Ymgwie is my age, and when he speaks about things from the 70s, etc, it makes sense to me.
Like everything in life we have to choose what we are going to do, and commit to it. People like Yngwei have an obsession with being the best, and that's why they become the best and bring value to our lives. They are rare, and that's why we love them. Yngwei included!
Now there's no passion for everything everything is s***
Yngwie is a "purist". He's Integral! He is True. He is the Absolute đŻđ„đđâ€đđŻđ„đđâ€đđŻđ„đđâ€BEST!!. THAT'S WHY I WILL LOVE HIM ETERNALLY!âïžâïžđâ€â€â€đđđđđđđđđđđđȘđžđ„â€đ
BEST interview I've seen with him. You mixed it up with him, asked great questions, and let him speak. This was excellent. Worth multiple watches. Yngwie seemed really natural, relaxed, and seemed to really be enjoying it. I enjoyed this IMMENSELY. VERY interesting conversation.â
Incredible to see Jonathan talk with Yngwie, such a fan just like us.
I totally am! Big fan since the '90s. Thanks for watching.
@@JonathanGrahamMusic Thanks for this Jonathan, this is the best interview I've seen of him so far. I've never seen him "open up" like this in a loooong time. Well done sir!
It would so hard to interview guys like Yngwie and not just nerd out over the ideas, the playing, the execution. it's all insane
The Maestro himself
probably one of the best interviews of him I've ever seen, congrats man!
Thank you for watching, and the kind words.
Saw Yngwie on 12/4/21 at The Apollo in Belvidere, IL, what a show. Let me tell you, I was not prepared to be blown away. If you think he ever "left", I am here to tell you the dude is back in a big way. Lean, mean and humble with ridiculous chops, the Swede is here to remind you what made him famous. Two weeks later, I am asking myself how this is possible at 58 yoa...he looks 35. Do not miss his show-it is a must see.
By the way, an intelligent interview with great chemistry. Easily one of the best I have seen in years with Yngwie. Thanks!!
I hate it when people say Yngwie is an arrogant jerk. Every interview I've ever seen him he is a sweet guy
We always love chatting with Yngwie.
Well everyone is a little arrogant when they're young. If you're not you're not in a band. đ€đ
I think he's still narcissistic and somewhat arrogant, he's just learned how to hide it better and keep it in check. He's still a great guitarist though.
Well yes, he single handedly created a highly influential genre of guitar playing, has sold millions of records during his lifetime, sold out stadiums in his 20s, and was arguably the most revered/feared guitarist during his prime. Hell, if I was a teenager and had that magical bona-fide rockstar combination, I'm sure it would have messed with my head a little bit, no less because the rockstar environment during the time leaned towards the excess anyway (just look at any 70s and 80s rockumentary). Even Steve Vai said somewhere that he was also young and arrogant to an extent at the time.
He certainly looks like he's mellowed down a lot. No doubt deep inside he's a nice guy, and it really is nice to see him bring that out nowadays.
I absolutely agree

That was an incredible story about the Russian shows. Kudos to the interviewer there, he knew his shit
Fantastic props to the interviewer - one of the best I've ever seen!
Thanks guys, it's always a lot of fun chatting to Yngwie.
best interview Ive seen ..he seems to open up a little more when theres a skilled interviwer with good questions.
This is the the most interesting interview/conversation with Yngwie Iâve ever seen!
This was by far THE most amazing interview with Yngwie, like EVER!!!
Great interview. I remember watching the Leningrad concert guitar solo when I bought the VHS in 1990: still remains, for me, one of the most astonishing uses of the electric guitar ever. Also, I love Yngwie's cover album, 'Inspiration'. Even the artwork is amazing: stormy night, ancient ruined Doric columned temple, and a rainbow!
Yngwie is so awesome. The master of guitar! Thanks for this great interview
I saw Yngwie play on 3rd July 2014 in Los Angeles. To this day, one of the craziest concerts I have been to.
What a legend. (stupid comment but that word comes to my mind every time I listen to him)
Yngwie's new album is fantastic and aggressive, Yngwie is like a family member to me only much more influential, for 30 plus years my entire life had his music as a soundtrack, not to mention if it wasn't for Yngwie i'd never pick up a guitar i am certain of it. The interviewer looks and sounds like young Doogie White.
I wish I had Doogie's talent đ
@@JonathanGrahamMusic My God, you just said it!! That's the very same thought that bumped into mind as soon as I saw him!!đđȘđȘđžđ„â€đđđ
I always find it interesting and fascinating to listen to Yngwie Malmsteen talk.
Man! Yngwie its a very carismatic guy! This interview its far one of the best that I ever seen... The questions are deep, even the chemistry between Jonathan and Yngwie are amazing! And man the history of his father... Oh man, Amazing!! The entire interview its amazing! We need more of the maestro.. Well, more is more actually hahaha... Thanks for sharing this!
Yngwie is such a legend. Thanks for watching and commenting. đ
So glad I got a chance to meet him very nice and down-to-earth.
Some years ago, watching him tour with all his Marshall stacks and playing a menacing Halloween theme...man, that was something else!!
