@@rhostatton8944 He's a pick flicker for sure. He did that a ton when I saw him for the Rising Force tour. First time I ever saw a guitarist flip the guitar up over his shoulder and keep playing when it came back around.
Just saw him a couple hours ago in Plattsburgh NY and it was fucking awesome. The live sound was heavy the drums and bass were so pounding and the keyboard and guitar back and forth was a thing of beauty. One if the best shows I've seen in years. Just wow.
I saw him this past Wednesday Nov. 13th in Saginaw, MI. What a show. I'd seen him twice in the eighties and this show was just as cool. The club was small so even in the balcony where I was it was like being up front at one of those arena shows back in the day. He was having a good time and when he talked into the mic between songs he left the reverb on which ticked off some guy. Then at the end of the show, after playing for a hour and forty five minutes and like more than twenty songs, this guy says to me "he didn't play my favorite song". Can't please everyone I guess.
That's very true for awhile now. 😂 I have one from the late 80's when you use to have to fight a couple of people for them. Those were bigger and better shows in my opinion.
@@Raven_of_Doom Nice that's where mine came from. I can't remember which show, saw him a lifetime ago at the old spectrum a few times and at the old tower theater way back in the day.
Yngwie Malmsteen is a LEGEND!!!!! Stop trolling and seeking out his videos! Do you know he is one of the hardest working legends out there. Have you seen how many shows he does back to back?!? 6 to 7 shows that is insane and trolls are sitting behind their computers complaining Lol get a grip he is a Legend and plays better then ever and is selling out each and every show he is playing! Lat album straight into the charts at 89! Long live the legend!
I am just watching him throw picks and laughing my ass off when the guy places more back only for him to rip it off entirely. Hahahahahahahah I am weak. Sick shreds too
NAH none of those losers please only Yngwie Malmsteen himself is enough proof his last album where he sings himself went straight into the billboard charts at 89!

Oh, how the mighty have fallen..... Yngwie can't even play HIS OWN LICKS right anymore. Okay, let's be honest for a second here. He is still a PHENOMENAL guitar legend, an absolute virtuoso in every respect on his instrument. But, he's playing so fast he's screwing up his own riffs and improvising notes on the fly! That can be said is the TRUE measure of a legendary guitar god such as Malmsteen, but he's almost intentionally fucking up while trying to make it look like he's NOT trying to fuck it up....
I like his wild and, yes, often sloppy live performance....but!...it's real, it's alive, emotion...many young high end accurate high speed shredder are so "sterile" and "serious" 🤔. Have fun and enjoy...there's a wrong note between 1000 other notes in a few seconds - - who the FxCk cares about it 😅.

I was there. Didn't really expect much, but it was actually great. Yngwie seemed relaxed and as if he was enjoying himself. And he can most definitely still play ...
I grew up with Yngwie, I love Yngwie, he's laid down some of the most incredible guitar music ever performed, bar none. But I can't help but feel he's kind of "bullshitting" too much these days, the hand over the top of the neck pretending to play notes... come on, man. I know you're over 60, but as for me I still want the musicianship to come first over the showmanship.
Despues de haber tenido bandas con musicos de mucha altura y con vocalistas top del heavy metal y el hard rock y de presentarse en grande escenarios ante miles de personas en todo el mundo, este Yngwie ahora es una version gris de lo que alguna vez fue con una oscura banda de desconocidos acompañandolo al fondo en versiones muy bizarras de sus legendarias canciones como pretexto para sus solos que suenan cada vez menos a lo que conocimos en sus discos. Todo esto como resultado de su gran ego que no le permitio mantener una banda como tal donde todos brillaran!
@@Strandberg74 Yes and it is a shame. He once was great but now his accuracy is gone in this video, his playing is too sloppy and most others can even play these songs far better now.
