Modern Guitars Feature Editor Rick
Landers sent us this link to a very cool interview with Yngwie recently:

August 21, 2005
Well, things have quieted down a bit since
the end of Yngwie's European Unleash the Fury Tour, but that doesn't mean he
hasn't been busy. Recently he's been in New York, and on the phone, doing
promotions for the USA release of UTF. Keep on the lookout for a bunch of
magazine articles and features in the near future. Watch for a major feature
story from Guitar Player, and pick up the October 2005 "Swedish Metal
Invasion" issue of Revolver, where senior writer Joe Lalaina gets Yngwie
to reveal his picks for the Best/Worst of movies, food, places to tour, and so
on. Yngwie's choice of best movie may surprise you (no, it isn't
Re-Animator).
Yes, Yngwie will be touring the USA, and yes,
the band will be playing more songs from Unleash the Fury. No, we don't
have the schedule yet, so please bookmark the
Touring
page where we will upload all the dates and venues as soon as we get
them confirmed from the management!
We've made some updates to the Ask Yngwie! page HERE.
There's a new Yngwie forum you may want to check out:

Getting the
Recognition He Deserves
In the April 2005 issue of Guitar
Player, Yngwie's "Rising Force" debut is listed as one of the 101 Greatest
Moments in Guitar History. Here's the write up... "You could make a case that
Yngwie Malmsteen's moment came when he appeared in the spotlight column in the
February '83 issue of GP. But the first time most guitarists heard him
was on his solo debut the following year. And the tune that knocked them down
was "Far Beyond the Sun." Shred just doesn't get any shreddier."
Amen to that! Thanks to Dave Moore for the
tip.
Guitar One magazine has published a
list of the "Top 10 Shred Albums of All Time" in its February 2005 issue.
According to the magazine's editors, "arpeggio for arpeggio, these 10 albums
strike the finest balance between tasteful melody (ahem) and 'no way did he
just play that!'"
Guitar One's "Top 10 Shred Albums of
All Time":
1. YNGWIE MALMSTEEN – "Rising Force"
2. Racer X – "Live: Extreme Volume"
3. Vinnie Moore – "Mind's Eyye"
4. Tony McAlpine - Edge of Insanity"
5. Steve Vai – "Passion and Warfare"
6. Joe Satriani – "Surfing With the
Alien"
7. Shawn Lane – "Powers of Ten"
8.. Michael Lee Firkins – "Michael Lee
Firkins"
9. Cacaphony – "Speed Metal Symphony"
10. Greg Howe – "Greg Howe"

Wanna Learn to
Play Paganini?
The Virtuoso Issue of Guitar World
(April 2005) has a lesson for you, straight from Yngwie himself! You'll also
find a cool Tune-ups featurette on Yngwie's new album.
Introducing this issue, Editor-in-Chief Brad
Tolinski says, "To help kick-start this trailblazing trend, Guitar World
has devoted this special issue to these gutsy virtuosos. Vai, Zakk Wylde, Joe
Satriani, Gary Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen are among the familiar faces
featured. Even in the deepest, darkest days of grunge and nu-metal, these five
master players kept the fret fires burning bright. It's only fitting that we
pay homage to them and their new projects."

Touring
Info
It seems like we have been inundated with
requests from around the world for information about Yngwie's touring plans.
So.... here's what we know so far. YES, he will go on tour in 2005 to promote
his upcoming album (see news entry below). NO, I have no idea which countries
he will visit or when the tour will begin (after the album is released,
obviously).
The best thing you can do (which will save me
having to e-mail each person who asks individually) is to BOOKMARK the
Touring page and watch for updates.
Thanks!
