Malmsteen
Yngwie Malmsteen is the stage name of Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck, (Stockholm, June 30, 1963). The Swedish guitarist, considered one of the best in his style.
Influenced by the baroque music of Bach and Vivaldi, Malmsteen is known to be one of the forerunners of so-called neoclassical metal. Which involves heavy metal with elements of classical music.
Along with keyboardist Jens Johansson, he also became one of the pioneers of power metal, with the fantastic theme of his lyrics and the orchestral sounds creating the epic atmospheric of the songs. Following these styles, he helped popularize guitar shredding within heavy metal in general and became one of the most influential guitarists in metal. Malmsteen was once considered the fastest guitarist of his time.
In February 2015, he was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame for his musical contributions over the past thirty years.
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!
