Read what he said:

“There are so many things you can say about it. But you have to have passion for it. To quote Niccolò Paganini [violinist, guitarist, guitarist and Italian composer], my greatest hero – he said: ‘For others to feel strong, you must feel strong.’ In other words, don’t try to do what someone else tells you: don’t do something you think other people will like; do what you want and don’t give a shit about what other people say.”

Yngwie will be on the Generation Ax tour, alongside Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi in North America.

The musician’s latest album was World On Fire, released in 2016 on King Records.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
