hey everyone, Yngwie has been on my radar for well over a year,, it feels good to finally get around to him & enjoy some talent on the guitar
Your groove, your insight, your enjoyment.... I thoroughly appreciated. Thank You 🤗.
Far Beyond The Sun has a section that is "call & answer" between the lead guitar and keyboard at that point where you asked how can he play that fast.
9:45 It's a keyboards🤘🏻
44:24 The first appearance of Yngwie was in "Alcatrazz". With Rainbow's vocalist Gram Bonnet in 1983. Another one vocalist from Rainbow was Turner in 1988
Actually he was in a band called Steeler formed by Ron Keel before Alcatraz.
Good pick Kira, this album melted everyone's face when it came out.
Yes it did.
first album i bought in my life, im still shocked 20 years later.
The next Album, Marching Out...is even better. Don't worry about the vocalist. He changes singers almost as often as he changes guitar strings. If you really want to see him at his most polished listed to the album Odyssey.
Agreed. First two albums are the most listenable (for me anyway) and Marching Out is the better if the two.
Which album does the song 'Rising Force' come from?
@@ajwasp that was off Odyssey.
@@jcbass2u thanks for your message, and answer. Yes I do remember now.
@@ajwasp The song Risisng Force still is one of my all time favorite album openners
Once back in like 1986 they played one of Malmsteens albums in full on the radio. The DJ remarked of Malmsteen. “I’ve got computers on my fingers “
Odyssey is another album of his thats worth checking out, a lot more vocal oriented songs and it’s pretty poppy in places but the songs and playing are killer
If you're going to be delving down the electric guitar virtuoso rabbit hole, you NEED to put Jason Becker's Perpetual Burn And Marty Friedman's Dragon's Kiss albums on the list.
AND Cacophony, Go Off! It has BOTH of these guitar slayers.
@@neilaslayer yeah but it's much less enjoyable for non-guitarists
Becker is OK. Friedman, yah nah. Both in Cacophony are worth a listen.
Better stuff to cueck out.

@@johnp.johnson1541You're just a weeb trying to show off a bunch Japanese guitarists that you know of. Becker and Friedman are incredible.
@@johnp.johnson1541What??? No Marcin!!!! How could you???😁🤘🎸🤘....
Spinal Tap once said (it was on the "Stars" video) that what they liked most about Yngwie J Malmsteen is the fact he has put the J in to make sure we can identify him from all other Yngwie Malmsteens!😂😂😂.I think it is pronounced "mam- steen"...
Oh and on this the drummer is the legend that is Barriemore Barlow ex of Jethro Tull!
No, you definitely pronounce the "l" in Malmsteen.
This is Malmsteen's debut album. And two things are at the forefront: 1) a commitment to the roots of classical music. 2) virtuosity. He is at the top level artistically, but the melodic approach is obsessive. Every song seems to go to extremes at some point. The journey with Malmsteen requires dedication. And if you watch him live, it gets harder, because he makes you watch performances closer to the show part.
Amazing reaction! Rising Force , obra prima, masterpiece!
It was a lot of fun for me to listen to this album again in this format, and great to see that you enjoyed it! It was interesting to hear you say early on that it reminded you of the Scorpions, as one of Yngwie's big early influences was their guitarist, Uli Jon Roth. If you want to hear Yngwie go fully instrumental, he did an album called "Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra Op. 1 - Millennium", which is, as you might expect, him performing with an orchestra. I've had a look at your previous reactions and I'm definitely subscribing so I can go through them, there's some great stuff there! Yngwie was my favourite musician from 1988 until 2020 when I discovered a new band... if you're looking for something that's kind of the same, but different, I'd like to recommend a current band called Lovebites. They're five Japanese women, although all their lyrics are in English (albeit with quite a strong accent), and they play music that sounds a bit like a mashup of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Malmsteen and many more classic bands. If you want to do a full album, I'd suggest starting at the beginning with Awakening in the Abyss. If you want the full on shock factor of seeing five tiny women rock harder than most men (and I recommend that you do), check out their video of their song Holy War live from Tokyo in 2020. You probably won't believe your eyes or ears!
Malmsteen is way more fun when you watch him play than just listen to the album. Especially when you are not a guitarist
Watching your reaction to this reminds me one of the reasons I'm a guitarist ✨💫🤘🏼🎸
Yngwie J. Malmsteens Trilogy, please.
