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.

Swedish guitarist and COMPOSER who is literally light years ahead of all the dumbed-down, power-chord limited MORONS out there and in here, who have not the intelligence or SOUL to recognize the Yngwie writes the greatest pieces and songs, so far superior to their little gimmick-laden tin gods, Vai and Satch, that their pathetic little minds can't wrap around even a fraction of the genius. And that he plays with INFINITELY more feeling and emotion, despite the vastly superior speed and technique - these morons think that effort and strain = emotion. They have not a clue about classical music and virtuosity.
So they say he sucks and his music is masturbation. Easy cop out for a bunch of talentless, brainless little worms!

Ritchie Blackmore + Jimi Hendrix + Allan Holdsworth + Al DiMeola + Paganini + Bach + Van Halen + Mozart + Uli Roth + Django Reinhart = some of Yngwie Malmsteen....
