Final installment, and I've saved the best for last: "Dreaming (Tell Me) by Yngwie J. Malmsteen from his "Trial By Fire - Live In Leningrad '89" album and DVD:
This is one of my absolute favorite songs irrespective of genre, and the first YJM song I learned how to play back in '92 or so. The first electric guitar solo is the epitome of emotional playing, and it still brings a tear to my eyes when I hear it - even to this day, and even when I'm playing it myself. Believe it or not, but what first drew me to Yngwie's playing was actually the emotional content and not the sheer speed.
That's it for Power Ballad September - hope you've enjoyed it.

I was waiting for this song to come.
Saving the best for last!
Ah, you already said that.
Well, a good thing cannot be stated too often.
..what first drew me to Yngwie's playing was actually the emotional content and not the sheer speed.
Actually, while no fan of mr. Malmsteen, I do enjoy his playing when he slows down. I agree with the emotional part, and he does have an ear for melody. How do you like Angels of Love?
You know; I haven't got it yet. For whatever reason it was unavailable on both Amazon and CDON last time I checked.
BAstards. Don't they have a taste in music? I think it's available now.
I'll get to checkin'
