I met him last year, he was really giant, maybe 6-3 fts. Goran is taller than Yng on 2-3 inches with same heeled boots. By my opinion, for example, Goran's 6-6 fts. (reaches 199 cm) height. Glenn if you have some photos with Goran, please upload... we would like to look at them. Thanks. Mike Warren says on 24/Jun/08

On the newest issue of Guitar World, Yngwie says:"I´m six-foot-four, which is one meter and 93 centimeters."
If he would say that he's 8 ft. you may believe it too? ))))))) Yngwie is a short guy, I'm sure (170 cm not taller)
Dave Bunch says on 24/Jun/08
My friend Matts Olausson worked with Yngwie... Matts is about 5-7 ft. tall. Yngwie Malmsteen taller than Matts on 3-4 inches accurate... so I'd gave him 5-10 ft. not bigger. May be with his heeled boots he reaches 6 ft. shredguy says on 18/Jun/08
I met Yngwie in Frankfurt a few months ago...i consider him being 6.0 ft...just my opinion Yngwie Fan says on 17/Jun/08
Musicfanatic, read my comment dated 23/May/08.
I´ve met Timo Tolkki and he was clearly about 1 inch taller than me so 192 claim is accurate. RisingForceYJM says on 16/Jun/08
Jens gives him his height as 179.5 cm
On a side note Jens former bandmate in Stratovarius Timo Tolkki gives his height as 192 cm so compare Jens and Yngwie to Jens and Timo. musicfanatic says on 10/Jun/08
On the newest issue of Guitar World, Yngwie says:"I´m six-foot-four, which is one meter and 93 centimeters." MattRock says on 9/Jun/08
yea man...they should change the name into ,,shorty yngwie and the 7 foot tall dudes''...yngwie is 6 feet tall... Yngwie Fan says on 9/Jun/08
I saw that arrest video too and that cop really was much taller than Yng, also you can see `Live at Leningrad´ video end where they are lining for getting off stage that Anders is giant compared to Yngwie. RisingForceYJM says on 7/Jun/08
Mike Warren how the f*ck do you know how tall the cops were with Yngwie?
That's the dumbest comment I've heard. glenn says on 7/Jun/08
i have a lost pic with goran and i had no clue he was that tall.i guess he is.as for the others,i dont know.but seeing pics of jens and his brother has me shocked. MattRock says on 6/Jun/08
i'm getting bored of this...i saw those heels..so, if yngwie is 6-3, 6-4, with those boots he's almost 198...are you telling me that he's 198 and you reach his eyeline?...in the second pic he stands straight(except for the head)...if his head would stand straight, you would reach his eyeline...plus, you wasn't sitting straight neither, glenn well...we have two solutions to this...either is glenn 6'1'' ,either is malmsteen a big liar...uhmmm LOL John McMillan says on 6/Jun/08
I'm not sure of his 6-3, but I saw on picture he was standing beside Goran Edman, and Edman was taller Yngwie on 2-3 inches... I still don't know how taller Goran but he must be a really GIANT more than Yngwie Malmsteen!!!! I also saw them on video "Making Love" 1990 and Goran was too much taller than Yngwie... Goran also weared on video heeled boots but he seemed taller than Malmsteen on 10 cm (not less)!!! Is it real that Goran Edman a giant more than Yngwie???? Glenn, do you have photos with Goran Edman? On inlay photos to the album "Fire And Ice" I saw Svante Henrysson were standing beside Mats Olausson and Yngwie Malmsteen... and Svante Henrysson looked taller than Yngwie more than on half-head up (maybe on 15-20 cm)... I feel that Svante must be 205 - 210 cm on height!!!! Is that really true???? MattRock says on 6/Jun/08
well...we have two pics right here...and my cousin says he's 6'4'' and he is 6'1''...and two of my former school friends... Mike Warren says on 6/Jun/08
and I'm sure that Yngwie has six sense of humor and he has a strong psychic energy to inspire all of the people his "giant's" sizes... but he is short guy. I watched him on a TV when he was arrested... the policemen who accompanied Yngwie they were taller than Yngwie on half-head, but they were not very tall (180 cm, not taller)... Yngwie was barefoot and in his home robe :)) He looked very short guy!!!! RisingForceYJM says on 6/Jun/08
And for all of the people who say he's only 6 foot or 6-1 then I have 2 requests.
