Who doesn’t love with blindfold tests with Yngwie?

[Flamencology]

Lars Ulrich is a great drummer and George Martin was ‘tone deaf’, btw.

Extremely awful and crazy lazy choices for an interviewer doing a blindfold test.

But still somehow oddly entertaining.

Sounds like Tom Petty should've had Yngwie on guitar, instead of Mike Campbell.

I've never heard a Yngwie song but Mike Campbell ALWAYS plays exactly what the song needs, this is a prime example.

I love that he always starts from the position that he is better than everyone.

So when likes an artist he is like "this is definitely not as good as me, but..."

Also, it's sad when all people have to say about music is 'wow they definitely played in tune'. Was there no arts education in Sweden in the 70s?

Yngwie is the best at what he does. What he does is some of the worst music for listening.

do they blindfold him and push him into a volcano? I would watch that.

Or human piñata.

Total blasphemy! You don't make Purple Hazeinto a fuckin' rap song! You just don't! The mere thought makes me want to puke! It's like converting a Rolls Royce into a Volkswagen.

"Whoever these guys are, they should be shot! And the fact that [producer] Eddie Kramer, who I've known for years, didn't ask me to do something on this Hendrix tribute is also blasphemy! I would've loved to play on it."



The irony is so lost on him.

This is one of those classics I love reading every time it comes up. “The singer sounds like he's sitting on a toilet seat, pushing a big one.” is a great explanation of death metal vocals. Guitar World should do this every month with a different guitarist.

REPORTED to the Pope.

I think a blindfold is perfectly appropriate seeing as YJM sports a musical blindfold.
