He actually said "See you in Tokyo bitc$, but was edited. You might already know but it was a reference to the infamous Yngwie airline flight recording when a woman poured a glass of water on him lol. It's funny that James know about that hilarious audio.

[@budgiecat9039]

​​@@back2vinyl493I can't remember exactly when it was but there was an old Guitar for the Practicing Musician issue where they interviewed Yngwie and gave him a blind listening test or various guitarists in which he was basically roasting them all. I specifically remember Satriani and then when they told him it was Joe, Yngwie walked it back a bit saying he's normally fantastic. I seem to recall them showing him Kirk as well though and he ripped him apart, so I wouldn't be surprised if the band members know that as well. I'm pretty sure when Rolling Stone magazine did their top 100 guitarists of all time they listed Kirk above Yngwie, which was ludicrous, but they also listed Kirk above Joe Satriani which was the biggest wtf bullshit ever considering he was Kirk's teacher and is objectively better not even an argument. 😂

[@back2vinyl493]

@budgiecat9039 Ya, had no filter. I remember he did an interview in Guitar School magazine and they asked him what he thought of rap music to wich he replied "That stuff is rock bottom sh*t!". 🤣

His guitar playing has become dull, repetitive live and on CD 😅(the man has a lot of great tunes, riffs, melodies, classical chord progressions and he deserves credit for his influence on european power metal guitar playing and metal in general. EVH did that for hard rock but when it comes to metal YJM is a major influence imo) His last enjoyable album to me was "Perpetual Flame" (I'm fond of his early classical guitar playing. Of course he is not a John Williams or Vicente Amigo kind of guitarist but you can tell he was devoted to the instrument) Cheers

I bought Trilogy shit album and tab book blindly mainly because the cover of the album had him holding his guitar on a cliffside against what looked like the dragon Tiamat from Dungeons & Dragons (even though i was never into D&D) so yeah bought it sight unseen and he became one of my influences even before EVH, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Metallica lol

True that, Hammet! Yng's directional picking , with single note lines, is equal in tempo and velocity to sweep arpeggios . many times he goes back and fourth between the two, where as most guitarists will follow an entire progression with 2 octave arpeggios

[@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316]

Exactly. To me this stuff just feels like click bait trying to give fans the impression that Metallica can’t play anymore. So they pretended that Hammett was trying to play like Malmsteen to get guitar snobs to piss their pants laughing at Kirk because Malmsteen once said he wasn’t very good.

[@budgiecat9039]

​@@MusicissuperiorEVHROX316well Yngwie was right albeit it snobbish 😂

[@budgiecat9039]

Yngwie didn't consider top three string arpeggios as true sweeps. Thats why he said that. He certainly never did any of those huge sweeps the Shrapnel guys or Drank Gambale were doing.

Being a technical wiz doesn’t mean shit…Unless you’re Steve Morse who would smoke both of them and everyone else too.

[@peterruler48]

I'm still not sure what I love about Yngwie tbh., after I was introduced to his album Trilogy at 21 (now 57) by an evangelical church going heavy rocker. I then bought the first album Rising Force, later Odyssey and finally Eclipse. I guess it was the energy, ego fast playing and good song hocks, but also a level of mysticism, new found loves and my gradual move into heavy rock music and it's dress code. It was largely a blast from 21 to 24. I then moved pretty quickly from glam to grunge. Hmm, 24-28 was somewhat darker before moving to London. Without any doubt though, he's a legend, and his music is moulded into some great life experiences for me.

Kirk is a great guitarrist. If youtube have many videos of young people playing like Yngwie, Kirk that is a experimented guitarrist, can play like Yngwie. He must practice and learn other style. You can play hard, metal, progressive and dont play flamenco, for example. Kirk plays in Metallica for 40 years. If he had played in other bands, other styles, he would have other musical experiences. All that being said, he doesn't need to play like another guitarist. He is and will be the guitarist of MetallicA. As Dave Murray is and will be the guitarist of Iron Maiden, and other great musicians who have luckily made their musical career in the same band. Sorry for my english.

[@budgiecat9039]

You know for years i always thought 'wow how does Kirk sound like Mustaine in solos but not as good,', then i found out he was actually just using Mustaines solos from early on. He then just kinda acquired that aggressive style of playing (Zakk Wylde is another one) but then once he learned what a wah wah pedal was he got progressively worse. Shoulda kept getting more Satriani lessons

I've seen it so many times, players devote their lives trying to nail down this type of technique, to the detriment of other areas of their playing. It becomes a soulless exercise of muscle memory and a fidget toy. It's quite sad really. I went down this road myself, foolishly thinking that if I could master technique I'd be able to play anything. Then you hear someone like Robben Ford, and realise you're still a beginner.
