Yngwie Malmsteen: The Complete 1984 Alcatrazz Interview - Tape 2

Welcome to my Talking Guitar podcast featuring Tape 2 of one of Swedish guitar great Yngwie Malmsteen’s very first interviews in America. If you haven’t already heard it, you might want to first listen to Tape 1, which is also available on YouTube. Our 90-minute interview took place on January 3, 1984. At the time, 20-year-old Yngwie had just completed his first round of shows with Alcatrazz, the band he’d formed with singer Graham Bonnet. This next part takes up where the first part ended. I hope you enjoy this unique, never-before-released recording.
