It's nice that they let Yngwie take it out on tour with him as a backdrop.
I don't really know much about the chap or have heard much of his playing but I reckon he's a right hoot at parties !

Gonna guess that the booze and drugs took a toll.
Here is some music that doesn't really have any guitar playing on it but is doused with rock 'n' roll
On the other hand, Malmsteen had released Rising Force at 21. By 25, he dropped Oddysey on us. I was a marginally better guitarist at this age and spent more time getting pissed with my mates. Comparatively speaking, Malmsteen was lightyears ahead of anything I could do, despite his inspiration and my futile efforts trying to play like him.
His level of playing and ridiculous technique at such a young age is unfathomable. It's even harder to comprehend knowing he did so on a strat with high action and scalloped frets. Like he could've made it harder for himself. I don't think any self-respecting guitarist can question his ability. I dare anyone to listen to Far Beyond the Sun and say it's crap, even if you don't like his style of music.
I personally love his charisma, flamboyance, honest expression and the fact that he simply does not give a f***. He seems like one of the last '80s rockers who has maintained that persona. And if I could play even just a little bit like him, I would probably be doing the same.
In short, he's a bloke who can play guitar ace. What's not to love?
one of my regrets is not buying a malmsteen sig back in 99. I ended up with Gibson, but I really wish I had gone for the fender. It was a dream to play!
I admire his playing, but I have never liked the man at all.
Mind you, i like most of those bands from the scene he came from
