    The story I always think of when Yngwie Malmsteen comes up. Quite a long time ago Malmsteen came to Australia for the first time (1990) and only played on the East Coast (Melbourne/Sydney). There was a guy in Perth who was one of the biggest Malmsteen collectors in the world. He had every pressing of every record, a replica of Malsteen's guitar custom built and the local record co guy made sure he got anything Malmsteen related, all the posters, stickers, media kits etc. We'll hook you up in Melbourne. So he flew the 3,500 miles yo Melbourne and headed off to the press conference that he had been invited to. 'Lets wait to the end and then we'll take you up and introduce you'. Press conference went well and he seemed in a good mood. At the end they took the guy up and started to introduce him and Malmsteen turned his back on him and said 'Oh just fuck off'. The record co guy was super shocked. 'It was all arranged, let me find out what happened'. Record co guy rings Perth guy and says 'so sorry apparently he's been having a bad day, but tonight after the show you have backstage passes and he'll sign some stuff for you and we'll get a photo'. Perth guy - 'No. I'll be back in Perth'. Record co guy 'What? But you have tickets for all the shows'. Perth guy - 'Nobody treats me like that. So he can go fuck himself' and he went home and sold off his entire collection and never listened to Malmsteen again. That is the story that sums Yngwie Malmsteen for me.

      And John Lennon (you know, someone almost universally beloved) invited a crazed fan into his home for dinner who was convinced the songs were being written for him.
      John Lennon had an ego like a skyscraper. How the hell does a guy who is only admired by his fellow musicians get a head this big?
      Kind of bums me out.
      I have never heard a person who wasn’t a guitarist say his name. Even then they usually call him Ying-way.

    My mate in Perth, Australia (who's disabled and in a wheelchair) went to see Malmsteen and even got a VIP meet-and-greet ticket... after waiting in the designated area for two hours with the other dozen or so meet-and-greet ticketholders, Malmsteen's agent came out and introduced him and encouraged the crowd to cheer and applaud as he emerged from the dressing room. They did, but he never came through the door. The agent went back there and checked, only to return and say "Guys, I have to tell you... that wasn't good enough. He's not going to come out unless you REALLY cheer and applaud. Louder! Louder!!!" and then after a few minutes of the people clapping and cheering as loud as they could, he emerged and sat down for fifteen minutes and signed autographs without speaking or making eye contact with anyone. Then he abruptly got up and went back to his dressing room. And that was the VIP meet-and-greet tickets they that paid extra for. It was apparently the most pathetic thing my mate has ever seen.
    A year later, however, Joe Satriani played at the same venue and was a total pro, came running over to my disabled wheelchair mate as soon as he saw him, talked with him and signed autographs and got photos. For free!!
    Moral of the story: Yngwie is a loser, Satch is a legend.

    Long story: Years ago my best friend loved Yngwie and his playing. My friend played mostly Stratocasters. After an Yngwie show my friend had like a minute to grab one his guitars to have it signed by Yngwie. My friend happened to grab his only ESP guitar. The guitar was taken inside Yngwie's tour bus to be signed. When the guitar came back out of the bus, Yngwie had written in large black letters across the front of the guitar with a permanent maker "PLAY FENDER". This really ruined the guitar's looks, plus very much disappointed my friend. About a year later, my same friend and his band opened for Yngwie in a club in Greensboro, NC. My friend was given the ok to video the Yngwie sound check and his show. During the show Yngwie motioned to my friend to hand Yngwie the camera. Yngwie filmed the crowd, band, and himself for several minutes. He hand off the camera to his tech. After the show my friend asked for his camera. It was returned without the tape. My friend told Yngwie's manager to simply erase Yngwie from the tape, then return it because the tape contained my friend's daughter's first birthday celebration with their family. Yngwie refused. The bass player for Yngwie promised to get the tape back asap and took my friend's info. Several weeks later the bass player called my friend from New York to say he dropped the tape in the mail and he apologized for Yngwie's behavior. When the tape arrived all the concert footage had been erased.
    Everyone knows what an egotistical asshat Yngwie has always been.

