Bio:
Yngwie Johan Malmsteen (/ˈɪŋveɪ ˈmɑːlmstiːn/ ING-vay MAHLM-steen; born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck, 30 June 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Malmsteen became known for his neo-classical playing style in heavy metal.Yngwie J. Malmsteen arrived on the scene in 1983 when he emigrated to America from his native Sweden. Malmsteen created a style - an ear-searing blend of metal bombast and classical beauty that is one of the most immediately recognizable of ALL guitarists. He elevated classical chops to new heights, adding a definite European stamp both dark-sounding and blindingly fast."I've been exposed to classical music since I was five years old," says Yngwie, who was born in Stockholm on June 30, 1963. "My mother listened to Bach so much, and I grew to really love his music. Bach's chord progressions and melodies are the most beautiful things ever written."My family was very musical," he adds. "My sister played flute and piano and my brother played guitar, drums, piano, violin, and accordian. My father even played guitar."Malmsteen maintains that his biggest classical influence is 19th-century violin virtuoso Nicolo Paganini. "I was in my early teens the first time I heard his music," recalls Yngwie," and he's been my idol ever since. I got turned on to him through a Swedish TV show. A Russian violinist was playing some Paganini stuff on the program, and I freaked. I quickly put a portable tape recorder in front of the TV to get it on tape. When I found out later what the guy was playing, I went out and bought Paganiniâs "24 Caprices," which is my all-time favorite thing to listen to."Thatâs how I wanted to play guitar. He did with his instrument what few have ever come close to doing. He was a rock and roller-very wild and very extreme."Yngwie's work overflows with classically influenced playing. His Grammy-nominated debut solo album, "Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force," is regarded by many as the definitive document of neoclassical rock guitar."Those compositions ["Black Star" and "Far Beyond the Sun"] sort of sum up my style," says Yngwie. "There are fast runs, slow harmonies, and some really nice arpeggios in them. Those songs are like icons for me. I'll probably play them until the day I die."Malmsteen first picked up a guitar on September 18, 1970-the day Jimi Hendrix died. "Hendrix did inspire me to play," Yngwie affirms, "but I was more influenced by his image than his music. He looked so cool and was a fantastic performer."Says Yngwie: "I don't think anyone can actually teach someone how to play guitar. The desire should come from inside. Guitar is at a stage where one has to do oneâs own nnovations. Playing electric guitar is not like playing classical violin, which has been around for hundreds of years. To play classical violin, one has to be taught the specific skills needed to perform that particular kind of music. Once you get past the basics needed to play guitar, the rest is up to you."Guitarists with mind-boggling technique can be quite boring on stage, but Malmsteen impresses as well as entertains. He is always in constant motion, whether playing his Stratocaster with his teeth or twirling it around his body.

What more can we possible say about Yngwie J. Malmsteen, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, that hasn't already been said? We can say…'We want more!'... and the maestro has delivered. It is about time that he dropped a good live album on us. It has been 12 years since his last live album, CONCERTO SUITE FOR ELECTRIC GUITAR AND ORCHESTRA IN E FLAT MINOR WITH THE NEW JAPAN PHILHARMONIC. If you don’t really count that as a part of Yngwie’s ‘Metal’ canon then it has been 16 years since his last Double Live album simply entitled, LIVE!! He has released eight studio albums since then so he has a lot of ground to cover.Overall, SPELLBOUND-LIVE IN TAMPA is Yngwie’s fourth live album. He has recorded live albums in Russia, Brazil, Japan and finally now in his homeland of America. The show was recorded live on the last night of the American leg of his 2013 Spellbound Tour, in Tampa, Florida on May 26th, 2013. The packaging is OK, but not great; not much information, no lyrics, and not many pictures or info about who was on stage that night. My version is the Japanese import so the info is probably there in the Japanese booklet. The CD cover is great, a live shot of Yngwie on stage striking an iconic pose.The track-listing is very well done, he plays songs from 13 of his 19 albums and does not neglect his new albums, playing songs from five of the last six studio albums, skipping only the acoustic one. The amount of song duplication is also kept to a minimum. In fact, there are only nine out the 30 songs that have appeared on his three previous live albums.What I really liked about this is that Yngwie sings on many of the songs. It is very interesting to hear his deeper, rougher vocals on some of those classic songs that had vocalists who had higher, clearer voices. Yngwie is technically not as good a singer as the people he has hired in the past, which is an alumni list that reads like a whose who of the elite Power Metal singers of all time. However, he does a good job. Another standout point is the drumming of Patrick Johansson (ex- Stormwind). Patrick has been behind Yngwie’s kit for 12+ years now and he is probably the most technically proficient (best?) drummer that Yngwie has ever had. In the live concert he adds some real fire to many of the songs adding fills, rolls and cymbal work that were not on the original versions.Yngwie’s playing has never been better. This album will silence all the critics who say he cannot replicate his studio playing in a concert. The album opens with a one-two-three triple high-speed attack of ‘Rising Force’, ‘Spellbound’ and ‘Demon Driver’ His version of ‘Far Beyond The Sun’ with the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ integrated at the end sent shivers done my spine. Then he busted out his acoustic guitar for some amazing solo work and that blends seamlessly into one of his big 80’s ballads, ‘Dreaming’ which in a nice twist drops, ever so briefly, into a reggae beat! The pacing and sequencing is marvelous. The sound is also very clear and the crowd noise at a nice level, giving it a live feel but not overwhelming loud.This could be the best Yngwie live album in terms of overall quality. By that I mean, his first live album was very ‘song-heavy’ in his early days. His second live album was also very focused on songs (only 16 of them!) and the band at the time. His third live album was with the Japanese orchestra, which essentially was one piece of live music and while amazing was not really ‘Metal’ at all. Unlike the other two previous ‘Metal’ live albums, Yngwie incorporates much more of his neoclassical style and more instrumentals, into the set-list giving it a more diverse feel and tone. I feel that in terms of metallic quality, song selection, solos, incorporating the hits, and just the sheer amount of material covered from his career, SPELLBOUND-LIVE IN TAMPA is his best live album.Album recorded with The Studio 308 Mobile Truck.
