Confidence is a key component of success. Yngwie knew he was a rockstar before anyone else did.
One who is genuinely confident doesn’t need to show it unless it’s one against the world.
Massive Hubris!!🙄
There is confidence that comes from being able to do something well. And there is being a smug a-hole because you know (or think) you can do something well. Yngwie can do a thing very well. But he's been doing the same thing for over 40 years. The thing has worn off, his smugness hasn't. Without it being backed up by the thing still being relevant his smugness will be his greatest legacy.
Confidence is what self-absorbed people focus on. Everyone else just gets on with the actual work, not the self.
Yes and Yes. You HAVE to BELIEVE in yourself and what you do. And yes, YNGWIE is a genius.
I’m i the only person that watches this with a huge smile on my face? This has to be the most down to earth, relaxed interview I’ve ever seen with Yngwie. You’re the best Rick!
😊
He has a reputation of being a cocky, and you can still kinda tell he is, just a nicer version of cocky. I know it's part of his rockstar image, but funny how other monstrous players like Paul Gilbert or Michael Romeo is so easy going and down to earth in interviews. I'd say drop the ego, just let your playing speak (actually, Paul while only 4 years younger at 56, can still smoke almost every rock guitarist on earth, where as Yngwies chops are rusty compared to his prime.. Michael Romeo is also 55 and still clean as heck)
@@shredd5705 agreed, and great call out to Michael Romeo. A guy that can play neoclassical metal in 11/8 time signature lol
@@shredd5705 Paul is great. Yngwie wasn't the same (still ridiculously good, technically speaking anyways) after his car accident in the mid-late eighties. In this clip, I'd assume the "sloppy-ness" is just because he hasn't warmed up, something he'd probably get away with 20-25 years ago.
I have watched this so many times already... I die every time! 😂
5:25 "...and, sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's not." Wow. That may be the first time I've ever heard YJM being humble. He's fantastic, and he knows it. But it's good to hear him acknowledge that, on occasion, he is not perfect.
He's really mellowed out over the years. I like him more now than I ever have before.
You captured Yngwie at his best. He is really funny and positive guy who is a real self made man. True and original.
I am gathering he gets nicer with age .. same for Al Dimeola. ..
@@SGED392 So Al was kinda pompous when younger? Well understandable. If I had such talent like him, probably would do the same thing 😅
@@anta40 so I have heard .. lol
I'm not sure if it's his intention exactly, but I love how Yngwie looks and speaks to the camera to include the viewer in his storytelling. 👌
I like it, it's like he's not just talking with Rick, but also addressing us the audience.
Love him or dislike him, Yngwie is Yngwie and that’s what makes him so unique both as a character and as a musician. When he plays, you will know it’s Yngwie! Even amongst 1000 other shredders Yngwie will stand out with his playing and his sound.
Yngwie totally owns the phrase "more is more".
It's his trademark and will always be.
God bless him, world needs MORE people like him
Yngwie Malmsteen is a living legend! I saw him last year and it was truly one of the most electric concerts I've ever been to, both literally and figuratively!
He sure is. Ask him! He'll tell you.
After your interview with him, I'm really beginning to see him in a totally different light.
That’s why I respect Yngwie, he is insane and talented beyond belief.
This guy is so unique. A true artist. Not many left so we need to appreciate and cherish them.
Those Powerhouse demos are so ingrained in my mind. Hunted, Merlin's Castle, Killer, Burn the Wizard. I listened to them so much as a teen! So many good riffs! Got me through many a cold night!
He's known for his speed and yes, its amazing. But his vibrato...man, its unbelievable
And his sense of pitch is unbelievable, as well.
I’ve been saying this too! His speed yeah whatever , sick. His vibrato??? Sit down we need to talk about that
I personally dislike this kind of wide, fast and out of tune (sharp) vibrato. I love sweet blues vibrato on the other hand. It's a matter of taste I guess :)
@@selliantuttimusi6735 Please tell me, why Yngwie´s vibrato was out of tune in your opinion.
Whose vibratos do you love?
