thread for discussion of guitarists i have only heard of because i read guitar magazines in the late 90s

I thing Ygngwie's passion for his whole deal is sometimes misread as condescension when he's just geeked. he's also legendarily hard to deal with but I love to hear him talk shop and yes "here's my strat collection. you have to be a fiend to tell them apart" is amazing and when he talks about his sound at the end...that rules

Pretty sure that’s Fabio

That's an awesome interview. I don't listen to Yngwie often but when I'm in the mood for that kind of thing, there's no one better. Perpetual Flame, the album he made in 2008 with Ripper Owens on vocals, is a really good late-career release.