I was the main soundman at Doug Weston’s Troubadour through the 90’s. Malmsteen’s WWIII came through one day. First off, he noodled at full volume through the entire soundcheck, making everyone scream for “Kick!!!” “Snare!!!”, etc. Later that night, during the final barrage in the encore, Yngwie threw his Strat up in the air. When it came down, it hit him in the head and caused a cut. His face turned three shades of red. He went to talk on his gold plated SM58, (he never sang), but someone in the audience had pulled out the cable so he couldn’t talk. He now turned another five shades of red. He was so pissed, he turned his head and hawked a loogie at the people watching at the side of the stage, hitting the tour manager’s wife straight in the face. A minute later, I saw the tour manager running across the stage up into the dressing room, and proceeded to have a full-on fist fight with Yngwie. The fought all the way out to the street. Later on, Malmsteen’s girlfriend came around and said she wanted to quit the tour that night because she knew Yngwie was going to beat the crap out of her. He lived up to every rumor I had heard about him. True story.
I forgot the best part! When he plugged his mic cable back in, he yelled, “Who ever took my micraphown cahble is going to DIE!!!!”. THEN he hawked the loogie. 🤣
Good old Yngwie. Mother Nature just decided to pick one of those guys normally reserved for the the "weird shithead neighbor everybody hates" stock, and said "you will play guitar like Zeus wields the thunder". Would have made a hell of a HOA president in another life.
I saw Yngwie during the Rising Force tour and although I loved some of the songs on that album and admire the incredible technical proficiency of his playing, I couldn't help but see him as a one trick pony. The difference between a player like Yngwie and a player like Nuno Bettencourt is that Nuno understands the value of the space between notes and he understands melody. There is no melody in a constant flurry of notes. Watching Yngwie is like watching some dragsters. After a few races, you're thinking, "Well, what else can it do?" and the answer is not much. Players like Nuno, Warren DeMartini, Jake E. Lee and Vivian Campbell can all play some fast stuff, but they generally know/knew when to hit the gas and when to make the guitar sing a song. Yngwie still hasn't figured that out.
He used to understand melody. And space. But like all artists he eventually ran out of magic juice, and admittedly was often self indulgent. Doubt any of those one-hit wonders have anything on him, though. YJM has more hits & rep across the board. The average kid starting at guitar hasn't the first clue who Vivian Campbell is, and that's not by accident.
@@becauseiwasinverted5222 Most guitar players young and old have heard of Yngwie, but couldn't tell you the name of a single song of his, but most could name Holy Diver and Last in line for Dio songs. One said, "Look what I can do all song, every song." and the other wrote great, memorable songs and solos. Impressive, but not memorable-even after 22 solo albums. Vivian only played on 3 Dio albums and the first two, at least, are legendary rock albums. As a guitar player myself, I'll take Vivian's phrasing, note selection and understanding of melody any day before Yngwie's show and tell music. Both take skill, but only one knows how to write a song that will be remembered for decades.
@@SaySomethingWorthHearing I don't know, it has not been my experience to see a player who can't name at least a couple tracks from the first 3 albums. Nor the experience of the thousands of Yngwie clones with scalloped strats who choose to emulate him over any Vivian or Nuno. Yngwie's not my favorite guitarist either but to dismiss a catalog like his as mere repetitive flash, let alone over guys who were either one-hit-wonders or largely ridealongs in other people's bands, is selling him short. In fact near anyone who's worked with him is adamant he is a brilliant musician. Or was, anyway. Before...this.
@@becauseiwasinverted5222 As someone who's played guitar for nearly 40 years, played in rock bands, who saw Yngwie live on the Rising Force tour and who's only met one person in my life who has a scalloped-fretboard guitar, I guess we've just had different experiences. Yes, he's made a lot of albums and yes, he plays a lot of notes, but as a guitar player who greatly admires his technical skills, he can't, or never has, touched the phrasing, style and mass appeal of not just the guitar work, but the songwriting of guys like Eddie, Vivian Campbell, Jake E. Lee and Nuno. That's why on hard rock and classic rock radio, you'll almost never hear an Yngwie song, but you'll hear the songwriting and lead guitar work of all three of those guys plus many more because their work has resonated with so many more people. If that weren't true, then those stations would be putting Yngwie in their rotations regularly. Unlike Yngwie's instrumental efforts, Eddie's instrumentals and intros like Eruption and Spanish Fly are legendary and still heard on rock radio while Ynwie's entire collection mostly sits on the shelf collecting dust. Yngwie does his thing very well. It just happens to be that his thing doesn't remotely have the broad appeal to both guitarists and the general public as the players who can not only play well, but who also know how to write melodies, riffs, phrasing and songs that are being played on the the radio decades later. Nuno could shred up and down the neck similarly to Yngwie if he practiced his melodic and harmonic minor scales for 5 minutes, but in 22 albums, Yngwie hasn't created a single solo that combines incredible phrasing, note selection and technical skill as the solo for Get the funk out and he's never written a single riff/groove anywhere remotely as catchy as something like He man woman hater and many others because he's mainly just writing chord progressions to solo over instead of writing great songs. Big difference. That's why his songs are not memorable to the masses. Any shredder can write a song and shred over it, but not many can write a song that has mass appeal while getting huge respect from the guitar community. Agree to disagree.
