MALMSTEEN MONDAY: YNGWIE’S “ARPEGGIOS FROM HELL”
Monday, April 7th, 2008 at 10:57am by Vince Neilstein“I call it ‘Arpeggios From Hell.’ And the reason for this is because it has the most… um, extreme arpeggios that I ever come up with!”
In awe that this video has 1.3 million views? Consider the Japanese sub-titles. And make sure you stay with it to catch Yngwie’s facial expression at the end.

Hey Ing-vay, we get that you play really fast. We get that you take classically inspired metal to a different level. We get it that you’re Ing-vay Fucking Malmsteen. Now write an interesting song you egotistical fuck. Cuz that’s something you’ve never done.
Right at the very end you can see that he is clearly looking for a sandwich.
I was just about to write what Sammy wrote, but I couldn’t capture his level of anger. Hats off.
The man can shred, but couldn’t write a tune to save his life.
And he needs a sandwich.
“Now watch as I ejaculate all over the fretboard. I am amazing, no?!”
the drum beat sounds like the got a chimpanzee drunk, hooked him up to a 250 hp fuck machine and handed him a pair of drumsticks.
It’s really not that hard to program a listenable drumbeat, Yngwie.
P.S. Chris Broderick laughs at your arpeggios from hell:

there used to be some HILARIOUS parodies of this on youtube but they’ve all been taken down because poor yngwie can’t stand that much abuse to his ego.
