tour, can you imagine looking out over your audience and seeing in their faces that you are a phenomenal guitar player?! That’s what he saw in mine, I was up close and got guitar pick too. During a song Yngwie got this unbelievably beautiful woman from the audience to come up on stage, she was dancing around Yngwie all sexy and stuff while he was shredding, she closed her eyes and kept dancing sexy and Yngwie walked off to the side of the stage playing his guitar and leaned up against his stack of Marshals and watched her. She eventually opened her eyes and realized she had been dancing up there all by herself. That moment seemed to last forever. Yngwie also smashed one of his strats and threw it out in the audience. Seen him a time or two afterwards.
What a dream, I was born in Upplands väsby (the hometown of the band Europe) outside of Stockholm and was brought up watching the VHS of Trial by Fire Live in Leningrad that my 15 years older brother showed me over and over again. I still have Yngwie LP's hanging on my wall with my guitars but man, you telling about being at a Yngwie show from the Trilogy era and a couple more since,I envy you He almost doesnt play in Sweden and has only played her elike a couple of times in the last 20 years. I wish I could go see him one day, thank you for your post, it made me so happy :)
@@hampushertzberg3524 hello! Thank you and you are forever welcome! I had no idea this could affect someone so positively. Makes me want to mail you my ticket and guitar pick from his concert.
interviewer asks 'Are you conscious of other guitar players?" - Yngwie says 'No, I hear them but i don't listen" - clip shows him tapping like Eddie Van Halen and dressed like Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow.....
And not one of them could play like him in 1984, nobody could,Yngwie was a true innovator! Now he's a parody of himself. Pre 1986 no one could touch him but then he had that car accident, he was never the same.
From the moment he picked up the guitar, he was told he would never amount to anything with it. But, rather than be defeated. Yngwie practiced and gained a personality that waved off this constant negativity. Even refusing to go to school and practicing instead. Once he was grown, this personality appeared arrogant to some. But, was born out of him being constantly being told he would fail ..but refusing to accept that. And, by the time he was 18, he'd won the argument with audiences! :)
Actually surprised he didn't name drop Paganini. Those arpeggios didn't come from Bach, unless it was counterpoint. He starterd that whole "Neo-Classical" style which is why I loved Malmsteen from the first time my buddy played for me that insane "Steeler" instrumental in the 80s.
My theory is that he took the arpeggio groundwork from Blackmore and Uli Roth, and, after listening to Paganini, decided to extrapolate on those arpeggios. 3 to 6 string arpeggios rather than 2. It is but a theory
No you can’t. He’s not as bad as the Gallagher brothers, but he’s still an asshat. No matter how talented you are, you should never be a cocky and egotistical man child, because unless you’re Hendrix, there will always be someone better than you.
@atticusfinch3931 that not a huge bald spot or a bald spot. There's just a little scalp showing. It's common with people with fine hair, male and female. Actually I watched it again and it's possible the beginnings of a bald spot
I saw Yngwie when he opened up for Rik Emmett and Triumph. What a show. Emmett is an all around awesome player that plays many styles and sings like an angel. It was a great contrast. I met Rik backstage and he said , yeah Yngwie is incredible. Two completely different styles and two completely great musicians. Just enjoy the music folks.
@@wilmet.guitar Thx! I think 1987. It was at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. It was funny 'cause Rik says he had to sit down with Yngwie and tell him to stop going over the time limit. lol Rik still laughs about it to this day.
@@wilmet.guitar I certainly did. I remember Rik saying that he didn't really care but Triumph had to pay The lighting and guitar tech guys a bunch of OT. lol lol Those were the days of good music. That auto tune crap they got now makes me sick.
He didnt play against easy competition. He played when guitar players had the highest expectation in history in the golden age and he still played the best or at least as good as he did on your opinion. And he developed completely independently. That is sheer proof competing against yourself is the only real competition. Anyone who has ever had a real breakthrough in anything does it alone and in isolation. You will get really good competing with others, but theres many negatives, but you will only rise as high as a potential challenge. Or fall to a challenge to high above you. As he says he practiced to be better than he was yesterday a little bit. A swedish country boy became the best in the world in a town that didnt like him. He was a big fish and didnt know it. Dont let a negative environment make you think you arent valuable. Im so glad he didnt. He is one of a kind. The bruce lee or nikola tesla of playing a strat ha.
@@josecarlosramolete6109 difference is when he was practicing 8 hours he was trying to make it, now he has nothing to prove and can sit back and live off his past music in a Ferrari
The newest interview he just did he said " i never practiced" lol..here hes like 8 hours a day and "sometimes now I do practice" should play this for him..ahhh what else is new? Sounded ridiculous NOW saying that..come on..
