He comes up with a hundred ideas and uses the best nine or 10, which is basically the definition of a genius at work 🤓. This particular album is going to be very neoclassical, because why fix what ain’t broke, right? 🤔 When asked about the key to making instrumental music work, Malmsteen said it’s all about making honest music that comes from the heart ❤️. He’s all about spreading the passion and feeling strongly about the music, just like Niccolò Paganini said 📚.
On the topic of touring, Malmsteen revealed that he’ll be hitting the road in June, July, September, October, and November, because he’s still got it 🎸. The man is a machine, folks 🤖.