1.Find multiple pictures where he looks that height.
2.Find any 6 foot or 6-1 guy who has ever claimed to be 6-4 Yngwie Fan says on 6/Jun/08
RisingForceYJM, I did not say top of our heads were the same height, I said that his HAIR was... HIS HAS A LOT MORE HAIR THAN ME, ALSO UPWARDS ! RisingForceYJM says on 6/Jun/08
I was agreeing with you Glenn. I've said all along that he's atleast 6'3" and I thought he was atleast that tall when I met him. MattRock says on 6/Jun/08
,,
Swedish Musician. I don't know, he has said 6ft and to Glenn said 6ft 3. He wear heeled boots, I am not as convinced of his 190cm claim...'' you're not convinced , but you are ??????? glenn says on 6/Jun/08
you guys can argue all you want,but i met him a dozen times over a 20 year period.my friend met him in alcatrazz for fuks sake.this is nothing against you obviously risingforceyjm.he was always 6-3. RisingForceYJM says on 5/Jun/08
No MattRock I met him at one of his concerts. I've never brought a camera to a concert before. I wish I did get a picture although I caught some of his guitar picks and got an autograph which is cool too.
Yngwie Fan you even said that your friends said that the top of your heads were the same height so Yngwie probably just has a lower eye level.You said you're 189 cm and so depending on posture and when he woke up ect. you could appear the same height as him even if he is 2 cm taller. 2 cm is not a lot. Yngwie Fan says on 5/Jun/08
From this link you can see his boots heels, mine have shorter heels and I still was slightly taller.

( Click Here) MattRock says on 3/Jun/08
i met him too , so your arguments are 0 for me...plus, i trust no one( and you don't trust me)...do you have some pics with you and malm ? RisingForceYJM says on 2/Jun/08
Gilbert has claimed 6-4 and I believe it. MattRock you just talk out of your ass. We can actually say that he's 6-3 because we've met him. glenn says on 2/Jun/08
if you say so mattrock.the only way he isnt 6-3 is if he has lifts in his boots. MattRock says on 2/Jun/08
billy sheehan is 6-2 , malmsteen is shorter than sheehan( and malmsteen wears heels)...i dunno how can you actually say that he's 6'3'' MattRock says on 2/Jun/08
oh really...it's more than enough if you have good eyes...if your friends are as tall as you(and you are 171 max), of course he's a giant glenn says on 1/Jun/08
tfriend? try 5 autograph dealers all saying he was a giant.never mind people meeting yngwie once.i met him countless times.once is not enough to judge. glenn says on 1/Jun/08
jake-gilbert has stated his height alot before.i cant remember if it was 6-3 or 6-4.i think its 6-4 as i stood next to him and 6-2 billy sheehan,and paul towered him. Jake says on 1/Jun/08
When is Paul Gilbert going to be added. Also, my Dad met him and my Dad is a straight 5ft11. My Dad described him as a good 3 inches bigger so I'd estimate 6ft 3. MattRock says on 1/Jun/08
you are an idiot...anyone could claim such things...jens johansson said he's between 180-185 meters...i'm sorry, but when i have to choose between jens and two random guys, i choose jens...oh, and glenn...maybe your friend is a midget, that's why ygnwie looked like a giant to him RisingForceYJM says on 1/Jun/08
I met him too and I've said atleast 5 times I know a legit 6-5 guy who estimated Yngwie at 6-4 without boots and 6-5 or 6-6 with. You estimated Yngwie at 6-1 but I've never heard of a 6-1 man who would say he was 6-4. Anything under 6-3 is laughable for Yngwie. I've met him too and so has Glenn so don't try to use you meeting him as a reason why your guess is any better than ours. Yngwie has claimed 6-3 and 6-4 and he looks it in person. Yngwie Fan says on 31/May/08
RisingForceYJM, without boots you will lose your "any amount of money". remember I stood facing him. For sure shorter than me. A special note, I visited Helsinki Finland and walking there I was seem to be about average young male height !