I'm a simple man, I see and YJM interview, I click
Fantastic interview! Finally different questions and a totally different vibe. You need to do more interviews with him. Great to see him so jovial đ
Thanks! Did this one with him a few years back that you might like too czcams.com/video/aCmlvL-tO5I/video.html
Master Yngwie.... always has been.... always will be.
I read and heard a lot of interviews with Yngwie in the past. Here I learned some new aspects about him and his playing. Chapeau, Jonathan.
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!
I am really happy he is still around and producing music. Been a fan since Rising Force.
This is such a great interview Jonathan. This is the most Iâve seen Yngwie relaxed in an interview.
Great interview, nice to hear a prepared interviewer asking a bit different that the usual things. Hope you get credits when Yngwie makes a classical record đ
Thank you! đ
Brilliant interview Jonathan. Itâs easy to see you know your stuff and Itâs clear that Yngwie appreciates your thoughtful questions. Best interview with him on the tube apart from the last one you did with him. đ
Thank you, Digby. That means a lot, I really appreciate you watching (both vids) and taking the time to comment. More questions left over for a part 3 once Yngwie returns to the UK đ
@@JonathanGrahamMusic Great Jonathan I just can't wait for that to happen...ASAP! YNGWIE , please đđȘđȘđžđ„đ„âïžđreturn to the UK đŹđ§where we are!đ„đžđžđȘđȘâ€â€â€đđđ
Great interview! Having been an Yngwie fan since the 80s Iâm often bored hearing interviewers direct him to the same old stories and responses but this was refreshingly different. Youâre obviously a big fan and found the perfect balance here. Loved your reference to the Inspiration album. Brilliant LP but one of the appeals to this is the amazing vocal contributions from the guests. Iâll always love Yngwie and while I enjoy bits of the new record I still crave the older stuff with the great singers. Thanks for the interview though ... brilliant.
One of the most charismatic and powerful artists i've ever seen live in concert. Amazing energy.
His shows are truly unforgettable.
Yngwie called Jonathan âbroâ đcool.
Thanks for this great Interview ! Probably the best and most interesting Yngwie Malmsteen's interview I've heard in a long time. Congrats keep it up đ
Thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic interview to Ywj Malmsteen The Great.
He must have mellowed with age. His comes across so mellow and friendly these days.
Great interview. Can't wait to hear Parabellum.
This was an excellent interview with Yngwie. Great work Jonathan!
Glad you enjoyed it Nils, thanks for watching and commenting đ
Thank you for watching, and the kind words.
Itâs great to know he is doing awesome and still staying busy ,I wish he asked him how he is doing on his health, We have lost many a great and iconic players lately it seems
What a great interview. Thanks for this great questions too. Yngwie rules! What a nice bloke.
Thanks for a great interview! Good questions đ I would love to hear inspiration 2 ...
One of the best Yngwie interviews ever... Thanks Jonathan \m/ !!!!
Thank you for watching, and the kind words.
Finally, some one asking different intelligent questions. Great interview Jonathan, and to you as well Yngwie.
Thank you for watching, and the kind words. đ
Yngwie seems to respond really well to a thoughtful interviewer. He comes across as a really cool guy throughout.
One of the best interviews with Yngwie that's ever been done. Great jobđ
Yngwie du e gryyym đžđžđȘ
More is more!
Always
So exited about the new album and his singing is fkn amazing
Yngwie is absolutely right by telling to improvise the solos for recording
thats the way to give the full heart and not the head into the solos,
im always doing it this way and what he says about it and also the listening and doing them again is absolutely correct!he can be so wonderful honest in some interviews, he is telling often my thoughts, this is so stunning!
Greetings from Germany,
KREUZZER!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking it out.
âVivaldi is great everything he did was great.â - Yngwie Malmsteen
Vivaldi is Absolutely my favourite Classical - Baroquean Master !!
Informative and insightful interview. Greetings from Melbourne Australia!
Great interview by someone who knows the subject, who probably likes Yngwie's music and asks interesting questions
Thanks for watching. Yes, big fan of Yngwie since the '90s
For a guy everyone says is arrogant and egocentric. He's far more interesting and interactive with the interviewer than most any other guitarists I've seen.
My thoughts exactly!
He really mellowed out in the recent years. At the same time I don't blame him. Imagine coming to the United States when you're young in the 80s and you are a claimed as the best guitarist. I would talk shit for sure lol.
@@efwfew he was? What year did they say that about him in
@@joshmuz9018 I don't recall any official thing but when he released his first solo album it was a bit of a thing that he was considered the best guitarist at that time. I still believe that in 84-88 he was the best guitarist, amazing player. Too bad about his car accident, he wasn't the same after.
Edit: I checked rising force won best rock album (i guess for that year) and was nominated for a grammy but didn't win. Safe to say that anybody that plays guitar would be completely dumb to not have any respect for him. Rising force was a game changer.
yep I was just thinking he seems happy to talk very sincere in this interview.
