Hi 

I was listening to Malmsteen's Rising Force today and it came to my mind to do this poll. I think that both of these guitarist got the same kind of neoclassical playing and  both are inspired a lot by classical music. And they play like monsters !! Being a huge fan of Symphony X (and Romeo), it's an easy choice for me in term of technicality and composing skills. I'm wondering if you have the same opinion. 

And please vote only if you know both of them.

Well Yngwie is obviously more influential, but I just prefer Romeo personally

Michael Romeo is more technically impressive and actually plays music I can enjoy.  Even though he has fat lil hippo fingers.
