Can anyone shed some light on a fantastic new gutarist that I recently heard?
This guy is fantastic and is destined to become a bright new talent of the
future. I recently bought his first of two albums he has out ( the title
escapes me now) and couldn't believe my ears. Where does he come from?
How long has he been playing? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

The band wasn't all that good but Malmsteen shined through. He's now gone solo but I haven't heard his album "Rising Force" yet, I presume that's the one you just bought. Musician or Guitar Player or one of those mags featured Yngwie on their cover along with a full feature interview a while back. Sorry I can't remember anything more then that except they were pretty high on him. After listening to him play I can see why. Joe Dakes AT&T Bell Laboratories Reading, PA rduxb!jmd

(It was either Ratt or Krokusor someone of that genre) He's only about 24 and I know if you look in back issues of Guitar Player or Guitar World magazines there are articles on him. -- Another wunnerful letter from the semi-intelligent rotting brain of: Paul Kirsch St. Joseph's University Philadelphia, Pa { astrovax | allegra | bpa | burdvax } !sjuvax!kirsch I'm outside right now...do you know where your children are ?

There is a short article on Yngwie in this month's SPIN magazine. As much as I enjoyed his performance, I almost wish I hadn't read the article. It sounded like the guy was really stuck on himself. This is not to take away from his stage shoe, however. It doesn't do much for his image. I mean, usually, heavy metal performers are partiers (sp), but this guy seemed like a recluse. Anyway, he's from Sweden, and he says he's been playing guitar since he was ten years old. I don't know much about his albums, except there are a couple. Also, the guy thinks Bach is the best. He says he doesn't listen to other bands, but was influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple when he was youger. If you get a chance to see him on his tour, and you like loud music, I suggest you go for it! But, beware, if AC/DC is playing with him, take some ear plugs. They fire off these cannons at the end of the show which are absolutely deafening. Oh, yeah - AC/DC was great too. They played a good mix of older and newer songs, and really had the crowd going! -- M.E.
