Yngwie probably is a legitimate legend for a moderate sized group of guitar players into the style, but not to the average person. He certainly influenced a lot of "shredders". His music is definitely not for the masses, but he is highly proficient and well schooled in classical music. As a player, I enjoy him in occasional small doses. I see mention that he has no "feel", but imo he certainly does, just not in the prototypical manner.
You don't know the half...and his fans are just as arrogant. Don't ever attempt to have a music conversation with a Malmsteen fan. Go watch paint dry instead.

That's a fair assessment I guess.
I don't know man...if there ain't no gutbuckets on the floor, I don't wanna hear it. Hendrix does everything wrong, and yet I don't think I've ever heard another axeman that moves me like that. SRV or Clapton maybe...
We all know that one random opinion of one random dude in some random country in a world consisting of like tons of random countries and zillions of random dudes...MUST BE TRUE.

Duane Allman?
Yngwie isn't prog rock either...he's just butt metal. Not a bad guitarist, just too technical. His music was very cliche for the era he was in. But to call him prog is an insult....there was a lotttt of good prog in the 60s and 70's, especially from South America and Western Europe.

That’s right, though they may have to stare into a fake light for a few hours each winter to keep their spirits high, the people of Denmark, Norway and Sweden -- as well as their Northern European neighbors in the Netherlands and Switzerland -- reported some of the highest senses of well-being in the world in the latest iteration of the report, published Monday by the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network. The United States, meanwhile, came in at No. 17, the United Kingdom at No. 22, Germany at No. 26, Japan at No. 43 and China at No. 93. World
Well, if he wasn't happy in one of the happiest places on earth, maybe he should live in Disneyland, with a fistful of antidepressants.
I guess the "opinion" of an obscure guitar player who obviously has an unrestrained taste for fast food would be of some value for a relevant synopsis.
It's the multiculturalism that makes us less happy, I absolutely suspect.
That said, the Scandy countries I understand are being currently overrun by foreigners, and I also have read that the foreigners are not at all happy in the Scandy countries by large. So there's that.

Just speaking for myself. I`m happy here but I`m not into the white supremacist stuff.
