YNGWIE MALMSTEEN - Finnish Press Conference Translated; Photos Available

Metal-Rules.com has issued a translation from a recent press conference that guitar legend YNGWIE MALMSTEEN took part in for the Finnish press. The following is an excerpt:

Q: During the past years you have been called the metal god, the guitar god and a metal legend. How do those titles make you feel?

A: "I have also countless times been called a lot of worse things, so I take everything with a grain of salt! It’s been an equal shower of really good and really bad, but I tend not to take it too seriously. I am extremely self critical and I never ever cut corners on my performance or my recording, live performance or what ever. Its always 500%, maybe 500% effort doesn’t always translate to 500% result, I’m not saying that, but 500% always goes in. Whatever comes out, it all depends!"
