Yngwie Malmsteen
He is described as the best rock guitarist in the world and will be appearing at this year's Dubai Rock Fest at Dubai World Trade Centre on 7th June. Until now I had never heard of him but would be willing to give him a chance, if he is as good as media reports suggest. Does anybody have any comments?

Re: Yngwie Malmsteen
He is always mentioned on 'best guitarist' lists. Never been able to make it all the way through 1 of his riffs.
He's a good technical guitarist but a great guitarist for me is one who creates melodius simple riffs that transforms a song.

PS - That line up looks well dodgy... I don't predict this event is going to work too well...
