He was raised in a comfortable Swedish upper middle class household then hit it big as a guitarist when he was a teenager then moved to florida and bought a ferrari
no hes really not that interesting unless youre a guitar geek who likes talking about his picking technique and how he kind of created the neoclassical shred genre. hes honestly a drunk dumbass other than that
he's an absolute virtuoso and has put tens of thousands of hours into his craft, but he makes music no one actually wants to listen to for more than 30 seconds and has had 0 cultural impact.

sorry for slow response, if you're still itt it was because he had apparently been talking shit about motley crue in the music press and nikki sixx was a major butthole back in his heroin days

micks riffs are the only good thing about motley crue. vince cant sing worth a shit, the only reason hes even in that band is because women like how he looks. tommy is a mediocre drummer. and nikkis just a drugged out moron

maybe the first coupla' times. after all the averageheadbangers figured out that every song was the same thing only the hardcore admirers of his technique were left and you could see him at a jazz club or a dinner venue.
doesn't make him bad, just esoteric. sure he's not eating dog food in his dotage.
kek there will never be a film bio of this moron, only teenage boy guitar players care about dudes with solo guitar careers, and there's already a lot bigger kings in that genre than this dude. you would get a steve vai movie before this one, and what a surprise, steve vai's already been in a film playing guitar. there would be a satriani film before this as well. sorry not sorry

He deserves to be forgotten. Literally speedrunner of guitar.
his music is terrible. the only good thing about yngwie was his picking technique, its actually insane that he figured out how to play like that by himself. theres a series by troy grady on youtube called cracking the code that goes into detail full detail about how he plays like that. the most wild thing is that eric johnson and yngwie use the same exact picking technique, troy grady calls it pick slanting. if youre a guitar nerd go watch that, it completely changed my picking overnight
I wouldn't call it terrible. Just boring. And that's the problem with many of these technically good artists. They can play their instruments well, but they can't create interesting music.
My bass teacher was a guitar player (90s music store lessons) and had one of the scalloped fretboard Yngwie Fenders. He had me learn the bass part to one Yngwie song, so we could play it together. I shut that shit down afterwards, since I was paying for the time. Now, I really like [Luca Turilli’s] Rhapsody [of Fire] and remember my bass teacher fondly.
He's such a massive butthole, he's such a clown artistically now, he has been incredibly boring for decades... but I can't help but go on bingers where I love him. Yngwie before the car accident is one of the absolute peaks of guitar. Not just for speed -- his songwriting, tone, bends, style, and live performances are just something else. After the car accident I'd say that Eclipse is a great album too, the singer sucked live but he was great on the record. I wish Yngwie had been able to keep a consistent band together and really grow artistically.
Yngwie has had the honor of standing at the top of the mountain all by myself for a brief moment in time. Very few others can claim that, and honestly I don't think anyone ever will again.
>>When this whole grunge thing came, it was so pathetic like, a rock star who'd shaved his head, wore pants that are ten sizes too big, an old...an old shirt as well as a sock on his head. Like, what was that about? It's like the opposite of what I think...I mean if I was a fan, or if I was someone who was into rock...then I want to see a guy on stage who is bigger than life. He has clothes that I can't buy. He has stuff that I can't have. He does stuff that I can't do
nicolas cage is the only one who could pull off yngwie's levels of smug and buttholery
scratch that, make it Jim Carrey going full method like with Man on the Moon
Idris Elba voiced by Chris Pratt
>he doesn't like donuts
but likes everything else it seems
>those groupies in the lift looked underage...
Is his life even interesting compared to other rockstars. Most normies who have ever heard of him just thinks hes a legit moron yuro that can shred.

better make a Schuldiner biopic
Paul Sorvino if he was alive.
Why is he such a bitter butthole?
he's an absolute virtuoso and has put tens of thousands of hours into his craft, but he makes music no one actually wants to listen to for more than 30 seconds and has had 0 cultural impact.
u couldn't be more wrong, he was top 1 world guitarist for a while and tour with the top 3 when rock and metal were alive, filled stadiums and shit
>and tour with the top 3 when rock and metal were alive, filled stadiums and shit
What the shit are you talking about? Who are the "top 3"?
The guys who filled the stadiums.

He's great when he's in a band. The issue is his solo work is all pretentious masturbation.
he's really calmed down a lot, as he's gotten older you can really tell he's trying to be friendlier
Unironically that israelite from the new DUNE movie

not even remotely true
It is. He's beat out by every other neoclassical player that can form a basic interesting melodic pattern. His phrasing is dogshit.
DOUGHNUTS
Comfy picnic Yngwie

A little know fact about the Swedish people, they always have instruments at the dinner table.
If you don't bring one, you don't get to eat.

seriously incredible if you are into this sort of nonsense
The songs are actually great when he's reigned in by a singer. His full solo stuff is impossible to listen to.

Blessed morons.
>Ygnwie threads
>Van halen threads
its like my dad discovered Cinemaphile
for me it's frank gambale
saw him play live from a few feet away. AMA.
I like Yngwie and his music. I think he's probably on the spectrum though.
My bass teacher was a guitar player (90s music store lessons) and had one of the scalloped fretboard Yngwie Fenders. He had me learn the bass part to one Yngwie song, so we could play it together. I shut that shit down afterwards, since I was paying for the time. Now, I really like [Luca Turilli’s] Rhapsody [of Fire] and remember my bass teacher fondly.
Anyone else remember this? Used to be a breddy popular video back in ye olde days of the interweb.

far beyond the sun is actually pretty easy compared to most of his other stuff
Jenna Ortega
>muh speed
Guy's alright but he's no Roy Clark or Mark Knopfler.
Could be kino if it was like a parody, like part through the eyes of yngwie with his ego, and part with reality.
Whats this guys name again? Anyway, cast him.
Doormat darnell
Dumbell Daffy
Benny could pull it off
Douchebag Dumbbell
he's a big guy
How do you even pronounce his name? Is it Yen-gee? Yin-zhee? Yen_Gwee? In-Juey?
ing vay..sort of like oy vey

He's such a massive butthole, he's such a clown artistically now, he has been incredibly boring for decades... but I can't help but go on bingers where I love him. Yngwie before the car accident is one of the absolute peaks of guitar. Not just for speed -- his songwriting, tone, bends, style, and live performances are just something else.

i knew he was based because he made guitar guys mad
