Relentless

The Memoir

De: Yngwie J. Malmsteen

Narrado por: Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Fred Berman

The rock-and-roll memoir of one of the world's greatest guitarists.

Yngwie Malmsteen's revolutionary guitar style - combining elements of classical music with the speed and volume of heavy metal - made him a staple of the 80s rock scene. Decades later, he's still a legend among guitarists, having sold 11 million albums and influenced generations of rockers since.

In Relentless, Malmsteen shares his personal story, from the moment he burst onto the scene, seemingly out of nowhere, in the early 80s to become a household name in the annals of heavy metal. Along the way, he talks about his first bands, going solo, his songwriting and recording process, and the seedy side of the rock business.

Malmsteen was named one of Time magazine's ten greatest electric guitar players.

The author's most recent album, Spellbound, was released in December 2012.

It is Yngwie so that says it all...

I love how Yngwie set a lot of records straight and clarifies a lot of why the 80's and 90's magazines loved to create so much controversy from his words. He was just an outspoken guy but it seems that he never had the intention to get at other guitar players or musicians. It is a really cool humbling vibe coming from The Man himself. A most listen, specially for the typical Yngwie hater.

Yngwie rules

if you love Yngwie you will love this. How do you get that good? Well it's hard work and being a maniac. the guy is unrelenting as the title implies in his conviction and his vision. But he's funny and he has a big heart.

Loved it

Yngwie is one of my guitar heroes. I had no idea about his life story until now. He does repeat things along the way but his passion is without question.

Excellent

Great book by and about one of the most talented and important artists in guitar history.

A MAN,A GOD,A LEGEND🤘

The book is very informative I really enjoy it wish I could play like Yngwie Malmsteen but you got to practice practice practice

very entertaining and inspiring

An enjoyable listen and focused look into the life of someone who carved their own musical niche and inspired countless musicians, myself included. Thank you Yngwie and God bless you!

Amazing book!

After listening to Yngwie Malmsteen for so many years, I greatly appreciate him sharing his memoirs. There were so many things I wondered about, and this book explained so much. Really really enjoyed it. I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates his music and guitar playing.

Reconnection w/ the past & Reaffirmation of future

The.narrator captured Yngwie's self-confidence & belief in all the words he spoke. I was 15 yrs old when I first heard "Black Star". That & subsequent compositions are discussed by Yngwie along with his inspirations, songwriting, musical technique, & personal life. There's more beyond those subjects & I'm not doing his autobiography justice. Truly a great listen with cautionary lessons for all of us.

yngwie rules!

1 of my biggest inspiration's!! his stories on the road and life being a rock star , crazy, but not unexpected!!
