I was 20 when this came out . I rocked out to this in my 87 iroc Camaro . The sweet mullet is gone but I still have this cassette and the Camaro. Rock on !
One of the greatest albums most people have never heard of.... Deja Vu, Crystal Ball, Rising Force.... what an album! Cheese, 80s glam, whatever, but such a fun album at the time. For something completely different: Aaj (pronounced Ah-j) by the Indian metal band Bloodywood - subtitles on . . . and when is the last Nightwish album being reacted to? Interested in your opinion. Love the content. Happy and a peaceful New Year.
Ah, the eighties hair bands. Sometimes the music was great, but the lyrics were generally teen angst pap. I loved the look on Crissy's face, sissy rock is the perfect term for this. Stay safe, God Bless, keep rocking.
Great music & guitar playing, great reaction/discussion. P.S. Happy New Year & sorry to be a bit late but I was unable to use YT for a few days. P.S.S. Not a big fan of sissy rock either.
When Yngwy still cared about the music and let real singers do the job shining the song and not only his arpeggio’s like hese days. Saw him lastyear in The Netherlands. He is a virtuoso UT he mad such damn good songs but his singing fucks them up and most of them he can’t sing thus not playing them…eternal shame….
Saw Yngwie on his first Rising Force opening for AC/DC. Tore my head clean off. He threw his guitar in the air high as hell and missed the catch. I’ll remember that show forever. Also, he doesn’t like donuts. Just don’t even offer.
😄Sissy rock, haha. That's my problem with the old-school rock-n-roll and blues. Some incredible guitarists and good singers, but it's hard to take them seriously. I prefer much more serious music - something like this: ua-cam.com/video/9xi4O4RvlnQ/v-deo.html 🤣🤪 Maybe we should introduce our friends to her one day.

Problem with Malmsteen is, he wasn't gifted in 'song' writing. As with so many other guitarists the masses have never known. Gifted guitarists in 'playing' and 'song' writing: - Eric Clapton(Cream and solo) - Jimi Hendrix(majority of the songs on first album could've been radio hits) - Eddie van Halen (could 'play' & 'write' great songs) - Randy Rhoads??? ...hmm... if he didn't get the lucky chance of being picked up by a famous name such as Ozzy Osbourne ...most likely would've been 'Randy who' ??? Such as Uli jon Roth, Michael Schenker, etc. ..great guitarists, but didn't have the song writing at the time in the bands they were with. You can be the greatest guitarist on Earth, but without the talent of writing great songs, likely to be never known(unless someone else in band has that talent or big name) Btw, I used to own the candy apple red version of the Malmsteen sig Strat in 2011, which you see VERY briefly in this series of slapped together clips. Cool guitar, scalloped fretboard and all. That brass nut was weird though, just looked outta place! Loved the late '60s/ 70s big headstock though! ...but really wanted his main cream colored Strat!
No doubt Blackmore was a huge influence on Yngwie. The first album he bought was Deep Purple's Fireball. But with that said I don't hear Blackmore's licks when I listen to Heaven Tonight, Far Beyond the Sun, I'll See the Light Tonight, Rising Force, Seventh Sign, Disciples of Hell, Demon Driver, Trilogy Suite etc... Yngwie has a distinct style. The way I look at it is Blackmore is mostly blues with a touch of classical, whereas Yngwie is mostly classical with a touch of blues. They are similar in some ways, yet very different. Both are great, and both are forever linked. Yngwie took what players like Uli Jon Roth and Blackmore started and brought it to a different level.
I was in my twenties in the 80s. And I loved the glam metal scene. It's been around for more than you guys think. It started in the early '70s with bands like New York Dolls and T-Rex. And probably the biggest one was Ziggy stardust better known as David Bowie. And there's more and it went all the way to the early 90s that's 20 years right there. Plus even now they're still bands like crazy licks reckless Love crash diet. He'll never go away so that's still in my wheelhouse plus you were bands from Europe and Japan. I'm back in the day calling it here could get you in a load of trouble. I still don't like it being called that cancel it's probably going pretty strong for 40 years there are a lot of Glam bands still in the United States too. Just saying
@@timlister180 I still love those bands and I guess it was 50 years not 40 they're still around. Cuz it was like 72 when I was listening to like New York Dolls and T-Rex all. And look at all the '80s bands that are still performing but whatever. That's why I do look for a lot of new bands. I could send you tons of hands to check out but I don't know a lot of Americans don't listen to a lot of European and Japanese music. But I love your channel
![Yngwie Malmsteen - Black Star (Live) | [Reaction!!]](/img/n.gif)
Odyssey is pure gold from start to finish, not a bad track on the album.
Yes from the days you could put a record on and listen to the whole thing .
I was 20 when this came out . I rocked out to this in my 87 iroc Camaro . The sweet mullet is gone but I still have this cassette and the Camaro. Rock on !
I seen this tour, Lita Ford opened. Great show! I’ve seen Yngwie several times and it never gets old.🍻
Epitomizes so much of what we were listening to in college in the 80s.
Yes way back in the day
MTV days, wish I'd seen them live, awesome cool song yay 🤘😆🤘🎸🎸🎤🥁🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
next like an angel from yngwie this next level and full soul on guitars