@@Donan777 Vibrato in guitar when a note is fretted (not when using the whammy bar or a slide) is by nature sharp as the microbends that create the vibrato can only go up in pitch (before coming back to pitch when the microbend is released). When you play it the way neoclassical dudes do (very wide and aggressive) it's always too sharp to my ears. I personally like the vibratos of guys like John Mayer, BB King, Brian May, Angus Young, David Gilmour, Albert King, Eric Gales, etc. They all have sweet vibratos :)
I've seen Yngwie perform many times and am definitely a fan. However, I know that he can leave a lot to be desired in interviews. You definitely bring out the best in people, Rick.
Oh man I would play Yngwie on my walkman/casettes on repeat as a kid. True Legend. He made me feel proud of being Swedish and also to feel it was ok to believe in yourself to be more than average. Kudos!
His first wife was Erika Norberg
We can't get enough of this interview - these clips were great - funny and insightful. Have any more? lol
My goodness I love this guy and how he thinks. I will remember this saying forever, "Hey dude, Im 3/4 of the way through this painting, would you mind coming over to finish it for me? LOL Whoever doesnt understand why he is the way he is SHOULD NOW have no questions as to why anymore!
Absolutely!
Best Malmsteen interview ever
Absolute legend! One of the OGs! Very inspiring!
You ALWAYS get the full pint with Yngwie, you might not like the contents, but it is an imperial measure to the line!
Nice way of saying he's got a big head on him.
Gotta love this guy. What a character and oh so honest.
I'm no fan of metal or hip hop, but I do appreciate good players from every genres, and Malmsteen is a great player.
Metal and rap are my two favorites. But i am a 90’s nu metal kid who grew up on limp bizkit
@@Ottophil Haha! I don't like Rap or NU Metal . . .
But I do enjoy _most_ Metal subgenres, and Progressive Rock & Prog Metal.
This could be a FUN thread 😆.
NEXT! . . . . .
@@Ottophil They weren't on my RADAR before you mentioned them. They have a Rage Against the Machine kind of buzz from what I heard.
yngwie is a piece of art himself
ShredMeister Yngwie J Malmsteen! A true Guitar Hero!
What's always fascinating to me about Yngwie is that he's the complete opposite of your usual guitar virtuosos. Most of them are humble like Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Govan, etc.. but Yngwie talks, dresses, and acts like a true rock star. Bombastic, arrogant, swag. So if you weren't familiar with his playing, you'd never imagine that he was this insane virtuoso that revolutionized guitar playing in the 80s.
Half of what makes this interview hilarious and fun is constantly hearing the jangly jewelry clinking around the whole time.
I never vibed with the ultra-fast neo-classical style of his, but I really dig the dude. He's an amazing storyteller, and a funny guy.
I could listen to him for HOURS…
LOVE the Maestro!!! My childhood musical idol then and still since I was 16!!! ( I'm almost 50). This interview is AWESOME!!! Yngwie was SO GOOD in this interview. He speaks well, he is intelligent, his stories are GREAT he is full of music and guitar wisdom, and WOW, he is SUPER funny in this!!!! LOVE this!! :D More IS More, Maestro. STILL AND ALWAYS, BEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD, AND MASTER COMPOSER. ( brilliant musical mind)
I’m not jealous because you have a studio, I don’t care about money. I’m jealous because you had the privilege to look Yngwie J. Melmsteen in the eye and shake his hand
now that's why geniuses are always fun to listen to; inteligence, creativity and sense of humor walk hand in hand
Such a lovable guy! It's easy to make headlines about Yngwie but everything he says makes perfect sense.
The maestro Yngwie one of the best ever 🎸🎶💫
This was an eye opening video. You hear so much bs about Yngvie, but he seems really cool when watching this.
I could watch and listen to YW all day long , highly entertaining dude
His noodling at the end sounded so much like his solos on the from his Alcatrazz album. I love that record.
Man, I just love this (his) darkness from Eclipse and Marching Out albums. Addictive.
Those albums are killer. \m/
One of my favorite interviews you’ve done
He is great! 😄
This guy is a treat to listen to: really smart and passionate and invested in his art. Great stuff!
Legend. Great post Mr. Beato.
Not to take anything away from Ricks interview with Yngwie but a lot of this was covered in the one on one he did from his own channel with Steve Vai about a year ago ,you’ll have to watch if you haven’t as there’s lot more of them reminiscing about their early careers when they hit the scene and some cool stories…
That's the problem with every yngwie interview, including this one.. "how did you start playing?" "When did you start using scalloped fretboard?" Always the same and we all know the answer at this point.
