Now I'm thinking ... "no way, that's gotta be a joke".
Well, then I realize who we're talking about & figure ... "yeah, he would do that".
Sure enough, a little searching & I find

Here's the relevant bit:
Jeb: That leads me to the name of the new album, Unleash the Fury. This has to be you having a laugh at yourself. For those who do not know what the album cover means, I will let you tell them.
Yngwie: It has a threefold meaning. The music is truly unleashing the fury. The lyrics on the album have nothing to do with the incident that I am poking fun at. I will give you the short version of it. The entire band was flying first class to Japan in 1988. It was the Odyssey tour. The singer, keyboard player, drummer and myself went fucking crazy on the plane. I don’t think I was as crazy as the others, believe it or not, but I usually get the fucking blame for everything. The keyboard player was the worst. He kept going in the bathroom and getting sanitary napkins. He would then poor Bloody Mary mix on them and throw them on people’s fucking food trays in 1st Class. Some guy is eating Filet Mignons and all of the sudden there is a used rag on his tray. Shit like this kept going on and we were all going, ‘Waaaahhhhhh." It really was just fucking crazy. Finally, we all fell asleep. We woke up having a pitcher of ice water poured over our heads by some lady going, "Cool down boys." I fucking flipped out – this was back when you could actually go fucking crazy on a plane without being thrown in jail. I fucking start screaming and going off. My bodyguard is holding me down to the ground and I am yelling that I am going to kill this fucking bitch. I said that she had unleashed the fury. Some twisted fucking guy recorded all of this – I don’t know who he was. What I find the most interesting is that it happened 18 fucking years ago and it just showed up on the internet two years ago.