The solo duels you're hearing are between Yngwie and his keyboard player, Jens Johansson.
I was trying to find the quote, but they used to try and outdo each other, so it was a bit competitive between them haha. He currently plays in Stratovarius, and has done heaps of session work over the years for heaps of artists.
He also played in Dio and Rainbow.
What's amazing was that Yngwie J. Malmsteen was only 20 when he composed this debut album from Rising Force in 1984... Very few guitarists make an impression in their teens... Michael Schenker (Scorpions/ U.F.O./ M.S.G.) was one of them in the 70's... Yngwie J. Malmsteen was another in the 80's. He first made a name for himself in the early 80's w/ the band Steeler... In 1983, he joined the band Alcatrazz (feat. former Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet) and recorded their debut album "No parole from rock n' roll"... and was featured on the 1984 live album 'Live sentence'... He quit and was replaced briefly by guitarist Steve Vai.
Yngwie formed Rising Force w/ brothers Anders Johansson (drums) and Jens Johannson (keyboards)... and Jeff Scott Soto (lead vocals) ... the first album featured mostly instrumentals (w/ Barriemore Barlow on drums), but the 2nd album 'Marching out' (1985) had more vocals and was a bigger success, outselling the Alcatrazz albums. However, disagreements led to Soto being replaced by Mark Boals (vocals) who did the tour and the 3rd Yngwie album 'Trilogy'... Boals quit and Soto returned to tour, but a car accident in 1987 put Yngwie in a coma for a week... his manager took his earnings and bailed... and then his mom died from cancer.
Yngwie suffered nerve damage in the accident, but fought back to restore his guitar skills... In 1988, he hired former Rainbow singer Joe Lynn Turner for the 'Odyssey' album and it became his most successful record... a live album 'Live in Leningrad' was released in 1989.
The 90's marked the end of the 80's lead guitar phase... and Yngwie released a string of albums w/ various singers (Goran Edman, Mike Vescera, Mats Leven)... but could not recapture the 80's success.
This was the first CD I ever bought. I was 13 and had been learning guitar for one year.
This album changed the world for us.
There’s no underestimating the impact that Yngwie had on the guitar community in the mid 80s. Suddenly we all had to study classical guitar, buy Bach and Paganini albums, and practice 6 hours a day or we were garbage.
The time period is going unchecked in this review. NOBODY had done anything remotely like this at all in rock music at this point in time . The two or three songs with vocals made it even more weird , it should have been an instrumental guitar album. It sure raised the bar across the industry either way.
Yngwie is freakishly good at guitar and also at composition. So many guitar players have tried and failed to do the Yngwie thing since he hit the scene during the early 80s - myself included. Only a handful of players in the world can do it really well.
Yngwie was for electric guitar kind of like what Paganini was to the violin scene, i.e., they both took things to a whole new level. I was a kid back then and remember wondering how it was humanly possible to play guitar like that. I thought he must be cheating. Nope. He can do it for real.
I have tried for years to play this stuff. I can play most of Far Beyond The Sun and a few other things, but not as fast and not as smooth etc. It's so much work, kind of like being a world class athlete constantly preparing and getting yourself up to the highest levels. Slack off and it's back to square one. Lots of guitar players just give up, but there are not many shredders these days that do not have at least a little Yngwie influence.
Some of the ones who give up get butthurt and say stuff like Yngwie is all speed, but has no feel. As you heard yourself, there's lots of feel and emotion, i.e., the haters are full of it. I also think some folks just do not relate to it. People who like Yngwie's music also tend to like classical music.
Cheers from NZ. Yeah, Angus is still one of my fav guitar players.
Love your reactions to this!! At a time when Eddie Van Halen was THE guitar god, a friend of mine put this album on, and I was smitten straight away. Great to see someone else enjoying it.🙂
Icarus' Dream Op. 4 is my favorite song off of this album .. I just love it. Fantastic music, eloquently played.
Malmsteen has an immediately 100% recognizable sound and style. In the song "Stars" (sort of the "we are the world" of metal) when you have the guitarists doing their solos one after the other, as soon as Malmsteen comes in you can tell right away and he is the one that stands out among all of them.
The only person alive thats a legendary GUITARIST RIGHT NOW
What amazing reaction, you are great !!
It's fun watching your reaction to one of my favorite albums from back in the day.
You should check out Alcatrazz's album No Parole For Rock 'n' Roll. Yngwie on guitar and Graham Bonnet on vocals. Killer combo!
