| Actually, it's Yngwie Malmsteen (pronounced Invay)....and I read somewhere that he suffered partial paralysis after his accident; hence, his playing suffered and he retired from public performance |
Your right Starkers, but he did attempt 1 CD with his condition.. it wasnt very good and it didnt do well...
During his rise to fame one thing that he was known for was blazing speed and the ability to produce the "Tremolo" effect without using the bar..he pioneered "hollowing" out the fret board so that all he had to do was apply pressure to get the effect while "flying" through his "rifs" .. he was pretty amazing..poor performances or not..
And it is too bad... but, the accident could have been much more tragic..so in that regard, he's lucky.

| Little b*****d already plays better than I ever did.. |
Yeah, and I'm jealous too....never could play guitar, didn't start early enough....by the time the interest arose I had arthritic hands/fingers.
Know what I like though, can recognise talent when I see it....this kid's gonna go far, as has Nathan Cavallieri, an Aussie kid who began playing gigs with some big names around 11/12ish.Young Tasmanian guitarist by the name of Pete Cornelius cut his first album at 15, has opened for Steve Earle and others in the States.

A real shame, that! Malmsteen was fanstasic in his heyday...I've a collectors edition CD of his Leningrad concert in Russia, truly incredible stuff.
