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

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!
