Fantastic YJM! I can’t believe this track is nearly 40 years old!!

yeah man! I thought the same haha. Great lesson for us, I love this track since when I listen some 20 years ago!

Why would he not have speed? Because he’s older? And he’s really not that creative. Same scales and modes since the early 80s.

Three? I saw him with Satch and Vai on a g3 tour.

[@psychonautpupildiallater7734]

I seen him in a small club in Detroit called St. Andrews Hall in 1985. The opening band was a band called Talas.
Might of heard of their bass player? Billy Sheehan? I also seen the DP Perfect Strangers tour when it came through Detroit. Great show as well, but I was dazzled at the St. Andrews show.

[@reddsshaker3477]

What a phenomenal musician. I had the privilege of seeing him live in the late ‘80s, with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals. Just amazing.

[@churchofcreation8888]

What's amazing to me is I've seen yngwie play Blackstar a bunch of times and it's always different with his improving pure genius

[@finnmacdiarmid3250]

This is the best iteration, or rather just favorite out of them all I have to say. That transition from nylon to electric gave me goosebumps

[@quads5341]

Awesome video, thanks. I just saw him on November 26 in NH. Mind blowing. He was in really top form. I was in the 2nd row but no video recording was permitted.

[@NatureofCircuitry]

Damn man that was like if you closed your eyes 1980's Yngwie. Looking great too and sounding fanfukingtastic!

[@WatchRayPlay]

billionth different arrangement for this song tho, im not sure he remembers how it totally goes and just hits the iconic licks from time to time

[@WatchRayPlay]

@@daviclar867 Meaning you have to listen to every time he plays one if you want to hear extra special licks. There is also a library of little familiar licks and tricks he brings out in different songs, borderline repetitive when you zoom out, but as a guitar player myself, I understand that sometimes you're just connecting licks and riffs together

[@MelissaM-lo5hi]

I think he remembers. But if he does have a few foggy moments. He’s entitled.. He knows how to slice it all together. He’s a God within the master of HIS own craft. A true artisan of the craft. Love it!

[@johnryan527]

Yeah. And I'm fkn fine with. It I. Do go to CD. Boucoux. Thou. , love. This Soond. Like to play. With. It his. Tablet tree. Is. Phones. Book. Thik also

[@anira794]

Just like Buckethead they never play the song same with studio version. In every live performance they are meant to play their songs differently and thats improv, Yngwie didn't forgot how to play the song he just want to do it differently.

[@ThePerkins100]

It's called improvising, Yngwie allways plays slighty different on vast majority of he's songs, not only because he can but makes it more fresh to for the audience.
I have seen and heard bands play songs note for note, on a few shows, bit predicted

[@fsrsaa]

He was a formative figure for me. His impact on me was huge. Beautiful playing. Precise but passionate!

[@Malte-Micha]

Malmsteen was in a short lived band called Steeler with Ron Keel from Keel, Rik Fox ex W.A S P. original bassist. 1 album releasen in 1983 still in print!!!

If you wanna talk about burning up the fretboard, check Shawn Lane, Guthrie Govan, Jeff Loomis, Paul Wardingham, John Petrucci, and Andy James. And the fastest by far is Roy Marchbank. He is so fast that it almost seems humanly impossible.

After billions and billions of hours of playing and practicing at that speed for over 40 years, how is it possible that his hands, tendons and arms are not totally broken? This guy must be made of steel.

[@rushshukla4636]

Whether you like him or not he is a pioneer of shred guitar. The guitar world can be divided into BY - Before Yngwie and AY - After Yngwie. He revolutionized rock guitar and brought it out of the blues straight jacket it was in. Along with Jimi and Holdsworth he created the template by which all.others followed. I remember buying Rising Force in 1984 and being in awe of this neo classical approach to rock. No one else was doing it so completely like him. Now every guitarist out there is doing it. It's almost lost its meaning. That's why I go back to the pioneers.

I'm from Des Plaines I can't think of any place that would hold a Malmsteen concert.

[@onemoremisfit]

Yngwie is one who can make me shut up and listen with an acoustic guitar, if ya know what I mean. I wonder why no stage lighting? That annoying-to-breathe stage fog is only useful coupled with lighting effects, otherwise it's just air pollution. He had to move around to find a sweet spot for the look-at-the-watch feedback sustain in that gymnasium sounding room. I don't know if this was just an opener, but after 40 plus years Yngwie still has the musicianship, skill and delivery to strike fear in any guitar player who must follow his act.

[@iggyfritz7150]

One thing I've noticed; that the past 20 to 30 years a lot of people have turned music instead of a pleasure into a competition.
With that being said as a musician myself friendly competition is good as far as your skills on your instrument the the competition I'm speaking of is people back and forth all the time. " well so and so is better than so and so" or "so and so sucks and so is the greatest" we all have different tastes which in my opinion makes music so great every guitarist drummer musicians bring something different to the table in all music. If everybody played the same as one person, talk about boring which brings me to my point some of the comments here about Yngwie who by the way whether you like it or not is a very talented virtuoso so comments like Guthrie govern or Shaw Lane might have something to say about it, or this s*** is boring he doesn't have any songs to back up as playing are some really ignorant comments Yngwie has been at this a lot longer than most of you have been alive and he is sold many albums also sold out many venues around the world. And this constant crap about shredding oh my God instead of focusing on nothing but fretboard gymnastics how about learning how to write a song. Doesn't anybody understand the definition of shredding is to destroy? Which brings me to my point Yngwie is a true musician he didn't start playing the guitar by going online and having thousands of people show him how to shred and focus on nothing but that. A great example of what I'm trying to get across here before you make ignorant comments if you don't like what a person is doing don't listen to it or don't go to their concert it's that simple if you don't like Yingwie