Of cause some were shorter and other longer but surprisingly many of them were about my height or more !! glenn says on 30/May/08
i agree risingforceyjm. RisingForceYJM says on 29/May/08
Well I'll bet any amount of money's atleast 6'3. I have cousins and friends 6'4 so I know what that height looks like and even considering the height his boots give, there is no way he is much under that. He is in the 6'3 to 6'4 range. The most likely thing is he 6'3 legit and said 6'4 to exaggerate an inch like most people do. glenn says on 29/May/08
risingforceyjm-more bs.my friends spotted him in new york too ans said he was a giant.i called ynwie actually that trip.not getting into details.but no,i didnt see him nor do i know him. Dman says on 28/May/08
I met him at the US Courthouse in New York earlier this year, I am 6 foot even. He was wearing his classic heeled boots (1-2 inch high). He is my height - 6 foot tall, and thinner again. Maybe he's 6'3 with the heels and his hair sprayed-up a bit. Alan Simpson says on 27/May/08
I know that Joe Lynn Turner's height 171 cm barefoot. I met him at 2005 in California. In 1989 live in Russia Joe weared very high heeled boots (between 8 - 10 cm) It means that in 1989 he claims 179 - 181 cm in boots. Yngwie Malmsteen seemed taller than Joe on half-head. Yngwie claimed in '89 190 - 192 cm with his boots (3-4 cm) In the end I think that in 1989 Yngwie had height 187 - 189 cm. RisingForceYJM says on 27/May/08
Yeah Glenn he's probably 6'3 since he claimed that height in a recent interview but he can pass for 6'4. I met Yngwie after a show late at night and I had been up since early in the morning. It's possible Yngwie sleeps for a few hours before shows(quite a few musicians do this) and as a result he may have been up for 10 hours less than I was giving him atleast half inch advantage. I am maybe 5-7 flat at night and I may have made the mistake of using my morning height(5-7 3/4) for comparison. Either way I think the 6-4 claim backs up 6-3 minimum for Yngwie even more. The 6-4 claim really kills any BS about him being 6-0 because I've never heard of someone claiming to be 4 inches taller than they really are(or 3 inches even). Jimbo says on 26/May/08
I saw a pic of Yng next to Jens, both wearing normal shoes. Yng was about 4 or 5cm taller than Jens whos 180cm, so I guess Yng is around 184 or 185cm barefeet. That's like 6'1. Someone said 183cm (6ft) earlier which could be right, since people shrink as they age. Dream Catcher says on 26/May/08
Glenn, when we see the picture with Joe Lynn Turner? And we must know his height Dream Catcher says on 26/May/08
Mike Warren - you're wrong too much - how can Yngwie may be 172 cm???????? If you saw him alive you'd take your words away!! Dio - 147 cm )))))))))))) very funny! glenn says on 25/May/08
risingforceyjm-it is interesting since he told me 6-3. glenn says on 25/May/08
mike warren,your an idiot.oh,wait you cant be cause you judged from a magazine.we met yngwie. Mike Warren says on 25/May/08
Yngwie is 172 cm with his boots! Joe Lynn Turner is 150 cm barefoot as I know! On picture with Ronnie Dio I saw Yngwie was taller than Ronnie on half-head, Dio is 147 cm. RisingForceYJM says on 25/May/08
Yngwie's 6'4 claim is interesting because I thought he was 6'4 barefoot and 6'6 in boots when I met him. A 6'5 guy also described him as a 6'4 guy who looks taller because of his boots. MattRock says on 24/May/08
with those heels he's barely 6'2'' Yngwie Fan says on 23/May/08
Dream Catcher: If you read my comments below you get my height in cm. Hint: 23/Apr/08
In newest GW he states 193 because in 1980`s he was asked by Kiss management is he 6 feet tall and he said "I don´t know, I am 183 how it is in foots" now he says 193 to justify his 191 claims. That 183 statement is well documented. Thruth is that he has used lifts for years. 123456789 says on 22/May/08
Why isnt he listed as Lars Lannerback? hehe , Lars is 6'4'' he says so himself in the newest Guitar World where he on the cover. Dream Catcher says on 22/May/08
To Yngwie Fan: I have a question - what is your height in cm?
