Heavy Metal Sunday burrows under the covers... it's cold in Sweden!

[gridlore]

Yngwie Malmsteen is a Swedish guitarist, composer, multi-instrumentalist and bandleader. Malmsteen became notable in the mid-1980s for his technical fluency and neo-classical metal compositions, often incorporating high speed picking with harmonic minor scales, diminished scales and sweep picked arpeggios. Four of his albums, from 1984 to 1988, Rising Force, Marching Out, Trilogy, and Odyssey, ranked in the top 100 for sales.

Today, we feature his interpretation of another Swedish musical legend. With Mark Boals on vocals, please enjoy Yngwie Malmsteen playing Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Your Love after Midnight)

Next week, Coppelius ups the Irons!

That's a better cover than the one I have. I want it.

On the subject of covers for the Swedish Honorary Metal Band, here's a cover of a less famous song of theirs. No one I played it to realized it was an ABBA song.
