I am a Viking!

Yngwie back in the day . Such a killer song with great vocals, high drama, and a searing tasty solo...What more could you want in 1985... Metal for the time at its finest! This is the Yngwie I always go back to.

Another classic!

Great album!

I just re-acquired it; can't find my old CD so grabbed another. Don't let it end and On the Run Again are my faves.

It's probably my favorite album where he has vocals throughout the album.

Trilogy is also a great record as well although possibly a bit more commercial but after that album it started to really get polished and MTV friendly it seemed which I was bummed about.

I'll never understand why YJM didn't keep Soto on....by FAR the best/perfect voice for his style. Fantastic. Not to take away from the other vocalists, they were also very good but something about Soto's voice just fits like a glove.

That original band lineup was just ON FIRE & insanely talented. I loved Yngwie when he first came out & was hungry & groundbreaking (we got a taste of it with Alcatrazz - loved his tone) and the first 2 Malmsteen solo discs were great.

I liked the Joe Lynn Turner stuff, as well as Boals. I saw Yngwie live a total of 5-6 tikes back in the day, and most recently a couple of years ago. No need to see him live again after that debacle (band was in the corner, with no vocalist, just people taking turns yelping out vocal attempts).
Over the years, he has become very boring & derivative. I think his playing & tone changed quite a bit after his accident.
Just my 0.02

This thread brings back some good 'ol memories. Hadn't thought of those albums in a long long time. Remember wearing out the cassettes for Triology & Rising Force.

Marching Out is perfect . Great playing with great metal songs . No pop added yet

 

[gbsmusic]

Such good stuff I remember seeing him with Alcatraz at The Starry Night in Portland and thinking oh my God who is this guy?

 

[lespaul6]

I wore this out on cassette tape in 7th grade.. learned every part. I don't think I can play it now lol

My favorite song of his that has lyrics. Powerful without being hokey.

I love Yngwie threads... can't wait to see him do a thousand kicks and play to backing tracks and a smoke machine when he comes my way in the spring.. Marching Out is an amazing album. Aggressive and melodic. His tone used to feel rounder and darker back in the analog days before everything was so dissected. Way better for his style than the ultra crisp he goes for now. He's so effortless and that vibrato is like a fine wine. Him and Schenker with their vibrato. Magic I tells ya!

I think Dio would have been great with Yngwie.

THAT would have been amazing.

THAT would have been amazing.

Luckily we have a snippet of how that might have sounded.... Ronnie, so incredible.

B-B-B-but Yngwie can't play with feel, don't you know? He certainly can, when he wants to. It's a shame he rarely wants to!

I never heard this before. It's really cool.
