Yngwie Malmsteen was provoked by a stage lighting technician amid a concert in Monterrey, Mexico, last week (Feb. 28) during the legendary Swedish musician's recent tour of the country.
It happened while Malmsteen and his band performed at the venue Escena in the Industrial Capital of Mexico, a show that was set up by concert promoter MB Live. The following day, that same promoter shared the footage of Malmsteen's sharp but brief onstage tirade. "A little bit of what was seen yesterday with Official Yngwie Malmsteen and the problem of lights in Monterrey," a Facebook update said.
Watch the incident at a minute and a half into the video located toward the bottom of this post.
"OK, thank you, I love you guys," Malmsteen says after finishing a blistering guitar solo. However, his voice then goes up a notch. "Mister lighting guy, stop fucking around with the lights and keep the lights on my guitar. I'm trying to play for the people. Por favor, thank you."
It's not the first time the guitarist has granted concertgoers a display of aggression. Last year, Malmsteen attempted to destroy a "smash-proof" guitar in front of delighted attendees. A throwback to one of the many times the musician killed a trusty Fender Stratocaster onstage, Malmsteen was unable to break the titanium Sandvik instrument.

The dormant, highly sought-after six-string was awoken by a blaze of high-gain glory, playing host to Malmsteen’s dizzying technical wizardry
There are not many repositories of ridiculously tasty guitar work on the internet that can match the sheer sensationalism of Yngwie Malmsteen’s YouTube channel, and now the neoclassical shred legend has treated us to yet another clip of his trademark style of awe-inspiring playing.
However, rather than playing his tried and trusted Fender signature Strat, or even his recently acquired Jimmy Page Fender Dragon replica Telecaster, the electric guitar virtuoso instead opts for a Les Paul – more specifically, he opts for a vintage 1959 Gibson Les Paul.
The much sought-after Les Paul in question, which has probably had it fairly easy over the past few years (no doubt residing in a collector's case or on display somewhere), was energetically awoken from its slumber in a blaze of high-gain glory, and transformed into an absolute shred machine by Malmsteen.
Without knowing what had hit it, the highly desirable model was soon playing host to a series of jaw-dropping two-hand tapping sequences, silky fretboard-spanning scale lines and blink-and-you’ll-miss-them lead exchanges.
In 58 seconds, the Swedish wizard seemingly plays more notes on the vintage axe than it has experienced in its entire life, and is left, unsurprisingly, feeling very satisfied with the six-string.