Who knows who is taller Yngwie Malmsteen or John Norum. Have you ever seen them together anywhere? Yngwie Fan says on 21/May/08
Time when Jens was in his band, remember I have met him and I was definetly taller ,I looked a bit down at him and my friends also testify that he was shorter than me Dream Catcher says on 21/May/08
I don't really understand how Jens Johansson may be 179-180! They seemed the same with Yngwie. Jens doesn't wear heeled boots. glenn says on 20/May/08
yngwie is 6-3. RisingForceYJM says on 20/May/08
When was that Yngwie fan? I am convinced Yngwie is all of 6'3. I've met him in person and he looks 6-5 or 6-6 in boots so 6-3 barefoot sounds right. Yngwie's posture is horrendous in the more recent picture with Glenn yet he still looks atleast 6-2 You're telling me that if he straightens up his posture he wouldn't be 6-3 in that picture? Yngwie Fan says on 20/May/08
His brother Jens said to me that Anders is 193, Jens is about 179-180 cm. Jens also said that Yngwie is between 180-185 but tends to wear thick shoes. glenn says on 20/May/08
norum is about 6-3.i really dont remember goran being so tall.i guess im wrong.anders that tall? really? i wouldve thought 6-4. John McMillan says on 19/May/08
really Goran Edman is taller than Malmsteen on 4" as minimal... I saw once Anders Johansson he seems to me as 6-6 or may be 6-7. I also think that Goran Edman is the same hight as John Norum. But I don't know how tall is John. If you have some info 'bout John Norum please release. Dream Catcher says on 19/May/08
Are you sure that Anders Johansson 193 cm???? I saw on video when he came out from the lift doorway - he seemed to reach out to the top of the doorway (200 cm). I calculate it - I think that Anders probably 197 - 198 cm. He weared boots without any heels. Dream Catcher says on 19/May/08
No way Goran 5-11 jr 6-1!!!!!! If that's right Yngwie must be shortguy 5-9 - 6-0 :)))))))) I don't think that Goran Edman that short. Share new info by the way. Yngwie Fan says on 18/May/08
Anders Johansson (Yngwie´s drummer, also in that Leningrad tour) is 193 cm tall and even in Live at Leningrad video and pics taken with Yng he totally towers over Malmsteen glenn says on 16/May/08
i dont remember goran being that tall.maybe im wrong.i thought 5-11 to 6-1.i have a lost pic with him somewhere. Dream Catcher says on 16/May/08
Who knows how tall is Goran Edman? He seems taller than Yngwie on 10 cm. I saw on the picture of album "Fire & Ice" them. Very interesting that Svante Henrysson looks taller Yngwie on half head (it may be 12-15 cm)!!!!!!! In the way if Yngwie is 6-2 Svante may reaches 2 metres in height!!!! Isn't that right??????? Please share your information with me by this theme :) RisingForceYJM says on 15/May/08
I can probably meet Turner again. I'm sure he is shorter than me. I've heard some people say Turner was 5-8 but there is no way in hell he is 5-8. I've met another Yngwie/Rainbow Singer Doogie White and he seemed about 5-6 and change. Maybe he is a weak 5-7. Yngwie at 21 years old next to Billy Sheehan. Click Here Billy never seemed much shorter than 6-4 Paul Gilbert. Dream Catcher says on 14/May/08
WOW... please recorrect the height data of Joe Lynn Turner if we go to reach the truth of Malmsteen's height! I'm waitin' for your datas... glenn says on 14/May/08
correct.more on the 5-5 though for turner.5-6 is also possible.saw him 8 months ago again.i think i got a pic.not sure. Dream Catcher says on 14/May/08
