Yngwie is just such a character. There's really no other Yngwie. Love him or hate him, you gotta give him credit for his innovation and influence on such a huge number of really fantastic bands and players over the years. He's one of the biggest douche bags in music but he has always remained...
I opened for LA Guns about 10 years ago, same situation, huge bar and about 50 people haha even more depressing was that 30 of the people were there to see us and left right after we were done, LA Guns played to probably 15-25 people :S

Greenhouse effects double edged - This this is very unique and very cool
