Re: yngwie malmsteen

Last time I saw Yngwie was on the G3 DVD... I didn't recognize him!  I had some of the same thoughts...  I used to love him way back when, in fact, my first ever album was Trilogy, but it got old after a while. 

Has he made any recent recordings? I really haven't kept up with his career- sounds like the music hasn't changed for the better?

I had his "Rising Force" album. "Black Star" is a killer song. Unfortunately, that was about the only song I liked by him.

I was never a fan of Yngwie's playing style, but it was cool to watch on the G3 DVD.

I saw Yngwie once in a G3 show. 80's, true. Fat, yes. Arrogant, yes. But somehow I found myself LOVING his show. He was a lot of fun to watch. I especially liked when he slowly runs his right hand through his gnarly long hair while he keeps playing guitar with his left hand. He did that about 100 times.

POPS does not really bring in blues acts, + good place for a gear heist - a little rough -(Sauget-?)= not good

Re: yngwie malmsteen

Yngwie is still putting out albums and they are much better than his mid to late 90's stuff !  I wish he would just give up on vocals and stick with mostly instrumental.

I caught him on the G3 tour as well and though he needs to worry more about playing than hamming it up, it is something to see !
