Odyssey is Yngwies peak

[Chubtone]

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.

I think Vescera is a great vocalist

Me too

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...

88- 92 I think he branched out a lot . Just never got the hit

No I think he peaked as a player on fire and ice

I’m listening to all in order . I do think it’s his peak now . The production is his best and his playing is killer . I guess because teaser was gay in my head I was thinking the album was all poppy . Relistened . I guess I have to say you were right

Yep. He came back after the accident meaner than ever. He just didn't have the same mainstream success

True.. Ratt's first albums is weak, Too Fast for Love sort of " cool" but the Scorps were bringing it and Schenker def was with MSG. Dio era Rainbow too I think no? There was some great stuff out. But you are right, Steelers wasnt drastically worse than a lot of what their peers put out.

Yngwie does write a lot of simple dumb riffs at times . It’s weird given his skill set . Steeler riffs are generic af

Steeler was written and played by Ron. Yngwie only played the solos and a few selected parts (the intro to No way out, as an example).
