Yngwie Malmsteen

[xfer]

At the age of 10 he took his mother's maiden name Malmsteen as his surname, and Americanized his given name Yngve to "Yngwie".

What's more Americanized about Yngwie rather than Yngve?

apparently i am not the only bored guy on this board right now.

Would be funnier if just the guitars were dubbed thusly and the mid-picking banter was left the same. Just so it would seem inexplicably shitty of him.

 

[xfer]

I can't listen to the audio now, but is that the video where he's like "I taught God to play guitaaahhh"?

I'm NEVER bored.

 

[xfer]

(watching that video yesterday is what made me go to wikipedia and look up yngwie, thus seeing the ridiculousness of his entry)

 

[Helm]

Yes it's that one.

 

[Helm]

Also xfer, holy shit, 25 thousand posts, you never get bored. Jesus.

i would think changing it from yngve to yngwie would be counterintuitive to the pronunciation factor for us americans. that's the first time i've seen someone purposely make their name harder.

MC Hammer removed the MC from the front to make it seem harder.

more street.

In order to break into the Russian market I've been thinking of changing my name to KNDCDCKKD but still pronouncing it Nathan.
