I'm sure his "bad" attitude is truly genuine and as such perfectly
accurate. 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? ;-)
