FLASH OF TWO WORLDS
Yngwie Malmsteen meets John McLaughlin

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Friday, 2 September 2005 19:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I had the first 2 Rising Force albums! In mitigation, I was 14.

Has anyone here ever owned or heard a Tony Macapline record?

David T. Chastain?

Marty Friedman solo album?

Stu Hamm?

Paul Gilbert?

Guy Mann-Dude?

I got a Joe Satriani VHS at a bag sale last week. ($2 for a grocery sack of paperbacks = I love the country). And I watched it. Amazing that this character had platinum albums, and played to HUGE crowds around 1991.

But as I've been saying for years: It's no stupider than the Xecutioners or Invisible Skratch Pickles or what have you. Pure technique largely abstracted from music and revered with Jedi-like intensity.

On the strength of "I'm not part of anything at all" I just d/l'd an Yngwie track called "Arpeggios from Hell" -- I recommend it. What's the opposite of pointless wankery? "Pointful wankery."

OTM.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Or "live drum'n'bass" (Amir Ziv etc). Same idea: music as a wowza circus act.

Hero and god. We had a promo ID of his at KLA. We then trashed it with editing and it became a popular comedy bumper.

This thread is the first thing that's made me laugh all day.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey, live drum n' bass can be great, and musical!

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not saying it can't be. But a lot of people come for the athletics.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, it is kind of funny how a guy like Jo Jo Mayer, as awesome as I think he is, embraced drum n' bass as a hip outlet for his fusion chopsterisms.

Jojo Mayer!

Holy moley -- first Jojo Mayer xpost in history!

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha!

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:39 (eighteen years ago) link

That picture doesn't do him any favors.

I don't know why he hasn't released a cd EVER, but the video on his site is ridiculous.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 2 September 2005 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I just d/l'd an Yngwie track called "Arpeggios from Hell" -- I recommend it.

Alright, I'm gonna give this guy exactly 2 minutes of my time. YSI it.

While we're setting up the listening booth, let me second someone else's admiration for the thread title.

...and produced Young Gods and Celtic Frost records.

Well, Norman Westberg of the Swans was also in an indie pop band called Sugartime, which was around in the year 1992.. featuring Jason Asnes (Nice Strong Arm), Rich J. Hutchins (Live Skull), and Robert Chamberlin (briefly in Pavement).

There was also another single on Ringer's Lactate.

Your puny threats... Fortunately, the truth is already on record at the Library of Congress. Future generations in 2000 years will remember this, when I am fucking dust! (Unless they purge the stacks every millenium)

Long live Mayhem!
