Hate him or like him, Yngwie is a legend in guitar playing no doubt. So what if he comes off cocky to some people? He IS a fantastic player and he worked his ass off to be one of best and find his own "American Dream". Cheers Yngwie, respect 💪
Exactly that ,what he is sayin about sweden also applies to switzerland ,the man wanted out of this shit he made it became a legend ,worked his ass off:)
as a Yngwie Fan what happened to all great songs that he has with singers? Ill see the light tonight, disciples from hell, don't let end , forever one , pyramid of cheops ,Leonardo , playing with fire, voodoo nights ,prophets of doom, crucify ,tarot , facing the animal, like an Angel, Dreaming tell me etc. what the Fuck ????????? I dont think he cant pay a decent singer , that is bullshit. he "sing" like a bull kicked in the balls !!! horrible !!!. 100 % disappointing as Fan.
His music is dull, boring, lacks dynamics... You name it... His answers are the same bs all over and over again... My fav albums: Trilogy, Odyssey, Eclipse and Attack!!
@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle yngwie is b league?! Haahahahaha sounds like somebody is still stick playing pentatonic. What a stupid and newbie thing to say
The problem is that the finished product is mostly unlistenable since he dropped producers. His 90's stuff was pristine as far as recording quality. The 80's stuff that actually had some catchy vocal tunes he's altogether abandoned live in lieu of the same tired few.
So true ! And it seems no one has the courage to tell him, that since he started to do everything by him self, the quality of the songs and productions is shit 😂
Yngwie's honesty is fresh air in an industry of friendly backstabbers. He is a soloist and like Zappa, wants things done his way. Nothing wrong with that. At least he is not pretending like 90% of classic rock / metal bands. Long live Malmsteen, he MADE IT and escaped the hellhole. MORE IS MORE :)

Press guy: "What's your favorite Blackmore moment? . . . Did Deep Purple ever approach you?" Yngwie: "Okay, this is gonna be a long answer." Press guy: "Good" (thankful he'll have something to write about that isn't in a million previous Yngwie interviews) Yngwie: Doesn't answer either question and goes into the same long-winded story he's told in countless interviews, including his left-handed compliments to the guitar players of the time when he was a kid. Nothing exemplifies the need for the expression "less is more" more than the man who apparently is incapable of comprehending it.
Très intéressant tous ces détails sur son passé de jeune musicien, j'en connaissais une partie grâce aux interviews de l'époque dans les magazines spécialisés; merci c'était cool, j'adore ce guitariste depuis mon adolescence même si j'ai décroché dans le milieu des années 90; j'ai un peu écouté certains de ses albums plus récents et c'est toujours bon musicalement mais je reste nostalgique de la période 80 qui était la meilleure!
@mr.brenman2132 he's not a great a songwriter period. No, I think Ed van halen and Randy Rhoads great songs...this B leaguer never did. Poison are b leaguers too
@mr.brenman2132 oh ya? Let me ask ten who like rock and metal I know to see if they can name any song by him...he's written zero great songs, none that changed the game , zero that are timeless classics. A great song stands the test of time and is recognizable to millions. He writes songs, rhoads wrote compositions with solos that many call songs within a song. Yngwie wrote songs around his solos.. No one considers yngwie the best ...
What Yngwie fails to realize,is that he is a brilliant guitar player,but an incredibly bad mixer or producer.His ego is just too big to realize that.I mean,listen to his last 4 or 5 records,they're basically unlistenable.Everyone needs a little objective guidance sometimes.

