Rick Beato - The Yngwie Malmsteen Interview?

I don't see ten Marshall full-stacks...  That's must be an imposter! ?

I saw Yngwie once(only because George Lynch opened), and I walked out when he started his THIRD guitar solo. Ridiculous.

But it really seemed like his whole show was an exercise in soulless wanking. Fast can be great, but only with melody.

Never been a fan as his tone is grating and I can't comprehend that many notes.  That said between what I've been exposed to of both Yngwie and Lynch...Yngwie is dramatically more melodic.  He writes stuff you can hum, assuming you are a hummingbird of course.
