IT'S 1983...he's growing period was long over...back then he was already twenty...glenn, im 6 feet,and no offense, but a 5'8'' guy is very small...if yngwie was truly 6'3'' in the second photo, he should have been with a head taller than you...even more...after all, those are almost 20 cm...in the second photo you almost reach his eyeline( wich means he's 10 cm taller than you)...plus the boots have huge heels, i saw them once...if he is 190 cm tall, with those heels he should be like 195-196...you can't say he grown with 7-8 cm in 1 year...after 21, you stop growing...this is getting stupid....yngwie , 6-3...LOL..

Yngwie was 19 in Alcatrazz. Still easily young enough to grow an inch or 2.

Guys...in 1983 he was 20 years old...then he already started wearing some boots(that made him taller with like 3-5 cm)...and in the alcatrazz video no parole from rock n roll you can see he's 6'1''...with the boots...and you can't give me **** like ,, he's gotten bigger( he couldn't just grow almost 10 cm after the age of 20)...so, the mistery is solved...

No problem glenn. Anyone who has met him and has any clue of how to judge heights would say he's around 6'3". Anyone who says 6 foot either has never met him or has no clue how to judge someones height.

I first saw Yngwie in concert, and I thought he's 170-172 cm!!! But in 1998 I stood near Yngwie after concert and I was raelly affected - he was 197 cm on his heeled shoes!!!!! I saw heim going through the doorway (that has 200 cm heght) and his head raelly was reached out to the top of the doorway!!!

marian 6 foot is just stupid for Malmsteen. I met him and he is around 6'6" in boots and I know a 6'5" guy who met him and said something along the lines of "Yngwie is 6-4 and I'm 6-5 but when he wears those huge boots he's taller than me". I am 5'7.75" and people who are 6 feet flat don't tower over me like Yngwie did. Yngwie is atleast 6'3" if not taller.

marian-6ft is absurd either way.even if i was wrong he has to be at least 6-1.in the earlier pic above he might be in the gutter.though i must agree i thought he was 6ft in the early 80s.not meeting him of course.he grew maybe.

Glenn, don't get angry. I'm not talkin' ****. I'm not taller than 6'1" and Yngwie was just like me with his boots on. I would noticed if he was a really big 6'3" guy. He's tall and appears being giant, his back is huge, but he's no more than 6".

yeap, he's no more than that
I met him twice, the second one he was wearing really high heeled cowboy boots, maybe they're custom-made because texas boots don't have that kind of heels.
He's 1,82cm 83cm barefoot, no more, no less.

I saw 2 threads about Zakk's height on the BLS forums and everyone said 6'1" and 6'2". Zakk's 6'2" claim may not mean much because Zakk jokes about everything. He is atleast 6 feet. Like Yngwie hard to tell because of his boots. Me and a few other people thought Yngwie was 6'4" so Zakk could be 6'0"-6'1" and just have appeared 6'2" because of footwear. I'd guess 6'2" is accurate still and I'd be shocked if he was under 6'0". Many people appear shorter at times than they are for example a 5'9" friend of mine met George Lynch and said he was the same height as him but you have said Lynch is 5'11". 5'11" seems more accurate for Lynch because he is slightly taller than 5'10"-5'11" Pilson. George was always close to Don Dokken's height and I'm pretty sure Don is 5'11"-6'0". I always guessed Pilson was like 5'7" until I saw him next to Vinny Appice. Strange that he always looks like he'd be a short guy.

6'3" really makes the most sense for Yngwie. Zakk Wylde is another tall guitarist. He claims to be 6'2" and I'd say he is atleast that big. I've met him and he seemed even taller but it could have been his boots. He also towered over Ozzy who was 5'10" in his prime.

Yngwie its Real 191 sm!

And so growth of the friend of 197 sm (without a boot) and it{he} stood near Yngwie beside (close) after a concert and it{he} was the same heights as Yngwie Malmsteen!
It{He} was in gym shoes! And it{he} was one height with Yngwie!
I trust it{him} I it{him} I know! And I know precisely that it{he} of 197 sm-wash{-my} the friend!
Hence Yngwie in boots there will be 197 sm! - a minus a heel of 6 sm Total 191 sm!
I do not know why disputes concerning growth Yngwie here are conducted!
All is there and then obvious that Yngwie It s Very Tall Cool Man!!!

Hell if Yngwie was standing up straight in that picture than he'd probably be the same height as Paul. I'd say 6'3 is correct. And you can't rule out Paul wearing boots I mean Yngwie isn't the only person in the world who wears boots.

Yngwie's still a mystery to me, he looks 5-10 in the first pic and doesn't seem to be slouching and like 6-3 in the second..I know he's a big guy but I've never seen him without his big heeled boots either...I've heard Malmsteen say he's 190cm in a recent interview, which Glen says is true...but I still have a small doubt that he's this tall, that's the height I'd give him with those boots on..I'll try to find more evidence.

He's ALWAYS wearing really big heeled boots.
When he said he's 6' (183cm) he was 18 years, maybe he's grown a bit more... could be almost an inch taller so to me he's 184,185cm. With 5cm heels, he's just under the line of the 6'3''
