He worked best in a Group, Alcatrazz's first album proves this, it has some fantastic songs on it, which yngwie COwrote, so theres actually some tastefullness in there, but still some cracking guitarwork, and he had alot of passion and soul back then, he was still fast, but he had a lot more edge. he was way better than Steve Vai in Alcatrazz too, although massive props to Vai for being able to pull of every single lick.

theres some cheesy 80's Alcatrazz. with Yngwie playing some Slow shit, loads of other good Yngwie moments from the alcatrazz days, his best in my opinion, even if you cant stand the tiger skin and the leather pants.
