You don't like songs about Vikings??? What? Are you gay?

I really dug the Mr Crowley cover Yngwie did with Ripper, so this should be cool. Ripper is alot heavier sounding than his past vocalists.

It destroys Randy's version, IMO.
BTW, Yngwie loved Iced Earth in the early 90s.

I wish he would dump his Strats for at least one album and use a Flying V or other humbucker loaded guitar. Strats with a lot of gain sound like mushy crap for metal tones IMHO.

IMHO Yngwie butchered it, in a really bad way. I hate when people cover a solo and just ignore the original notes and do their own noodling.

Butchered it? Yngwie did what Yngwie does.... I happen to love the original, its my fave RR solo by far but I love what YJM did , its like he just flew the bird to everyone and I love that... He did an awesome Job considering he just came in and winged the entire thing..., It Yngwie and he can do no wrong..

Well, Yngwie always does his own thing which I like a lot. Not to mention about playing the bends in tune and with better tone. Mr. Crowley might have the best Randy Rhoads solo though...

Wassup, Bro?

Well, it seems that I posted basically the same reply.

Right on, Im not going to say it is better than the RR version but it is very cool in its own right.

Yeah...I agree with that 100%

 

[Ultron]

Nothing was worse than the BUTCHERING of "Dream On" by Yngwie and Dio. That was an abomination.

That's why i didn't like it. If he's gonna just play the same crap he always does why bother covering any other tune. I love Yngwie when he does his own stuff, but if he was going to cover Hotel California would he ignore the solo and just wank over it with diminished licks? It just sounds stupid to me.

Agreed

Yngwie + covertunes = teh suck

GO TO HELL!!!

Its not his Strats that make his tone suck so much ass. Its that DOD pedal. Those things have the rattiest sounding top end ever...

It really depends on the bridge pickup too though. A newer stock Fender bridge single coil with high gain, usually sucks ass. Although the SCN pickups sound great under high gain IMO. And actually, those Dimarzio's that he uses would sound pretty righteous IMO if he ditched that lame ass DOD pedal. All IMO of course.

Ever heard Yngwie's album `Inspiration`?

Just take a Strat and play it through a Marshall then do the same with a Gibson loaded with buckers. For hard rock and metal the buckers just have soo much more balls and crunch. I like the Dimarzios but a Strat is still going to sound like a Strat no matter how many boost pedals you use. I had an Yngwie Strat and compared to my parts superstrat i had it was just no contest for heavy tones.

I love Ynwgie's lead tones of course, it's just his rhythm tones. I would love to hear him play an entire album with that Gibson V that he's been spotted using here and there.

Yngwie is known to use Les pauls for recording rhythms.
