Hm, I always thought that the Evil Empire was the States tough.

just watch this video and imagine if you would, that you had no idea who this guy was, and you'd never heard this "style" before.

this is early Yngwie and
he's fucking ripping in this one

That's probably my favorite live version of that song. From Live in Japan '85, I have it on VHS -lol. It's an awesome concert with the "classic" lineup - Jeff Scott Soto and the Johannsen brothers.

Watching this reminded me of something - I miss Jens on keys. Unleash the Fury was the first Yngwie cd I bought since Eclipse and remember thinking, "where are the guitar/keyboard duels?". I miss those from the earlier albums.

I sure do too. Both Jens and Anders Johansson are really great musicians. Speaking of which, have you heard their father Jan Johansson? His was a truly amazing jazz pianist! You can check him out here:

Far Beyond the Sun is a phenominal piece.

I was in an Yngwie mood last night, and dragged out the old Trial By Fire - Live in Leningrad video for a viewing. Still good stuff!
