It's funny you should criticize Yngwie while plugging Steve Vai. I think both are great technical players, but absolutely soul-less. Still gotta admire Malmsteen for taking a stand though.
"I don't give a fuck if I ever play your peasant infested third world city again. God bless America.” God Bless You, Yngwie.
Uh, the quote "I don't give a f..." was from Derek Sherinian, not Yngwie. But both of them are awesome!
