Well the Flame still burns as bright as it ever did, the Master Musician has riffed the Stratocaster into the Stratosphere.*
* *
*The album starts of with a nice classically influenced movement, then all hell is unleashed, with riffs and solo's flying from the fingers of Yngwie. The album is well and truly in flames by the time you get to the second track, and this is maintained throughout the whole musical journey that is Perpetual Flame.*
*Some notable changes come through the speakers by the time you get to /MAGIC CITY. The bluesy feel is enhanced by sitars and the whole psychedelic feel is mindblowing. This has to be without doubt one of the best tracks Yngwie has ever done, the pure Magic from the Wizards Fret board of ... Read More:

well... amazing...
i got it from amazon, came with bubble rap and invoice,
great condition

the music is stunning
he captured teh essence of renaissance, middle ages, 1600's music so met
the album isnt too short, its only 8 tracks a couple being around 6 to 8 minutes long
what i didnt like was teh lack of bass guitar sound in teh back ground, it kinda left out some effects, but i turned teh bass boost on, which helped.

the sogn with singing
... wellll
theyre ok, the riffs do sound like neo clasical/speed metal
and teh signign is loud and high pitched
but it seems they stuggled with the melody goign with teh lyrics.

but apart from this
this album will make ... Read More:

Fantastic songs, great guitar! Yngwie is a bit of a widdler and normally his solos all sound the same but on this album, for some reason, he pulled out all the stops and found MELODIES from somewhere! The songs are excellent, no filler whatsoever and the vocals superb. A once in a lifetime album, he's never come anywhere near repeating this gem.

As soon as I saw that this DVD was going to be released soon, it immediately made it to my 'must have' list! And now I finally have it in my hands and have watched it three times already.

The first thing that struck me was the amazing front cover artwork. I could sit down and watch the cover for hours. The menu artwork is inspired by the front cover artwork. Everytime you click on a menu item, the artwork animates, disappears and another artwork appears as the background to the submenu. The artwork on this DVD is simply brilliant and tastefully done.

The DVD itself is made of two of Malmsteen's most flamboyant live recorded concerts: Live in Japan 85 and Live In Leningrad 89. The first thing that amazes me is the audio visual quality. The remastered ... Read More:

i only bought this album because i heard a song called faultline once in a club, immediately the atmosphere picked up and everyone was dancing! its certainly a song to pull the birds to. because that song was so great with the deep riffs and lovely backing keyboards i was curious to see what the rest was like. yes, it was good but not quite as good as faultline but i guess theres some albums where if one song is superb it deserves a five star. what do you want is also another brilliant song with an emotional keyboard intro.

Yngwie's concert at Poole Arts Centre probably 16 years ago now was the first I'd taken my then 'budding guitarist' son to see. Without doubt, Malmsteen is the best showman rock has ever had since Jimi Hendrix, and this is a fine selection of his works, but there is really nothing better than seeing the man live in concert; it is where he excels, it is where he shines; so where is he now? Perhaps he became tired of having to throw the guitar around his back and catch it again and carry on playing, or throwing his guitar for the roadie to catch, or wearing the Hendrix-style military jacket, or smashing guitars up, or whatever? Perhaps he just became tired of the treadmill rock 'n' roll becomes?
It was only his classical music background which stopped him being Jimi Hendrix Mark II or ... Read More:

A marked return to form for the neoclassical speed wizard. At over 70 minutes, one might be forgiven for worrying that some of the tracks might feel like ones that should have been left out. Fortunately this is not the case; however much of the strength of this album only becomes apparent upon repeated listening.

I have been a fan of Yngwie's output for 20 years now, but not an uncritical one. Despite singlemindedly following his own musical direction since day one, there have been Malmsteen releases in recent years which have been far less rewarding than Unleash The Fury.

Personally, I'd recommend this as a great starting point for anyone unfamiliar with his work.

This album is a bit of paradox. Initially i found some of the songs on this album bawghingly terrible (Rise up, attack, MAD DOG, FREEDOM ISN'T FREE and in the name of god) but then one or two are just amazing (Touch the Sky, Majestic Blue and to a lesser extent Valhalla and Ship of Fools)

So why isnt this 3 stars? Because everytime i hear Majestic Blue, i have to crank the volume up and just lie back in my chair and pretend to be doing my university essays.

My biggest complaints are the loss of the neo classical pompousity. There is pompousity and arrogance (ofcourse, its Malmsteen!) but its not neo classical which for me was the biggest draw of Malmsteen. Even though he praises Vivaldi and Da Vinci in the album sleeve (see for yourself!) and Air has a borrowed Bach progression ... Read More:

Well this was my first Malmsteen cd,i thought the cover was cool and didn't have a clue who he was and someone i was teaching how to play said i mightlike him as i loved Randy Rhodes guitaring. So yeah lets put things into perspective here,it isn't a brand new release.it'd quite old, Malmsteen released his first album when he was 19 and he wa like 22 when he did this,you may believe there are much better songs out there but in the day back then this was really outstanding stuff.
The 3rd release has the best production of the first 3 albums,yeah it still had the dungeons and dragons style lyrics,but didn't dio do that for quite a while,and Blind Guardian still do,it aint a crime folks? We're of course going back to 1986 here when Metallica had just released Master Of Puppets and i was just 14!!!! ... Read More:

10.Yngwie Johann Malmsteen: Concerto Suite for Guitar and Orchestra in E Flat Minor With the New Japan [2002] (REGION 1) (NTSC) by: Yngwie Malmsteen

This is quite simply the most amazing piece of guitar playing I have ever seen. Yngwie is at his imperious best, playing his Fender Srat with the speed and precision of a virtuoso violinist. If you like any of Yngwie's music, you will not fail to be impressed by this staggeringly impressive concerto. And the orchestra isn't bad either. Roll on the sequel. Bravo. 100 stars. *****