I transitioned from the metal scene into the jam band scene because of this. I’ve attended 40 plus concerts a year since 2009. I’ve never seen a guitarist get as much out of a guitar as Trey Anastasio. As far as live performances go he is in my opinion the best in the business right now next to Scott Murawski. You’re obviously a metal head but have you ever listened to any live Phish before?
I have no complaints, man, hearing this live!! How many years later..? 👂✋️‼️ By the way...Yngwie was right on point.Sry the rest of the band isn't Super Human!!
Not sure what this guy is about anymore? He had JLT singing for him and he’s reduced to this? Can’t hear the singer and even the keyboard solos are replaced. Sad really
Eu sou muito fan do Malmsteen Mais confesso que perco o encanto quando vejo esses shows dele Onde ele isola os músicos dele E muito estranho assistir isso Que Saudade daquelas produções antigas
They're not. I knew one of the sound guys at the Phoenix AZ Marquee who set up the stage for Yngwie when he played. Said he was the most insufferable jerk he's ever had to work with, and every single one of those Marshall's were a pain in the ass to setup. The show was fun to watch at least lol.
Are you high? This man has created guitar techniques that even your metal core or whatever you listen to is using today. He invented the neoclassical style he is a God when it comes to that style of music if you don't like that style of music why are you watching the video? I don't understand people like you you get on here you bitch you moan you complain click off the damn video if you don't like it. But bottom line he is one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the earth He's up there with Steve Vai Joe satriani Michael Romero people who are unbelievably talented at what they do but I'm sure that he's going to take your little opinion and really run with it
Trolling goodly days lol which means you are a biter old man Yngwie Malmsteen still doing Sold Out shows hmmmmm people still love his shows so troll will be trolls behind their computers or cell phones 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Remmst9-tc7ms I , for instance, Buddy-ain't a troll, have played longer than Yngwie, cuz I'm just older than him. I grew up with the music of Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kansas, Steppenwof, Rush and I've always loved and respected Yngwie, No doubt He used to be the Master of the Strings in classic metal but ain't any more, cuz I know myself how to play the guitar. I don't know about some other gigs but this is A TOTAL SHIT AND SHAME!!!☹ Maybe He was sick then??? But on the stage he doesn't look like being ill😉

Cuz i just couldn't let myself some disrespect to my listeners in terms of playing shitty notes like Yngwie does here☝ (I love Yngwie when He plays well and by that show some respect to his fans without spitting on them by the way he plays!) I've already played my share of gigs and on pension now☝ I ain't so famous???Yep, I'm not☝ You don't know 'bout me?-Should ya??? I don't tnink so. So what??? SOLD OUT CROWD??? So what???In my state , tickets to see tigers from Siberia are are always sold out!🤣🤣🤣. So -dont be a little Dummy! Do grow up!!!😉
If he wasn’t such a damn showboat, I could get into him more. I saw him 3 times back in the 80’s, and showboating just disgusted me. Just play the damn music already.
I tend to agree. When someone is truly great at something, a little humility buys them a ton of fans, but when someone's entire persona is 'Look at me. I'm the greatest!" and you know he believes it, it's repulsive. To me, he's like the Steven Seagal of shred. Nuno has way more interesting and melodic riffs and solos and is also 10x as humble. Michael Jordan was one of, if not, the best who ever played the game, but he never acted like it. He was confident, but not arrogant. Big difference.
