Yngwie J Malmsteen
/Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force
With a technical genius second to none and the ability to play at mesmerising speed, Sweden's Yngwie J Malmsteen is without doubt one of the finest shredders ever.
Honed his skills in the early eighties with bands 'steeler' and 'Alcatrazz' before releasing his own solo album in 84'. With an ever changing line-up, Yngwie has boasted musician such as, lead vocalists Mark Boals and Joe Lynn Turner, bassist Bob Daisley, drummer Cozy Powell and keyboard sensation Jens Johansson. With a blend of lighteningly fast flamboyant gothic metal, Yngwie's been a big hit, especially in Europe and Japan.
