Satriani and Vai are MARVELOUS players! But, when Yngvie Malmsteen steps up to the plate and shows 'em how it's really done, who did you say Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are...?!?!? Absolutely KILLER performance. If that music teacher calls and asks for his video back, don't say a word (just hang up!). ⚡🤪💥🔨⚡
I was going to say, one of the best things about this is the metal drumming. Not rock. Metal. Alllllll the other showman guitarists in this league have super plain rock drumming. So boring. Also Yngwie applies some really good and dark vibes along with all the super colorful and epic shredding.
I first saw this back in 2004 and I have always come back to watch this clip in some form or another...and I am.not even into baroque rock. This is just such an awesome performance in so many regards. Respect from a funk bass player.
same for me. Pretty much the same time. I only knew of YJM as a wanker but that's from people who are ignorant of the path he blazed for the instrument. No one did it like him before he came along, truly an innovator. He just kinda happens to be a little cheesy at the same time. I can look past it.
@@MeAndMyShadowBand Genuinely great players like Satriani and Vai fall into the "intermediate" category in the face of someone like Malmsteen (both playing and performance-wise). I love all three. My God! What a fantastic combination to see in concert...!!!! ⚡👍🥴⚡
@@Da_Xman That's true technique wise, but over the years (been playing for 30) I've grown to appreciate the Satriani and Vais of the world because they truly were original and wrote some great tunes, with some interesting techniques they both invented. I moved past them on to Yngwie cause, well it's Yngwie and it's mind blowing when you first hear and see it. But now I've gone back to appreciating Satriani for his originality and ability to write very cool melodic stuff, with some groove variety. Those dudes are pretty badass in their own way. Yngwie is the true great pillar of shred though
his DiMarzios and his current Seymour Duncan are both stacked single-coil humbucker sets; the secret is in his vintage Marshall head, the classic one with only one knob
mine never goes out of tune either, and it's only a mexican strat, poor quality. i used to own a yngwie signature and that thing never went out of tune. it's all in how you put your strings on and keeping your bridge properly set up
I also have two strats and the tuning is quite stable. And Yngwie's strats has the vintage 6 point bridge, which is supposed to be less stable. A lubricated nut with well craved slots, a proper setup, new strings, are always a good start.
Malmsteen is soooo far and away BEYOND both Satriani and Vai (both incredible players themselves!). They're both VERY acutely aware of it too. (QUESTION: Just how good is "GOOD"...?!?!?
