You know, if Romeo and Yngwie ever decided to record an album together...

Great title for what would be the ultimate neoclassical shred cd! If it is not all instrumental, Yngwie needs to let MJR do the song/lyric writing. Yngwie can improv over it if he likes. I think Yngwie would be scared to do this project though.
 
haha.....we've had that joke over at the Dream Theater forums for some time too :)

But you can't forget Derek Sherinian's new solo album with Yngwie on it........the first song.....which is aptly named "Fury"

What a loser...lol
 
Actually there was almost a Romeo/Yngwie CD. Jens Johansson said that when he got Romeo to do The Last Viking CD with him he also invited Yngwie to play on it, and if that were the case he said he would have had an all out shred fest with 4 way duels between Romeo, Jens, Yngwie, and Pinella. But Yngwie declined (Jens added: Maybe he heard Romeo was going to play on it and got scared? :D)
 
Looks like Yngwie's little comment on-board that plane may well stick with him for quite a while ... but that was an awesome title for an album. Lol ... maybe you ought to suggest it to Yngwie ... he just might take it up.
 
That would have ruled...4 way solos. I need to get that Last Viking cd but it is so hard to find. Anyone know where I can get a copy? Does anyone have it? How is Romeo's playing on it?

I heard a few tracks. Its not a super shred CD, thats not what Jens Johansson intended. He said he wanted to make a CD that was very old school Rainbowish and old Rising Force sounding, but with an emphesis on having a very early baroque harmony as opposed to tons of shred solos. Romeo does take a few cool solos tho...I guess I can kinda equate his performance on it to his performance on Kotipelto's solo album (which also kicks ass IMO). I know you can get Last Viking on Amazon.com for insane import prices, but Im sure theres cheaper sites out there too.
 
Ok well, Ive come the to conclusion that Kazaa F*CKING SUX ASS, anything prog/shred related isnt there... I miss audioGalaxy... Soon as i turn 18, im gettign a credit card and going into debt from Ordering Madddddddd cd's \m/

Also someone want to edjumakate me on wtf Jens Johansson is.. never heard of em =[