If Joe Lynn is 166 cm, then on concert in Leningrad he weared boots with very high heels (probably 10 cm), he reached Yngwie's nose-line (176 cm). I can tell that in 1989 Yngwie was 189 cm with his heeled boots. Without boots (3-4 cm) his height reached 185 - 186 cm (6-1 ft.) But I can think that Malmsteen may grow up in those years after 1989 year... but I don't think that too much! RisingForceYJM says on 13/May/08
Joe can look about 5-7 but barefoot he's probably 5-5 or 5-6. Dream Catcher says on 13/May/08
Who can tell me - how tall is Joe Lynn Turner without heeled boots????? If I knew how tall is Joe Lynn I would say how tall is Yngwie... please, tell me!!! Yngwie Fan says on 8/May/08
Sorry but no way 191, he was shorter than me with both wearing boots, we stand face to face RisingForceYJM says on 2/May/08
If Yngwie is 6 foot flat or 6'1 then I am 5'5 or 5'6 and that means the dozens of times I've been measured have been wrong. That also means I'm a 5'5 or 5'6 guy who has been estimated at 5'10 before despite never wearing lifts and only wearing boots to work. He's 6'3 and he was clearly taller than Zakk Wylde who is atleast 6 foot(a guy who also wears boots). Yngwie stood right next to Zakk when Randy Rhoads was inducted into the Rock Walk Of Fame. Yngwie is also taller thna Steve Vai who seems atleast 6'2 to me and wears boots. glenn says on 29/Apr/08
i forgot you met him sam. sam says on 29/Apr/08
definitely around 6 or 6'1 without the boots ! Add say 2 inch heels and voila : 6'3 ! glenn says on 27/Apr/08
thanks for backing me drew. Drew says on 26/Apr/08
Without a doubt 6'3. Glenn is right. I remember seeing him the first time and noticed how small he made his guitar seem compared to him. Yngwie is a large guy Yngwie Fan says on 23/Apr/08
Met him several times, I am 189 cm and both wearing boots his eyes were bit belowe mine, but my 181cm friend said his hair was same level than mine. (I unfortunately have thin hair). In my experience I would say about 185 without lifts. Anonymous says on 23/Apr/08
might be 6'2 Anonymous says on 6/Apr/08
I'm mean in those picture he looks like 6'1 but probably 6'3 when he stands up straight. glenn says on 5/Apr/08
for 2 albums i think. Daniel says on 3/Apr/08
Yes, he was in Loudness too, as far as I know glenn says on 3/Apr/08
crazy nights has gotta go.they have at least 20 studio albums.maybe more.im a huge fan. RisingForceYJM says on 3/Apr/08
I remember Loudness. Crazy Nights and Like Hell! That guitar player was damn good too. glenn says on 3/Apr/08
thats the guy from loudness too i believe.i dont think i ever saw him.which is strange being loudness played here in 1989.i didnt know about it. Daniel says on 2/Apr/08
By the way, Glenn, do you know about Mike Viscera's height? He was the lead singer of Malmsteen's band around 1993 RisingForceYJM says on 2/Apr/08
Eddie Yngwie seems to have lost a ton of weight the last few years. Easily 50 pounds lighter than the second picture now. Eddie says on 1/Apr/08
He's also pretty overweight, he needs to lose it otherwise health issues are gonna start, high cholesterol, heart issues, etc...to much good living charlie says on 30/Mar/08
Thanks Glenn, that's pretty much what I've heard. I guess that's prob. why he's gone through a gazillion singers and musicians in the past 30 years or so. glenn says on 28/Mar/08
yngwie is like the axls and dios of the world.difficult to deal with professionally,but fan friendly.thanks for the support. charlie says on 27/Mar/08
glenn, just outta curiousity, how was he? I've heard he can be a bit of a douche at times. I'm a huge fan, have been since the rising force and marching out days. what's up with that mattrock @#$%#@? I'm sure you know this but 5'8" is not that much under average for an american male, hate the people on here who make comments like that, uncalled for to say the least.