    His first 3 solo albums: the Grammy nominated "Rising Force", Marching Out and Trilogy were incredible and like nothing anyone else was doing when they were released. At that point in his career he had the talent and potential to go on to become one of the greatest guitarists of all time. However, at some point after Trilogy he suffered a very serious car accident and had to learn to play again. His relearned playing, whilst still technically impressive, appeared to be based very heavily on straight scale and arpeggio runs and lacked much of the unique character and invention of his former style. This was accompanied by a change in sound from the cleaner, cranked non-master volume amps to a much more forgiving pre-amp based, more distorted sound. The old NMV amps were incredibly unforgiving to play but allowed (and encouraged) a lot more expression, dynamics and character that has been lacking since.
    After the innovation and accomplishments of his early albums he could have taken his incredible talent and gone in the direction of players like Beck and continued to improve, innovate, explore and challenge himself. Instead, he has appeared to dissolve into a steadily declining cliche of himself with an ever-narrowing range of ideas.

    I haven't seen Yngwie in a long, long time. However, I used to write for a certain magazine and do a radio show. Album reviews, music satire, stuff like that.
    As such, through the 90's until about 2007 I went to a lot of shows in this capacity and I would do interviews, have a +1, backstage passes and all those sexy things.
    So, being a fellow Swede, I was excited to meet Yngwie. I was supposed to interview him and was waiting in his tour bus talking to members of his road crew. They all hated him and told stories about him getting blackout drunk, saying the most repugnant shit to people when not being wholly apathetic.
    How much did his own road crew hate him? They pissed in his drinks, and he was too drunk to notice it. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen this happen personally. I attempted to do the interview, after waiting for nearly two hours, but his rambling was incoherent, and when he wasn't speaking nonsense he was just a recalcitrant prick. Total waste of time on my end.
    He may have consumed gallons of actual piss in his life, but he's still a fuckin' brilliant guitarist.

      I went to see him live some time around 2008. The main thing I remember from that gig is that he did about ten mins of random shredding, not part of a song or with the band, just playing as fast as he could at the front of the stage. I say ten mins, felt like an eternity. The whole crowd was noticeably bored by the end of it (this was a gig with no support act or anything else going on BTW, these were people who paid to go see Yngwie and they were bored of his noodling). Looked around and most people were stood, eyes glazed over, not really paying that much attention any more. Think he noticed because he seemed to be getting angrier as he went on. They got back in to the songs and everybody perked up. After 3/4 songs he did the same thing again...
      Also the gig was already mad loud to start with and he was there angrily gesturing to the sound people to turn it up several times,. My ears were ringing after even though I had plugs in.
      Was a great show otherwise. He and the band performed really well and he was very entertaining to watch on stage but man those long noodling solos really dragged the show down.

      He's doing the same shit as Kevin DuBrow was in 1983 & 1984 & that killed that band. So, I don't understand why he hasn't been pilloried for his idiotic antics ?
      The greatest reason for the demise of Quiet Riot was Kevin DuBrow dumping on all the other bands at the time. His band members were after him constantly to cool it with trashing other bands. They knew he was becoming a liability & his mouth was going to ruin everything. That's exactly what happened, after the Condition Critical tour wound down, they were finished.
      The sad part was that he could sing & he had one hell of a band backing him. If he just played it cool & stuck to what they were doing instead of what everyone else was doing, things could have been very different for them beyond 1984/1985.

      @honeypot username : Do you remember Quiet Riot ? I'm dating myself, a first gen Banger. You do come across as someone who knows what they're talking about. Shredding isn't everything, it's a piece of the songs structure, not the song itself. Some wouldn't understand what you meant by your statement. A fairly typical Banger will break down the song's they really like.
      Even those that don't play an instrument will break it down into it's composition.
      As a side note there was a mini-documentary on Heavy Metal.
      Multiple clinical studies came to the same conclusion. All the stereotypes were wrong & they were surprised how Bangers interact amongst their own people. It took over forty years & multiple studies to figure out what we knew all along. Go figure ?

