Malmsteen!!!! I saw him live back in the early 80's. I had no fucking idea who he was but my pals let me in the concert for free so I could write a review for the news service.
I walk in, the place was packed. Lighters lit all over the place and people still had big hair in them days.
Malmsteen got on the stage and tore that guitar up solo. Had no rhythm whatsoever but he ripped into that guitar til it sounded like cat-skinnin'-hell.
I'll never forget the look on one dude's face, he knew I was from the newspaper and he turned to me with that 'I have just seen god' look on his face and said,
"Yngwie Malmsteen Rules!"
Dude was fucking hypnotized by Malmsteen. No fights in the crowd ( like with Eric Burden or Iggy Pop ) just people who really loved Malmsteen to the point all they did was just listen to him play.
Quite the virtuoso to say the least.
