Ben Chasny: I’ve noticed that if a person isn’t well aquatinted with what is known as shredder guitar, they will often think that Malmsteen’s music sounds like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai. The fact is, Malmsteen has always made music much closer to the lineage of Uli Roth and Richie Blackmoore, that is, music based around a riff. This has some of his greatest songs, such as »I Am A Viking« and »Disciples of Hell«.
