Lawl about what? He had some of the greatest vocalists evah! Jeff Scott Sotto and Mark Boals are simply divine! Btw, does anyone listen to Mark Boal's Ring of Fire, with Vitalij Kuprij and Tony McAlpine? Their debut was a great "yngwi-sh" record imo (here's a review I wrote btw http://www.forgotten-scroll.net/review. ... Asgardlord) |

Have a look at Blitzkrieg and Annihilator's pages.

Check out this relevant Yngwie intie I was reading the other day Is there any chance that some of your current band members could participate in writing your next album? Erm, well, no because that’s not how I do things. It is a very unusual thing in the confines of rock and roll, so to speak, but I do work very much more in a way that a classical composer would. A classical composer writes a piece of music, he may be a pianist or a violinist but he also writes for the cellos and the woodwinds and the choirs, percussion. He writes every part of the whole ensemble, and that’s what I do. Every time I’ve done it in a different way, I’ve walked away extremely disappointed and very unhappy. So maybe I was born into the wrong century or something else, I don’t know. But it just doesn’t work for me. For the longest time I would record with a couple of people in the room with me. They wouldn’t necessarily write, but they would be there. In fact I would always come up with the idea and the melody, I would tell someone to program the drum machine, ok I want 16 notes here and I want this, this and this. I would say to the keyboard player, play this part and the keyboard player would sit there and play this part and that part. That’s how I did it for years, then I parted with those guys about 6 years ago and I said to myself this could be interesting, what am I going to do now? Except the very early days in Sweden it was always my own stuff, although some people like to put out my stuff and call it there own! I would like to point out very strongly that this is not something that is done out of arrogance or selfishness or anything like that. It’s purely an artistic expression that I feel is much more in the vein of a painter. A painter doesn’t want to let someone come in and paint the background and you do the foreground and the little trees, oh can I come in and do a little bird in there? No! I don’t want a fucking bird in there! And I don’t want to argue about whether there’s going to be a bird or not! That’s one way to look at it. Another way is to look at it like an author, for instance Steven King, or whoever, Clive Barker, my very favourite. I’m pretty sure he writes his own stuff. So in a lot of ways people have a hard time dealing with it. They go, look at that Malmsteen guy, he’s a real writer, he’s very full of himself isn’t he? I’m not like that. I think you’re full of yourself if you call the band ‘your name’, and don’t do everything! There are a lot of people who do that but I won’t mention names! So to get back to the creation of things, this is a very long answer I know! I don’t mind, I very much enjoy playing on other peoples albums and I do that quite often. I played on Derek’s (Sherinian) album twice and I just did another thing with some Beatles stuff, I do shit like that. People ask me ‘Hey, do you want to come and play on this album?’ and I go ‘Yeah, sure. Whatever.’ and when I go in, I do exactly what they tell me. Which is almost always they tell me to do what I want to do, but i'm prepared to do what they want me to do. That’s the way I would like people to have people work for me. That’s why Doogie (White) has been around for such a long time because he’s perfectly well aware of the fact that he’s like an actor in a film or he’s performing a Shakespeare play, and he does it very well. That’s why we’ve been doing it so long together. Every time I’ve been doing it with other singers, out of laziness, I’ve let them write ‘Oh come on baby, yeah yeah, lets do it tonight’ type of thing, I cant fucking bear it now. I won’t mention names or records, but I’ve done records and I really hate them and that’s only because I allowed that. |
