This guy has to be a troll, surely it can't be for real??

I reckon BG had one too many kilkennys and started posting under a pseudonym

I liked this song better when it was called "Big Dumb Sex".

BUT it doesn't have a lot to do with their lyrics....some of malmsteens early lyrics are fantastic, but the songs are over looked from a commercial point of view because of his perceived style

I agree that Clapton is no poet laureate. And Plant's not a brilliant lyricist either. He's probably better than Clapton, unless the common man listener in the street person prefers a song about someone's wife looking good at a party than one about the endless battle between night and day.

Not sure about Malmsteens lyrics. I used to have "Marching Out" and the lyrics on that sounded like they were written by a ten year old boy (who still draws cars with guns) But that's just my opinion and I know that he's put out albums before or since, so I don't know if Marching Out's lyrics are a good example of Malmsteen as a lyricist. Which songs do you like?

And even if the original post was a troll, I'm quite interested in this present discussion anyway.
