Idk about techno, but there's a power metal group from Italy that covered a trance tune by Cenith X -Feel. Can't remember the band's name but Fabio Lione used to be a member
Most folks don't give ABBA enough credit. They really took the music scene by force and production and many multiple hits, the chemistry, sound and the unique contrasting octaves of Agnetha and Freida will never be duplicated; ever. Yngwie was just givng them their props and is proud to be one of them.
ABBA is also the most-covered (song) band in the history of pop music. They were master of the pop song. Incredible musicians, vocalists and band. I don't know of anyone else who wrote so many "perfect" pop songs. Love that he did this!
lol what? Most people dont give Abba enough credit? Were you high or drunk when you wrote this 7 years ago? You clearly don't "luv yes music" whatever the hell that means. Abba have one of the biggest selling albums of ALL TIME. Idiot.
Malmsteen showed his greatness as musician by picking a totally pop song, and covering it respectfully and making a kicking ass hit at the end, and also by showing that he's able to play not only solo-songs
@@anibalalvarez4169 allegedly he was giddy at the prospect of singing the lyrics “gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight” and was heavily disappointed by Yngwie changing the lyrics.
Abba and Lady Gaga songs seem to always translate well into metal covers. Their music is deceptively complex for pop and metal heads seem to recognize it and enjoy reworking all the components into face melting awesomeness.
it can be very complex. certainly more complex than most teen pop rock. that said, complexity doesn't make music good. it CAN however make it more interesting.
@@hornypervert3781 That's not true, it's a masterpiece without any covers, trust me when I say as a metalhead I'm blown away by Abba songs, they're way deeper than they appear to be.
I'm a big fan of Abba. to this day they are unmatched in the pop genre but this cover version is fantastic. it was a joy to listen. anyone know of other rock covers of Abba songs? Thanks!
No surprise really that ABBA is appreciated by a lot of Rock / Metal fans. In their early days, they were as much a Glam Rock band as anything else before embracing Pop. But they maintained a Rock edge throughout. And a great melody will always easily be adaptable. It's why much of their music can be 'rocked up' as well as be adapted to Classical tastes. It also helps that there was always a dark melancholy bubbling under the surface of even some of their upbeat numbers. Check out some of the 'Swedish Hitz Goes Metal' videos for more ABBA covers. 'Money, Money, Money' by Reinxeed is really good. 'I'm a Marionette' by Ghost (the original was creepy enough), 'Summer Night City' by Therion. Old Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, Led Zep, Undertones fan myself.
I love the abba version but this is just perfect!! This is exactly what I wanted from a cover. This rock/metal voice with the guitars mannnn it doesn’t get better than this!
What people just don't get, and it's usually the slower players that don't TBH, is that feeling does NOT equal SLOW, and FAST does NOT equal NO FEELING. Yngwie has as much feeling as ANY slower player, his feeling is just different.
All that feel nonsense is just bullshit from mediocre guitar players that aren't fast enough to play Scuttle buttin so they compensate by speaking mad trash against everyone who can. ;)
@@tomebasic2843 No...there is more to playing than riffs at 100 miles an hour.....While Yngwie is a good player technically he is quite boring musically
@@wahwahgaboor if by "dull" you mean you get used to his sound, then that can be said of ANY guitarist you care to name. Beyond that, it's a matter of personal taste.
when i was younger i used to think he did this out of irony. like just to rpove he can make anything sound metal. then i realized its already metal. this is some maiden/dio esq song with more pop. Malmsteen simply translated it for us nerds.
It was fom the metal and rock age, Benny and Bjorn were definetely influenced by the early rock, listen to eagle and see if you cant hear a screaming facemelting metal version in there :D
AQ40V I've been a metalhead for most of my life (listening to a wide range of genres like death metal, thrash, melodeath, Viking, power, heavy, symphonic black, prog, etc.), and I love ABBA! It might be in part also due to the fact I grew up with this band. My dad also loves them, but he also loves classic rock too, so there you go! haha
I love Metal, and I also like Abba's music, but never did I think these two could be fused together. Well, Yngwie - you've proved me wrong. Hats of to you sir, this absolutely fantastic, and a great homage to your fellow compatriots. Great stuff
Therion - Summer Night City is my favorite metal ABBA cover. The band Ghost is heavily influenced by ABBA and it adds an pop element to their 80s hard rock and heavy metal. Their latest album is even recorded in ABBA's old studio and uses ABBA instruments in some tunes. Very well written stuff, very popular nowadays.

lofl!! Youre trying to be stupid right? Its the most technical of all guitar based genres except maybe jazz and classical and not all the time
Why did you even respond to this idiot? lol Metals not complex? Im a metal guitarist from way back. Its very technical. He may be just trollin

Nope, Paganini

Surely you mean cross a twat with a guitar. Its utter fucking shit.

better than the ABBA version, I'd say
A Swedish musician cover another Swedish masterpiece ! Acceptable (y) (y)

Also, dont forget Eagle to be a perfect song for a prog rock cover. It is almost Rush/Floyd like in its atmosphere.
Anirudh Viswanathan Rob Rock did a great version of Eagle on his Rage of Creation album.
I'm a Marionette and The Visitors were actually both pretty dark (so was "the day before you came", but in a very different way)
ABBA's song "Watch out" from their early days is too much underestimated. Actually this song is real ROCK/Metal.

This fits perfectly as a power metal song. If an individual never listened to the original might even thing this is Malmsteen original .
Abba strangely enough strikes a chord with most head bangers, personally to me Helloween cover of Lay All Your Love On Me is fucking beautiful
That's because, although they were a pop band, pop bands then had rock elements in their music. One could cover SOS and make it one hell of a hit.
I've noticed that as well, many metalheads have confessed to be closet fans of ABBA.

If they had Rob Halford on vocals, they could leave the lyrics without changing
Awesome Version BRILLAINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No complains about Yngwie , but he's totally overshadowed by Mark Boal's AWESOME vocal performance..
Finn Kåre Karlsen hands down his best lead man!!!!
Yngve's solo can't be overshadowed :)
Totally agree with OP. Extremely impressive vocal performance.
Dude...for SURE
This is pure gold, I'd like to know what the Abba guys thought about this cover

It's so weird to me, that ABBA influences all these metal acts (and not just Swedish ones... Iron Maiden also loves their music)
yngwie malmsteen abba
well, you see, ABBA is metal AF
"Watch Out" of Abba is metal
Also, Ritchie Blackmore was a big fan.
Agda's vocals are metal sometimes.
Yngwies outtro solo is just blazing, a proverbial black page of notes, clocking in of coarse at light speed!!!🎼🎸....
Actually it's faster.....than the speed of light
Yngwie J malmsteen & ABBA the best of swedish music ever.
Meshuggah tho
The best cover ever!
This is so freakin badass im out of words!
Did not know this was an ABBA song until I came across it on you tube.
ABBA had great songs, still enjoy listening to them
ABBA has never tasted this good!
Well played, my friend...
