I can see what you say about Yngwie's career. Rising Force was a pretty good album but the rest didn't really grow from it although it was still amazing. But I think this Concerto was amazing. Everyone that I know that's heard are all 80s metal and classic rock fans all the way, and they said it changed their lives. This was a great piece. ]]>

Wow, Yngwie has incredible technique as well as speed. But yes, that's true that speed is not everything. You could be the slowest guitarist in the world and still be better than the fastest shreddar on the planet. But you've got to be retarded to think such a thing about Yngwie's 'Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar'. He wrote and composed all the music on the album and it blends together beautifully. I highly reccomend this album. ]]>

Steve Vai may have admitted that he wouldn't be able to attain Malmsteen's speed, but is speed all there is to playing a guitar? Technique, and articulation is also important. While Malmsteen also excels in the latter two, he plays things at such breakneck speeds that you can't even make out what he's playing until he stops for a vibrato, or something like that. Malmsteen is cool, but face it; lots of people can shred (eg John Petrucci of Dream Theater), and they sound cooler (and more varied) than he does. ]]>

The words that i have read are disgusting in my point of view, Yngwie Malmsteens Ability has grown since his wrist injuries, the man was set on getting back on form but he exceeded all expectations. Malmsteen is a living legend, his skill is unmatched even Steve Vai Openly admitted in an inerview that he would never be able to match Malmsteens speed, surely these comments coming from such a genious mean something, Malmsteens speed combined with his melodic skill leave him as the worlds top guitarist. Even though he shreds look at the other guitarists, Richie Blackmoore, Darrell 'Dimebag' Abbott and Jon Donais, the inspiration this man has provided will continue to spawn new Shredding guitarists. ]]>

Tim, do yourself a favor and check out Mike Keneally's album with the Metropole Orkest, The Universe Will Provide. As my review states, this is probably the best example of what this kind of pairing can do because there's no ego on display. It's a gorgeous, but more importantly, intelligent use of orchestra in a rock context. ]]>
