I fucking love YJM, so no hate here, and I will definitely get his new album and see him live whenever possible. I also think he's a great guy who gets a lot of unnecessary flack. He is one of the greatest ever. Not only as a guitarist but also as a showman.
But god damn if he isn't dropping some of the most Yngwie quotes ever to promote his new record.

The perfectly reasonable idea Yngwie meant to convey: "Well, the theory behind music is universal, so I could really do any genre."
What Yngwie ended up saying: "I could write the greatest country and western song with a reggae/death metal bridge right now on the spot to prove my talent to you, pull it straight out of my soul"
Only Yngwie could stick his foot in mouth like that and fuck up a perfectly sensible answer in which he is trying to convey the reasonable and correct idea that music theory is genre-less and make it about his abilities to write reggae.
Although weirdly enough, maybe he is actually going Reggae/full Bob Marley. The cover for the new album looks like this, because of course it does.
