Yngwie Malmsteen

Among the more flamboyant chopsy-metal guitar technicians to emerge during the ’80s, Swedish shredder Yngwie Malmsteen found himself out of style when grunge supplanted flash in the ’90s, then courted parody in a string of self-important classical experiments in the next decade. But with the ’80s once again hip, perhaps Malmsteen's ostentatious pyrotechnics are newly in tune with the times. He plugs latest disc, Spellbound, tonight.
