== Tropes that apply to Yngwie Malmsteen ==
* [[Ascended Meme]] - After an audio tape of a very-drunk Malmsteen ranting at someone for spilling water on him on an airplane leaked and became popular on the internet, he titled his next album (''Unleash the Fury'') after the best-known line from the rant. ("You've [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|released]] the fucking fury!")
* [[Chronological Album Title]] - ''Trilogy'' and ''The Seventh Sign''
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]] - The aforementioned rant.
** ''[[The Onion]]'' referenced this in a sidebar article where Yngwie legally changed his middle name to "Fucking".
* [[Cover Album]] - ''Inspiration''
* [[Flip -Flop of God]] - An instrumental from an instruction video was called "Arpeggios From Hell", later recorded with his band as "Molto Arpeggiosa", and then recorded with the "Arpeggios From Hell" title.
* [[Heavy Mithril]] - On occasion.
* [[I Am the Band]] - The first few albums were credited to Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force, but he eventually decided to stop pretending that the band wasn't really him and whoever else was around.
