Glistening, melodious tenor, thick vibrato, and a distinct, pure timbre, love that guy's voice. He and Glenn Hughes just get better as they age, I swear.
Controversial opinions on metal
- Thread starter The Ozzman

@H.P. Lovecraft @HamburgerBoy I don't know why people say that he "doesn't fit" in many of the songs on either Eclipse or Fire and Ice. He perfectly matched the ethereal production quality on Eclipse and when it came to his performance on tracks like How Many Miles to Babylon and Forever Is a Long Time, he has excellent range for the neoclassical power metal stuff. Sure, he may not fit it the way Mark Boals might but the guy is absurdly talented.

He isn't trash, though I'm noticing you have a tendency for ridiculous opinions. 
This is coming from the guy who likes Trivium and hates Dokken. Why am I not surprised?

Anybody with taste would know that however trashy Trivium might be, Yngwie Malmsteen is a dumpster fire. Listening to an Yngwie song is pretty much free Ambien.

inb4 this bozo checks out something by Yngwie, ends up liking it, then has to walk back his nonsense.
Apparently, Trilogy, Marching Out, Magnum Opus, The Seventh Sign and Perpetual Flame are akin to "consuming Ambien". Yeah, sure. 
I wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, no, I've given Yngwie enough chances, thought, "Hey, that's kinda neat," checked out halfway through the first song, and then punched myself in the face. Go listen to some actual classical music or something, cause Yngwie is just self-indulgent guitar nerd nonsense.

Guess what? That man's "nerdy", "self-indulgent" way of playing is what innovated a style and provided a standard for practice, precision, discipline and passion that elevated him to the levels of those such as Richie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix and Ulrich Roth.
How boring of him.

Indeed one of the greats, but i would not put him in the same category as Blackmore or Hendrix.

True. But I've already seen him walk back some of his other opinions.

Oh wow, he could go widdly diddly do real nice. He still makes boring music. Yngwie Malmsteen is like the world's greatest farmer who doesn't know how to cook. Sure the carrots look fantastic, but goddamn do they taste awful.Guess what?

No, I said I'd be willing to give Hank Williams III another shot (at some point). Didn't say I liked him.

That's walking back dummy. Going from hating something as much as you did to "maybe I'll give it another try" is walking an opinion back.
I'm glad you did by the way.
What are you implying here? That he is only a technician and has no sense of songwriting, emotion or melody? The albums I mentioned disprove that a hundred times over.
