Wow, I saw Yngwie back in '85.  Interesting show.

Yngwie just never impressed me, that's all.  He plays guitar really fast.  That's fine.  But he has no soul.  Any competent guitarist can learn to play something really fast if he/she practices enough.

But Yngwie can't hold a candle to anyone with any real passion for the instrument. 

e.g., Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank Zappa, Gary Hoey, Ritchie Blackmore, Vivian Campbell, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Duane Allman, BB King.

Any one of those guitarists and many others are far better guitarists than Yngwie.  Fast != good.

It's just fast.

I see Eddie van Halen is not on that list.

I agree with the omission, intentional or not. All through the 80s, I couldn't fathom people's adulation of Eddie and Yngwie.

Many guitarists were omitted from that list, but it wasn't intended to be a complete list or anything.

Though I'm not really much of an Eddie fan either.

That said, he's still a better guitarist than Yngwie.

And he's nowhere near as fast as Blind Marky Felchtone from Zeke.

I am just glad you spelled Stevie Ray Vaughan right....
