Players in this kinda genre such as Mike Romeo, Carl August Tidemann, Marcel Coenen, Magnus Karlsson, and especially Ron Jarzombek have a delivery, writing style and approach that always holds my interest.
I'd rather just listen to Jeff Loomis..he da man!
It doesn't get any better than Jeff as a metal guitarist..perioid! But Uli Roth is the king of kings..IMO! But even technically gifted players with generic writing skills (IMO) such as Rusty, Petrucci ALWAYS have something to offer that just jumps out and grabs you..only problems with them is when it happens ..it's gone. They shift gears too much. They get a great thing going for a couple measures and it's gone. But I take something from those little moments that seem to few and far between with some players. All great platers have something to offer.
OH BTW regarding Yngwie. Y'know his style was completely barrowed from Jonas Hansson with both Johansson brothers in Sweden's Silver Mountain..neo-classical style and stage antics that including the 360 guitar twirl thingy. You can start with this vid to see what camp Yngwinator came from..and how he came to be and developed. He just refined what was in place like a mofo...same influences, same camp..Ritchie, Uli school..Silver Mountain 1982
