Malmsteen's playing with Alcatraz is astonishing. After they sacked Malmsteen, Vai was great too, but it is a revelation how much better was Malmsteen. Compare each of them on the track All Night Long.

One night in Japan, Malmsteen soloed over the top of Bonnet's vocal one time too many.
Bonnet walked out of the arena, and on the way 'accidentally' kicked out Malmsteen's amp lead, making his guitar dead mid solo..
Malmsteen chased Bonnet out into the truck and tried to strangle him.
After the roadies pulled Malmsteen away, he got sacked. Then they got Vai.

Re: Malmsteen
Don't particularly fancy listening to either of them, but on the evidence of these two videos I agree with you!

Re: Malmsteen
I did not know he had one, imagine it's a pretty funny read. Bet it says he's pretty cool

Re: Malmsteen
I still haven't forgiven him for his crimes against stratocasters.

Re: Malmsteen
I'd like to see him jam with Richard Thompson. I suspect they'd both have really puzzled looks on their faces.
