WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

"Ing-vay! Ing-vay! Ing-vay!"

Posted over 3 years ago
When I was too young to know what the fuck was going on, my dad took me to see Yngwie Malmsteen at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha, Nebraska. He came out and sat on a stool facing AWAY from the audience and said he wasn't going to play until everyone chanted his name correctly. "Its pronounced Ing-vay!" he pleaded. And the crowd obliged. I recently saw their official bootleg and at one point in the set he leaves the stage for a few minutes and then argues with the keyboard player. Special features consist of the band members ranting about how much shit Yngwie pulls. Now, for being such a pretentious cock, I'd like to say that the guy in this video plays Yngwie better than Yngwie plays Yngwie. So eat that, Yngy!

  1. 82times says That story is very good; your dad *ROCKED*. Yngwie's Ibanez skillz trump any youtube poser any day, though. He was like the evil genius in the WWF parallel world of rock guitar virtuosos. Joe Satriani was the good guy. Steve Vai was the bad guy that got lots of chicks. Marty Friedman and Jason Becker were wily the tag team champions. you have to check out the picture of Jason Becker kissing his own axe on "wikipedia":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Becker

  2. earthbound says Shortly after that picture was taken, Becker made love to the guitar, utilizing his Vai-esque integrated "handle".

  4. earthbound says I've seen The Melvins, Marilyn Manson, GWAR, Ani DiFranco, Machine Head and Type O Negative there, and plenty more that don't come to mind at the moment. An awesome, intimate venue. It was pretty cool to bowl and eat at Arby's with Slymenstra Hymen before the GWAR show!
