I have these glow in the dark alphabet fridge magnets and my fiance once wrote "Yngwie sucks!" on the fridge. Of course I unleashed the fury and he soon changed it to "Yngwie rocks!"

LOL!! The only time I get to listen to him is in my car when Im alone or home alone. Strangly enought she likes seeing him live though. She respects his talent, but thinks he lacks in the lyrics department and doesnt have that overall Band feel. Sometimes I agree, but then shake myself out of it!

lol. My Yngwie CDs aren't allowed in the player stack, where you can just listen to one album after another without having to change them. And I have to listen with headphones when Steve's about. He just plain hates Yngwie -- his music, his personality, everything. I don't understand it.

It is exactly that. That's why he wouldn't go to my 6th form concert -- because we played too well for him to feel comfortable in that environment (although the excuse he gave was that he didn't want to dress up and the concert was too posh, but I can see through these excuses because I've heard it so many times).

He just plain hates Yngwie -- his music, his personality, everything. I don't understand it. I'm lucky that my wife loves Yngwie almost as much as I do. Although she is probably a little more objective when listening to him than I am. Some of the really corny songs he has written she will ask me to forward past where I can deal with them but I can live with that. I remember the first time I played him for her she said "Wow! How come everybody doesn't like this guy. I don't understand how you can not appreciate how beautiful his playing is." She loves to hear me play his stuff to. I have a 50 watt Marshall amp in my living room next to the stereo and I couldn't be happier. ;D |

My babe likes Yngwies soft songs (Brothers, Guardian Angel, Sorrow et.c) She hates him otherwise. She says the Yngwie thinks hes all that (well aint he?).

My inspiration to be a musician of any sort came in the form of Elvis Presley. I was six in 1973 and saw the Live via Satelite Hawaii concert where he introduced the now famous eagle jump suit. James Burton played for him at that point, and the show was fantastic!!
Later inspiration came in 1977 when I was introduced to Ace Frehley of Kiss. Elvis made me want to sing, but Ace made me want to play!
The next few years saw schoolmates chide me about my listening tastes, especially with Disco in full swing and me still listening to the King and Kiss. "Ace Frehley sucks", was said to me many times, especially by high school when everybody loved Van Halen.
Then one day, I showed up as school with my tape player and a tape of a record I purchased the night before. John, a guitar player who frequently dissed the Ace and was a huge Van Halen fan came to the lunch table when he heard my tape. His jaw hit the floor, saying "Nobody is THAT good!!" He was shocked and awed. It was 1984, and he thought that 'Jump' and 'Panama' were the hottest thing going, but when he heard my tape, he asked, "Who is that? He's a god!" I disagreed with him on the divinity statement and told him that he was listening to Yngwie J. Malmsteen. I couldn't even say the name correctly. I'd seen the album, Rising Force, with the guitar held aloft above the flames on a black field and purchassed it. It was showcased at the front of the store as an employee pick. That album, and all of the subsequent ones thereafter, made me want to play really good.

My music inspirations are:
Danny Elfman

Something like that anyways. I would like to be a style that combined all those guys.

Is "Genesis" worth listening to? Yngwie said his sister used to give him Genesis records
