Yngwie Malmsteen
#5619093 - 05/11/06 09:21 PM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

I just saw Yngwie Malmsteen and his band play tonight. He is on his "Unleash the Fury" tour.
I find his playing to be kind of repetitive. He also has a corny and swaggering guitar god bravado (he does funny little faces and swinging guitar tricks). But, when he actually puts forth an effort (instead of just running up and down scales and modes at breakneck speeds) he came up with some good stuff.
His technical prowess is unquestionable though. Any guitar aficionado should go check him out.

He is the defintion of a "noodler". All technical precision, no style.
Why do all these guitar geniuses albums always suck?

I think Devin Townsend makes much funnier faces and he might be the funniest looking man i have ever seen.
But w/e Yngwie is good, I have a couple cds, but i dont LOVE him

His first album was brilliant. So brilliant, in fact, that he decided to put out the same album over and over again.

Yngwie is a cocky fucker. don't get me wrong, he's a great guitarist, but his arrogance totally fucking kills it.
i personally like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai better.

Satriani is good but I wish he would just play some non-distorted 80's shit. Im a huge fan of McLaughlin, I think hes probably the fastest man on earth.

I think we're from the same area:) Yngwie was a big influence on me when I first started playing - I was going to check him out tonight too. Saw him 2 years ago at NL and that was enough. His people treated George Lynch like shit (and Lynch is a great player, IMO) And Ynqwie was SO pompous and freakin' LOUD!! I couldnt deal with it so I left half way through his set. Im a self-admitted shredder too - but that was just too much wankery for me!
Still though, Rising Force was and still is a great album, no doubt.

I heard a little of Liquid Tension Experiment. It sounded ok.
I just seem to hate anything that is progressive rock or progressive rock inspired. That's why Dream Theater makes my skin crawl.

I only like nitrous with weed, it gets old to me, plus I abuse the whole box, I wonder why they call it hippie crack? but I never have bought any in about a year. I know what the high is like and it just stops me from buying them. I tend to abuse the whole box, then I get bored of them after that anyway. well I heard they are nice when you trip though!

I love his instructional videos. They are so useless. He just sits there talking about how badass he is, and then he plays something so fast you can't even see his fingers. You learn absolutely nothing at all.

Yeah Dream Theater's music is amazing... the singing though is pretty damn rediculous. It's frustrating sometimes. You'll find that with a lot absolutely amazing bands.. but the lyrics/singing just doesn't do it any justice.. or even degrades from the overall song. With singing you get egos. Music doesn't have an ego it just is.
That's why Liquid Tension Experiment rocks so hard. No lyrics. And on that same token you can have singers who propel the music to even greater dimensions than it would go by itself. It's a two-way street.