No on Bonnett. He was a pop singer from the early 1960s. At 37, he seemed lame to Yngwie's 19.
"How can less be more? More is more." - Yngwie
Nice one, have always loved this album, saw Yngwie on this tour at the Country Club in So Cal around '85, still have the mini flag/handkerchief of this album 🤘
If you're interested in going down the shred guitar virtuoso rabbithole, a good next step would be:
Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien
Steve Vai - Passion and Warfare, Alien Love Secrets
Cacophony (Jason Becker and Marty Friedman, before he joined Megadeth) - Speed Metal Symphony
Great reaction Gorgeous Kira
"I can't believe a dude is doing this!" That was the rest of the world's reaction to this album in 1984 too.
There are a lot of guitarists who can play like this nowadays, but at that time it was like hearing something from another planet.
Yeah, i remember it well being a Swedish teen then in the 80´s and guitar player from Stockholm as well like Yngwie (or should i say Yngve which is the original spelling before he "Americanized" it). He played way faster than i ever heard anyone else play at the time and after him there came a new generation of fast players but very few had the feel that Yngwie had
No one with the emotions of this guy!
@@vovindequasahiyeah, whoever says Yngwie has no emotion is deaf.
Hello, I first time watching you, and I adore you, Yngwie is my idol, your energy is good and your vibe is excellent, send you big hug and kiss from Serbia, his play neoclassic music, mix of classical and heavy metal, his with Stivie Vai and Joe Satriani best gitarist ever 🍀♥️🙏
Also keep in mind, Yngwie was not quite 21 when recorded this, which means he wrote these songs before 21 and knowing his demo work, wrote these sometime during the ages of 18 and 20.
It is from this LP where the genres of melodic metal and neoclassical shred arose. Thousands of metal bands owe Yngwie everything.
At 60, Yngwie is still playing, touring the USA right now, and perhaps plays smoother than ever.
Jens Johansson he's one of my favorite keyboardist
This is the best reaction video :)
As a lifelong guitar soloist I say do whatever you want to do and say whatever you want to say during the solo...
His live version of Evil Eye (when he was in Alcatrazz) is worth seeking out
Yngwie a Legend for eternity no doubt.
You should also check out Tony Mcalpine.
Malmsteen 👏👏👏🔥
He was 21 when he wrote and recorded this. He played all the bass on this album, also
F..king guitar natural born animal
Far beyond the sun best malmsteen song!
Next album is the best for me...Marching Out.
I agree!
I was very excited to see Yngwie the first time at 1986 Day on the Green. He put on an amazing show, even though he was fairly early in the day... right before local "up and comers" Metallica.
Yeah, it was a good day.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
Metallica are punk metal. The musicians were not good when they made it and made it big. Years of touring make them better than bar bands but the music is lame.
@johnp.johnson1541 Elton John disagrees. Granted that's an argument from authority (fallacy), but I think his opinion is valid on the subject of song writing.
Not all punk bands were devoid of musical talent, it just wasn't a requirement.
@@richpeltier9519 Elton John was a terrible singer and a bar room level piano player (notice, pianist was not used to describe him).
One had to be talented to be jacked on heroin and still play like this guy, who invented punk rock back in 1973 with his original band, the true godfather of punk.
ua-cam.com/video/n1j6m9edJwI/v-deo.html
Sex Pistols, The Clash, etc., all owe their existence to him.
These girls are way more talented than anything that ever came out of England:

It's so nice to listen and watch one of your videos, without cuts
Thank you for reacting TO THE GREATEST INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM OF ALL TIME❤
I really appreciate you reacting to this, my favorite guitarist from when i was just 13 going on 14 back in '84, you should check out Alcatrazz, the band he was in before this debut album....
Hi!! I really appreciate your reactions, I don't know if you already know but "Far beyond the sun" played with the Philarmonic of Japan is the most amazing version for this one. Hope you can react to this version. Very enjoyable to see young people like you recovering all this music. Keep going!!
Yes!!!!!
You really put a smile 😀 on my face the way you reacted to this!
I actually saw him play live when he opened for AC/DC
okay, megadeth, slayer, etc...that's all pretty run-of-the-mill metal. this is deep-dive material. you're turning into a proper metalhead.
Eh.....no
@@eddytorres1767 uh...yeah
my top 2 of all times best albums
Good Reaction.
