  Yngwie J. Malmsteen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yngwie Johann Malmsteen (born Lars Johann Yngve Lannerbäck, June 30, 1963) is a Swedish guitarist, composer and bandleader.
Malmsteen was in his teens when he first encountered the music of the 19th-century violin virtuoso Niccolo Paganini, whom he cites as his biggest classical influence.
Malmsteen cites the Fender Stratocaster and the single coil pickups (of which he uses his custom design by DiMarzio, which are actually a vertically-stacked humbucker mounted in a single coil housing Malmsteen sought to combine the tone of a single coil with the reduced noise of a humbucker) as being instrumental to his unique tone.

Malmsteen is often criticized for playing music that is so focused on prowess that it has no real soul ot heart—it's as hollow and empty as his guitar case.

Both of them said (roughly paraphrased) that initially they were apprehensive about having Malmsteen on the G-3 tour (presumably due to his reputation) but when they actually heard/saw him play they were blown away.
I saw G3 also, Yngwie by far was the best of the three guitarists, I think his personality motivated him to be his best, because he was kind of going up against 2 good guitarists, but his ego sure made him go up for the challenge, and he seriously kicked some ass.
Malmsteen earned the laurel wreath of guitar neo-classical god through his concerto album.

 Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - Unleash the Fury Review
“Winds of War” is not your typical Malmsteen song; it has melodic vocals with heavy overtones that change his traditional rippling guitar work of the master.
It’s hard to believe, but one of the songs that really got to me was an instrumental called “Guardian Angel” which has a vibe that will put you in a dream state.
Ending in true Malmsteen fashion is “Paraphrase” an instrumental more in the vein of Viking metal.
