@dockaiser This is a 1978 song by the awesome band UK (Allan Holdsworth-guitar; John Wetton-bass, vocals; Eddie Jobson-keyboards, electric violin; Bill Bruford-drums). Anyway, I am glad he stills plays his Bach and Paganini stuff. He is light years ahead of the kids in the bands these days who play three chords and no guitar solos.
Just found this after hearing Dream Theater's rendition of this song. This was A LOT better. Even Yngwie shredding the phrygian dominant during the solo was MILES better than Petrucci's attempt at the solo - which quite frankly was super underwhelming.
a good friend of mine worked for a fanzine and i had the chance to go with when he interviewed yngwie.he was the coolest guy ever.despite all his flash and tricks etc in person hes a very fast thinker, a very cool person.he listens to you and makes you feel like your important.hes truly incredible.he was warming up and to watch him up close is absolutely mind boggling.one the best players hands down and hes funny too.thanks for the awesome memories yngwie
The original version with Allan Holdsworth is truly amazing. His solo is a true milestone😊👍 I didn’t hear them mentioning Allan, maybe they should have…
making this already epic/complex song into an even MORE over the top version is quite respectable ... love when he does that big riff after chorus one handed ! - even if you don't go for this genre in general, that is ' pretty good' playing by YJM and band, LOL ...
@misterstax1 Allan Holdsworth is one of my all-time favorite guitar heroes. I always love watching him play live. As far as Yngwie goes, I still love his playing, but I wish he would play more stuff that sounds like the song "Marching Out". That had a really Holdsworth-like feel to it. :)
As the Marching Out title track is fading out, listen out for a repeated solo pattern that sounds almost identical to one on the debut Michael Lee Firkins solo guitar album from 1990.
THIS BY FAR AND AWAY MY FAVORITE TRACK OF YNGWIE'S COVER TUNES.. THIS WAS THE TRACK THAT MY OLDER BROTHER GOT ME HOOKED ON BY MR.ALLAN HOLDSWORTH.. I GREW UP IN AN EXTREMELY MUSICAL FAMILY. MY FATHER AND SECOND OLDEST BROTHER.. I AM NOT A FAN OF YNGWIE J MAMSTEEN.. I WAS ALWAY'S MORE MUCH MORE OF A UNCLE~MR.STEVE VAI FANATIC..UNCLE~MR STEVE VAI WAS AND STILL IS THE HIGH PRIEST OF GUITARIST'S FOR ME... AS WELL AS MICHAEL ROMEO..THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS VIDEO..
Yngwie in the moment, keeping things loose. Great rendition here, on the Inspiration version, the Holdsworth really comes out. Brilliant stuff by Maestro Yngwie. U.K. was so futuristic when their first record came out. I remember my bandmates being completely boggled lol.
in every album ... has been able to find the right singer .... for me the best ever ... that is m.vescera god bless you my hero .. yngwie malmsteen is a genius .
as a fan of the real one... it is horrible .. I could write a paper on why. so many reasons. including the obvious slop of the band and annyong drummer...
@@morbidmanmusic It’s far from horrible, and I’m also a fan of the real (original) song. Obviously the original is superior, but for a cover done by a metal artist, it has its own unique flavor, and I especially love the way the vocals translate to this heavier version. I definitely agree that the drummer is the weak link within this performance, but even still I found it to be a quite enjoyable homage to Allan and U.K.
Wow, ive never heard yngwie play the way he does over shifting key centers, he usually blasts off in one key. Not saying i didnt think he could not, js ive never heard him do it before.
I saw UK perform this live twice. Once with Bill Bruford and Alan Holdsworth and the 2cnd time with Terry Bozzio. One of the great prog classics imhop.
@@artrock5741 Technically yes, but Yngwie is the one playing Holdsworth’s parts that Allan wrote himself (if I’m not mistaken), so technically you’re both right lol
@misterstax I agree on most of what you said. But careful what you say when u stereotype a yngwie lover as being incapable growing out of tha and stuck in rudimentary form of music. that couldn't be more false. By the way, I must have seen holdsworth a dozen times and as much i think he's incredible, and highly musically advanced..he can too get boring too after 5 sounds or more...and yes he likes his melodic minor and whole tone scales as much as Yngwie with Harminic minor and diminshed 7..
Yeah, thats usually typical from crappy players who cant even play a proper blues scale, so they flame on players like yngwie only to feel better about themselves...
He’s also listed Holdsworth as one of his favorite guitarists. Honestly, U.K. had one of the most impressive line-ups of all time, every musician in the band is an absolute legend.
Swedish guitarists seem to love Allan Holdsworth, and I can’t blame them. You have Yngwie of course, but theirs also a lot of prog and metal guitarists in the Swedish music scene that take heavy influence from Holdsworth. Meshuggah’s guitarist, Frederik Thorndal was maybe the first to really introduce Allan’s unique outside sound to the genre of metal. Also, the guitarist of the Swedish prog rock band The Flower Kings, Roine Stolt, mixes a lot of Holdsworth into many of his leads, though it’s far less technical than Allan’s playing. Finally there is Per Nilsson, a metal/prog guitarist who’s tone and legato are heavily influenced by Allan, and he’s even covered a few of Allan’s songs before. It’s also been amazing to see how many people are still discovering and loving Allan’s music, even after his passing. A timeless legend who will forever be one of the best to ever touch the electric guitar.
@Levis Strauss Certainly just my opinion but, Allan has such a way that makes each and every note seem absolutely necessary. It seems that Yngwie plays too many notes and misses the soulful way Allan squeezes every drop out of each note. I think it just becomes a bit hazy.
@@whizwerx I definitely understand where you’re coming from, and partially agree, but I must say that I really enjoy this cover, even though it can’t hold a candle to the original. I’m glad that he didn’t try to completely replicate the style of the original, as it probably would have been butchered. Allan’s playing is definitely outside of Yngwie’s comfort zone. However, I like how he shifted the style to a more prog-metal feel, which allowed him to cover the song in a way that was more so in line with his playing style, while still being able to pay homage to Holdsworth through some of the lead sections, though still leaning more on his style than Holdsworth’s.
