Is this what you call an OFF kind of day?

[Big_Rob]

This is real and is on Fender's site

What's really off is that terrible tone.

LOL!!!

I could not watch it all, My ears hurt!
Do you guys smell something?

[Robert****]

What is your point with this? It's just a clip with Yngwie? I think you should try and tell us in the thread itself why you want us to look at the clips you post.

It ain't GAS if that's what you mean. I don't see anything worth gassing about here.

I thought the title of the thread would be a sufficent explaination about him having an off day at a Fender event with that horrible tone.

I first thought it was a joke but come to find out its not as its posted on Fenders site

[Jimi75]

Oh I guess it is the way it has been recorded with a crappy camera.
Don't know if it was a good idea putting this up ion the official Fender site, but one point is clear:

Yngwie has some chops from hell and some parts of this clips are just brilliant!

[Spudman***]

You want to know what the problem is? What is in the back line? Do you see any Marshall gear there? Nope. What pedal was he adjusting in the beginning? A Boss HM2? Who knows. I'm with Jimi the boy can play and yes this sounds pukey but I don't care. I've already sold my soul to Yngwie and Abba.

Like a few here, not my thing. I will say he can play, but if I make those faces will I play better or just end up taking a dump?

OMG. Just blew liquid through my nose. lol

Turn on your video camera, just strum, and show us what happens when you make that face!

You don't want to be shutting down the forum.

I could never figure out the exaggerated facial expressions.

[Robert****]

That was a good video.

I just did a search on Musicians' Friend, but got no hits on "mic from hell", so maybe they don't carry the model Yngwie was using. Lordy, that is some hideous tone....

[Big_Rob]

I dont want anyone to think that Im hating on Yngwie cause I actually do like him and think he was totally the innovator of that style of playing guitar, but man his tone was soo off that day.

I would think that Fender would have put up a better clip for their website

[duhvoodooman***]

I suspect that there was probably nothing wrong with his tone at all. While I'm no fan of that style of playing, Yngwie is certainly an astute enough musician to have recognized how bad that sounded, if that was what was coming out of his amp. I think it's just a REALLY terrible recording, for which Fender should be held responsible for posting it to their site.

I listened to it again and it sounds like a DI mixed with the camera audio. It has that direct fizzy sound without a cabinet emulation. Could be they just did a bad mix.

I agree something doesn't sound right about his tone....its got great bite but the highs are just way too much and the lows sound frizzy and muddy/muffled...listen to when he rides his low E all the way down on the run that goes to open low E....down there the tone goes from harsh to a cab thats got some serious woofing out or way to much bass....doesn't make sense for the way his EQ is...so I am gonna go with cab emulator + Direct box....

That being said...I can overlook that nasty tone to hear his playing....but I cannot overlook the drummers face...its a mix of "I hate this fat coked up *** thats full of himself" and two parts "Hmmmmmm McDonalds sound good.....My butt itches :::scratches his butt::: ... glad the camera is on the fat guy who should NOT be wearing those pants....or just that whole outfit"
