I feel no need to defend Yngwie whatsoever. He's a legend.

Hes got arguably the best vibrato in the business and he owns his style. Nuff said..

What business? Rock/shred?

WOW! I didn't think that there were so many yahoo rookies here anymore.

Didn't mean to shit in your Cheerios!!! Haha - wanks.

Now go and grab your shine boxes, get to work.

What, did Yngwie rip your Daddy off as well? Here's a tissue.

I always liked Becker but damm, his tone was the worst. And he took overplaying to the next level on some of his songs. I think the only time i heard him with a decent tone was on A Little Ain't Enough. All IMHO.

 

[nighttrain69]

Yngwie threads always deliver the goods

All I know is that he does his stuff with stock boosted marshalls and very low output pups which is a mother to play at leaast for me and....

He gets away with wearing pirate shirts which is the summit of rockstar cool in my book.

YJM basically started the whole Neoclassical thing so props be to him as an originator of a style.....and.....MAB is this mechanical no feeling beast on most of his stuff......I would take Rusty Cooley over him any day of the week.....then again Yngwie has plenty of feeling and that first Rising Force album is a classic.....

He popularized it but certainly did not start it. It took a huge helping of Blackmore and Uli Roth who had already done the ground work for it. Same with sweep picking arpeggios, listen to Chaplin and I off Uli Roth's Fire Wind, that's where he copped it. And Uli got it from Chet Atkins. As much as I dig Yngwie, lets not forget the guys that handed him the tools to do what he did/does...

yngwie came onto the scene at a perfect time. sorta made king eddie's monopoly obsolete regarding the new shreddy kid on the block mentality. y changed the game in 83 like eddie did in 78. just when you were starting to wrap your head around ed's solos, yngwie redefined what it meant to burn with technical precision.

put the exclamation point on classically influenced metal. such dramatic leads he forced you to take notice. blackmore was throwing temper tantrums in rainbow and generally blowing chunks playing lone ranger motivated solos, when yngwie hit him right in the moneymaker, stealing his persona and running circles around him with bach melodies at paganini pace.

uli was in another league than blackmore, and yngwie did uli note for note more in tribute of an idol, than beating ritchie at his own arrogant gunslinger game.

i think shawn lane and jason becker took it even further still technically, as well as guthrie, and paul, but none of them have the historical significance in guitardom like ed and yngwie have.

and between those two, ed is rock hall of fame material...not so much yngwie due to his less mass appeal musical genre.

MAB needs to cut his hair...seriously

 

[Jimmie]

It all started with Charlie Parker and others like him. Undoubetedly one of the greated musicians of all time. a lot of that creativity comes with slamming so much junk, but the legacy stands and his riffs provide so much talent for us all to copy and lay claim as our own greatness.

well said Ed, ULI and Ritchie are the pioneers ..Ritchie was the top session player in England at the ripe age of 16 in the early 60's an playing with cats like Jerry Lee Lewis, Tom Jones, Lord Sutch and many more. Jimmy Page and Beck were around there to, but technically, Ritchie could play anything at that time and was known for that. Uli is so god damn underrated its actually silly...the shit he was doing in the mid to late 70's was way ahead of anybody, even today!..EDDIE VAN HALEN KNOWS THIS. But what most of these threads focus on just the guitar playing aspect, there is so much more going on deeper with originality of composition/arrangements,etc that separates the pioneers with the imitators and pussies.

Alan Holdsworth is the king of orginality.

If MAB is Michael Angelo, all I have to say is way back in the day I took lessons with Paul, guitar teched for Malmsteen and did some shows opening for Michael Angelo, nobody touched Malmsteen. I love Paul but Malmsteen was definitive sounding. When Ygnwie came out he leveled the world of guitar and was the dude that toppled Eddie.

Spot on James. Yngwie took rock guitar to a quantum leap post Eddie and did it with Integrity without any Compromise...Yngwie is a perfect example of an American success story. He comes over to States from Sweden with a pair of jeans, a strat and vision/attitiude in 83'. He basically made Mike Varney and Shrapnel Records and started that whole scene. Wrote the entire Alcatrazz music from no parole less than a two week period since they had NO songs , then gets signed on Polydor to release his first solo album at the age of 20 years midst that tour in Japan 84. the rest is history and became a very wealthy and successful musician while all his imitators are not so. The man has balls and must have a wrote a good song or in betweeen all those millions of records sold worldwide.

This basically says it all! So now the OP can take his thread back.