That kid was actually being nice, it was really all downhill after Trilogy. But you can’t take away the fact that he was an absolute god on guitar. And one of the very few who is recognizable from the very first note. Sadly though, it is true that he let his ego get the better of him, and is now a parody of a parody of himself.

I saw Yngwie live in the 80s, bought his music, and was a guitarist who was very influenced by him, and even had a bit of a crush on him. I met him at a supposed guitar clinic at Robbie's Music in Nanuet, NY, and he decided to not play and just give autographs, instead. I asked him why he wasn't going to be playing and he said "That wasn't part of the deal." Even though that's what everyone was there to see. It was at that moment, my respect for him started to sour. I since just see him as an obnoxious, vapid, douchebag whose music I can't even tolerate for 5 seconds. Thank you for this video. I'm sorry he's too big of a baby to handle honest criticism.

    I had the misfortune of meeting Yng on a G303 tour stop in Seattle. During the event, just before the show started, I actually ran into his keyboard player and that guy was actually cool AF! We chatted for a brief sec and he was just as real as could be. After the gig, admittedly I wasn't exactly sober, myself and a friend and I are waiting outside the back of the venue (Paramount, I do believe) between the back doors and the tour busses. Now, mind you, I have no idea about this guy's reputation or personality or even a whole lot of his music. I can tell you that his show was actually quite good and his band were pretty freaking on fire that night and he actually did play his ass off and it was definitely a, both, LOUD and impressive performance. So, out walks Yng - he's got a babe in one arm, holding a glass of champagne in his other hand and he's got those Texas-cop sunglasses on. I'm right in front of him and everyone behind me was yelling, cheering, and screaming for his autograph. He seems like he's in a good mood and he was very much a 'trapped in the 80's rockstar', no doubt. Now I'm not gonna sit here and fat-shame the guy 'cause that's not cool but yeah - he's sweaty all over and he could probably benefit from a cardio regimen - but to his credit, he's wearing leather pants and boots and was recently underneath hot incandescent lights during a live show - anyone's gonna be sweaty. Nevertheless, here he comes - he's got the half-cocked smile and he's about ready to sign autographs. Well... everyone's yelling "ING-VEY, ING-VEY.." but I see the programs with the name "YNGWIE". So, I ask quite casually, "Hey." He looks right at me. And I go, "is it ING-VEY or ING-WEEE?" with that sour lip look of disgust he looks at everyone and then looks to me and says "it's ING-VEY!!" and he storms off! My bro starts laughing his ass off... I got about a hundred people absolutely pissed off at me that I (inadvertently) clowned a legend. And honestly, that was not my goal. I just didn't know. Oh, well. F it if he can't take a joke! Nevertheless, I did get to meet Steve Vai and (my absolutely favorite) Joe Satriani and both those guys were super cool and about as real as it gets!

Though i got a first idea about his ego, when I bought the album - it says all songs by YM. Nope. He takes an original baroque piece by Albinoni and claims he has written it? Wow. Moving on. I got my first crisis (ahem) when JSSoto left the band. Ok, Trilogy is good. And I really, really dig the JLTurner (also cringe-worthy, I know) album Odyssey. I thought him saved. But no, Turner left. In comes Goran Edman, whos voice I knew from MADISON (check out the track 'Oh, Rendezvous* from 'Best In Show'). So, I loved these albums with Edman, too. Afterwards... I lost interest, tbh. I happened to see him live, once, at a German Festival. 2 songs in I left for the press tent. Sorry, but that was just pure ego, showing off, and showing his worst side. A pity.

By censoring criticism, even ones which remotely are about you, you are opening a whole uphill battle you can't win. A good example of how you deal with criticism is MAB. He just laughs at himself and recognizes some of the ridiculous stuff he did in the 90s was necessary because otherwise he wouldn't stand out. On another end you have guys like Yngwie and Don Healey, the latte is so litigious that he will eventually start a lawsuit against himself.

