Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck on June 30, 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, composer, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Malmsteen became notable in the mid-1980s for his technical fluency and neo-classical metal compositions, often incorporating high speed picking with harmonic minor scales, diminished scales and sweep picked arpeggios. Four of his albums, from 1984 to 1988, Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey, ranked in the top 100 for sales. Malmsteen was born in Stockholm, Sweden, as the third child of a musically-inclined family. At age seven, he saw a television news report on the death of Jimi Hendrix, an event which had a profound impact on his musical path. To quote his official website, "The day Jimi Hendrix died, the guitar-playing Malmsteen was born". At the age of 10 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsten as his surname, slightly changed it to Malmsteen, and Anglicised his given name Yngve to "Yngwie". Yngwie also created his first band "Track On Earth" at the age of 10, consisting of himself and a friend from school on drums. Malmsteen was a teenager when he first encountered the music of the 19th century violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical music influence.

malmsteen played a certain amount of cookie cutter music, hey a guys got to make a living. however, as a technical musician he tows the note very well. oh yeah, to lewis, trying to clump all music from the 80's is a statement that has the same fragrance as the diaper you were most likely wearing during that decade...
fu*k you, yngwie is the fastest fu*king most extreme rediculously talented guitarist ever placed on this earth
I wont lie he is good , but if you think that this guy really plays flamenco , you are so fuking wrong , and if you listen to the other songs you would realize that there are so meany guitar players like him on the 80s lol bullshit , you want to listen something with much more class "Paco de lucia " Mediterranean sundance he would rape this guy , this guy is like many other 80s players..but remmeber he is "Fast" lol lol lol ...