Por que será que Malmsteen siendo tan virtuoso y experimentado, perdió tanto el feeling al tocar?....cuando en especial en el shred lo que los guitarristas entienden por "Speed and accuracy" es indispensable, más aún en un estilo como el neo clásico, en el que por cierto, Malmsteen fue pionero!!!...No es crítica, es comentario respetuoso por uno de mis "Guitar Hero" favorito
Am I the only one that realizes that Yngwie changed his picking technique?!?! This camera angle really shows how much he’s having to lift his right hand! He’s almost picking like Michael Angelo Batio! Very gypsy-like picking
I was sitting just outside this show in Uppsala, July 2-24. I think the sound was kind of shitty, anyone having an opinion on that? Maybe to few amps, cranked up over their head.....
I love YJM’s playing. I’ve incorporated (stolen) many of his Yngwieisms into my own playing. I have tickets to the Dallas show this year…… Having said that, I think he’s putting the cart before the horse here. The songs are obviously secondary to HIM and his playing. The songs are almost an afterthought. Contrasted with Eddie Van Halen, where the songs were of equal or MORE importance than his own playing. Maybe I’m being too critical. I’ll definitely enjoy the show. I just think a little more attention to the little things would help. Maybe less pick kicking and more tempo. But who am I? He’s up there and BEEN up there for decades and is still doing it. And I’M PAYING to see HIM. So I guess I’ll have a Coke and smile and STFU.
Truly a legend. This guy has always had a special place in my metal heart since I picked up the guitar over 30 years ago. It's a shame how sloppy he plays these days though. The part at 1:55 in particular is a disaster. He has nothing left to prove though, let that be said.
@@Scott__C Troll he does 6 shows back to back while touring the globe. You sit on your computer thinking you are important LOL troll I bet you are a guitar player wannabe hey?!?

Any shredder can write a song and shred over it, but not many can write a song that has mass appeal while getting huge respect from the guitar community. Agree to disagree.
I transitioned from the metal scene into the jam band scene because of this. I’ve attended 40 plus concerts a year since 2009. I’ve never seen a guitarist get as much out of a guitar as Trey Anastasio. As far as live performances go he is in my opinion the best in the business right now next to Scott Murawski. You’re obviously a metal head but have you ever listened to any live Phish before?
Question: Did you get hold of a Malmsteen plectrum...
Yes! The last one of hmm 300 😅
The pick guy goes out into the audience to retrieve all the picks for the next go-round.
Damn he sounds phenomenal
I get a vibe that he " hate silence"...
What is he
doing...
rippin and havin fun
GODSTEEN 🔥🤩💯✌️🤪
More is More
who's doing sound all you hear is yngwie
Is this one of those "SHREDZ" videos?
calm down , to fast man , chill , we know your fast but its nice to be able to actually hear those awesome solos
I have no complaints, man, hearing this live!!
How many years later..?
👂✋️‼️
By the way...Yngwie was right on point.Sry the rest of the band isn't Super Human!!
He looks and sounds healthy
He definitely lost weight. Good for him.
That bit in see the light when the band all howl together. So funny.
Let it go man
Yngwie is awesome!!
Was
형님 사랑합니다!
Not sure what this guy is about anymore? He had JLT singing for him and he’s reduced to this? Can’t hear the singer and even the keyboard solos are replaced. Sad really
Reduced to what? selling out Sold Out shows each and eveynight and Joe Lynn Turner can't even sell 20 sears lol
Eu sou muito fan do Malmsteen
Mais confesso que perco o encanto quando vejo esses shows dele
Onde ele isola os músicos dele
E muito estranho assistir isso
Que Saudade daquelas produções antigas
It's already fast then he tripled it 😂
is alex jones his keyboard player?
Melissa McCarthy impersonating Alex Jones impersonating a keyboardist.
Betcha about half of those Marshall stacks are props
Half? More like 97%.
But sure looks good
They're not. I knew one of the sound guys at the Phoenix AZ Marquee who set up the stage for Yngwie when he played. Said he was the most insufferable jerk he's ever had to work with, and every single one of those Marshall's were a pain in the ass to setup. The show was fun to watch at least lol.
nice pipes keyboard player.. well done
Out of time,to fast,overplaying sounds wildly diddly....
