2000 yrs from now, those cds/cd players will def. still be working, oh yeah. i can't help but imagine those giant guitars outside Hard Rock Cafes sticking out of the ground half-buried, like the Statue of Liberty in "Planet of the Apes"

Yngwie: Very well put. Yes, that is how I look at it. Mozart wrote a lot of operas.
No shit!

Also, in 7th Grade my Guitar Nerd friend John thought Yngwie was the G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T. I don't know if he owned anything, though.

The 10,000,000,000 note solo career that came next has been unlistenable. But you have to hand it to the guy -- he can play those major scales (see above) FAST. It's like having a 15" dick and then being interviewed about it -- like he's Obi Kenobi or something.

YM: I am detached from everything. I'm not part of anything. I'm not part of heavy metal. I'm not part of guitar heroism. I'm not part of anything at all. In fact, I'm not from the same planet. I am completely detached from everything.

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."

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.
