Sorry for some reason I thought Syl was from Sweden and would therefore know who Yngwie (pronounced ing-vay here in the US) was by default - he was recently inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame. He bought the idea of mixing classical pieces into metal with electric guitar to the masses and spawned a genre known as neoclassical metal. Here is an instrumental and a Viking themed song from his mid 80s releases: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blNQZc84Q5c&list=PL0t0vRFW28R-eIlp0M6qNyoPzvbPVgkJC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcwcxBf_fTE Sorry for the mixup.

There were some good surprises in this show. Thanks Syl for mentioning Viking Metal. I used to like/play a lot of Yngwie type stuff, but I did not know about the genre. I now have a new Pandora station - metal with flutes, who knew.
