Yngwie Malmsteen Lyrics

Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerbäck on 30 June 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Malmsteen became known for his neo-classical playing style in heavy metal. Steve Huey of Allmusic stated that, "Yngwie Malmsteen is arguably the most technically accomplished hard rock guitarist to emerge during the '80s."

Malmsteen was born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerbäck in Stockholm, Sweden, the third child of a musically-talented family.

Malmsteen has stated that Jimi Hendrix had no musical impact on him and didn't contribute to his style, but the fact of watching at age seven the September 18, 1970 TV special where Hendrix smashed and burned his guitar made Malmsteen think: "This is really cool".