A turkey gobbling on steroids & meth.
Are you high? This man has created guitar techniques that even your metal core or whatever you listen to is using today. He invented the neoclassical style he is a God when it comes to that style of music if you don't like that style of music why are you watching the video? I don't understand people like you you get on here you bitch you moan you complain click off the damn video if you don't like it. But bottom line he is one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the earth He's up there with Steve Vai Joe satriani Michael Romero people who are unbelievably talented at what they do but I'm sure that he's going to take your little opinion and really run with it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sounds PERFECT !!!!! YNGWIE THE KING!!!!!
Where are your guitar shredding performances ? So we can compare ahahah
You're completely wrong ya fool
No Yngwie. This is not the way I remember you from the good old days 😢
Trolling goodly days lol which means you are a biter old man Yngwie Malmsteen still doing Sold Out shows hmmmmm people still love his shows so troll will be trolls behind their computers or cell phones 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Remmst9-tc7ms I , for instance, Buddy-ain't a troll, have played longer than Yngwie, cuz I'm just older than him. I grew up with the music of Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Kansas, Steppenwof, Rush and I've always loved and respected Yngwie, No doubt He used to be the Master of the Strings in classic metal but ain't any more, cuz I know myself how to play the guitar. I don't know about some other gigs but this is A TOTAL SHIT AND SHAME!!!☹ Maybe He was sick then??? But on the stage he doesn't look like being ill😉
@@NickVolk Jealousy is not a good look old man lol YNGWIE MALMSTEEN is a pure legend and will always will be people love his playing and while you old man sitting at home hiding behind your computer seeking out Yngwie Malmsteen videos the legend is touring the world to a SOLD OUT Crowd!
@@babaali4410 What the hell, Little Dummy, you're telling me that Yngwie is a pure LEGEND??? I know it myself and I've known it all along without you hellp !!!☝ And what d'ya know 'bout me and my "hiding behind my computer and seeking out " freaks like you??? -NOTHING!!!I've already played thousands of gigs in my country without sounding trashy and sloppy like that, mayby not so fast ! Cuz i just couldn't let myself some disrespect to my listeners in terms of playing shitty notes like Yngwie does here☝ (I love Yngwie when He plays well and by that show some respect to his fans without spitting on them by the way he plays!) I've already played my share of gigs and on pension now☝ I ain't so famous???Yep, I'm not☝ You don't know 'bout me?-Should ya??? I don't tnink so. So what??? SOLD OUT CROWD??? So what???In my state , tickets to see tigers from Siberia are are always sold out!🤣🤣🤣. So -dont be a little Dummy! Do grow up!!!😉
Those are the biggest mutton chops I've ever seen in my life! lol
If he wasn’t such a damn showboat, I could get into him more. I saw him 3 times back in the 80’s, and showboating just disgusted me. Just play the damn music already.
Naw man, enjoy the show! The bombast is part of it!
I tend to agree. When someone is truly great at something, a little humility buys them a ton of fans, but when someone's entire persona is 'Look at me. I'm the greatest!" and you know he believes it, it's repulsive. To me, he's like the Steven Seagal of shred. Nuno has way more interesting and melodic riffs and solos and is also 10x as humble. Michael Jordan was one of, if not, the best who ever played the game, but he never acted like it. He was confident, but not arrogant. Big difference.
こんな感じが良い。一時間もの。
What a great tribute band!
Any guy that can kick his guitar picks into the crowd (while playing) is accomplished....
Por que será que Malmsteen siendo tan virtuoso y experimentado, perdió tanto el feeling al tocar?....cuando en especial en el shred lo que los guitarristas entienden por "Speed and accuracy" es indispensable, más aún en un estilo como el neo clásico, en el que por cierto, Malmsteen fue pionero!!!...No es crítica, es comentario respetuoso por uno de mis "Guitar Hero" favorito
Could he push the keyboard player any farther off the stage? I know he’s singing but he might be blocking a Marshall.
I thought for a minute he was going to sing , please please, don't let him have the mic lol
Am I the only one that realizes that Yngwie changed his picking technique?!?! This camera angle really shows how much he’s having to lift his right hand! He’s almost picking like Michael Angelo Batio! Very gypsy-like picking
It's getting old now.