I Seen Yngwie on Sep 23 - 1985 in Toronto Maple leaf Gardens open up for AC/DC Fly on The Wall Tour . Yngwie was 22 years old at the time , We didn't know much about him at that time this was before the internet , but holy S#It he blew the place down , we where like WTF are we seeing and hearing , We Never heard anything like it before , ACDC was also amazing and we left that night in shock . lol hahaha .
I don't know how I did this : I wanted to go to this special fest and I am here watching at this good interview.. on the web !.I should have been there because this is one more great Yngwie J Malmsteen appearance on stage as in press conference. I am eating a pizza outside to console myself ! Carthagène was great, but Clisson was on the appointment also, what it seems ! Happy EVENTS ! 29-6-2024. 22:45 Joëlle É.A
5:28 while I respect the desire for someone to have their own expression and not have a bunch of other hands and minds in it, I think most people, including fans of Yngwie’s music would say it came out better when he at least had other musicians playing and singing with him, although at times the co-writes may have benefitted his music too.
With all that said, it still,would be interesting to have a high profile producer, great singer, and a couple of co-songwriters for at least one Rising Force record. Maybe a original Alctrazz reunion I’d pay 10 million for that if I won the mega lottery.
A legend and a nice press conference, thumbs up! Yngwie is the king of neo rock guitar. But why the 0,5 sec sound delay? You can´t fix the issue or you don´t see it and/or other people also and its not a problem? For 10 000 $ a month I can be your editor
I love him and he is the reason I love playing the guitar but he is repeating himself over and over again, both on the guitar and in interviews. And he tells it like he thinks nobody has ever heard it before. -"Funny story!"....
When you're always asked always the same questions, you can't help but get the same answers!🤔What more do you want to say after 40 years when everyone asking the questions already knows everything about you?🤔😅
I think his last album (Parabellum) is nearly a masterpiece. He is right saying he is in the best shape ever - just listen to the sweeps in God Particle. Regarding the production, I got used to it and can't complain. The only thing I would change in the last album is the singing - either hire someone or make an album fully instrumental. Then he has the keyboard player who can sing on tour.
this guy was and is still my hero,He looks healthy better then some years ago..He knows what he wants,i like that!IAnd i want my same hair back like him lol
Hitting all the same talking points as always. "On the Rox" by Steeler has probly one of the most killer Steen solos ever. He's got so many awesome solos but Soldier Without Faith, Broken Glass, and Now Is The Time are my current favorites. Check out Time Travel by Rob Marcello
Yngwie is the king of rock 👑👑👑 for he took it to another level, daring to sound different when nobody else did, opening the door for a new era. He had to take a lot of shit for that. But being fair, he's not only super fast and precise in his technique, but also, to me much more importantly, has beautiful feel for melody and harmony which he can utilize in improvisation. He had a significant impact on the history of modern music and has revolutionized the way we play lead guitars today. That all said, with almost any instrument other than guitar, there's absolutely no question that playing it means knowing multiple scales. I totally don't get why guitarists have the arrogance to think they're great when really they're just lazy to develop feeling for anything but minor pentatonic in unaltered form with very limited rhythmic originality, and how a strange fan base of old boomer farts and their taste-amputated descendants think this is how guitar must sound like. Him raising the bar significantly when I was still a kid gave me complexes for a while but ultimately kept me going. Once I knew how to properly play, it turned out a one day journey to get on top of his style. Not at the same speed and precision - that takes a lot specialized practice, but for getting the hang of his improvisation, finally settling the score. because knowing how to get onto that road it became apparent to me that I had outgrown him long already. I could never imagine limiting myself stylistically, just as I would never wear a crucifix (as that to me stands for a fascistic regime burning anyone opposing it at the stake, promoting slavery and letting Hitler enter the parliament, and for the new Nazi conspiracy aligned with US signal intelligence, that growing up with a foreign background in Germany has repeatedly spat in my face while telling me it's raining). I'll certainly have to wear an inverted one in case I ever get to battle Malmsteen IRL - it'd be good contrast. MORE IS MORE FOLKS, SUPPORT ME AND HYPE MY CHANNEL AND DON'T MAKE TH-cam A FASCIST SHITHOLE . For reward, gain access to my Free and Open Source Web-App that can show and identify all scales of relevance to the primordial soup blobbing out on this dirtball!
Listen to any Malmsteen album (mostly nowadays) and you've heard them all, see any Malmsteen interview and you've seen them all... "let me tell you a story.. when I was 7 yo..."
ya pero que no se olvide cuando hizo la colaboración de dream on con DIO fue lo más sublime, quizás no debería encasillarse tanto y ser más neo clásico y no tan solamente clásico
