October 10, 2008, 15 years ago
Hall Of Metal has issued an interview with guitar hero YNGWIE MALMSTEEN. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Danyfender:
Q: Perpetual Flame is the first release of your brand new record company Rising Force Records. Tell us a bit about how the idea of creating a label came up and what future plans you have for it. Have you got any interesting bands? Will you concentrate on new bands or there will be a place for classical ones?
A: "The way the music industry has changed lately this is the logical step forward. Rising Force records started by April Malmsteen my manager and wife to release and promote new and old releases. As time moves on Rising Force Records will be looking at other artist/bands as well."
Q: Very soon you will be included in the Hollywood's RockWalk. How do you feel for this recognition?
A: "It is very honouring and humbling!! But, honestly I have not had time to reflect on it yet."
Q: In November, a new design of your Fender Signature Yngwie Malmsteen will come out. There will be only 100 copies, what can you tell us about it?
A: "It is an incredible honour that they will replicate the very guitar that I took with me when I came to America. It is so exact I cannot tell the difference from a guitar that I have owned for thirty years. Those guys are geniuses."
