Ok. Malm can play. So can Steve Van, though. We proved that a few records ago. Is there any need for a band to play with him on this? Is he just taking his chops out for a walk?
Is this worth your eartime?

Oh…

Oh…yes he can play.

This….this…is…remarkable.



I have not too many more words. You will either out your headphones on full blast and let Yngwie melt your ears or you’ll look on it as a piece of pretentious self-aggrandizing. I’m not sure there’s a middle ground. For me, it is extraordinary.