He didn't practice, he "performed" 😆Nice to see someone else notice that as well. My friend at work and I both called bs during our convo after watching Beato's interview with him. Sure, it was a long time ago, but I'm not sure how one can forget that they used to practice 8 hours a day for who knows how many years.
I was always amazed at how deep his fret boards were undercut and the fact most of his guitars didn't have a locking nut, yet he hammered the whammy bar.
Influences? Bach....... *walks out with a left handed strat reversed to right handed* Yea not hendrix atall lol.. ahh gotta love yngwie and his everlasting ego lol
@@pedernilsson5726 thank you oh great one for bringing this to my attention in writing so promptly. I shall pass it on to the authorities without delay and I can assure you the culprits will be dealt with swiftly!!
He was and will forever be a legend... Yeah he's got a hilarious ego and takes himself too seriously... But still, I think the harmonic minor would never have had it's without his and Jason beckers influence.
He did the Illuminati OK sign over his eye, that's a common thing for celebs that have sold their souls to do, you can seen tons of pics of celebs doing that sign over their eye
Malmsteen is the master -just like me when I was younger I would play for 10-15 hours a day. I've barely touched a guitar over the past 3 years or more.
This before Graham Bonnett get strangled with the microphone cable ,because Graham said :" that night we fired from the band" . The reason was Yngwie playing a solo and Graham accidently unplugged the amp cable and Yngwie go furious backstage and strangled Graham and him say to Yngwie :" Yngwie WTF you doing? .
What is insane..... Thank god Eddie van halen was in a pop glamour love band cause this juggernaut if placed with the right band would have erased Eddie's biggest run ever 84 and 5150
GTFO. The reason he never made it bigger was because he wasn’t a great song writer. Even Ronnie Jame Dio said it. Talented guy. But, What rock band wants a guitar player trying to imitate a violin? His solos were all over the place and not melodic enough for me.
I love Ingwie's style of playing and rarely see footage of his supposed legendary arrogance..how could you take him seriously when he says he's not conscious of other players and then walks onstage with an upside down Stratocaster...😅😂🤣
Everyone loses hair constantly, even women. Yngwie has more hair than some women his age right now. What a revelation ladies and gentlemen, people experience thinning as they grow older. Shocking.
@@oldnikix Easy there, YJ is famous for making deeply insulting and unprovoked comments in published interviews. Nice of you to stand up for him though, what a hero.
He was a great. I played but even though I sucked compared to him, I still couldn't stand what he plays, ...though I know he is better.... I would still throw up in my arse before going to his concert even though I know he is one of greatest guitarist on the planet. And I think the reason is he just reinvented the old. He never tried to be new. Drives me nuts how a guy can have that talent and speed and try to sound like bach but different on every damn song. Maybe he was bach in a previous life, reincarnated, and forgot he was supposed to be someone better than Bach????
this particular period was the pinnacle of yngwie's playing, tone, the whole package.
I don't think anybody in this thread actually realizes that no one knew how or could play like this in 1984..
Именно,и сейчас в принципе нет таких виртуозов как он.его пик 1986 год.в нынешнее время Ингви не в такой прекрасной форме как был тогда.
Only one

@@GM-yc3rlwho wants to make a guitar sound like a violin? He’s certainly talented but after 20 minutes I’m checked out.
He's all reason why i played my guitar... he's my hero..
And he is the reason why I got here in this channel:
Yngwie said so many inconsistent BS from Rick Beato's interview.
"Do you practice guitar?" - bruh the interviewer ran outta questions
At least, Yngwie answered. Unlike other guitar players who can be douchy to answer that question.
Remember kids; this was right before he hit puberty and he was already the GOAT
1:07 Bach... Johann Sebastian... a real good guitarist, good old Batch!
That's Graham Bonnet saying that lol
Todo comenzó en 1984 con unos panes mantequilla 😂

My theory is that he took the arpeggio groundwork from Blackmore and Uli Roth, and, after listening to Paganini, decided to extrapolate on those arpeggios. 3 to 6 string arpeggios rather than 2. It is but a theory
When youre that good and that young you can be cocky like Yngwie
No you can’t. He’s not as bad as the Gallagher brothers, but he’s still an asshat. No matter how talented you are, you should never be a cocky and egotistical man child, because unless you’re Hendrix, there will always be someone better than you.
It’s so funny that his accent worsened over the years. When he was younger his accent wasn’t as prominent as it is now.
