The Very Concept Of YNGWIE MALMSTEEN!
Yngwie Malmsteen has the kind of physical beauty that puts a torch to talent. In other words, it doesn’t hurt the "young Viking chief" (“Yngwie”'s literal translation) that he drives the young girls wild long before his fingers slam into his guitar strings at a hundred miles an hour.

Yngwie Malmsteen has the kind of physical beauty that puts a torch to talent. In other words, it doesn’t hurt the "young Viking chief" (“Yngwie”'s literal translation) that he drives the young girls wild long before his fingers slam into his guitar strings at a hundred miles an hour. But it’s exactly this kind of fawning that makes him suspicious.
“Next comes the part about my ‘big ego,’” he says with Stockholm still heavy on his tongue. “When I was younger, I really was a brat. Not now, and not when I was in Alcatrazz, the way everybody thinks. I just didn’t appreciate the aspects of being a ‘normal’ person. Anybody that wouldn’t agree with me caused me pain. I wouldn’t even try to discuss it. I’d just say ‘Fuck you!’ It’s hard to admit, but that was the whole attitude I had when I was a kid. I don’t think that’s relevant today. That was a long time ago, really.
