For those who don't know, Yngwie is a Swedish metal guitar "virtuoso" from the 80's. Make sure you d/l the mp3. Funny stuff

YNGWIE MALMSTEEN threatened to kill a fellow passenger on a flight to Tokyo, Japan after the woman poured a glassful of water on the guitarist.

The passenger, who had no prior contact with Yngwie, allegedly overheard Malmsteen making derogatory comments about homosexuals and decided to show her disapproval by emptying the contents of her glass on the hefty axeman.

A member of Yngwie's touring entourage, who was traveling with Malmsteen at the time, had a tape recorder running and managed to catch Yngwie's reaction on tape immediately after the guitarist was "assaulted" by the offended passenger.

Oh great!
My real name is Yngwie Malmstein, and from now on the TSA is gonna pull me out of every airport boarding line until I get this whole thing sorted out.
Thanks a lot, dude!

Any truth to the rumor that he was going to officially change his middle name to "F***ing"?
