Biography
Yngwie Johan Malmsteen is a world-renowned Swedish guitarist and bandleader. As a young boy, Yngwie originally had no interest in music, but that all changed on September 18th, 1970 when he saw a TV special on the late Jimi Hendrix. Seven-year-old Yngwie watched in awe as Hendrix blasted the audience with torrents of feedback and sacrificed his guitar in flames. Malmsteen first became known in the 1980s for his neoclassical metal playing style in heavy metal, and has released 20 studio albums in a career spanning almost 40 years. Drawing influence from classical composers such as Bach, Paganini, and Vivaldi, Yngwie is responsible for birthing the neo-classical genre to the world of rock. In 2009, Time magazine rated Yngwie Malmsteen as among the 10 greatest electric guitar players of all time.

Hard 'N Heavy Volume 8

Inspired by the flamboyance of Hendrix, the digitally dexterous Swede started out playing in bands, but it wasn't long before he was putting his name (and what a name!) to line-ups skilled enough to support a six-string style that leans as much towards the world of classical music as that of rock. In the course of an ongoing career that encompasses ground-breaking music, global gigging, award winning albums, and as many front covers & critical backslaps as one lifetime can sensibly handle, Malmsteen has virtually reinvented the guitar as an instrument to be seen with - as this concert in the Land Of The Rising Sun clearly demonstrates…

From Zodiac Mindwarp’s completely excessive ‘Prime Mover’ (directed by TV’s ‘The Young Ones’ star Adrian Edmondson) and the LA Guns’ intelligently sleazy ‘Sex Action’ to such prize rarities as KISS’ sexier European Version of their mega-smash ‘Reason To Live’ and Bon Jovi’s never-seen-on-TV ‘Wild In The Streets’, ‘ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MELTDOWN’ is highly volatile. It is therefore recommended that those possessing it keep it out of sight and reach of those parents or guardians inclined to confiscate such art in a misdirected attempt to insulate their kids from the real and exciting world. Have a good time!