Syok sendiri❤
Only performer out there that needs to hire a guitar pick tech.
I was sitting just outside this show in Uppsala, July 2-24. I think the sound was kind of shitty, anyone having an opinion on that? Maybe to few amps, cranked up over their head.....
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love YJM’s playing. I’ve incorporated (stolen) many of his Yngwieisms into my own playing. I have tickets to the Dallas show this year……
Having said that, I think he’s putting the cart before the horse here. The songs are obviously secondary to HIM and his playing. The songs are almost an afterthought.
Contrasted with Eddie Van Halen, where the songs were of equal or MORE importance than his own playing.
Maybe I’m being too critical. I’ll definitely enjoy the show. I just think a little more attention to the little things would help. Maybe less pick kicking and more tempo.
But who am I? He’s up there and BEEN up there for decades and is still doing it. And I’M PAYING to see HIM. So I guess I’ll have a Coke and smile and STFU.
Where is it?
Truly a legend. This guy has always had a special place in my metal heart since I picked up the guitar over 30 years ago. It's a shame how sloppy he plays these days though. The part at 1:55 in particular is a disaster. He has nothing left to prove though, let that be said.
This is way over the top in every single way... is he actually taking himself seriously?
Hes a virtuoso...of course he takes himself seriously....duh!!!
Kick Ass Monster - FUCK !!!
Love YJM forever.❤
Sometimes less is more 😊
🤣
No: more is more😂
🤟🏼
Sounds very good.
Yeah, especially the lead vocals.. 😘
Love Yngwie Malmsteen.❤
Man, he's kind of sloppy on this one. Weren't there vocal fill speakers near you? The singer may as well not have been there.
troll
Jealous !
@@Remmst9-tc7ms No, because I saw Yngwie several times when he was really at his best. Unfortunately, this isn't it.
@@Scott__C Troll he does 6 shows back to back while touring the globe. You sit on your computer thinking you are important LOL troll I bet you are a guitar player wannabe hey?!?
@@Scott__C Just saw you on many of his other videos with your silly little comments ahahaha you are a real troll seeking out Yngwie Malmsteen jealous jealous jealous ahahahahaaaa
The true Swedish king!!!
音楽が大変良い。
I joke you not @ 2.23 i am damn sure smoke is coming out of Yngwie´s backside... !
$30 ticket and i got $40 worth of free picks😂
Good for you
Guthrie Govan said he is a great player. True guitarist. Yep 👍
These songs needs a real singer....
Skitbra 👌🏻
At one time he added a page to the book of Guitar! Period. Now ,show is as important as go for him. That loses the emotion / the moment which is Tone and Accuracy and execution of those. However, yngwie malmsteen will be a legend. Thank you Yngwie for adding that emotion to many of guitar folk.😅
Where’s the singer?
Lol, on the very left, playing keyboard.
@@naturadventur7425😂 it’s crazy
There is absolutely no "soul" in this performance ! Just a bunch of damn notes
Noise
He played in Singapore 2 months. Man, i didnt go coz I want to enjoy a real band!
良かった。
I simply don’t get it. Obviously he is insanely talented but the package he is selling makes no sense to me.
amazing performance
@@guilhermemaia3959 Yes, amazingly terrible
Ooh….. Way too cocaine fast on Light Tonight. Could almost hear Alvin and the Chipmunks singing at that tempo.
Well, I'll be damned, so that's where all the old Marshall amps went ! Son of a bitch hoarding them all 😊
He’s great just to much after awhile.
This is what it looks like when it's perpetually 1986 in your mind. Yngwie was once phenomenal, but this is just sad.
Unfortunately, the tour was not profitable. They spent too much money on picks😂
Can't hear anything else but his guitar
He’s seems to rushing through each songs way to fast making it sound a bit sloppy
この一時間くらいのDVD４枚組セットは？
It’s almost like an insult to the amazing vocals by Soto
Naahhh Soto sucks
Fender nomor 1 didunia gak ada yg bsa nyamain
O som está ruim
Vamoooo Ynqwie
