Back to the subject of the post, when I was a teen, I took in Sting (on solo tour) and Metallica in the same year. Appreciate the musicianship and keep an open mind, that is the best way to learn.]]> Opinions and Polls 97reb https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299205 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299200 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:25:42 +0000
Heck, I've gone to concerts with my parents that had The Four Tops, Temptations, Tommy James and the Shondells, and Paul Revere and the Raiders. Wasn't my type of music, but was worth it.

Favorites I missed out on

ZZ Top
Joe Satriani
B.B. King
Primus
Iron Maiden
Um... a number of other metal bands.

I also missed out seeing Lacuna Coil perform at my local guitar store last year. :cry:]]> Opinions and Polls Ghost https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299200 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299178 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:41:35 +0000
To be fair, you have to decide what kind of outing you're going to have - enjoyment or educational - when given a choice to see a show. No matter who the act is, there is always a chance to learn something. But if you're not in the mood for that, then no sense to go. More often than not "educational" trips turn out to be enjoyable ones, too.

If you're into different aspects of musicianship (not to mention showmanship), there are all sorts of things to watch and listen to. How the band works as a unit. What the arrangements are like. Even the mechanical aspects such as sound and lighting. If you look at a show as a "school trip" into the music world, you can't help but learn something.

But if you're strictly in the mood for "enjoyment," then choose your show accordingly. Common sense, no?

1) Don't ever pass up a chance to see live music. Even Kenny G.? I have passed on free tickets for his concert before.]]> Opinions and Polls Hyperborea https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299176 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-299161 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:11:01 +0000

Now most people here will know who Malmsteen is so I don't really need to write a long description about his hair metal shredding history.

Anyway I saw that he was on tour, called my guitar teacher up to see if he was going to see him and so decided to go with him. As with most things I'm always up to go see someone, even though Malmsteen is not one of my favourite guitar players. Actually quite looking forward to it though, I'm sure it will be good fun.

However I told a friend of mine who I knew would disapprove and he told me he would rather vomit than see him, he also said in another conversation though he would rather stay in and watch Hollyoakes (tv soap drama for the yanks) than go see Steve Vai. I don't get him anyway my attitude is that it's worth seeing ANYONE for the live experience.]]> Opinions and Polls fleaaaaaa https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/yngwie-malmsteen-live/#post-32442