I hope soon, we need to NIGHTWISH😀❤️. DEFINITELY MY FAV...
It was fun to see this, haven't seen it for ages, but its almost impossible to listen to it twice.
You guys NEED to check out "Making Love" and "Bedroom Eyes" from his ECLIPSE album.... Shyza!!
hey tnks from brazil malmsteen domain
Welcome!
Ah, the eighties hair bands. Sometimes the music was great, but the lyrics were generally teen angst pap. I loved the look on Crissy's face, sissy rock is the perfect term for this. Stay safe, God Bless, keep rocking.
😆 lol
i like triumph hold the line if we talking old songs
Go megadog. Always one of my favorite. Thanks for watching. Animal.
Odyssey is a top 10 greatest heavy metal album and should be in every headbangers collection.
Great reaction - I haven't seen any " Poodle Rock " in ages !
Glad you enjoyed it
05:20 ❤️❤️❤️
I got lucky long ago with this being one of the songs playing...can't lie, it was better than the sex
The best stuff he did was in the 80’s and sadly, I don’t think he will go back to making those kind of songs!
Rising Force is his best and one of the best records ever made. He can coast off that forever with me.
@@friedrudibega6384 It’s still amazing every time I listen to that album absolute classic
great album and tour. wish joe lynn turner lasted a few more albums..
Another great musician! Might want to check this one too: Yngwie Malmsteen - Black Star ua-cam.com/video/dmFzT_BtVLk/v-deo.html
Yep. And here he is, 18 years old. ua-cam.com/video/cmuMRPi-f8I/v-deo.html
Great music & guitar playing, great reaction/discussion.
P.S. Happy New Year & sorry to be a bit late but I was unable to use YT for a few days.

Loving it.
I agree. Know what you mean, Tarmo
Happy 😊 New Year 😀😎🙃🙂💜

Black star next?

They weren't holding back with the 80's cheesy moves and poses on this one, that's for sure.
I agree with Crissy, “ sissy” rock. Too girly for my liking. But I gave it a like 👍 to support your channel.

They picked one of the cheesiest of all of his songs. Check out the instrumentals.
Yngwie hates this song and this record
He was always just a Ritchie Blackmore wanna be, so arrogant, and very cheesy.
No doubt Blackmore was a huge influence on Yngwie. The first album he bought was Deep Purple's Fireball.

The way I look at it is Blackmore is mostly blues with a touch of classical, whereas Yngwie is mostly classical with a touch of blues. They are similar in some ways, yet very different. Both are great, and both are forever linked. Yngwie took what players like Uli Jon Roth and Blackmore started and brought it to a different level.
