Note, this was not filmed in 1990. "Radio 1990" was just the name of the show. This interview was recorded on 11/27/85 due to some clever math diagnosis in the comments below.
If you listen closely they mention that’s it’s Hendrix birthday which was 11/27/42 so this interview was done on 11/27/85. He played Portland,ME. on 11/24 iirc. I saw him a few times on this tour and taped him on 9/13/85, in Boston, 8/31/86 in Foxboro,MA. & 7/20/88 again in Boston.
Anyway, Hendrix Birthday was November 27, and that's the date of this interview (In fact he says tomorrow is thanksgiving, which happened on November 28, 1985)

My God…..the memories. If you were “of age” in ‘85-‘87, then you got to live through one of the greatest decades of America. I wish I’d gotten to know more of the 70’s, but at least I got to experience the 80’s. Thank you for posting.
This is when I really got into him. Saw him on this tour opening up for AC/DC in Atlanta. I always recall how funny it was watching him open up for AC/DC playing at lightning speed, then AC/DC comes on and the speed came to a halt....very slow compared to Yngwie...lol
Yep. I saw that tour too. Fly on the wall. Had front row at Louisville gardens. Had never seen anything like him. Show was like one long extended solo. We loved it
Great interview!!! Yngwie was so young, about the same age as Eddie when he recorded Eruption. Two great innovators, two of the best ever. She was a great interviewer also, don’t see anything like that on TV anymore. Cool times back then, the interviewer would actually know about the Rock scene. 🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
I watched this show all the time & saw this episode too when it aired. Also saw Yngwie open for AC/DC in 85. One of the best shows ever. Been listening to Yngwie for a year or so by that point & never seen or heard anything like him. Probably the last true originator of a new guitar style.

Ha! i saw it said 1990 and immediately went to correct you, but somebody else already got it sorted! Thanks for doing all the work lol. A couple of things from watching this,... god DAMN he was already preparing for his 3rd album by the age of 22. Its something i knew,.. but when you say it out loud, it hits differently. And,.. that lady interviewing him was AWESOME!! Its weird living in 2023 where hosts are merely attractive people seeking fame, instead of trained journalists skilled at bringing information out of their interviewees. I miss THIS Yngwie,... young, hungry, and still varied in his approach/material. He really was the King. There will never be another.
Yeah, I tried to point out in the name of the video that it was a *show* called Radio 1999*. I even placed in the film date in the name of the video. "TV show called "Radio 1990" (Filmed 11/27/85)"
This is AWESOME FOOTAGE In 30 plus years Ive NEVER SEEN THIS ... I KNEW when I met YNGWIE IN NYC he Would BE """IT""" Advice WORK UR ASS OFF and Be CONSISTENT ... Be RELENTLESS!!
Oh my Yngwie! Increible! Sadly, i think that maybe there is lotta more footage yet not released to the public, and if the idea is showing all it when, you know, then hope it never shows up. But ya, i really want bad to see the Day on the green full footage of Yngwie someday. YJM rules!
I was at that Day on the Green, he was having a lot of technical difficulty’s but overall it was a great day. Still would be cool if they had that footage
Back when now 40 years later there was a light at the end of the tunnel 40 years away and we all thought there was a bright future ahead (i was born in the 90s im js generally)
It isnt, at all. The opposite actually. In Sweden they learn to speak with a British accent, but he's adopted the American accent after living here for many years.
@@colinsmith5879 i was making the comparison from this interview to the present day. I can't honestly remember any earlier interview where a British accent was noticeable.
Sorry Dino I’ve accidentally led you astray and Claudio corrected me. The correct date of this interview is indeed 11/27/85. I was thinking ‘8’ because I was thinking 9/1’8’/70 which was the day Jimi died.
LOL. Well, in all fairness, they were always his backing band. He wrote all the songs, and most of the lyrics (except on Odyssey where JLT wrote most if not all of the lyrics) as well. He was the one with the record contract, not the members of the band.
@@Nghilifa indeed but in all fairness, he was and still is an egoic control freak, that has fallen to the bottom of the barrel, the unique beautiful runs that only he could do, not to mention his massively underrated rhythm chops have gone to shit, he lives in the world of Yngwie 1988 making up s**t about others and creating fairy tales that never happen only in his head, hes a sad bloated mess in 2023 just like his music of 2023.
It’s great how he mentions Jean Luc-Ponty and UK that’s Allan Holdsworth. Yngwie knows what the good stuff is. I’d bet less than 10% of typical metal heads know who Ponty or Holdsworth are . Please for the betterment of your own lives go seek out who these musicians are.
Yeah, this is right around the time I discovered him too. First year of high school, I had been playing about a year by then. And it was fun to go to Universal Studios around that time too, to see where they filmed the video, I’ll see the light-the Conan the barbarian set/attraction. I saw him play the Forum, a couple years after this interview. Then I just saw him last, about three years ago. He played at a smaller club here in Pasadena, CA. Crazy, still so awesome. He almost never stopped. Just shredded for 90 minutes straight. Small venue, so I kept walking over to the side of the stage to get some eye contact from the legend. Pretty wild! I ended up getting those first two rising force albums signed by Jeff Scott Soto too. That was back in the late 80s, he was at a local party. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
@@veganpower7825 You are a little off topic. Nonetheless the type of rot you are referring to was here long before the west showed up. War, slavery, depravity, rape, etc. were not unique to the settlers, and existed among the tribes of North America. I can sympathize with your position because I used to share it myself. It is what our “education” system shoves down our throats. Coincidentally I also was vegan for five years lol. Ten years ago I think we would have held many similar beliefs. As I got a bit older and matured I began to realize history has far more nuance, and that the days of cultural cohesion/ homogeneity are something to long for.
Hip Hop is great, the modern stuff, not so much, but in the 80s and early 90s it was great. I hate close minded people like you, if people like you had your way back in the early 50s, rock wouldn't have survived until today, they called it "race music" back then and in the 60s. Only people who don't have it in them to innovate makes stupid statements such as you did.
lol seeing ''1990'' and thinking this looks like mid 80's Yngwie...then the RATT album made me look at the description lol His first two albums with RF were fucking fire, Jeff on vocals was awesome too. He was very cool in this interview, later he gets a lot more cocky and impatient...not sure if that's the accident... Still an amazing guitar player.
Unfortunate, right? Sometimes I think the public is to blame in some ways. I mean,stardom does harden you. People asking for an autograph when he's out to eat or walking with a friend. It has to get tiresome. At that point, you just ignore everything in hopes it goes away. From the perspective of the fan, it's rude and not very becoming.
