If it's any help, I hate tennis... so here's a snippet from a recent interview:

It's slightly disappointing then to find that in reality he is perfectly pleasant, with a charmingly sing-song Scandinavian accent and a philosophical attitude towards his position as the creator of neo-classical metal.

And he only swore once.

For the latest tour, which hits Manchester on Saturday, Yngwie has recruited former Judas Priest singer "Ripper" Owens. But he says he is not hogging the limelight from the vocalist.

"It's been the whole situation that I've created for myself," he says. "In that I am the songwriter and I produce the records, and once I go on the road I always bring the best guys that I can have.

"I let them have all the freedom they can have, all the attention they can get. On stage we do a lot of the songs that people know, there's a solo spot and I do some improvisations, it's not like a one-man show.

"It's just that when it comes to making the records I basically do all of it."
