Anyone else dig Yngwie?

In my opinion he's just about the greatest guitar player in the world Post your fav songs.

I'm kinda partial to Icarus' Dream Suite myself...

What's not to like??? He's awesome!

Not quite up there with Stevie Ray Vaughan... But then again, who is?

Like some of his music but not all. IMHO he is like a lot of the 80's guitarists and his solos tend to end up sounding like an angry bumble bee. It's not about how many notes you can cram into a solo, it's about the feel and soul of the solo.

While Yngwie is an excellent player that has mastered a number of techniques and proven himself a capable player, he has made himself appear brash and arrogant, which has turned a number of people off from buying his albums. I used to listen to him religously in the early 90's along with Joe, Steve, and Eric.

Yngwie is alright, but my two guitar gods are Eddie Van Halen followed by Joe Satriani...
