Yngwie MALMSTEEM single handedly took the shred-movement to new heights, then to new lows, when he did, re-did, re-re-did the same albums. He does have killer chops, a really killer sound (that has inspired the YJM308 boss pedal) and one of the worst attitude in guitardom. He is, in my opinion, a guitarist that deserves lots of respect, but he also is one that deserves the fact that he is hated so much...
