CONQUERS malmsteen. GO CHECK OUT HIS SHIT!! HE RULES!! he can use so
many more techniques and tricks that Yngwie NEVER executes. ROMEO IS
THE KING!

You sound like you're comparing circus dogs or acrobats... it's about the
music, not about whether he can eat fire while sweep picking.

What Do you listen to: Music or "tricks" & "techniques"?
There are Thousands of "guitarists" who could show you a lot of tricks and
play faster than Yngwie.

Just one thing: Can they CREATE MUSIC ???
How GOOD are they in WRITTING SONGS???

wow! you can use 541 techniques.Now lets see if you can put them
togetherand compose a REAL song, like Yngwie does.There are lots of
guitar players that can play faster than Yngwie.The thing that U are
foretting is that he puts his songs together beautifullyAny guitarist
can play fast, or sweep pick, the trick is that if U slow your solo
down, will it still make sense? Yngwie's does. If U cant do that, then U
are defeating the purpose.What U have to figure out is what your purpose
is.To play fast and show everyone your "tricks" or to play fast, and
still have it fit the paramaters of the song?Please figure that out for
us all.Who the hell is Symphony X anyway? Thanks for listening to me.

Michael Romeo, Michael-Angelo, Vinnie Moore, Chris Impelliterri, Tony
MacAlpine, etc...etc...etc...they are all the same.showing us there
"TRICKS" as you call them(If you call constant fucking speed a trick).
Never showing us any talent, songwriting ablities, phrasing, etc...Just
another name to the very large kettle of Yngwie wannabes.Thanks.

Impellitteri and Vinnie Moore don't belong in this list. They're not at all
about constant speed. They write great songs and there's nothing amiss with
their phrasing. Vinnie Moore's sound is completely different from Yngwie's.
Sure, there are stylistic similarities, but you can't lump all these players
together as "Yngwie wannabes." Music aside, they don't have enough jewelry,
frilly shirts, and stretched to the limit leather and spandex to be "Yngwie
wannabes"! (at least not Impellitteri and Vinnie Moore)

The thing about Mike Romeo is that he does write some
pretty descent songs with Symphony X. He's certainly
several cuts above Vinnie Moore, Impelliteri, McAlpine
etc in that department. Of course not relying on castrato
vocalists to sing those songs like Yngwie does gives him
a definite advantage. Maybe if Yngwie would give up on
all those girly-men vocalists and get a real man a la
David Coverdale to sing his songs, they wouldn't sound
so bad. Get with the times, Yngwie. Those high pitched
vocals went out of style with big hair and spandex.

Who cares if they are "out of style"? They fit with the music, and besides, as
I have heard before, sometimes it is better to be timeless than timely. This
certainly applies to Yngwie. You want him to get a singer like Korn or someone
just to move with the times? I think not.

You know, this argument is lame. "It's about the music" is the favorite
excuse fans of Kurt Cobain and the like use to defend their idols. It sounds
like you really think Romeo is better than Malmsteen but don't want to admit
it.

Well, we _are_ talking about Yngwie Malmsteen here... ;-)

Why would getting someone like David Coverdale solve the problem (if you
wanna call it a problem)? He's certainly done more than his share of
"castrato" vocals. And do you _really_ want Yngwie to "get with" times
like _these_??? Or would you rather have some Baggy Beige Buzzcut Guy
(who'd be AT LEAST as much of a poser as anything the Sunset Strip
produced) singing about "mah heald" ("my head") and rocking back and forth
like a nervous four-year-old?? As far as I'm concerned, all this shit
about "girly-men" and "real men" is a big part of the problem with our
times. It takes serious balls to be a "girly-man."

I tell ya, even some people who claim to put the music first don't. (What
hath Metallica wrought?) Feh!

The only problem in getting David Coverdale into Yngwie's band is getting
David
to sing the lyrics Yngwie wants him to sing. David's a great singer, he just
does'nt fit the dungeons and dragons singing. Dio would be a more apposite
choice!
