Yngwie J. Malmsteen

a horse circus, nothing more. always noting that the horses are much more spectacular. nonetheless, despite my disdain for his genre, his musical philosophy and lifestyle, and his passion for the Maranello speedsters, he has created something redeemable (see "Black Star" on the first album - expressiveness not entirely subservient to technique). as far as I'm concerned, it’s listenable - with a relative pain in the ass - until "Trilogy." then, nothing.
