I wanted to see the host dump a glass of water on him, just so I could hear "Unleash the fooking fury!".

Hah, that was actually pretty awesome.

I'd love to jam with the man.

And get severely schooled.

The host isn't a total hack. He does some faux-shredding at the end.
I think he and Yngwie would have sounded better together if their two guitars were in tune with each other. I can't believe they'd do a TV show and not plug in to an electronic tuner and make sure they're both tuned up first.

Yeah. Yngwie is clearly in Eb (as he always is); could've just played half a step up, or the other guy tuned down.

Eb over E (or E over Eb) is the jazziest of all the polytonalities. All the notes are 'outside', creating the most wonderful tension ... and of course the release, the resolution, is magnificent.

Introduce some microtonal bends and it comes to life even more.

I love harmonic concepts.

In metal, we would call that a Slayer solo .

Indeed, Dr Crusty, though not everyone will appreciate this . Certainly not the crowd for which this little segment was aimed at.

Lol, right! F*** diatonic rules .

Actually, that video raised Yngwie in my estimation. He actually came off as a guy with a sense of humour about himself and his image. I get tired of the brooding artist thing.
