Yngwie wanks guitars so hard, they ejaculate. In a good way. Positive ejaculation.
Is there such a thing as negative ejaculation?
Furthermore, while I totally respect Yngwie's talent, I cannot listen to him all the time. His blatant disregard for song structure is something I can only indulge myself in occasionally.

I saw The Hold Steady play with Thunderbirds Are Now! and The Constantines a few weeks ago. Everyone in The Hold Steady and TAN! are so short, then the Constantines come onstage and they are a bunch of lanky fuckers (except for Dallas)... It was funny.
I thought the Hold Steady were pretty annoying, Craig Finn was spitting all over the audience and dancing around like he has Parkinson's disease (not trying to be an insensitive prick, but it's true). In addition to this, their keys were turned up so overbearingly loud that it made them sound all muddled. I suppose that's not so bad because I didn't have to hear Craig Finn's voice. ;)
