This is the best Yngwie interview I've ever heard. When someone gets how awesome he is, it goes well. He is like "Yes it's true, I am awesome, and its interesting that you point that out. Now let me elaborate on your point about how awesome I am...." And he's right.

"No! I'm not misunderstood! FUCK YOU!!" Greatest line ever!! Classic Yngwie. I love that bastard

This was a good time...great stories from a Master!

Just ordered his book relentless

Great interview here 🔥Yngwie is a nice guy .

Great interview

To me, as though anyone cares, there are the 5 guitarists on Mount Axmore: Les Paul, Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Not for being the best ever, just the most important axmen from an evolutional standpoint. There are hundreds of amazing players from every style out there but these guys are the "Guitarist's Guitarists". Cheers!

Yngwieeeeee! he is 😱 PS: you forgot him to ask if less is more 😂

hell yes! this is what I've been waiting for 🤘🤘🤘

Imagine Yngwie defining the twilight of his career with a coherent, well-produced album with a vocalist like ZP Theart instead of randomly shredding into a XBOX 360 headset.

Donuts… at that time in the 90s Yngwie had already been unfairly trashed in guitar media as a “clown” ego maniac via well chosen sound bites that achieved this trend (shame on them by the way, and shame on me for going along with it as a kid). Of course the thrash bands had a different kind of fan base, but since it was already trendy to make fun of Yngwie, people started noticing him gaining weight. So the donuts thing is an extremely childish and disrespectful joke to tease Yngwie “grade school style”. The pantera guys were acting very immature with that video, exposing women, glorifying drinking and drugs etc., and other goofy stuff which is sadly not becoming of artists with such excellent musical talents IMO. Yngwie was non the wiser and good for him for sticking to his guns, etc., and never compromising. I am sure that if Dimebag had survived into maturity, he would have looked back at his childish behavior as not cool. Nearly all these rocker guys that were good musicians have grown way past those days of making fun of bands/musicians in their peer group, and are really interesting to listen to these days.

He was born at the right time. If he grew up when the grunge genre started, he would have been relegated to just a part of a band. Or jump off a building because the level of ego (a compliment) this guy has wouldn't have the time to hang with that type of music, which is still garbage to me (imo). In short, Malmsteen is a one-man band.... no one can dictate him.

The Sanity in the Assylum.

What album is he talking about at the start?

I understand Yngwie considers improvisation a necessity for his own artistic satisfaction. However, it is extremely frustrating as a newer fan of his more accessible, thought-out music such as Seventh Sign and Magnum Opus. Yngwie may think improv is the highest form of composition; but the most skillful improv will never click with listeners like deliberate composition that respects a coherent theme. I would enjoy Yngwie's new music if he stopped the constant improvisation both in the studio and in live performance, fixed his tone and production, and recruited a vocalist with an iconic voice.

To me improvisation isn't challenging at all. If you play something different every night, there is nothing to accomplish, no goal to reach, it's impossible to make a mistake because there is nothing to measure against

I love to 😢see you do another orchestral album and with the girl of night which as vocalist
