There is something missing in the stage act

[ZahZoo]

If you're gonna insult people, at least do it with a little finesse...

Actually that was Von's patented finesse and diplomacy at work...

[ELVIS]

Pretty shocking way to behave on what is meant to be a fun message board.

Dude, have another drink...

[DLR Bridge]

If he had half of Ed's soul on the guitar, he'd be at least okay.

A fair assessment. 30 seconds of watching this guy tear up the neck with the same 2 or 3 scales reveals he's a bit of a one trick pony. Decent song writing must never have mattered to him, otherwise we'd hear it. Odyssey wasn't half bad thanks to Joe Lynn Turner. Something about that guys voice I always dug.

[ELVIS]

No, Yngwie is the only guitarist to combine mind blowing shredding with soul and finesse...

There is room for both of them. Instead of being happy he isn't some dumb rapper, you guys are insulting him cause of you own insecurity. He is on our side. We rockers have to stick together.

Elvis... Really..?

I'll give you finesse, no problem, but Soul???

Insecurity? In what way? I can't play worth a shit, and I know it.

Sorry, I find this guy boring and soul less. Always have. He is fast though.

I think soul is an abstract thing and everybody has a different perception of who plays with soul. Musical taste is also not measurable, it's just taste. The only thing you can discuss, that isn't abstract is notes per minute, which makes this conversation pretty useless.

I am pretty sure Yngwie loved Ed when he was younger, Ed certanly inspired him. If I didn't like Yngwie when I was young, I would never have found Van Halen now. It's all connected. We're are all friends. Okey?

And great though he is, he STILL can't carry EVH's jock.

My own insecurity? What the what the? I'm a one time lead singer/rhythm guitarist who likes and dislikes lots of lead guitarists. That makes me insecure? Ok.

Yeah, but what you said now is not what you said at first, you were insulting his looks and clothes which makes you pretty vain and gives impression that you are clueless about the subject.
I have no problem with somebody that has a different taste then I.

Dude, in the early 90s I saw him do this solo spot where he started off with Eruption complete with a phaser pedal, switched to a very bluesy Hendrix jam followed by some Blackmore and then topped it off with the best original soloing I've ever seen...

He's not like that these days, sticking more to his one trick pony stuff, but the guy was awesome...He really can play pretty much anything...

No, but when you put it like it's a competition between Ed and Yngwie and at the same time insult Yngwie, you aren't insultuing Yngwie, you are actually defending Ed. But you aren't aware of that. Same as when an insecure person puts other down so that he would feel better about himself.
You can say stuff in different ways.

That warrants a quote from one of my all time favorite cartoon characters, Mr. Charlie Brown. "Good grief!"

It always makes me laugh when a DLR fan insults the way another rock star dresses...
