Is there a guitarist named Yang Wei or Yang Wei?

1963 On June 30th, Lars John Ingway Lannerback was born in Stockholm, Sweden. This year, The Beatles just became famous in Liverpool, England. After 20 years, when the baby with brown hair grows up and sets foot on the land of Los Angeles Airport, a brilliant road to music will be officially rolled out.

Shortly after Ingway was born, his father, an officer, divorced his mother, an artist. Ingway is the youngest member of this single-parent family. His mother, Rigmore, his sister, Ann Louise, and his brother Bjorn all thought Ingewell (named after an old lover of his mother) was a wild child when he was a child, and he was very unruly. "Everything he does is wild."

Music, especially guitar, didn't attract the attention of young Ingrid at first. Earlier, he also tried to learn some pianos and trumpets, but they all started and ended. The acoustic guitar that his mother bought him on his fifth birthday has been hanging on the wall. It was not until September 1970 that the situation changed fundamentally. Ingway saw a special report on the death of guitarist jimi hendrix on TV that day, and his heart seemed to be touched. Seven-year-old Ingrid was surprised to see Hendricks playing like an addict, shocking the audience with huge feedback in front of the speaker, and finally burning the guitar, which made the young Ingrid find his own way. The day jimi hendrix died was the day guitarist Ingrid was born.

Ingway's original guitar was an old Mosrite piano, followed by a cheap Stratocaster. Ingewell improves his musical accomplishment and guitar skills by practicing the songs of deep purple and other bands. Rich Blackmore, the guitarist of Deep Purple, is deeply influenced by classical music. His sister's love for classical music also inspired Ingrid's love for masters: Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart. Just when Ingrid began to try to integrate the structure and form of these classical music into his guitar performance, the prototype of his unique style came into being. He practices diligently almost non-stop every day and often falls asleep playing the guitar.

/kloc-at the age of 0/0, Ingewell inherited her mother's surname and officially changed her name to Yngwie Malmsteen. At this time, because he was too focused on practicing the piano, skipping classes became a common practice. At school, he was considered a troublemaker because he often fought with those "stupid guys". The only excellent subjects he was interested in were English and fine arts. His mother clearly saw her son's musical talent, so she acquiesced in Ingrid's skipping classes and staying at home to play guitar and tape recorder. In this way, his guitar playing skills have been improved rapidly.

How to find a bridge between the conventional form of classical music and Hendricks' improvisation? /kloc-Nikolai Pagolini, a Russian violinist in the 0/9th century, seems to be an answer. When Ingway saw a Russian violinist playing Paganini's famous song "Capriccio 24" on TV, he began to understand how to graft his love of classical music to the charm of improvisation on the stage.

/kloc-when he was 0/5 years old, when Ingewell drove his motorcycle on the main road of the school, it was obvious that the school could no longer tolerate this arrogant guy and he had to pack up and go home. Ingway's first job was as a repairman in a musical instrument store, where his woodworking skills came in handy. It was here that he made the first complete neck. The price of this neck is17th century organ. He reserved the position of the notes on his neck, and then dug out the extra places to make the remaining protrusions taste. He tried it on an old piano, and the effect was very satisfactory, so he took down his favorite guitar and replaced it with this whole neck. Yngwie found that the final effect should be said to be slightly more difficult than ordinary guitar playing, but the control ability of strings has been greatly improved. Therefore, the integral neck has become the standard configuration of Yngwie equipment in the future.

Ingewell formed some local bands whose styles were all around his heavy guitar, which was a great test of the audience's ears and patience in Sweden, where pop music represented by ABBA was everywhere at that time. Yngwie, 18 years old, was recruited by the army because of her high score in IQ test. Perhaps only Ingway can do it-he rushed to the recruitment office with a gun and shouted that he would rather die than join the army. When the recruiter realized that he was not joking, he let him go. Ingway therefore defended the right to play the guitar.

Yngwie and a few friends have recorded three demos for Swedish CBS Records, but they haven't been released yet. Disappointed, Ingrid knew that Sweden was not the place to realize his musical ideal, so he decided to go abroad to develop. He started mailing samples to foreign record companies and bands. Fortunately, a demo fell into the hands of Mike Varney, the founder of Shrapnel Records. He has a surprisingly good impression on this young Swedish guitarist. So he invited Ingway to Los Angeles to join the new band STEELER of Shrapnel Company, which was the real beginning of Ingway's history.

Edit this paragraph to publish a photo album.

