Night Games.. I never heard this one before! Kinda fun, rompy.. I like it!

BTW where has this video been at all these years? I've asked Yngwie about selling his old stuff like this, and he acts clueless. Actually, his attitude seems unconcerned.

Are there other Alcatrazz video or releases out there besides the one studio and one live album? This stage of Yngwie's guitar sound here, up to the first Rising Force album-tour was about as pure and clean as it ever got.

However I'm liking this new tune alot. What a great find!

You've never hear this on an Alcatrazz album because it's a Bonnet solo song... :Loser:

Looks like he hired the '81 era Whitesnake band to do this. Jon Lord, the late great Cozy Powell, & Mickey Moody.

Bizzarre..

"Graham Bonnet and The Hooligans"??

Here's Cozy Powell and Jon Lord.. this tune kinda had a Rainbow feel to it - reason why huh!

Clown, you didn't notice that take in the Youtube "similar featured" ending thumbnails till I did. You don't know shit.

Alcatrazz found the groove in a great hidden nugget, and made it sound complete.

That disco beat - hell this is 1981 so wtf is Cozy Powell doing disco when it's been dead a couple years already?

Jan Uvena fixed it. I think he's an alright drummer.. They should have re-released this as an Alcatrazz performance because beside I vaguely recall seeing the first video version once or twice on late nite cable, I am certain I never heard the fucking thing on the radio.

But one things for sure, if I heard the Alcatrazz revamp I would have definately made a note of it. Very catchy little tune.. can't make out what most of the words are, but it seems like it's about shagging.

I'm watching this video now a fourth time, and Malmsteen still hasn't donkey-punched Graham Bonnet for walking around like a pompous asshole in that peach suit, like everyone there in Japan knows the tune.

Don't get me wrong, he's an excellent rock singer.. but seeing these videos of original pre-Rising Force Malmsteen performances I'm understanding a little better why he just couldn't work it out with that guy.

Even still.. punch him. Punch him. Cmon Malmsteen, aw its over..
