YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Threatens To Kill Airline Passenger ...ON TAPE!
From Blabbermouth.com
This is HIGH COMEDY!...All I could think was GOLDMEMBER
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Threatens To Kill Airline Passenger - Dec. 9, 2002
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo, Japan after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist.
The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman.
A member of Yngwie's touring entourage, who was traveling with Malmsteen at the time, had a tape recorder running and managed to catch Yngwie's reaction on tape immediately after the guitarist was "assaulted" by the offended passenger.
To download an MP3 file containing Yngwie's response to the "water attack", including his now-legendary phrase "You've unleashed the "effing" fury," MATURE due to his anger of course...click here (file size: 1.7 MB).

He's a technically brilliant guitarist, but the boy ain't got no soul. And he would wrap his guitar work around some of the lamest pop-metal crap imaginable -- sort of a hybrid between Iron Maiden and Cinderella.
And I find it humoruous that a man named Yngwie would make "derogatory comments about homosexuals."
Downloading the file now. I excpect it to make it to one of my crap-metal mix CDs.

What cracks me up is that he seems to have been flying first class.
Which is funny because:
1) He can afford it?
2) Seems to be "no class" from that little tantrum

One of my old roommates saw him a few times in college and still has a t-shirt that says: ON THE FRONT: "Yngwie Who? ON THE BACK: "Yngwie F****** Malmsteen"

His tantrum was a bit much, but the woman poured water on him.
I would have bitched at her a few times too. It's not like you can just get off the plane and go change your clothes. Who knows how long this flight was.

First off it's freakin water. So unless your the wicked witch of the west big deal. Not like it was some scorchin hot coffee. I guess that just goes to show you should watch what you say when dozens of people can hear every word that comes out of your mouth. What a punk, you can just hear it in his voice.

These idiots (meaning the woman) who feel they're actions are justifyable oughta take a good look at who they are before condemning someone else.
p.s. I also don't think Yngwie's been the same since his near-death experience

For the record I'd probably be pissed if someone dumped water on me too. But then again I don't go around disrespecting people. That's the point I'm trying to make. He should have thought before he spoke. Especially when a few dozen people can hear what you say. Just my 2 cents.

I wish people would handle situations in a more civilized manner than feeling the need to prove a point through some sort of physicallity. Expressing her anger by 'phyical actions' is just asking for anger in return. Now if he physically did something to her in return, I'd feel different, but his deffense were just words.

More info from the original site. Makes a little more sense because Yngwie seems to have mellowed in recent years. Hopefully he's beyond childish behaviour like this now. Now if only he could lose the weight....

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN's 'Unleash The ******' Fury': The Early Years - Dec. 12, 2002
The hilarious recording of Swedish axe hero YNGWIE MALMSTEEN venting his rage at a fellow airline passenger after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist (as exclusively brought to you by BLABBERMOUTH.NET) is reportedly at least a decade old, recorded in the days when vocalist Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE) was in Yngwie's lineup. The voices of drummer Anders Johansson (HAMMERFALL) and bassist Barry Dunaway can both be heard on the tape, which is believed to have been made by Dunaway during his tenure in Malmsteen's touring band in the late '80s.
Although several theories have been put forth with regards to the timing of the tape's release, BLABBERMOUTH.NET can reveal that MALMSTEEN's camp was most certainly not involved in leaking the recording, which arguably captures the notoriously difficult guitarist at his hysterical worst (or best, depending on your point of view).
Since the tape was first posted here on Monday, a phrase utilized by Yngwie on the recording — "You've Unleashed The ******' Fury" — has taken on a life of its own, with many music fans voicing the opinion that it should rightfully take its place as the title of Malmsteen's next solo CD. With that in mind, we wish to present to you an artist's rendition of what the cover art of said album may look like (as sent to us by Nick Baldrian). Check it out at this location.

Hey I've been in her shoes before (if the alligations are correct). I had to listen to this group of biggets talking trash about jews day after day. My step brother is jewish and he's one of the finest people I know. So I finally made a stand because I got sick of it. I most likely would have gotten my @ss kicked by three ignorant sobs but after I gave them a peice of my mind they politely appoligized. Thank god!
Listen to the mp3 and it's pretty obvious that this guy has got a chip on his shoulder. I will agree. The end doesn't justfy the means. But if you talk trash sooner or later someone is bound to do something about it. I'm not in any way condoning what the woman did. Because she should have been more civil. But if I offended someone by something I said I wouldn't throw a tantrum and threaten someones life even if I wasn't serious about it. Especially on a plane. They're a bit jumpy these days with good reason. I'm not going to get into a cat fight over somebody whom I could care less about. I'm in no way trying to disrepect Yngwie either. The guy is an amazing guitarist. But when your in the public eye you have to handle yourself abit differently then the general public. Because people look up to you and judge your actions abit harsher then the average indivdual. Take the Winona Rider's case as an example. If that were any normal person no one whould give a rip and you would never have heard about it. But since she's well known it makes front page news. I know the situations are quite different, but the idea is one in the same. The only point I have been trying to make is people in general should be more respectful towards one another. But that will never happen. Unfortunatly.

No I don't. She still had NO reason to dump water on the guy though. She wasn't even part of his conversation.
From your first few posts it seemed like you were condoning what the woman did.

You know, I actually have some Yngwie albums.
I have his first two on cassette, and his third, "Trilogy," on vinyl. It's the one that has him fighting a dragon with his guitar.
Seriously, how can you not own this?