And not meant to offend or disrespect, I was massively inspired by Yngwie. But when he says he has so much inside, I can’t help but think that everything that’s inside is basically the same. Not much variety.
Ok Yngwie you are the the most talended electric guitar player , but you have to admit that Ricthie was playing sweep apregios in 1968 when you were 6 year old. Also Ritchie worked not only in pentatonic scale. He developed harmonic minor scales ( Gates of babylon) . ( stargazer ) and so on.... Finally speed is not the desiderata..
Shame nobody asked how he never gets bored of playing the same runs since the Steeler days. He has to be one of the most repetitive guitar players of all time.
Could be said for most pro guitarists i.e. Clapton, Knopfler, on and on. His licks are mostly uniquely classically based and don't blend into the sea of pentatonic blues that most other players mimic. So they stand out more when he repeats.
Most people don't know really Yngwie's discography and there's a lot of songs where he does other stuff than shredd , and he has bluesy stuff groovy and beside the soli, he wrote amazing riffs. @@jfo3000
This is fuckin awesome. Dude is epic. 1st time I saw him was August 31.1985 day on the green. Scorpions ratt y n t Metallica and this guy.....dude is a ego maniac but dude is the greatest ever. Fact.
He will never admit it but Blackmore was his idol until around 1985-86. He copied Blackmore's looks, playing technique, attitude, relations with bandmates, etc. He was obsessed with Purple and Rainbow and it's no coincidence that he worked with Bonnet and Turner. I love Yngwie but he's not being honest, sorry.
I was at the first Rising Force concert. Ritchie Blackmore was there, too, and we met him in the bar. He said "SO - white fender Stratocaster, 3 Marshall stacks, black satin suit, white leather boots, Moog Taurus pedals, whipping the guitar strings with the cable - where have we seen this before!?!?"
hes great, wouldnt change a thing about him. i mean hes a dictionary definition of a narcissist but it really doesnt matter. why would u want anything different from these kinds of legends. i remember a friend telling me he met him and he was rude af and told him to f*ck off lol. i just remember thinkin, i dont want him to be anything else. if ur lucky enough to catch him interacting positively with fans, then more power to you but we all know that isnt the legend. weve all heard the stories. the legend is hes a rude af live fast ridiculous neo classical ego maniac shredder that does not give a single f*ck about anyone unless he gets what he wants. trust me, the world just isnt the same without them. they are monsters, so we dont have to be lol.
He can say what ever he wants, but in the end he really needs to ask proper singers to sing on his records. He can play, he can compose, even produce, although the last 3 albums were terrible, but he can’t sing. Not more than every Joe in some karaoke bar. So for a love of god Yngwie, hire a singer. Then we can maybe buy your albums again.
If everyone on the planet would just let everyone be themselves and be their own *unique* finger print, THEN we would have the real deal instead of contrived fake art. I mean fake lips fake tits fake cheek bones fake identities, fake concerts, fake recordings, lol fake vocals, phuck it's turned into Planet Fake, lol all for fame money and attention. Long live Yngwie and his way of thinking and producing his craft/art. This world need more people being themselves and producing/putting out the real deal, whether its perfect or not -- it's *real* and sincere. Peace
@_vixen_4504 zero hate, I like a lot of the songs he wrote. Clearly, I'm not ignorant the issue is you're disconnected from reality, I lauded him as a B leaguer
He point blank said "call it whatever you want I've always rolled that way" after stating he would not accept the Graham Bonnet gig unless they got rid of Clive Burr for the Alice Cooper drummer that played double bass. He also remembered that Clive Burr was a sweet guy just not right for the gig. Yngwie could have opted not to go into all that detail to appear another way. He was honest instead. I respect that and I would simply call him an artist that knows what he wants and will not compromise his vision.
@@Explorer766 I just happen to know someone who met him a long time ago in a studio, this guy was carrying a guitar case & Yngwie walked right up to him & said "You play guitar?, the guy replied "Yes" obviously starstruck & Yngwie followed with "Well, I'm the greatest guitar player in the world...", with the deadliest of poker faces. Anyway, he is what he is I guess. I wouldn't have him in my top 20, but he's a great guitarist, even if he does come across as a bit of a nob.
Yngwies theory is very simple. His music is great as backing tracks for improvisation on guitar. He is popular as his timing is very bizarre. Yngwie is yngwie. He is well aware of the narrow niche he is in, likely severely scary financially.
Being a big fan of his early days, i am a bit sad, that he (i am 1 year older) looks like Cher. He should accept signs of age, throw away the wig and change his attitude!
J'aime son regard sur ce que doit être une création brute, originale... Tout à fait d'accord, il faut aller au bout de son expression, c'est la richesse de ce monde. Effectivement, cela ne sied pas toujours au capitalisme actuel...

