Yngwie Malmsteen is one of rock's most respected and admired virtuoso guitarists. His jaw-dropping technique of lightning fast harmonic minor scalar riffing and soloing first came to attention of the music world at large when Malmsteen was just 21 years of age. Via his 1984 debut Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force, a neo-classical melodic workout in itself, he ushered in the golden age of shredding. Malmsteen soon became the new king of neo-classical hard rock a crown that was previously worn by Ritchie Blackmore, who himself had been an influence on Malmsteen’s guitar playing.Malmsteen’s style and technique went on to become a hugely influential force upon countless guitarists that soon followed in his wake. So it is with much anticipation that the rock guitar community will undoubtedly be looking forward to October when Yngwie Malmsteen issues his latest studio opus, Perpetual Flame. The album will also mark the debut on an Yngwie album by ex-Judas Priest and Iced Earth frontman, Tim "Ripper" Owens. Joe Matera recently sat down with Yngwie Malmsteen to discuss the new album, recording and his much documented reputation for being a difficult artist.
