In the same sense, wasn't Paganini and Mozart punks too? ;-) I think Yngwie has a wonderful guitar tone and way of phrasing but there goes my limit for what I can stand of his music. I just can't help that I like his attitude and tone so much more than his music. I wonder what John would have asked if given the same question. Any guesses? ;-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international)
