That was GOLD! hahaha Let’s hope the Malmsteen management doesn’t remove that video like they have with others.

The timing and syncing was excellent in the vid too. Classic! 😀

Hehe well maybe not. I think the guy definitely has attitude issues. One funny instance I think of is how that one guy did a bunch of Petrucci parodies on youtube, and Petrucci loved it and thought it was hilarious. But then the same guy makes a parody of Malmsteen, and Malmsteen freaks out and makes youtube remove the video. Anyway, I think the guy needs to relax.

That said, I absolutely love his playing. Other than his lack of diversity, he does what he does extremely well. And no one can deny he pushed the boundries for guitar playing. Amazing guitarist.

yeah, i cant believe he did that, he gets pissed off about the slightest things and Petrucci was cool with his vids, thats why i love Petrucci 😀 xD

I didn’t know he got all pissed off about that haha. But yeah Petrucci seems like an awesome dude and really nice compaired to Yngwie on the other hand. But Yngwie still is amazing.

That reminds me…I might be going to a Dream Theater concert on May 18th in Albany, NY. Can’t wait, if I can deffinitely go that is.

I like a few of his songs, but he has never been quite my idol. I have never been a fan of his tone and, as mentioned by Sean, he lacks diversity.

/Removed. Dammit.

Anyway,. I dislike almost everything about him. His playing technique are brilliant, but that’s it.

As a man, he’s arrogant, and self obsessed. As a player, he’s a repeatitive, classical wannabe. All IMO but you know that.

And Jesus man lay off the god damn doughnuts.

You have GOT to be kidding me. I just want to know why he thinks removing stuff like that benefits him in any way. It just makes people dislike his character more than they already do.

Well, you know what they say, any publicity is good publicity. After all; this is making us talk about him more…

I think this is some grand scheme that his over inflated ego has come up with…
(yet another scheme…oh yngwie when will you learn?!? )

Can’t believe Yngwie had them clips all removed. Damn no fair. The Super Amazing Guitar God clip was hilarious. Wanted to see that latest clip too. Wish I knew about it sooner.

Man that is a shame as it was fantastic.

Yngwie has always been one of my biggest influences in terms of the emotional and expressive side to his playing. His control over vibrato, intonation and sometimes, tone have always astounded me. I have never been a fan of his music at all but I’m a big fan of his playing.
