The Details: Yngwie Is God! Well, at least that was what one of my friends told me so many years ago and he is a guitar player so likely knows this a little better than a drummer like me would. Nevertheless, I have greatly enjoyed this master musicians output for decades and was super excited at the chance to offer my readers this contest thanks to the fine folks at Livenation. Check out how you can see his concert at Irving Plaza for free…….

Label: Rising Force Records

It’s been almost three years since The Big Apple has been able to enjoy a live performance from guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen, and since that last time a number of dramatic changes have taken place in the musician’s career.

The second biggest change would come when the guitarist chose to replace long time singer Doogie White with the one and only Tim “Ripper” Owens and begin working on a new smoldering release that would be entitled “The Perpetual Flame”. “The Perpetual Flame” would be a special release for other reasons outside of it continuing to remind the music fans about just why we love Yngwie’s playing so much and even about the fact about Ripper being a part of it.

It was a bold move but we can learn more about that at a later date, for now let’s just go over how amazing tonight’s show was in the event that you somehow missed out on it.