Yngwie is CANDID ,That's why i love yngwie . 62 Marshall to a Neive preamp into an Apollo . tells it like it is .
what a great interview!!!! at last something different from yngwie besides the well-known stuff we heard a million times :)
much respect for jonathan. yngwie is a down to earth very funny and intelligent dude who always knows what he wants in a second. that's why many people don't understand him. i know this first hand because i'm like him
Man, I don't want to turn this off! But I can't afford to go to work unless I go to work, so off I go! The comments on improvisation are gold. I'm a visual artist, not a musician, but I can so relate to a one off approach. Great interview!
What an amazing interview - what a great guy !
đ
Great Interview!!! Awesome anecdotes like the origen of "More is More" and how he got the gigs in URSS.
Great interview, thank you!
Amazing interview, good chemistry between the 2 man. Yngwie is intelligent not arrogant. Intelligent people are often misunderstood. I love this man and he looks amazing. I am 4 years older and can tell you thats the truth. Great Great guitarist. I do love Bach too.
Great interview, Jonathan. Thank you.
The background story on his Soviet "incursion" is one of the most fascinating I've ever heard, thanks for that. I cannot remember having seen a more interesting interview with him, honestly... well done.
Thanks for checking it out. đ
That Russian story involving his dad is quite interesting.
brilliant interview, thank you for not asking the same old questions everyone always does.
yngwie seemed pleased and very pleasant too.
One of the best Yngwie interviews
AND his dad was 007 material, WHO got him some gigs behind the iron curtain. He seems down to earth. When you can peel off casual Paganini style runs and chat, that's not natural..
Always like listening to yngwie nice interview
Always great to hear Yngwie talk about his playing & music....Instant composition is an interesting way to describe his soloing. As for the less is more/ more is more debate whenever I hear the movie AMADEUS (1984) with Mozart when I hear that clown say...'Too many notes Mozart,,,just lose a few' I always laugh thinking of these people who try to criticize Yngwie ....What they don't understand is that Yngwie's speed is part of his EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION thru his instrument .....Restrict that with someone prescribing how many notes to play & you'd be restricting his emotional expressiveness....Very Good question asking him about hearing himself on tape for the first time.....What Yngwie describes is exactly what I felt when hearing myself back on tape ....Same urge to make it sound better all the time....I remember hearing that when he was young Yngwie used to work in a guitar workshop actually carving scalloped fingerboards....He was very much into modifying his instrument like ED (EVH) was.....When he was a kid before he carved out his own path as a player his natural ear was so good that on MADE IN JAPAN album he could take Blackmore's guitar off the right channel of the vinyl stereo player & Reproduce note for note EXACTLY what was originally played on there so his mates couldn't tell the difference. He would say...Actually, its ME not Ritchie , & they'd go 'Dont believe you, you're nuts' ! ..lol...But it WAS Yngwie......Though great at what he does I don't think Ritchie could reproduce some of the technical stuff Yngwie does though...omg...lol
I recall a soviet sub parlaying through ytre arne Norway as the air raid sirens went off as a kid living there . little did I know , yngwie was doing his thing as a kid next door in sweden.
YNGWIE wow! G3- Satriani,Vai,... then that moment happens when you hear Malmsteens guitar...WOW!!! I like the way Zakk said it , "the best of the best were all benching 4-500lbs. and YNGWIE came in benching 1200 lbs. yeah... It's a great time to be alive! TKS YJM
I love Yngwie's music since i first heard it back in '85... and that was the first time i ever heard Alcatrazz No parole..., Rising Force 1st album and even Steeler...so it was all at once and then Marching Out and Trilogy the year after etc. With that said, i've known his albums one after another, some i like them more and some i like them slightly less. Him singing all the songs is something i still don't understand when you have so many great singers in your past and available but that's him, that's the way he likes it now, and that's how it will be in the future i guess. Anyway good interview.
Thanks for Sharing đ«
Great Interview,
Be Blessed:âĄ

Very good interview. Thanks.

Yngwie itâs always welcome on my CZcams feed!âŠ
Hell yeah!
Crackin' interview!!! \m/
Fantastic interview!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome interview
Great interview. The Russian story was crazy!
Excellent, down to earth interview, thanks.
Great interview, not the regular questions!!
Great interview
Question to Gi that I've been wondering about. At what stage did Yngwie start routinely using economy picking (beyond the obvious use within sweeps)? I'm not sure on his earliest stuff he was doing it, but he certainly was by a certain point, any ideas at what point? Or was he in fact doing it from the start (in terms of his recorded output)?
Finally someone who asks him the right stuffđđ
If you have a chance again to ask him a question, I'd like to know, who strings and sets up all his stash of guitars at home?
cool Interview, i really enjoyed it! Greetz from Germany!
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome interview!
Thanks JP
Great interview!đ„đ
đđ
Jonathan mighty credit to u best interview bar none:)
Thank you for watching, and the kind words.đ
Great interview đ„
Thank you đ
this was a cool interview!!
Thanks for watching đ
Good questions, man!!!
Hes just a lad honestly. Love the guy
I so wish Yngwie went back into proper production. Parabellum is not bad, but honestly, it would be a masterpiece if it had the vocals and production of let's say Magnum Opus or Seventh Son.
Real drums too
Oh, god! Yes, real drums and some better bass playing.
