Yngwie Malmsteen - San Diego 09/06/2023

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

He’s amazing in every way. He won’t be completely appreciated in his lifetime. Rick Beato just did a wonderful interview with him.

[@TheRealDannAlexander]

That was the best interview they both were part of. Stellar.

[@ValThor-g2c]

Great interview. He is one of a kind.

[@glickmpb]

...except songwriting.

[@lousekoya1803]

Yeah ! The Beato Interview is awesome and shows a great person and funny also !

I saw him last year in a small club...and Yngwie put on one of best shows I have ever seen. Stunning musicianship and showmanship combined. I understand he can be too much for some.

[@lanceflanagan]

He used more picks in the first song than I've used in my 30 years of playing.

[@jdtaramona]

Hahahahaha

[@mytt88]

The trick is to use the same amount of picks as the amount of marshall amp heads@@jdtaramona

[@dr.krinkleweldon5934]

He uses super thick picks

[@DrMurdercock]

and just think, each pick is dunlop nylon 1.5mm So each time he chucks one, thats like 65 cents to a dollar each for us reg folk depending where you live

[@jamesnorton7601]

Yngwie knows how to give back to the people who have given him. @@DrMurdercock

[@mineralt]

I love how this guy never changes. Same hair, Ferraris, same pants, same crazy number of Marshall’s. He is his own man.

[@bergakungensstudio174]

absolutely amazing, a living legend!

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

Malmsteen will never get the credit he deserves for his songwriting. People always just think of his solo playing and how that impacted the world and not his insane library of absolute CLASSIC songs!

[@brin57]

Yngwie for the Superbowl !! Make it happen !!! #YngwiefortheSuperbowl

[@jeremycarlson1189]

Yep. If you play guitar, you just need the first 4 minutes of this video to realize that you do...indeed...suck. Protect this man at all costs. I can't listen to him for extended periods of time, but every time I do, I am always amazed. A true guitar legend.

[@bienvenidovelasco6834]

Cant he play something else..something not classical shit

[@gktde9874]

He should place the band behind the amps. More room for more amps!

Amazing player, no doubt about it. That being said, every time I've seen him live (first time was 1983) I couldn't last more than 15 minutes. His playing bores me to tears.

Saw him in August in DC area…. Amazing….

[@thebookofcurtis]

Who’s here from the Rick Beato interview?

[@cptntwang]

Me

[@221b-l3t]

Nah I'm here from playing guitar 20 years but Rick did a great job. Yngwie is rarely that open and friendly. But I have met him in person after a show and in my short interaction he was humble, friendly and funny. He'd played a show in Asia and everyone sat down and nodded politely to the beat while me and a pal were drunk up front headbanging and yelling the song names etc... at the signing he said "hey it's you guys" and spent a minute or two chatting with us. I asked if I could have one of the Plexis but he said he needed all of them.

[@nickthinks1]

I’ve been watching this guy for years… never seen him kick a guitar pick before. Amazing.

[@georgeburns8447]

He does it all the time.

[@brianhintze6440]

Yngwie is one of the reasons I wanted to play guitar. He is also one of the reasons I sold my guitar. Then I bought again, sold, bought, sigh….I’ll just play some power chords and crank the distortion. Still amazing and a really cool guy via his own KZbin channel.

I wonder if they all go to 11.

[@martinkasper197]

@@petedambski3792 I think they go to 12, because he wants to have one more than Spinal Tap...🎞️🤣🤣

[@grim9172]

I love his playing on the records. He seems a little too focused on speed and showing off live. I love the perfect timing of his albums. Still sick guitar player. Like wtf how

[@wadya]

Are those Marshalls only for decoration?

[@ianrees9417]

Yep there’s only 1 x cab on far right mic’d up

[@AntonRF]

Very nice playing!!!

[@caesarruiz3636]

He is a good guitar but it is a shame how he is so egotistical.He was always so demanding since the early days when he joined with Steeler.

❤❤❤❤Yes fender owes him a lot 😂

[@irmasil3]

Yngwie's live performances have gone better the last few years..Which is a plus. And seeing the rest of the band in at least a more "central" position on stage is encouraging as well. That "naughty corner" nonsense of the past was just terrible....Still the guy that made me wanna practice like a madman so, I owe him everything guitar wise. Him, and Marty Legend Friedman.

