And i do think Yngwie can be very tasteful and even emotional when he wants to be, he does more than just shred, in fact he used to play neo classical accoustic guitar before even taking up electric...I think his accoustic stuff is the best, personaly.
Regardless, he was the biggest influence on the 80s shred scene after EVH and Blackmore...And for god reason, get Rising Force, some sweet stuff.

I agree, he really is a great guitarist and doesn't deserve all the bashing he's been getting on this forum. I have never in my life heard someone shred on a classical guitar like he does. You gotta admit that its pretty cool how he plays tchaikovsky (sp?) on his strat. By far the fastest strat player, possibly the fastest player of all time, not sure. Speed and technicality isn't everything though of course, if only you could blend him in with gilmour or hendrix or clapton or something, then you would have it made...
