Guilty Pleasures
Guitar World, April 2004
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN
SONG
"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"
ABBA
Voulez-Vous
Atlantic, 1979
"I love this song, which is just one of many ABBA songs that I like. I really like the flute arpeggio, and the craftsmanship of the chord structures and the melodies on this tune are ridiculously good."
BOOK
The Damnation Game
By Clive Barker
Putnam, 1987
"This book is outrageously sick. I've read it three times! I mean, I love Stephen King -- he's a fuckin' genius -- but Clive Barker is a monster. That dude is demented. The song 'Razor Eater,' from my latest album, Attack!!, is the name of a character from this book."
MOVIE
Alien
Directed by Ridley Scott
Twentieth Century Fox, 1979
"Up until Alien, all science-fiction movies, like Star Wars, were so fuckin' corny. What struck me about Alien was that it revolved around real people in a real situation. It didn't seem like a science-fiction movie. Lots of filmmakers have tried to copy this movie but have fallen short. Alien was -- and still is -- one of the scariest movies ever made. It never gets boring."
