Yngwie Loses It!

Written by Tim Hall
Published December 09, 2002

Not only has Yngwie Malmsteen not made a decent record for something like ten years, but he's also an idiotic jerk that gets into fights on planes.

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo, Japan after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist.

The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman.

Better still, someone in Yngwie's entourage recorded the whole exchange on tape - you can download the MP3!

I bet those 'derogatory remarks' were loud enough for the whole plane to hear. Just shut up and play the guitar, Yngwie!

I know it's dangerous posting on this website but wouldn't "just shut up Yngwiddly" be better.

What Yngwie needs is a radical egoectomy, performed without an anaesthetic. Then he will realise he's not cut out to be a solo performer because he doesn't have the talent. He can spend the rest of his days as someone else's sidesman.

This is by far the best news story I've read all day. Everyone really needs to download that mp3.

Oh c'mon guys! Like you wouldn't have freaked out if someone was to pour water on you during a flight.
I bet each and everyone of you would have screamed just as loud as he did.
To be honest, only a geek would remain calm and go "No problem, i enjoyed the water anyway..."

Dude, I heard EVH has an equally big ego.
I think Rock Stars are meant to have ego's?

bill, not only is your comment lacking in both grace and insight, it's also double dumb; any one with half an idea about rock knows that Yngwie is Swedish.