Such a missed opportunity for an interview honestly. I would love to know more about his recording process, or even how he wrote songs at the time for example
@@efwfew His recording process? His later albums sound like shit, who would want to hear how he butchers the sounds on them LOL
He has become a great storyteller. Yngwie has lived a unique life and is among an elite group of guitar players that will probably never be matched in influence now.
Awesome 👌 love listening to the man
Thank you Rick!
More of these YM clips please Rick... because remember... MORE IS MORE!
The "too many notes" comment reminded me of the movie Amadeus, when the Austrian king tells Mozart to take a few notes out of his arrangement because he is using to many notes.
The Austrian King was right.
❤❤❤ THIS IS KENNETH DUANE HOLLEY. MY 91 YEAR OLD DAD ( NOW IN HEAVEN) AND LISTENED TO AND WATCHED YNGWIE 'S MUSIC/ DVDS . MY DAD PLAYED FENDER ELECTRIC/ ACOUSTIC GUITARS, SANG, PLAYED PEDAL STEEL, BASS- I NOW OWN HIS OLD VINTAGE GUITARS AND FENDER TUBE AMPS. THANK YOU YNGWIE FOR BONDING DAD AND I. I AM A DRUMMER/ ENGINEER AMONG OTHER THINGS
More Malmsteen is more Malmsteen, and that's good!
TBH all of your interviews are works of art. Truly. Everyone talks to you like they've known you forever, they trust you in a way that they might not others. You manage to get them at their true selves every time, talking about the thing they care about the most. Yngwie seems genuinely happy to talk to you.
Awesome interview! Yngwie is fantastic!
Yngwie is not insecure. Someone said that as to why he projects confidence and its silly. Because Yngwie was always confident before he became famous. And its not just him, I notice its true about every successful person who has invested a ton of time and energy into whatever they are passionate about.
You say Yngwie has not improved in the last 40 years? well he has in ways you may not even recognize. I love his work in Alcatrazz and his earlier solo albums... I think his Concerto album with the orchestra was and still is amazing. No one had done anything like that before. He was the first to do it in that context, followed by Steve Vai...He has already proved that he can write great songs, ballads and fusion type stuff, Reggae and blues...He also plays various instruments like Drums, Sitar, cello and bass..piano.
Yngwie is confident because he loves what he does and he loves the guitar. He never lost touch with his inner child. He is just as excited about playing today as he was when he first heard Ritchie Blackmore on his sisters record player. And when you sell out every place you go to play at just as you did in the 80s and 90s that of course gives you even more confidence ..
Sure, we wish he would put another band together and wrote good songs again and get a producer to bring out more of his best in him because we know he has alot more to offer than just shredding and being a one man show. Of course! But he has earne the right to do what he wants to do and have fun doing it.
Great inteview and how can less be more (more is more)😃😉
It's so fitting that his talent is bundled with a dude who is a true, funny, wild character. Perfect.
Yngvie is awesome! I totally understand his attitude towards having other people co-writing. I write music myself and I just don't have enough trust in other musicians to let them contribute to my songs. Except for drummers. Because I can't play drums. But I can play keyboards, guitars, bass and sing.
Yngwie’s attitude reminds me of michael Jordan, so much confidence with all the skills to back it up
I wish I had that level of self-confidence.
it's always good, Yngwie.
I’m insanely jealous of you Rick. Yngwie is hilarious. I would love to just hang with the guy like this.
I got to hang out with Yngwie twice in the 1990s and they were both just really fun times. I'm sure he has a complex personality, especially professionally, but he can be a really cool guy, too.
I hope Yngwie is next to release a box set and hopefully include those old demos from his youth and other rarities
What a fascinating guy!
That's great, post more clips and excluded content, thank you Mr. Beato!
You should check his 90s work like Magnum Opus and the Seventh Sign. Amazing records ❤
Rick, you just have to, have to, have to, have Yngwie on again. Such a great interview and there is so much more for you to get out of the guy. You just have the best relaxed manner for your interviews and it really brings out the best in the artist at hand.
I've always loved Yngwie so much. I never found him to be an "ego maniac" just outspoken and definitely confident. But what I takeaway from this interview in particular is that he is FUNNY AS HELL!
