  1. Debating Yngwie J. Malmsteen

    in Music Polls and "Best of" Lists

    Posted

    i'd love to know who are the 2nd rate musicians....except ripper i don't know anybody else.... :tumbsup: leven was one till yngwie made him great....

     

     

    also yngwie has the best guitars, had and has the best women, has great shirts and leather pants, plays great tennis for a not professional tennis player and read more books than anybody else around and he's the only one that can compose pure pieces of classical music with some voltage of electricity....i could argue that he has also the best cars but i'm not a ferrari maniac.... :tumbsup:

    First off I am a HUGE Fan of his so I'm not ripping on him, I'm merely saying

    he doesn't seem to keep people in his band very long, and as a result relies

    on musicians he would normally NOT use at all. His line up changes for

    practically every album release/tour etc..

     

     

    my friend, i respect your opinions and definately you have the right to have your own opinion, no matter if i agree or disagree etc etc etc. so you don't have to tell me if you love or don't love maestro and his music. he's the one that pays the musicians. so he can do what ever he likes. why don't you write the same for purple or rainbow etc even maiden-the whole london's music scene came to their rehearsal room in their early stage....

     

    boals may say whatever he wants, that yngwie didn't want him to write vox melodies or lyrics etc etc but yet when lande left, he replied immidiately to his call and came with him in greece for a show that yngwie was paid in advance(how selfish of him to make that show from the moment he got the money without any terms in the contract for a cancellation- yngwie rarely cancells shows)....also randy coven responded(and that night came with 2 extra terrestial bass songs, not only solos etc...how selfish of yngwie to let him show off!)....and that night in another explosive demostration of yngwie's ego boals did the whole nessun dorma(yeah, i know kinda lame these days)....in general they may say and write whatever they want but i'm sure they're in that bank closets they day after they get their royalties' checks from their appearance in maestro's works.....

     

     

    let alone the countless contributions from yngwie to their other musical endeavors....if ya need examples just let me know and i'll write some...and the common factor to all of them is the sticker in the cover, for example " solo on track 4 for by yngwie"....what an ego celebration is that......only one solo and yet a sticker on the cover.....

     

     

    the other day, leven, asked me $100 for a demotape he had with his first band....ya know, he's an ex yngwie singer now.....

    Yngwie Is a Major Talent...He took Blackmore's Look and Rhythm style

    and added Uli Jon Roth's Solo style to it then made it his own. He has

    an amazing sense and feel for Classical Music and he's got his own sound.

    His technique is flawless and he has an incredible command over the guitar,

    Sure others had touched upon Classical Metal before, but he took it farther

    than anyone and really made it is HIS style. Others are pretenders to that style.

    He is a MAJOR influence on me and Many Guitar players...I'm a huge fan of his..

    Having said all that, He has become a Parody of himself as far as song writing. Yngwie

    has the Michael Schenker syndrome, Great Player who surrounds himself

    with second rate Musicians and Songs ( the latter as of late). When He guests on other's projects as he did on Derek Sherinian 's Black Utopia release, he is challenged with

    playing over tracks that venture far outside of his strictly Baroque style, and comes up with Outstanding stuff!! He really needs the support of TOP musicians Who Have their own style and are able to inject their ideas in the music as well as his. Since he writes all the music and most of the lyrics, melodies, he ends up repeating himself which is not a bad thing when it's Good, but can really suck in the material is average. If he is going to stay in his style, then I'd like to see him do something with Ronnie James Dio, Derek Sherinian, Bob Daisley Tommy Aldridge...Yes it would a Souped Up version of Rainbow, but I think the Music would probably be really good. The Thing is that egos (his) would come into play and would probably kill any sort of thing they were doing. Okay that will probably be my longest post for this year!! LOL

    the first was a great baby. the 2nd was prog for the sake of prog, just putting together different parts for me, without a beginning or an end....and i didn't get yet the 3rd one.....if you're looking for great greek prog metal check also black fate, first breaking silence(if i recall right this baby was released from the mekka of prog stuff, WMMS), even uthul-although not your usual prog stuff....i'm sucker for kostas domenikiotis' bass playing(hugely influenced by marcel jacob)....

  15. CD's you got rid of and wished you hadn't

    in Dumpster Diving

    Posted

    Axcel - Incorporated... cos I've never been able to find another :(

    I had that one too. In fact, I've had a lot of rare Aussie indies which I would like to have now, but purely for trade. :lol: At the time, though, I got good trades for them anyway. So all is well.

     

    I'm cool with all the CDs I've got rid of except one:

     

    Mason - 'Inside your head' ; sold that last year with the complete wrong impression of what it sounded like. When I heard it just before I sent it off I was kicking myself in the nuts.

     

    I also traded Dare's 'Blood from stone'. It was a really good trade at the time and I thought I'd find it again, but I never have. :( A disc I really love, so I hope I get it again one day - even the re-issue.

     

     

    i sent today a mason cd, i think the first one, to mr. backster :whistle: i don't remember what i did with "inside your head". i wished i would be helpful.....

    ahahaha, they changed their sound like feline melinda. i used to meet their guitarist through a common friend when he was visiting greece. their lp is one of my favorite but i don't like the instrumental cd of their guitarist....neither the samples....

     

     

    edit: wow, they made it to US like astaroth,ahahaha. both changed to worse after visiting US....

  23. What CDs did you buy this week?

    a couple of vinyls this time after a nicely trade

     

     

    metalwolf-down to the wire

    malibu barbi-rude girls

     

     

     

    tons of cds, way too many to mention. i bought 15 from a japo friend of mine, who was selling a part of his huge collection, some doubles like atsushi yokozeki(this time with obi+postcard +poster), kuni-looking for action(this time with all the goodies, nice replacing for my olde cd copy, although it was signed by the sexiest drummer in the world-mike terrana, the last time i've seen him in my places), babylon, fortbragg, defyer etc etc. the most expensive of them was yngwie's boot-miami vice with THE VOICE for $40....

     

     

    and thanx to mr. terry for his info, at last a sealed vinyl copy of mistrust's-spin the world is coming towards my home. i'll do my best not to shout and run naked towards the nearest hill outside my office, when the postman comes with it.

     

    also 3 sealed VINYL copies of rammpage's-debut ep from the band, 2 for me and one for a friend.

     

    it was nice week, at least to feel good after loosing my chance to grab an original copy of slauter xstroyes'-winterkill...

    Check out this vid:

     

    http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=48752739

     

    44 minutes long from their album release party... back when they held these kinds of events.

     

    Any of their stuff ever make it to CD? The lead vocalist sounds like he has a set of pipes.

     

     

     

    there's a split cd from M8: oracle-selah/emerald-armed for battle. but look out coz it was bootlegged from the usual greek mafia.

     

    also the band recently(for their appearance in calistone) made some nicely done cd-rs of it, including the bonus trax from compilations. they're selling it from their myspace page. i bought it+ a couple of great t-shirts(new design).

     

     

    nowadays their vinyl, although not so rare like some others(round 1350 copies pressed) always fetch high prices-in the $200+ category

     

     

     

    edit: i still have my green colan....can't wait to wear it while watching this video,aaaaaaaaaaaaargh.....