Yngwie is a good guitar player. Also Aldo Nova album Fantasy. There is also Jeff Beck and Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien. I say the cover looks like Silver Surfer
Hello, Malmsteen is very good and I recommend a group from Argentina called Rata Blanca with the theme of the legend of the fairy and the magician. And you will discover the best rock
Jeff Scheetz - Pawn Shop
There great of guitar 🎸 ace freely to hear them live is best you should listen to in New York grove
One of the best keyboardists out there... Mr Jens Johansson... and his brother Anders on drums...
That was a dueling guitar v keyboard ... glad to see you enjoy this 80's watershed moment in heavy metal / guitar virtuosity.
Kira, hi. I don't know who you are. The YT algo recommended this vid.
Keep in mind Yngwie played all guitars and bass. Jens Johansson also from Sweden played bass. Th drummer though was Barriemore Barlow, a Brit, notably from the band Jethro Tull during the 1970s.
Yngwie, the paggannini under the electric guitar players. Vinnie Moore also a great neo-classical player, his first two albums Mind's Eye and Time Odysee, are amazing.The Album, Meltdown is more heavier. And Tony McAlpine, an amazing guitarist. But I believe Yngwie was the first guitarist who combined Classical Music into heavy metal. But listen to Shawn Lane, different kind of music, but he is from another planet.
Yngwie is a guitar legend and he's still going, recording and touring. You should see him live. It's fun and amazing.
Yngwie has lived most of his life in the USA. Check out some of the 1985 live concert footage. He plays a left handed stratocaster right handed in tribute to Jimi Hendrix. The frets on his guitar are scalloped. The first 3 albums are some of his best work. The Rising Force live concerts in the mid to late 80's are some of the best out there. I think he lives in Florida.
The keyboardist Jens Johansson has his band Stratovarius, and have released quite a few albums... He also played on Dio's 1990 album 'Lock up the wolves'.
A transcending album for guitar
Me encnatan tus reacciones y tus videos son muy entretenidos
You just heard the Master🙌
Great to hear reactions from a fellow Aussie!This was meant to be an instrumental ep as a side to his former band. But then he left it. Vocals prominently feature in nearly all his albums. His best vocalists IMHO were the operatic Mark Boals and the golden tonsils of Goran Edman
역사에 길이 남을만한 명작임.
I recommend you to watch yngwie do an orchestra in Japan. It’s amazing performance
Eclipse is my fave Album of yngwies. But he has at least four incredible albums
This is a long record but its the BEST ALBUM MUSICALLY OF ALL TIME....REALLY
This is a staple of neoclassical metal from the prodigy that Yngwie Malmsteen was..lAs great as Rising Force is, Marching Out is the best, more metal and most song oriented album by Malmsteen .For a full instrumental album experience from another 1980s guitar hero, check the excellent Vinnie Moore- Mind's Eye (1986), Joey Tafolla - Out Of The Sun (1987), Tony Macalpine -Maximum Security (1987), Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony ( not instrumental, but it features Marty Friedman and Jason Becker or anything by Aloha/Vixen/ Hawaii of Marty Friedman ).Also Impelliteri - Impelliteri ep (1987), Burning Starr (of the ex- Virgin Steele guitarist Jack Starr) - No Turning Back (1987), Fifth Angel - Fifth Angel (1986), Seventh Seal -Messengers Of Love (1990) ,Warlord -Deliver Us Ep (1983) and Cannons Of Destruction (1984) .
Must listen Guitar Instrumental albums :
Steve Vai
- Passion & Warfare
Joe Satriani
- Flying In A Blue Dream
Blues Saraceno
- Never Look Back
He did a really good cover of Aerosmiths "Dream On" together with Dio.
I have this entire "ALBUM", on "cassette"... uhhhh... do you know what EITHER is? JUST CURIOUS! :D
buy the cd;)
Malmsteen is a Blackmore Disciple, his style is purely based on Blackmore’s neo-classical leanings, but he plays it with the heart and delivery of a shredder, (which Blackmore never did) and again, like Blackmore, Malmsteen is also known to be extremely difficult to work with. He is a BRILLIANT guitarist, but he has the personality of a car wreck. Glad you liked though. I could easily listen to Malmsteen play all day.