STEELER's debut album with Ron Keel as the core is a typical heavy metal album, in which Yngwie left a wonderful prelude solo in the song Hot On Your Heels. By the time the album was well received by fans, Ingrid had come to ALCATRAZZ, a rainbow band formed by lead singer Graham bonet. Yngwie's performance in Alcatraz should be said to be very good Because the other members of the band are quite talented musicians, Ingrid is not outstanding among them. Most of the time, he does his job honestly. Only in several songs, such as Kree Nakoorie》《Jet to Jet and Hiroshima, did he have amazing solo performance. This is obviously not enough for the hungry Ingway. It seems that the only way is to fully develop personal path. After recording two albums, Rock Without Parole and Live Emotion, Ingway left Alcatraz.

Ingewell's first solo album, The Rising Power, was a great success, ranking 60th in the album charts in the United States, which was exciting for an album that focused on guitar without any commercial promotion on the radio. This album even won the Grammy nomination for Ingrid's best rock performance, and then a series of honors were overwhelming: readers of many magazines voted him as the most talented newcomer, the best rock guitarist of the year and the best rock album of the year ... Many musicians and bands have the best debut albums in their musical careers, and Ingrid is one of them. Although the style of Yngwie in this album needs to be improved, the music in this album. This album, now known as the Neoclassical Rock Bible, is undoubtedly the first and the best album of its kind.

The sequel of Ingway's neoclassical style has reached a new height in music. The next two albums, Trilogy and March Abroad, are more skillful in lyrics and music than The Rising Power. At this time, Ingrid's unique guitar skills and composition ability have had a great influence in the rock world, and many musicians have begun to try this neoclassical style. There are many imitators of Ingrid. Ingrid II and III tried to copy his techniques instead of grasping the neoclassical style from that unique musical concept. Due to the lack of understanding of Yngwie's music, these clones always sound a bit funny and artificial, which casts a negative shadow on neoclassical rock movement.

Unfortunately, it happened on June 22nd 1987. Just a few days before his 24th birthday, Ingrid's Jaguar crashed into a tree, and his head hit the steering wheel, which was damaged. The bleeding from his head formed a blood clot, which pressed the nerve of his right hand. After nearly a week in a coma, Ingrid woke up to find that the hand holding the pick was completely disabled. Is this the end of the road to music? With deep anxiety, Ingrid began a long physical therapy. During physical therapy, Yngwie's right hand nerve gradually began to recover its function. Shortly after his full recovery, there was another bad news. The person who gave him the greatest strength and inspiration in his life, his mother Rigmore, died of cancer in Sweden. The most hateful thing is that one of Yngwie's agents hit a man when he was down and out, took all Yngwie's belongings and left him with a thick stack of medical bills-if all this happened to ordinary people, it would be a fatal blow. On the other hand, Ingrid didn't give up. He soon shifted his spirit from sadness and pain to music. Only in this way can he save himself.

Odyssey is Ingrid's first album after her comeback. He is not very satisfied with this album, but it has brought him a wider audience and mainstream market. A single and its music movie "Paradise Tonight" became Yngwie's first attempt to change its style into a scroll playing style, and also promoted the whole album to sell nearly 500,000 copies in the United States. Of course, all this is due to Joe Lynn, the lead singer of the original Rainbow Band. With his support, a successful odyssey trip expanded Yngwie's audience, which was no longer limited to fanatical guitar lovers. 1989 During February, the tour on the land of the former Soviet Union was full, and several performances in Moscow and Leningrad were particularly successful (only half a year after Yngwie, BON JOVI and other bands performed in the Soviet Union for the first time). The last performance in Leningrad was recorded as a live video and released, and it was called "The Trial of the Leningrad Fire".

After the tour, the band named Rising Force finally broke up, and the band members went their separate ways, so Ingrid had to start looking for new partners.

Edit this piece of band development.

Ingway came to Miami to develop his new band, and he quickly recruited a band composed entirely of Swedes. The lead singer is Goran Edman, the former lead singer of John Norum, whose high notes coincide with Ingrid's classical melody. Other members were unknown musicians in Sweden, but they were later proved to be musical talents: bassist and stringed player Svante Henryson, keyboard player Matz Olausen and drummer Michael von Knorin. The first album of this new lineup, Eclipse, was recorded in Criteria Studio in Miami. In this album, Ingrid also made acceptable pop music without sacrificing his classical music style. Due to the poor publicity work of Polygram Records, this album did not sell well in the United States, but in Japan and Europe, Eclipse became a gold record and a platinum record. Yngwie finally put down her mind and put aside the worries that have been floating in her heart since the dissolution of Rising Force.

