Yngwie's Unleashed the Focking Slim-Fast!

[Ksyrup]

YNGWIE Loses 50 lbs! and is a Health Freak

The following message was sent earlier today (Nov. 9) to YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN fan club members from the fan club's director, Anne Petty:



"Just got off the phone with Yngwie. Had a wonderful chat for a little over an hour, and got quite a few questions answered for the next newsletter. The new album is mixed, and he is just working on the sequencing of tracks before it is mastered. I know the album title, but I'm not allowed to tell. It might leak out anyway, but I'll say no more until he gives me the green light on that. This album will be quite long, with many different moods and styles of songs.

"He was very upbeat, in a great mood, can't wait to get out on the road early next year to promote this new effort. Says he's in great health — has turned into a health nut, no alcohol, no cigarettes, lots of tennis and working out. Has lost over 50 pounds. It's all good!" A photo of the newly slimmed down Yngwie can be seen on the eBay auction page http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47069&item=3759595332&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47069&item=3759595332&rd=1&session=0wKWTbt4JfQf991OBwdZqSqrlq) for the 1996 Malmsteen Model Fender Stratocaster which he is currently selling.

What the fuck is a Yngwie?

Are you saying you're a member of the Yngwie Malmsteen fan club?

Who the hell is Yngwie Malmsteen?

[Eagle458]

I actually owed a couple of his cassettes back in the 80's.
Good guitartist. Definetly had his own distinct sound.

[Desnudo]

I thought his deal was the pan flute.

Who the hell is Yngwie Malmsteen?
No, I got this from another site.

Yngwie is a great guitarist...even better in his own mind.

I thought his deal was the meat flute.
Fixed that for ya.

[Desnudo]

I thought his deal was duckman's meat flute.

Typo.

[duckman]

Typo.
Touche'.

BTW, since some of you don't know who Yngwie is, you probably don't know the story behind the "focking fury" comment. Here's the original story, and there's even a link to the audio:



YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo, Japan after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist.

The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman.

A member of Yngwie's touring entourage, who was traveling with Malmsteen at the time, had a tape recorder running and managed to catch Yngwie's reaction on tape immediately after the guitarist was "assaulted" by the offended passenger.
