YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Recalls Being Approached To Audition For KISS And DAVID LEE ROTH's Band

In a new interview with Guitar Player contributor Jonathan Graham, legendary Swedish guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen spoke about some of the offers he had received over the years to join established bands or collaborate with well-known musicians. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Well, it depends on how you mean. When I first came to the States, I was offered to join UFO. And then on the same day as I offered to do the UFO thing, which was a big step from [my then-band] STEELER, I guess, I got contacted by the thing that becameALCATRAZZ. It wasn't called ALCATRAZZ [yet]. They didn't have any songs, nothing. I wrote all the songs. And I chose that situation because I wanted to write songs instead of just… As much as I like UFO, I didn't wanna be stepping into someone else's thing.

"I was asked to join Dave [Lee] Roth's band. What happened was that he was leaving, or left already, VAN HALEN, and I was doing a big American tour [with] AC/DC. And then right after that I did my own tour of America with a band called TALAS opening up, which was Billy Sheehan's band. And Dave would come to the shows all the time. Plus, we would hang out too, at the Troubadour and stuff, back in the party days. And it would've been a great thing, but I think that… I mean, he obviously asked Billy Sheehan too, so Billy took it. I mean, it wasn't officially on a paper like this or something like this, but it was very obvious what he was thinking about. And at the time, I was thinking, 'Oh, no. I'm doing great,' whatever.

"Very early on, I was offered to join KISS, but that was very short-lived because they called me when I was still in Sweden in 1982, 'cause [my] tape had been circulating… I'm six [feet and] three [inches tall]. But I didn't know that, because I'm [familiar with the] metric [system of weights and measures]. I said, 'I don't know.' I said, 'I'm 192 [centimeters tall].' They didn't know what that means, and I didn't know what 'six foot' means."

In a separate interview with Classic Rock magazine, Yngwie stated about Roth's VAN HALEN bandmate, iconic guitarist Eddie Van Halen: "I never said a bad word about him. I never will. Because I think he was amazing. But I used to know a guy that worked in the grocery store where Eddie would shop, and the guy would ask him: 'Hey, what do you think about Yngwie Malmsteen, the new Swedish kid?' And Eddie would say: 'I don't know who that is.' Meanwhile, Dave Roth told me that Eddie would have his ghetto blaster, playing my shit on it all day long."

According to Yngwie, Eddie even ignored him when they both attended the Grammy Awards in 1986. At the time, Malmsteen was nominated in the "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" category for his album "Rising Force".

"I go to the show — I had my tux on and everything — and I see Eddie there," Yngwie told Classic Rock. "I'm waving at him, trying to get his attention, and he sees me… and he runs away. He literally ran away."

Malmsteen went on to suggest that Van Halen was so threatened by him that he pulled out of a scheduled VAN HALEN show in the Netherlands where the two guitarists would have finally shared the stage.

"I was doing a concert festival in Holland, and VAN HALEN were headlining," Yngwie recalled. "I'm, like, 'Great. I finally get to meet Eddie and give him my concerto.' Because I'm proud of my concerto, you know?' But I find out they canceled the show. They said Alex Van Halen had broken his little finger or something. And then I hear that the promoter got a phone call from Eddie himself, who said: 'Just to let you know, if Yngwie Malmsteen is playing, I'm not playing. And I will never fucking play the same stage as Yngwie Malmsteen.' I'm, like, 'What?' He obviously felt threatened. Which is crazy to me. You're fucking Eddie Van Halen. No one could threaten you."

Yngwie released a new live album, "Tokyo Live", on April 25 via Music Theories Recordings. The concert was recorded at the Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo on May 11, 2024 as part of Yngwie's 40th-anniversary world tour.

Only four of the songs on Malmsteen's latest album, 2021's "Parabellum", featured vocals. The album title is Latin, translating as "Prepare For War".

After working with some of the top hard singers of the past four decades, Yngwie now handles much of the lead vocals himself in his own band, backed by a lineup that includes keyboardist Nick Marino, bassist Emilio Martinez and drummer Kevin Klingenschmid.

Yngwie has a catalog of 22 solo studio albums.

… но оказался в ASS

No Parole from Rock ’n’ Roll прям хорОш. Да и сольное творчество, несмотря на обилие самоповторов, очень люблю. Безусловно он в плеяде исполнителей, которые на меня действительно сильно повлияли.

Ну, учитывая нарциссичный характерец Ингви, он бы получил синхронный пендель без выходного пособия от Симмонса и Стэнли через пару месяцев пребывания в KISS. Эти двое, конечно, знатные, прожжённые коммерсы, но дела группы всегда ставили превыше всего, так что они ни минуты не терпели бы эго-закидоны такого кадра, как Мальмстин.
