Odyssey is Yngwies peak

[Techdeth]

Of course he plays out of this world well even after the accident too!

I’m listening to all his albums in order . I do think think fire and ice is bad ass straight through

I saw Yngwie live last year for the first time and he was killin' it. The soloing, etc. gets a bit much after an hour or so but still was great.

My favorite part of that show was actually seeing Glenn Hughes as the opener doing Deep Purple songs. Has to be one of my favorite shows i've seen.

1988 . Was this where he peaked ? Was this his prime ?

Odyssey is my overall favorite album start to finish by yngwie. But alot of my favorite songs are on the earlier albums. I still need to learn the rest of now your ships are burned from his first album.

I play the chug riff that starts at about 1:30 on krakatau almost every time I pick up a strat with a gainy amp lol. That and I'll see the light tonight main riff from marching out.

Let's not forget Seventh Sign also has some bangers and the production sounds big. I always liked that even though Vescera's vocals could grate on the ears. Would have liked another vocalist but the songs hold up and have great energy.

He also writes good ballads for a guy who has been married 3 times lol

I think Vescera is a great vocalist

I think one of the best things we should have all done in this thread and many others is to say what year we discovered the artist and what was the first album of theirs we ever heard.

For me it was 1984 and the Alcatrazz studio album.

 

[Rackman]

Hearing the Alcatraz Live album.

If you can get past the horrible production and Graham's hit or miss vocals that was a firebreather.

 

[mentoneman]

even though i bought everything from steeler to odyssey i didn’t listen to or care for his stuff past trilogy.

 

[mentoneman]

1987 my guitar teacher told me to buy Yngwie, so I bought Trilogy. He told me, no, you need to buy Rising Force, so I bought that a few weeks later. My friend copied Alcatrazz Live Sentence for me a month later. I found Steeler in a record store maybe a month after, and marching out a month later. In short, from having zero Yngwie to all was around 3 months in 1987. He instantly became my #1 and I worshipped the ground he walked on.

For me it was Rising Force, then Marching Out, then back tracked to Steeler and Alcatrazz. If I remember correctly, Rising Force was only available as an import upon its initial release. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that.

I first saw Yngwie when he was in Steeler at the Pomona Valley Auditorium in the Fall1983, I think? Then got the Steeler album. It was jaw-dropping and crazy! Made me go back to the woodshed for sure....

I later got the Rising Force and Alcatrazz albums....

I loved his playing, but I wish he would have branched out musically like Tony MacAlpine and others...
