Malmsteen is in a totally different league.

[@_leandro_borges_]

not league but yes language, yngwie have a totally different language because music is not like football or others sports, art is not who is better or who play more notes, is about expression! whatever, yngwie is 10/10 HAHAHAHA

[@gibsonflyingv2820]

Kirk is a better musician, period. Actually writes memorable ironic music, yngwie just jerks off on guitar.

[@powertothebauer296]

@652Barry: Malmsteen has no league, he is the same like a politician, saying a lot of words without saying anything.

[@tk75jo]

You weaklings. It's not about what Yngwie plays. Every guitar player would give one of his nuts to have the technical ability of Yngwie. Then you could play anything you'd like and crush you competition like f@cking ants.

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!". 🤣

@@back2vinyl493 I think like Mustaine, Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, Yngwie Malmsteen, and my irate Iranian Karate Sensei that once beat me up in class for an entire hour when I was 16 because he was pissed off and had to take it out on someone has mellowed out more with age.

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

Yngwie can certainly sing and reinterpret any song from Metallica, but the boys Lars and Kirk have to be born again to be able to sing like Yngwie. Yngwie is a genius who is born once every 10,000 years like Mozart ,Paganini,Bach, etc . and the guys from Metallica are good too, but they are miners besides Yngwie! 

[@sigiligus]

Yngwie is a gifted technician but his songwriting is mid. He’s got some good stuff, but most of it is very repetitive 80’s cheese metal.

[@budgiecat9039]

I remember when i first started playing guitar i was 13 i walked into a record store with my mom and they would have guitar tab books as well. 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

[@gnatiu]

[@GATvsGAT]

Mad respect to both Kirk and Yngwie. However, At the end of the day, Kirk doesn’t need to be able to play Yngwie licks. He’s penned/played stuff that is far more memorable that has managed to transcend beyond just the guitar playing community. No easy feat.

[@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.

You’re right, Yngwie is a virtuoso monster guitarist. Anyone knows that…but I’d rather listen to Kirk any day. Kirk has great feel and Yngwie is sterile.

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