Out of dissatisfaction with Polaroid Records, he decided to leave this place that could not be taken seriously. As Ingrid himself often said, his life is like "fire and ice, either really good or really bad, there is no middle way." Once the negative influence of the record company has passed, everything seems to be full of hope. Nigel Thomas, the new agent, tried to find a new in-law for Ingway until March 199 1 day, when Ingway signed a contract with Elektra Records.

In Elektra's first album "Fire and Ice", Ingrid eliminated the over-commercialized elements in the previous album and returned to his best classical form. The whole album, like its cover, is burning with Ingrid's fiery enthusiasm. The style of the album is greatly influenced by baroque style, full of complicated arrangement and exquisite decoration. Yngwie can finally complete his long-cherished wish of recording string works in this album. In the song "No Mercy", Ingrid rewrote and recorded a section of Badinine in Bach's "The Second Ohlstral Suite", and the effect was quite good. Fire and fire. Ice jumped to the first place as soon as it was listed in Japan, and its sales volume exceeded100000 on the day of sale. This album won gold records in Europe and platinum records in Asia.

Ingway's life is really like fire and ice. Just when he returned to Miami to prepare his new album, a series of misfortunes came to him again. 1In August, 992, Typhoon Andrew swept through Miami. 1993 65438+ 10, Nigel Thomas, the agent who worked with Ingewell for four years, died of a heart attack; 1in March, 1993, electra decided not to renew the contract with Yngwie; In July of the same year, Ingrid broke his right arm in an accident; In August, Ingewell was arrested by the police, which caused international news and finally proved that the police had mistaken someone.

1September, 993, all the forces against Ingewell were weak. 10 In June, when his arm recovered completely, Ingway signed a contract with Japanese Pony Canyon Records Company. The new band lineup is lead singer Michael Vescera (formerly LOUDNESS), drummer Mike Terrana (formerly Tony McAlpine), keyboard player Mats Olausson and bassist Yngwie himself (Barry Sparks from Los Angeles will be the bassist in the future tour).

On February 3rd, 1994, in order to welcome the upcoming world tour, the band officially started rehearsing. The new album "The Seventh Sign" was released in Japan on February 8th, 1994. This album returns to Yngwie's early aggressive style, which is heavier than the previous album and similar to the early Marching Out. The seventh sign quickly reached the top of Japan's international rankings, and now it has sold three platinum in Japan alone. CMC international records bought the copyright of the album released in Europe and America. Under the active promotion of CMC, Yngwie fans all over the world got the album. Although Yngwie still failed to achieve good sales in the United States, the previous albums of Seventh Sign and Yngwie were all sold out in Europe and Asia.

1September 1994 and 10/October, Pony Canyon Company released two CDs, Strength and Glory (the theme song was written by Yngwie for Japanese judo champion Takada) and I can't wait (including two unreleased tracks and several live tracks recorded in Tokyo budokan Theater). The live performance in the budokan was also recorded as a Japanese video, and CMC was promoted all over the world. During this period, Yngwie has been touring all over the world, and the band didn't return to their home in Miami until June1994165438+10. The band that has been running for half a year really needs a rest.

1994 65438+In February, Yngwie's own recording studio began to be built in Miami, with composite floors, recording equipment and control equipment, and everything was in order. At the same time, Yngwie's new album Magnum Opus has also started preparations. Ingewell and his agent agreed that CMC had problems in the record distribution mechanism, so they decided to leave CMC. 1in June, 995, when the masterwork was sent to Japan, Ingewell and his agent began to look for new European and American agents.

The masterpiece tour began in Japan in September, 1995. After performing in Japan 17 city, the band toured Britain and Europe for two months. There was a little trouble on the way. The lead singer Michael Viscera suffered from bronchitis due to a cold and missed several performances. However, the performance went on as usual, with Yngwie as the lead singer, but some songs in the performance plan were cancelled because the pitch exceeded Yngwie's voice. Michael rejoined the German band after his illness, just in time for the local music festival. There are four other bands at the festival, including the legendary metal warrior Saxon. At the end of the year, Ingway and the band ended their tour and returned to the United States for a holiday.

Edit this paragraph of Ingway Studio 308.

