Yngwie Johann Malmsteen-
Swedish Guitarist, gained inspiration from Jimi Hendrix whilst watching a TV programme on his death... not by listening to him!!!
He also became inspired by classical baroque music, mainly bach, and a violinist named Niccolo Paganini. He Mainly uses Harmonic Minor and Phyrigean modes and plays in the key of E flat minor, using his scalloped Fender Strat, through his personalised Overdrive pedal, into a (stupidly big) marshall stack.
Has a son named Antonio Yngwie Johann Malmsteen. Wife named April Malmsteen.
As some one before me has mentioned, Yngwie rips an extra asshole into those other so called "virtuosos" who think they are better.... Even if he is a cunt in person.

A guitarist who should be recognized for his speed and technical ability, not his ability to write music.

Guitarist from Sweden who writes Arpeggios FROM HELL. He doesn't need a real band or even a vocalist, just a drum machine, a bassist, and arpeggios, all FROM HELL.

A seemingly worthless (At least today) neo classical guiarist. He is known for popularizing neo classical metal. He was one of the first guitarists (Along with randy rhoads and others) to use very exotic scales and borque classical influences in his composition. About 95% of his stuff is mindless shredding, but his groundbreaking Rising Force album is full of classics!
Yngwie Malmsteen is fat... He doesnt even do anything... He just sits around and eats cheesecakes all day.
