Actually it's "Wing-Nut". Or in some dialects "Ying-Yang" as in "Ying-Yang
Valve-Stem"...

I'm beginning to think that either Yngwie himself periodically
re-inserts this moronic thread to keep his name "out there", or,
alternatively, that its insertion is required of all members in the
by-laws of the "Yngwie is god" club.
C'mon, people! Can't we put this one in the FAQ and give it a rest?
Not that the above answer isn't a good one ;-),

Okay. I'm going to try a new approach here (and one that's obviously
alien to 90% of the contributers of this NG). I'm going to answer the
original question, without the obligatory bashing/flaming/or insults
which seem to be in vogue.
Yngwie is pronounced - Ing-vay.
Is it *possible* that others follow suit? Hmmm. Methinks I'm asking
too much.

you can pronounce it any way you want, as long as you say it *really*
fast with lots and lots of syllables.

How about "you're an asshole"? I don't even like Yngwie that much, but
that doesn't mean closed minded fools like you can tell people what
real guitar is.

Actually it's pronounced "Ingwee" (no matter how many people claim it's
"As***le"). But Yngwie changed the spelling from the original Swedish
when he moved to the US, to make it easier for English-speaking folks to
pronounce... The original spelling is "Yngve", pronounced "Ing-veh" as
close as I can get it in English.
Hey, Shred, you're right. This *is* a moronic thread.

I think the common pronunciation is "ING-VAY", but I think in
his native tongue it is pronounced "W-A-N-K-E-R."

Jeez. I saw it every single day for the last 5 months. And who said
that originality was lost in the newsgroups? Hmmm. I can't wait
until the alternative/grunge thing is dead and buried. I'll be the
first to author a series of Cobain bashing jokes.

Doesn't Yngwie rhyme with "Dick-Head" or Nit-Wit, or "I wanna be a
Deep Purple/Rainbow Clone!

You people suck!i bet you all would kill to have yngwies technical
skill.Just because you cant play blazing 64th note runs isnt yngwies
fault.
Hector
No, but the quote "Steve Morse has no fu**ing vibrato...he should be
playing fu**ing banjo" is undeniably his fault. Just remember, as you
wipe Yngwie's goo off your chin, that you can't keep people from knowing
*all* the truths you'd rather weren't true. That said, listen to whoever
you like. Be my guest. Personally, I'd suck *your* dick to play like
John McLaughlin. You can have Yngwie all to yourself.

The issue is He has an attitude problem, not that we can't or don't
want to play 64th notes, it's just that you can play one note & sound
as cool as a kazillion 64ths in a row.
Hype sucks! Music Talks!
mil...@dbeach.com
How do you know Yngwie has an attitude problem? Do you know him
personaly or is it something that you read somewhere? If there's
someone here in this news group that plays better than Yngwie, please
let me know, I'd like to here your latest CD and read what all the major
guitar magazines have to say about you!

The classic silly thread that comes along every few months. It serves
two purposes:
1. Argument among musicians about how Malmsteen is god, or that he
sucks.
2. Funny ways to mispronounce his name, as to ridicule his guitar
playing style.
I thank the author for not splattering this post all over the other
news groups.
clo...@wartech.com
Ah, give the guy a LITTLE credit. He makes tuneless noise with his fingers faster
than anyone I've heard in a while. By the way, it's not pronounced "Ying-Wee". I
say his name the French way "Oui-Oui" which, in American, is "Wee-Wee" :-)
Mats Stafström
>>>I think the common pronunciation is "ING-VAY", but I think in

>>>about a year ago...
Let愀 use the english word "very" to let you know how the swedish name
Yngwie is pronounced. Actually it愀 spelled Yngve but when Mr. Malmsteen
became international he wanted to be a little special so he changed it to
Yngwie. I also think he added an e in his surname which is usually spelled
Malmsten.
However, the "Y" in his name is pronounced like the last y in very,
the "ng", no problem, like in song,
and the last wie like the "ve" in very.
I have never seen anyone spell that name in any other way than Yngve
but since it愀 a rather silly name in Sweden, hardly anyone under 40 yrs is
called Yngve, I guess he wanted to spell in a cooler way.
There you扉e got your native tongue.(=Swedish)