    Whatever he is as a person, he does deserve credit for being one of the guitarists that raised the bar. Much like Van Halen and Randy Roads had done years before. He wasn't the first nor necessarily the best to play in a neoclassical style. But he did bring it to the forefront. Would we really have had all the Shrapnel artists if Yngwie had not burst onto the scene? He is probably a great example of "Never meet your heros. They tend to disappoint you in person."

      Blackmore is a renowned piece of work himself, however, Uli always comes across as a decent human being. I'm lucky to have seen them all, Yngwie in 1985 and 1988 and he was amazing, saw Blackmore with Rainbow in 1983 and Deep Purple in 1985 and he was dreadful and Uli with Electric Sun in 1983 and he was different gravy. Funny similarities between them, I think both Blackmore and malmsteen have been in decline as players for many many years, I think in Yngwie's case it was first noticeable after his car crash. Then if you look at Blackmore and Uli, they are both very avant garde. Neither Malmsteen or Uli can sing at all (one can assume that Blackmore can't either) but at least he was clued up enough to employ a singer. All great as players.

      To come from a childhood of listening to 50s bands and eventually write “Gates Of Babylon” is unbelievable and his impact on rock guitar is incalculable.

    Bravo! Well articulated presentation. I'm 65 and have enjoyed great guitar work for decades...and play every day for my own enjoyment. I'm also a violinist. So, when I first hear Malmsteen, I'd already heard the top 50 greatest virtuoso violinists ever recorded. THAT puts his music into context. I would encourage the neo-classical guitarists out there to start digging into the stunning recordings of the all time great violinists. When you do, you'll realize that Malmsteen has only scratched the surface of how the electric guitar can be used in a classical format. Check out Heifetz playing the Tchaikovsky Concerto with Fritz Reiner conducting. Then, Itzhak Perlman playing Brahms violin concerto live in Berlin version.

      The violin is not a guitar, and it is unfair to compare Malmsteen to classical violinists. You are comparing apples to oranges. Malmsteen plays rock music and not classical music. You have a point, the violin is much harder to play than guitar because there are no frets. Proficiency in playing violin outweighs the proficiency of playing guitar. So, a great violinist is a much better musician than lesser-than-great guitarist.
      My point is that Malmsteen needs to be judged as a rock guitarist, and NOT a classical guitarist. So, it makes no sense to compare Malmsteen to classical violinists.

      Yngwie really only plays a few scales outside of the blues. His Fenders have scalloped frets so his vibrato requires minimal effort. Not to diminish his stamina for 32nd & 64th note runs which is impressive i suppose. I think in terms of technical mastery on par with the greats of violin, you have to look to the giants of gypsy jazz - Angelo DeBarre, Stochelo and Jimmy Rosenberg, Bireli Lagrene .. these players are capable of really astounding performances on instruments without electronic amplification.

    Dude I gotta score them socks! The trilogy socks . I had that album back in the 80’s. Only song I remember. Is you don’t remember, I’ll never forget. That was a bad ass song back then!

    Thanks for sharing, always had been a Vai guy, never got warm with Malmsteen and a musical level.

    I've never been a fan of Yngwie's music as it's not my thing but I had huge respect for him as a player.
    Over the past couple of months or so that's all gone. The guys is just an egotistical bully.

      Same. I found his music was no more interesting than a old Nokia ringtone, but he could play. Thing is, he's not relevant anymore but acts like he's still on top. He's a washed up, hair-metal shredder. If that's not 80's I don't know what is.

      @@RByrne Yngwie has made some great tunes.. I used to not like his music myself. Until I listened to As Ablve so below and the solo just blew me away. I had to learn how to play it. Now I can play his music and it's honestly a lot of fun to play and I would never take it back.. Keep shredding homies🤟😁🤟

    At this point, he's a living breathing parody of everything wrong with metal. Basically if Spinal Tap was a person.
