Finally will be seeing Yngwie soon

Saw him maybe 20 years ago (god I'm old now) and he was great. It was a small venue but he was kicking and spinning the guitar and just let it all hang out. Seemed to be enjoying himself.

Fun show and damn he can rip. For all the (valid) criticism of his recent albums, his tendency to just go flat out translates really well to a live show.

I seen him in Steeler at the Country Club, in Reseda, in 1982.
And seen him many times.

If Yngwie Malmsteen would have kept the line up with Joe Lynn Turner from the 1987 , Odyssey Lp, he would have had much larger success, but his ego killed that opportunity.

He easily could have had the same level of success as White Snake ....

I like that Steeler album, it fit in well at the time
 
Saw him with Lita Ford and Black 'n Blue around 88. Dude was LOUD!!!!

I dare you to wear leather pants and a poofy white pirate shirt.

You mean what I typically wear? I'm still nervous about taking the Ferrari though. I'm not sure what the parking situation will be like and also promised Yngwie I'd pick him up a box of donut holes and don't want to get powdered sugar on the zebra pelt seats......
 


All jokes aside, another 10 years and some of these folks will not be with us. I’ve come to that grim realization recently.

Basically all I listen to is pre-2000s music with a heavy concentration in the 70s/80s…I’m about to run out of shows to go to and friends :shocked: :aww::cheers2:

I've never seen Yngwie live and finally got tickets to see him with Glenn Hughes (another bucketlist). I'm not expecting the best show ever but will be cool seeing him since I've been listening sl to him since 85' or so.

I saw Robert Plant with Allison Krause the other day. So awesome and one of the best shows I've been to. Every song just sounded great and their voices soared. It was a great bucketlist moment.

Yngwie doesn’t interest me at all, but Glenn Hughes, on the other hand, I’d love to see.

Can you elaborate where this show is at? I looked up Glenn Hughes live dates and everything is overseas. Glenn rarely shows up on a stage here in Ca.
 
He had so many great singers and bands and blew it with everyone. He's Def. sloppy now but as others have said, still incredible and effortless to watch.

I get a kick out of his band being crammed in the back corner. Not even centered half the time. Like these guys are worth less than Marshall ( some empty no doubt ) cabs lol. I love it. So Yngwie.

Save your money. He’s so self indulgent he sucks. The highlight of his show was watching him kick picks out to the audience, that he’s good at and counting the 49 Marshal 4 holers on stage. If he actually put together a show that was entertaining it would be awesome. I have a friend that drags me to his show everytime he comes through Columbus but NO MORE. I don’t give a shit if Glenn Hughes is with him!

I'm just checking a box since I've never seen him. I'm also hoping Glenn's mojo somehow reaches my soul while I'm there.

Dude I'm more excited about seeing him than Yngwie!! I love all versions of DP and think Glenn is a badass with anything he touches musically.
