Wov candlemass ^^

I said, i was listening to on a serious note *i am listening to it right now too =P*... I have a video of malmsteen playing bach, i don't know which piece but it was UNBELIEVABLE!! It made me want to learn to play the guitar!!

Yngwie Malmsteen `Icarus Dream Suite`


Classic !!!!. :)

One of my favourite tracks off his first opus `Yngwie Malmsteens Rising Force` which introduced us to Yngwies Neo-classical vituosity, as Joe Satriani once said ... `Thank god for Yngwie` !!!.

Date **** - Sublime

Kamelot, a sailorsman hymn... From their tour album...
Which is so freakin' awesome!!

Dark Lunacy - Aurora.

It is melodic dramatic death metal.

Gwar-I Hate Love Songs

Angtoria - Deity of disgust.

hit me baby one more time - britney spears






LOL! totally joking guys! eww

I began playing guitar for Malmsteen. :) Try to hear Ouverture 16xx I don't remember the name now..

He's an amazing guitarist, but I really find him overrated, and a bit of a snob. I listen to his work, and just find it kind of soulless, it has no feeling in it whatsoever. Kind of sad that that much talent is wasted on a shredder, to be honest. Plus, there's shredders with just as much skill, so I don't feel like I'm missing much not listening to Malmsteen.

I know, Malmsteen after a while is annoying... but he like playing that way... anyway I told I began playing for him, later I discovered a lot of other guitarists...

Nightwish - sleeping sun

Artist: Australian Death Machine
Album: Total Brutal
Song: Hello California
Venue: Zune

This entire album as a dedication to Arnold Schwartzeneiger, and is completely BRUTAL!! XD XD XD

Haha I saw the pic of it on a magazine.. :D

Badfish - Sublime

Tell me are you a Bad Fish too?

People said the same of Paganini in the 19th century, too fast and to many notes, but I have to disagree with you about him being souless, Yngwie has always considered himself a songwriter (he is a multi instrumentalist) rather than a just another shredder !!!. I really reccomend you listen to his early stuff, especially `Icarus Dream Suite` from his first album (a beautiful piece of music). This at the time was a breath of fresh air at a time when most guitar players were still emulating Eddie Van Halen (who was another visionary player who took guitar playing another step) with his unique neo-classical style which is heavily influenced from the Baroque period of music and early classical !!!.

I love classical music and it is a huge inspiration to me as well as various types of rock and metal music, so I think thats why some of Yngwies music appeals to me so much !!!.

Portrait of sanity, I was wondering who your favourite guitar players were ? :)


Listening to ...

Joe Satriani `Ice-9`

Classic !!!. :)

Just out of curiosity, how is that pronounced?

In-g-way or vay, he pronounces it "in-g-vay"
Listen to the album "genesis" 2002, a track named hello... By malmsteen of course

Virgin Prunes

Christian Death `Romeos Distress`

Classic !!!. :)

Lacuna Coil - Closer

She's in Parties - Bauhaus

Hell Yes.
