以下
Q:質問 YM:イングヴェイ・マルムスティーン
Q:Can you go a little bit further with your idea of less is more and more is less
YM:it's very simple it's very simple you know it's very simple I remember when I was first starting recording the first solo tour Steeler album was produced by Mike morning but it wasn't really small as in they go yeah great great and then the second one did was actress I producer in there and it kept on tell me to slow down you know I said hey slow down oh no no remember less is more that's the Morrison and I always said how can that be how could less be more it's impossible more is more you know simple simple logic and so that it became a little bit of a joke and you know motto so so I like the most marshals and the fastest notes and stuff faster Scott whatever I like I like it because it's fun and you know why dude halfway I just can't see why less is more as impossible for me to relate
Q:what's your legacy so far in your opinion it's a big question but what what do you feel in the big picture is what you've brought to to music
YM: I can tell you this much that I went to America with one guitar one extra pair of pants and a toothbrush with a no direct plan you know and the fact I'm sitting here now 27 years later told you you is mind boggling which means that people still give us you know a hoot but what I'm doing to me that is the reward you know that it's not only being great all of like really great but it's been great for a long long time you know and I never really expected that you know I never thought that it would happen and so I take take that as a great gift you know
Q:what do you think it is you did specifically musically that allowed you to be here 20 cents
YM:the only thing I can think of is the fact that I've always been stubborn and extremely dedicated to what I do and I really believe in what I do and to quote niccolò paganini one must feel strongly to make others feel strongly it's a gamble but I think that's what makes it work because if we just follow the wind you blow away one day you know and I've always kinda liked taking the good with the bad and you know criticism I you used to you know so I just as long as I believe in what I'm doing I think that's the right thing to do I think that's why I'm still here