I Love Ynqwies statement -More is more! How can less be more?
So true.
Wow, I could learn quickly to enjoy this Yngwie!! Nice!!!
Love the Yngwie interviews Mr. Beato. I never realized what a large man Yngwie is until he was standing next to you!
Tim Robbins says "Don't plan it, schedule it!" and this is why Yngwie is successful
I think that’s Tony Robbins.
@@digitaldroo😂
Yngwie is the only one I still adore these days, the test of time tells he's the real thing.
Can we have a 5 hour Yngwie interview?
Rick, don’t know if you read these .
But do a video on TH-cam guitarists and how a lot of music now is missing passion.
The kids now get all the notes right and have amazing skills, but they seem to have forgotten the feel.
I see this so much when I see TH-cam guitarists playing covers. They nail the notes, because of course they can slow stuff down now, have tons of vids of the artist playing the song live so they can see which position they are playing in etc.
we didn’t have that decades ago. But as my guitar mentor would tell me “ it doesn’t matter if you get 100% of the notes right, figure out the guitarists feel”
And that’s what we really strived for.
I see a huge lack of that nowadays.
Cheers
"I don't know. What do you think?" 😂
I always try to find new applications for the screw in a light bulb joke. I haven't heard that one before.
'stuff like this' - my favorite Yngwie lick haha
I used to have a cassette 90 filled with just his solos. Back to back. No songs, i just painstakingly recorded his solos to sing to! 😂
Less is more only works with the interviewer, letting them talk and carry on. 🤣❤
I'm not the biggest Yngwie fan, but that right picking hand is simply phenomenal!!!
I love the instrumental Marching out from 1985.
Really one of his best playing.
Yngwie is so original. He is really a unique artist. He made his own genre of music. I have read many negative things about him (I don't know, maybe they were right) but this interview tells me otherwise. I have listened to Yngwie since I was 13 years old. I started with the Trilogy. I have never stopped listening to him. As he says at the end, he does what he does; sometimes it is good, sometimes not much, BUT what he does is always original. I strongly believe he is one of the most important components of rock music overall.
When we get more Yngwie interviews.
When he alludes to his 1st band in the States it was in Graham Bonnet's Alcatrazz, the album was off the hook when I first heard it on a Cassette back in 83 from a kid who had moved from LA and played guitar like I did, I was blown away. I had always been a huge UFO/Michael Schenker fan and to me Assault Attack was one of MSG's best albums, but they never toured off of it. I would read Creem and there were constant stories about Bonnet failing performing live with Rainbow which was why Blackmore canned him & Schenker dropping him. That being said I have seen Alcatrazz live 4 times in club venues with no flaw in Graham's vocals, last time I saw them I want to say was in 2010 opening for Y&T, he reminded me of a 90's George Siefert lol.
Fantastic Tom!
That was the fastest 5:27 ever! I blinked and it was done
Funny thing is that he threaten the drummer to be fired but he didn't even pay him a dime..lol..You're goat Yngwie..haha
DAMN , that tone he has
You like squeak?
Bello.💗💗💗💗💗💗
For a dude that has a reputation for being big headed, selfish and very egotistical I really enjoyed this interview (the original long one). My theory is a lot of the World has matched him with their ego - influencers and various social media personalities - plus a large portion of the younger generation. The big difference is they have nothing to boast about and he is definitely very talented
Its because basically he has always been a solo artist and thus would tell the band members exactly what to do as opposed to the way it was in the 80's where everyone in other bands would have a say for the most part.
What a guy... 😊
Funny guy and really enjoying his passion
MORE CLIPS PLEASE!
Every singer is like a different blend of the highest quality paint. Not always the easiest to work with, but the end result can't be denied.
people forget or not get the main thing, Yngwie worked on technique and all but he made it beacuse he wrote music, he wrote songs! not just guitar solos!
I always thought I didn’t like this guy but I fking love him now 😂
Guy can do everything all the deemed greatest and legendary guitarist did with his eyes closed
I have heard the more is more story a lotta times, but the details he mentions here changes the whole thing :D
his tone and vibrato... damn good.
Should have recorded the bracelets on a separate channel to subtract :D
You want to hate him, but you can't. He's just Yngwie.
