\nGuitar hero YNGWIE MALMSTEEN spoke back in December during an interview about the recording process for his most recent albums, Yngwie said: “Well, it’s changed somewhat because\u2026 I’m actually calling you\u2026 I’m inside my recording studio now. And it’s in my house. And it’s not like a home studio; it’s a full-blown studio. And it’s in here. And I go in here and I see what happens. If I like what I hear, then I use it. If I don’t like it, I don’t use it. And in the past, I used to do demos. I would do demos, and rehearse it with the band and you rent the studio and go in and record it and so forth. It was a very different process because by the time it was actually recorded, it had gone through so many stages that the spontaneity was gone. Now, it’s here now; it’s here now. And it’s a lovely thing.”<\/p>\n
He continued: “I’m in the studio making another album right now. Right now, as we apeak, I’m actually working on a new record. And it’s not, like, ‘Okay, now I’m gonna go in and do it.’ No. it’s just that when I’m inspired, I go in and I do something. If I’m not inspired, I don’t; I do other things. And that was another thing which, in the past, you had to do [things within a certain] time [period]; the clock was running, and it was terrible, [and] I didn’t like it. Now I just do [it] when I feel like it, and before I would have to do it when it was, like\u2026 Also, it was a cycle back then where you did a tour, an album, tour, album\u2026 Now I tour and I record and I tour and record\u2026 Mix and match\u2026 It doesn’t have a schedule like it used to.”<\/p>\n
Asked if he is making the new album himself or if he’s got other people assisting him, Yngwie said: “Well, it depends how you mean. I write everything. I’m thinking about bringing\u2026 I have this guy that sang on my last live album [Nick Marino] \u2014 he’s also a keyboard player \u2014 I might bring him in for a couple of songs. I’m still working on things, so I haven’t made my mind up on [anything] yet. Whatever feels right at the time , that’s what I’ll do. I don’t plan it out before it’s done. It kind of takes on its own life, you know what I mean?! So I would say it’s rather early in the process, the album. It’s not like towards the end.”<\/p>\n
Yngwie released a live album, “Spellbound Live In Tampa”, and a live DVD, “Spellbound Live In Orlando”, last summer. The two releases represent back-to-back Malmsteen shows.<\/p>\n
