To be honest, we haven’t figured out yet exactly how the game should work. But here’s what we have figured out through countless hours of methodical research.
- Yngwie Malmsteen, 80s hair-rock badass and pioneer of the neoclassical/eurometal/ three-headed-dragon-defeating guitar movement, hasn’t changed his wardrobe essentials since 1984.
- Evidence of this can be found in the Tour Photos section of Yngwie’s site, with pics as recent as 2008. Yes, there are a lot.
- The Open-To-The-Navel Puffy Shirt and Way-Too-Tight Black Leather Pants combination is extremely potent, musically and most likely otherwise. A wardrobe malfunction on this guy could wipe out the entire front row.
So…how to make a game out of this?
You could go the easy route, head to the site with your friends and simply take a drink every time you see Yngwie wearing what we like to call his Fingertap Armor. (Not recommended for liability reasons.)
Or you can take the long hard slog approach: Scour the site looking for the one or two times Yngwie is caught sans uniform. It’s like Where’s Waldo with a lot more sweat and hair (and sweat).
Either way, enjoy the Malmsteen.