For all the credit and respect Yngwie gets, he still deserves more. Yngwie is a one of a kind and a true legend.
Yngwie seems to be in great form these days. I'm glad to see it.
Hate him or like him, Yngwie is a legend in guitar playing no doubt. So what if he comes off cocky to some people? He IS a fantastic player and he worked his ass off to be one of best and find his own "American Dream". Cheers Yngwie, respect 💪

Unlike quite a lot of people Yngwie is honest and authentic, and I respect him for that, fantastic guitar player, don't change! Indeed more is more!

So true ! And it seems no one has the courage to tell him, that since he started to do everything by him self, the quality of the songs and productions is shit 😂
He was good when the RISING FORCE's Yngwie Malmsteen was a thing.
Now is just him...
Too much ego when he talks down about the singers. He wants all the attention.
He should always have used a real drummer.
He says he had the Alcatrazz drummer changed. Now he should change himself.
Love him still.
Yngwie's honesty is fresh air in an industry of friendly backstabbers. He is a soloist and like Zappa, wants things done his way. Nothing wrong with that. At least he is not pretending like 90% of classic rock / metal bands. Long live Malmsteen, he MADE IT and escaped the hellhole. MORE IS MORE :)

TU as raison !! tous les albums jusqu à eclipse !!! des solos remplis de feeling !!
Yngwie is in a league of his own. Whatever his personal/ego stuff, he's delivered some unique legendary masterpieces.
And sadly, that was a long time ago.
His explanation for producing himself is convincing! He is a great musician!
no, he is a B leaguer writing songs that will never really matter

He writes songs, rhoads wrote compositions with solos that many call songs within a song. Yngwie wrote songs around his solos..
No one considers yngwie the best ...
What the producer meant was that less guitar is more popular . Having said that , Rising Force is one of my favorite CDs .
And that it's OK to leave some space, not 1/2 second then a million more notes.
His best albums are the ones that’ had musicians and great singers on his albums , sometimes having elite musicians brightens your own albums
The first interviewer is very good at speaking foreign languages!😅

“I was 9 and could play Made In Japan, note for note - I was a freak who never went to school but got straight As” - LMAO
I know, I guess he believes all that.
The best guitarist forever the el phenomeno of the guitare player !Thanks a lot Yngwie .
And that's why we love you yngwie--- totally original from the heart played with passion and unmatched intensity
He's a cool guy
5:28 while I respect the desire for someone to have their own expression and not have a bunch of other hands and minds in it, I think most people, including fans of Yngwie’s music would say it came out better when he at least had other musicians playing and singing with him, although at times the co-writes may have benefitted his music too.

The audio is out of sync with the video.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think the occipital area of Yngwie’s head hasn’t aged a day in the last 30 years.
Great interview! ❤❤❤
Thank you
Great interview. Love yngwie. I had never heard the Clive Burr story.
Compuso las mejores canciones del metal.....inspiración de miles de guitarristas....es un genio sin duda
Genius
7:20 communist hellhole Yngwie is a legend
So right about that and it still is
He's always so modest
he is always a B leaguer
No ego at all
I've seen so many bands in my 62years and I can say I've never seen a better guitar player