[@Retrograde6]

Maybe he's just aging into some wisdom. He seems genuinely appreciative of everything. His friends, being able to do what he loves, etc etc.

[@willk.illyouii5583]

he was a totally different animal in the early to mid 80's when he actually played songs instead of just showing off, japan 85' check it out if you haven't yet, I think thats his most iconic and straight up badass portrayal of what would become legend..

yea. It all sounds the same after 10 minutes and yes he's a great player but no one rides alone and wins battles.

[@adriangutierrez5374]

Maybe the problem you have selected hearing or maybe tone deaf 😂

[@jerrygirardi]

Technique is not enough. Meganotes is not music after ten solid minutes. Need space between the notes

[@adriangutierrez5374]

[@billlumbergh9251]

[@pauleddy5146]

He is one very large dude. Just saw an interview where he dwarfed a 6 foot plus man. A giant in many ways!

[@willmcgowan9971]

gotta watch the interview with Beato - epic

[@MrPrairigh]

Still the Shred Maester, Rock On!

[@johnechampion]

I think this guy is an incredible guitarist in his own right. He is definitely an innovator as well. The only problem for me and I am 62 years old and I have been playing guitar since I was six, is that most of his music sounds the same after a while. As a jazz fusion guitar player, my ears long for, a more melodic diversity. Again, I think he’s fantastic. But if you listen to someone like Mateo Mancuso, who can literally do anything, and is so good at speaking to the chord changes, that is when my spirit flies. That doesn’t take anything away from this guy. It’s just my preference. Cheers!

[@mlm9964]

Yngwie is a dinosaur

[@MrMjp58]

Whatever one thinks of him and his playing (rather brilliant I’d say), at least he can be heard over the backing - in a live setting. Most modern guitarists, of any style, seem to be virtually drowned out by drummers and a sort of bassy rumble noise.

[@JariSatta]

@@Joe-mz6dc Hey genius : those are lyrics from a song he wrote Simmer down mr. corrections specialist

[@ORLOSTguy]

I appreciate the technical abilities that he has but I need more melody in my music. Probably why I prefer Satriani or even Steve Lukather (not just his playing with Toto but his solo material).

[@brin57]

You want More melody !! Really !!! It's all melody dude.

[@ORLOSTguy]

@@brin57 I will take your word for it. I just know I've heard the description of this type of playing as "technical" or "technique over feel". This music is not for me but as with all music, if you like it and it moves you then cool.

[@jameslanclos568]

What's up with Yngvvie ??? His head is GIGANTIC, it looks like it's about to explode! He has changed big time.

Yngwie is such a virtuoso that his band must feel like they're in the Witness Protection program.

[@RayDGoodwin]

You can really see how strong his hands are that left hand especially about the 3:45 mark

[@duncanfrere2656]

5 minutes of this and I'm out the door. The Marshalls stacked behind him are the perfect metaphor for what he does musically. The hoary 80s hair band tropes, the hair tosses, the backward prancing when the passages get heavy, and most of all, kicking pics off the toe of his boot... It's wankerisms on the scale that Liberace did with sequins, diamonds and fur. Finally... being confronted with Yngwie's leather trussed "package" is revolting.

[@Heaven-dy9lj]

He's fantastic, one of a kind like Holdsworth. Reminds me of Procol Harum in the chord changes- he should have played for them and made great music😁.. But really, all those Marshalls?😆

[@xpander8140]

Yngwie himself has joked that there are only two man-made objects visible from space, the Great Wall of China and his wall of Marshalls. More is more, he seems to love excess like that for a show.

What do you even call this. ? It certainly Isn't any music I've ever heard. 90 seconds and he showed everybody what he can do. Then it is the same runs. He needs to expand his horizons maybe slow down and make music. something different. Maybe more amplifier heads that aren't even plugged in. I hate to bust his bubble but there is eighth grade girls that can play this fast now.

[@WowzaGuy]

Maybe they can do it now. But he’s one of the few who invented it. Asking him to change is like saying JS Bach should have made more Mozart: different artists, different eras, different music.
