YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Threatens To Kill Passenger On Flight - Dec. 9, 2002
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo, Japan after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist.
The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman.
A member of Yngwie's touring entourage, who was traveling with Malmsteen at the time, had a tape recorder running and managed to catch Yngwie's reaction on tape immediately after the guitarist was "assaulted" by the offended passenger.
And the mp3 of this tape can be downloaded here.

He can still regularly pull forty at the Crocodile in Allentown, easy. Iggy's main liability is that none of the forty buy his records. They go for one modern equiv of "the rassling bear" phenomenon.

He's finally realized shred metal is never coming back, not even in Japan and Germany, and now he's chasing that sweet Joe Bonamassa money.

― earlnash, Saturday, 2 February 2019 16:33 (five years ago) link
I've probably made more mistakes than anybody. But I don't dwell on them. I don't expect people to understand me, because I'm pretty complex, and I think outside the box with everything I do. I've always taken the untraveled path. Obviously, people have their opinions, but I can't get too wrapped up in that, because I know what I can do and I know what kind of person I am. And I have no control over what anybody says about me. Back in Sweden I'm 'Mr Personality' in the tabloids, but obviously I can't take that seriously. I know in my heart that if I do the absolute best I can do, maybe ten years from now people may turn around and say 'he wasn't that bad'.

his taste in Ferraris stuck in 80s Magnum PI era as well (video rolled into Yngwie, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde and Nuno Bettencourt playing Bohemian Rhapsody. Yngwie relatively restrained).

From his wiki page:
"As a teenager he was heavily influenced by classical music, particularly 19th century Italian virtuoso violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini, as well as Johann Sebastian Bach, a German multi-instrumentalist and composer of the 18th century."

It takes time to learn how to listen though. It’s not something one could pick up on first or second hearing

I like that he's described as a multi-instrumentalist first and a composer second.

the early Rising Force stuff is really pretty good Euro trad metal.... he really was astonishing, much better when he sticks to neoclassical

Yeah, his first three albums are really good, and the two recent ones with Ripper Owens on vocals are better than they had any right to be. But "Yngwie plays the blues" is an idea no one should have encouraged.