Yngwie's studio 308 came in handy at the beginning of the new year. Ingway invited some old friends, including Joe Lynn Turner, Geoff Scott Soto, David Rosenthal, Marcel Jacob and Mark Bowles, to record the new album. For a long time, Ingrid has been eager to record a cover album to pay tribute to those who have influenced his guitar playing and composition, including Deep Purple, Rainbow, England, Kansas, Scorpion, Rush and jimi hendrix. With the support of the drums and keyboards of the old friends Johnson Brothers, the inspirational album began to take shape. In mid-April, the album was mixed, and the cover artist finalized it. It was designed by Japanese artist Asari Yoda, who combined some elements of the cover bands in the album into a picture, from which we can vaguely distinguish the names or pictures of these bands.

After the release of the album Inspiration, Ingrid began to plan a new tour. The band lineup of this tour can be said to be the strongest. These include Barry Bunaway, the bassist in Live In Leningrad, Mark Boals, the lead singer in the trilogy album, Mats Olausson, a long-term partner and keyboard player, and Tommy Aldridge, an unusual drummer (he joined ozzy osbourne, The first stop of the tour was in South America, and fans from Brazil and Argentina filled Ingway's performances. Then the band went to America, Japan and Europe. While Grunge swept the world, Yngwie's performance still retained a large audience, which proved that hard rock/heavy metal with speed, strength and melody did not die, and it still maintained its tenacious vitality.

1996 tour lasted until the end of the year. During this tour, Ingway broke 12 guitars. The enthusiastic response from the audience made Yngwie throw himself into the recording studio with confidence again. This album will be very special.

After several months of hard work, Ingewell finally wrote his first classical music, Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestration in E minor, Op. 1 (Concerto No.1 in E flat minor). 1997 65438+ 10, Ingewell came to Prague to start the formal recording work. This band is Czech Philharmonic Orchestra who just celebrated his centenary birthday. After three days of recording, with the cooperation of Yoel Levi, conductor of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Yngwie's dream for many years has finally come true.

For some reason, anxious fans have to wait until 1998 to hear this extraordinary album, and this kind of waiting is nothing-many fans have been waiting since the first album of Yngwie was released in 1984.

Before celebrating the release of the string album, Ingway went back to Miami to record the album Facing Animals scheduled to be released in 1998. The drummer of this new album is an experienced and comfortable Powell. This album with black emotions and heavy rhythm is an excellent album in the eyes of music critics and fans, and is considered to be the most powerful work of Yngwie in the past decade. Under the vigorous promotion of Mercury Records, Yngwie's European and American distribution agent, Yngwie has finally received considerable attention in the United States, and interviews and comments on this album have also appeared in various magazines in Europe and America.

Edit this passage of Ingway's life.

1In April 1998, the Ingways really didn't have time to play the new role of their parents, because they embarked on a tour together. The performance was not delayed by the birth of little Antonio, so the baby didn't get his ID card until three weeks after his birth. In April, Ingrid, like all fathers, always maintained a high mood. No matter on the plane, train or bus, he always plays jokes on everyone.

While celebrating the birth of his son, Ingway had to face a painful loss, which was also the loss of the whole rock music industry: the pleasant Powell was ruthlessly killed in a terrible car accident in England. Trembling, Ingway decided to continue the tour plan of Face Animals. He recruited a new drummer Jonas osterman to join his tour team. The band performed in Japan, South America and Europe, and a successful performance in Brazil was recorded as a live album and released. The name is simple, live from Yngwie Malmsteen! Unfortunately for fans in North America, most of Yngwie's performances in North America were cancelled due to lack of support from sponsors and record companies.

After the tour, Ingrid returned to his home in Miami and began to adapt to his father's role.

The role of father made Ingrid full of challenges again, and his enthusiasm and ambition began to return to the level of fifteen years ago. The new album Alchemy released by 1999 almost returns to the tough style of Rising Force, and its sound is more European than the previous one. The return of this root has greatly improved the position of Yngwie in the eyes of music critics and fans, and many long-lost fans have returned to Yngwie's music. At the moment when rap about metal and hard core is popular in America, Yngwie brings us a fresh wind with the most direct heavy metal. It can be said that alchemy is European music produced in America, and this kind of music always excites us.

Yngwie Malmsteen experienced various joys and sorrows in his 20-year music career. As a first novel, The Rising Power has undoubtedly become an immortal work. Although he has published many musically featureless albums in the past 20 years, his latest works give us hope. Let's expect Ingrid to continue to bring us real heavy metals in the new century.

I recommend watching this.
