beautiful solo.. beautifully constructed.. beautifully played..

the face he pulls at the end of it looks like relief..

I understand he did this, plus a couple of others in one improvised take

even more impressive then... wow

Telejester

how much do you think yngwie's lyrics contributed to him being a laughing stock ?

I am a viking
(derngh derngh derngh)
and im really mean
(derngh derngh derngh)
they say my vikingness
(derngh derngh derngh)
is really obscene
( run in e harmonic minor......derngh derngh derngh )


some of his lyrics are just painful

This has inspired me to google some of his lyrics. Valhalla and War to End All Wars are particular comedy highlights.

First two verses.

Valhalla,
Valhalla
Pick up your sword
Pick up your sword
And get your ass on to the battle field
This hell on earth
That you call your life
We'll snuff it out
And you're gonna die

We come from the north
We come from the ice
We live dangerously
And very short lives
We fight day by day
Sailing the seas
We're natural born slayers
We live by the sword
And die by the sword
We're never afraid
And to drink with the gods
To be singing their songs
I raise my cup in valhalla
To feast in their halls
And laugh with them all
I raise my cup in Valhalla

The misterious vibrato’d bend at around 45 sec with non-vibrato’d fingers suggests otherwise. Still epic though.

Good spot. I imagine he meant the solo was constructed and recorded in one take. With a couple of overdubs to tidy up vs a cut and paste solo.