Most people don't know really Yngwie's discography and there's a lot of songs where he does other stuff than shredd , and he has bluesy stuff groovy and beside the soli, he wrote amazing riffs. @@jfo3000
@@jfo3000 Knopfler certainly plays "less" and despite his ego, Yngwie couldn't play what Knopfler does.
This is fuckin awesome. Dude is epic. 1st time I saw him was August 31.1985 day on the green. Scorpions ratt y n t Metallica and this guy.....dude is a ego maniac but dude is the greatest ever. Fact.
Angel Stuff ❤❤❤
He doesnt come off like a jerk ..... just a little narcisistic
legend
He will never admit it but Blackmore was his idol until around 1985-86. He copied Blackmore's looks, playing technique, attitude, relations with bandmates, etc. He was obsessed with Purple and Rainbow and it's no coincidence that he worked with Bonnet and Turner. I love Yngwie but he's not being honest, sorry.
Actuellement je suis a.Abu Dhabi j aurais bien aimé qu il vienne a Abu Dhabi.
I was at the first Rising Force concert. Ritchie Blackmore was there, too, and we met him in the bar. He said "SO - white fender Stratocaster, 3 Marshall stacks, black satin suit, white leather boots, Moog Taurus pedals, whipping the guitar strings with the cable - where have we seen this before!?!?"
I fucking love Yngwie Malmsteen !
I’ m not knocking it, but he’s latest release is ”Like he puts it” kindergarden shit. !
hes great, wouldnt change a thing about him. i mean hes a dictionary definition of a narcissist but it really doesnt matter. why would u want anything different from these kinds of legends.
i remember a friend telling me he met him and he was rude af and told him to f*ck off lol. i just remember thinkin, i dont want him to be anything else.
if ur lucky enough to catch him interacting positively with fans, then more power to you but we all know that isnt the legend. weve all heard the stories.
the legend is hes a rude af live fast ridiculous neo classical ego maniac shredder that does not give a single f*ck about anyone unless he gets what he wants. trust me, the world just isnt the same without them.
they are monsters, so we dont have to be lol.
Yngwie = G.O.A.T.
Legend!!
過去に聞いたことのある話ばかりだったので
今まで語らなかったような話が聞きたかったです
He can say what ever he wants, but in the end he really needs to ask proper singers to sing on his records. He can play, he can compose, even produce, although the last 3 albums were terrible, but he can’t sing. Not more than every Joe in some karaoke bar. So for a love of god Yngwie, hire a singer. Then we can maybe buy your albums again.
He's a mediocre singer at best. It reminds me of when Eddie Van Halen sang lead on that song on VH III. Terrible.
Gods knows how many times I’ve heard this,,nothing new
monster of guitar.
For a guy basically reading his diary, no mention of Mike Varney as the one who actually brought him to the States?
His accent isn't that strong here -- Yngwie is the man and still is- see you in Clearwater can't wait🤘 always an amazing experience
il a marqué à jamais l'histoire de la 6 cordes ....
That's right. The best neoclassical guitar player. And the real creator of this genre.
If everyone on the planet would just let everyone be themselves and be their own *unique* finger print, THEN we would have the real deal instead of contrived fake art. I mean fake lips fake tits fake cheek bones fake identities, fake concerts, fake recordings, lol fake vocals, phuck it's turned into Planet Fake, lol all for fame money and attention. Long live Yngwie and his way of thinking and producing his craft/art. This world need more people being themselves and producing/putting out the real deal, whether its perfect or not -- it's *real* and sincere. Peace
I enjoyed this
Thank you
en faite yngwie n'est pas un guitariste de rock mais un guitariste classique!!!!!
"I don't like donuts!"....
5:40 the most Yngwie thing Yngwie has ever said
he is a B leaguer
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Are you really that ignorant that you have you hate on him multiple times in this comment section.
@_vixen_4504 zero hate, I like a lot of the songs he wrote. Clearly, I'm not ignorant the issue is you're disconnected from reality, I lauded him as a B leaguer
Thank you Yngwie for your art 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🤘🎸🎸🎸🤘
Such a humble guy....
😂 isn't he just.
😅🤣😂
He point blank said "call it whatever you want I've always rolled that way" after stating he would not accept the Graham Bonnet gig unless they got rid of Clive Burr for the Alice Cooper drummer that played double bass. He also remembered that Clive Burr was a sweet guy just not right for the gig. Yngwie could have opted not to go into all that detail to appear another way. He was honest instead. I respect that and I would simply call him an artist that knows what he wants and will not compromise his vision.
Love him or hate him, he's unapologetically Yngwie. There is no one else like him
@@Explorer766 I just happen to know someone who met him a long time ago in a studio, this guy was carrying a guitar case & Yngwie walked right up to him & said "You play guitar?, the guy replied "Yes" obviously starstruck & Yngwie followed with "Well, I'm the greatest guitar player in the world...", with the deadliest of poker faces. Anyway, he is what he is I guess. I wouldn't have him in my top 20, but he's a great guitarist, even if he does come across as a bit of a nob.
BRAVO MAESTRO!
But his best Album is Alcatrazz No Parole = A band record
Classic Yngwie
I totally with his take on producing. The music he makes is a composition that is done. That is his thing...
Yngwies theory is very simple. His music is great as backing tracks for improvisation on guitar. He is popular as his timing is very bizarre. Yngwie is yngwie. He is well aware of the narrow niche he is in, likely severely scary financially.
Being a big fan of his early days, i am a bit sad, that he (i am 1 year older) looks like Cher. He should accept signs of age, throw away the wig and change his attitude!
J'aime son regard sur ce que doit être une création brute, originale... Tout à fait d'accord, il faut aller au bout de son expression, c'est la richesse de ce monde. Effectivement, cela ne sied pas toujours au capitalisme actuel...
