Video footage filmed by fans of Yngwie MalmsteenThe December 18 concert at RISE Rooftop in Houston, Texas can be viewed below.
Earlier this month, Yngwie postponed several concerts from his tour of the United States “due to unforeseen circumstances” and “doctor’s orders”.
Malmsteenthe last album of, « Parabellum », was released in July via Recordings of musical theories/Group of mascot labels. Only four of the LP’s songs feature vocals. The album title is Latin, translating to “Prepare for war”.
After working with some of the best hard singers of the past four decades, Yngwie now manages much of the lead vocals himself in his own band, supported by a formation that includes the keyboardist Nick Marin, bass player Emilio martinez and drummer Brian Wilson.
In a recent interview with Guitar world, Yngwie said of his decision to take on more and more of the work himself: “It’s a very weird thing to try to explain, because in rock’n’roll it’s ingrained in people’s minds that it must be a band that plays everything, right? And I’m not saying there is nothing wrong with that – I like THE ROLLING STONES and DARK PURPLE and so many groups. And 99.9% of the songs from these bands usually happen when the guitarist comes up with a riff, the drummer starts playing with it and finally the singer comes in and starts singing over it. Who is great. But for some reason I tend to approach things more like a writer or a painter would. Like, the painter paints the foreground, he paints the background… he doesn’t say, “Oh, can you do that part for me? It’s the same with a classical composer, by the way. And that’s just the way I approach it. Even when I was little, if the drummer wasn’t in the rehearsal room, I would just put the record button on. Like, the demo version of ‘Black Star’ which I did in 1982, I play drums, bass, keyboards and guitar. So it’s not new to me. “