Blackmore played it with soul and he is also a shredder if he wants to be
Bullshit, you're full of crap. Malmsteen's classical style is based purrely on Bach, Vivaldi and Paganini...Balckmore did next to nothing with calssical music in his own music. Blackmo'res influence on Malmsteen is on the way he presented himself on stage. That's it.
Blackmore was never a shredder, stop writtin shit. Plus, no one assossiates Blacmore with ''soul''. WTF is wrong with you?
@@jerrywoods4066I still love House Of Blue Light by Blackmore/Purple. Blackmore seemed to make composition look easy.
@@stickofbutter9733 underated album from purple
I found this tape at south melbourne markets for like 6 bucks when i was a teenager, and i've been practicing guitar all day every day ever since 😂
She looks like Lars Ulrich 😂🎉❤️, loved watching this, Yngwie is my nr1 👍🙂 try the albums eclipse and fire and ice.❤❤
Gee girl…you have 34K subscribers between the two channels! I miss the “Diver”; more subdued for old people like me😂 except when I pull out BS&T go down gambling! Proud of you!❤
13:13 YJM busted xD "Sails of Charon" vibes... that's why is familiar. Scorpions are one of his influences.
Back when this was new, my buddy, Paul [a great guitarist, RIP], issued a challenge to me: learn the bass part to Black Star. Sounds mellow, yet the two breaks are absolutely terrifying - but I learned it, and can still play it to this day.
Questo disco è Fantastico
If you want to hear a all instrumental album listen to Jason Becker perpetual burn he was only 18 when he made the album
Yngwie's favorite guitarist is Ritchie Blackmore and his favorite composer is Nicolo Paganini!
Influenced heavily by Uli Jon Roth as well
That last track sounds like its dee from blizzard of ozz. Nice Kira. Still looking for that country reaction video.😁
He is one of the greatest pioneers forever.
If you're into guitar instrumental music, then Colma and Population override by Buckethead is a must listen!
I love how into it you are on the "Far beyond the sun"... I Mean you can't fault the guy for writing catchy as hell shit and being an absolute machine of an guitarists while he's at it. He has influenced so many musicians (me included) that it's not even funny.
And I don't know anything about you before this, but I can TELL you're a musician. It just shines through from how you listen to the music and how you know the basic forms of classical music. Nice one!
Your ears were kissed by the Master's magnificent playing. His true greatness will be revealed to you as time goes on and your mind has the time it needs to process his glory. LOL.
Think that he was only 19 when he recorded this album!!!!
You got to listen to Marching Out now. That album is Kingly!
Kira, :), back in the late 80's , I IDOLIZED Malmsteen for his speed and scales. I slowly realized, "they're scales". Then I realized "they're scales, played quickly". Finally, I realized, fast scales do NOT translate to feeling, which MUSIC is in the end. The CLINCHER, was seeing a HUGE GROUP of INCREDIBLE guitarists on stage for a tribute, and Malmsteen basically INSISTED on SPECIAL treatment? 20 ABSOLUTELY ICONIC GUITARISTS ON THE SAME STAGE AT ONCE!!! PLAYING TOGETHER... then there's MALMSTEEN (I'm special). I threw out my t-shirt with his winged guitar logo on the spot. HE is SUCH a self-absorbed, (INSERT ANYTHING HERE). FAST means NOTHING.
Classical music can also be fast scales if you listen to Paganini or Chopin playing fast. Doesn’t mean there’s no feel, there definitely is 💀
I used to play "Black Star", now I play THROUGH one. I never knocked classical AT ALL!! I just knocked Yngwie himself because he's a pompous, arrogant, jackass.
Have y'all heard any of David T. Chastain or Jeff Scheetz albums? One can shred fast and play soulfully melodically at the same time. Yes, it can be done
My favorite guitarist’s are Yngwie and Joe Satriani. If you haven’t yet listen to Surfing with the Alien. Better yet watch both of them live, you’ll be amazed at their stage presence.
Ja asgarvar varje gång ja ser dej å på ett possitivt sett alltså 😊❤😂
Little late, but if you like instrumental, you might like Joe Satriani. Not metal really, I think, but maybe you'll enjoy it. I'd recommend Nighteen Eighty, Sahara, Ice 9, If I could fly and the most important one Surfing with the Alien
It's okay to talk during guitar solos...if you don't mind spending eternity in the bowels of Hell.
They called his style Neoclassical
Interesting side note, the drummer on these sessions was from Jethro Tull of all bands.
Icarus' Dream is amazing.