Thanks again Anonymous says on 26/Mar/08
mattrock as I've said I'm 5-7 3/4 and unlike you I actually have an idea how to judge my height against someone elses. If my my head is right around their eyebrows then they are around 6 feet flat usually uless they have a huge forehead or a very small one. Even with Yngwie's bad posture in the 2nd picture Glenn's head is not at Yngwie's eyebrows it's a good inch or 2 below. If you can slouch and still appear 6'2" then chances are you are around 6'3" glenn says on 25/Mar/08
mattrock-**** off.post one more time here and ill have you booted.dont ever tell me i cant tell height cause im short.your a moron. Anonymous says on 25/Mar/08
MattRock you are a moron if you don't notice Yngwie's bad posture in that picture and glenn seems to be just under Yngwie's eyeline. And yes MattRock I can tell because if Yngwie was 6'1" I wouldn't have been looking up to him quite the way I was. Someone around 5'8" can tell 6'1" from 6'3" and like I said I know a 6'5" guy who thought Yngwie was 6'4". Yngwie claims 6'3" and I have seen him look that height and so as glenn. Yngwie was heavier at the time of G3 too so unless both him and Vai are standing straight Yngwie may appear shorter. I've seen yngwie next to Vai and Vai is shorter. Vai is much slimmer though and I've seen Vai in person and he looks to be 6'2" not 6'1". glenn says on 25/Mar/08
excellent point you make on yngwie standing next to his peers.to be taller than vai is impressive. MattRock says on 25/Mar/08
yeah shure, yngwie is 2 meters tall now....dude, your short, you can't tell....more people that met him say that he's 6'1'' with those heels on....oh, watch the goddamn promo clip for g3 , you'll se yngwie is taller than jeo satriani and shorter tha steve vai...and steve vai is 6'1'' max...glenn, you reach yngwie's eyeline , so he's 6'1'' -6'2'' max...if you would judge in centimeters, you could tell Anonymous says on 23/Mar/08
No problem glenn...I mean it's really stupid for people to assume Malmsteen is the only man who wears boots. Sometimes depending on the work I'm doing I wear boots that give me easily what Malmsteen's do too. Considering Malmsteen's bad posture and if your footwear is about equal in the second picture then that backs up what I've known all along and that is Malmsteen is atleast 6'3". Bad posture can easily take away a couple of inches and if you can't see Yngwie is slouching then you are blind. I admit I'm under 5'8" and sometimes I can confuse 6'3" or 6'4" in person and saw Yngwie at 6'4" with boots that made him look taller but then how do you explain a 6'5" man mistaking Yngwie for 6'4" barefoot and 6'6" in boots? Hell standing straight it's not out of the question that Yngwie's morning height is more like 192 cm. I've seen Yngwie next to Billy Sheehan, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde ect. and he was taller than ALL of them. Zakk and Steve I know for a fact wear boots just like Yngwie does at times. glenn says on 23/Mar/08
thank you anonymous. Anonymous says on 23/Mar/08
I can back glenn up on this and I've posted several times Yngwie is easily 6'3". I have met him and even a 6'5" guy I know thought Yngwie was 6'4". He doesn't seem to be standing straight in either picture. glenn says on 21/Mar/08
again he wears various heels.if you met him once or twice,dont talk.i met him multiple times in 1990-1992 and 2000.and my friend met him in alcatrazz. MattRock says on 21/Mar/08
no, but i met him in 92'...he was with those heels a little taller than me...has i said, i'm 6 feet....he was 6'1'' with the heels on glenn says on 20/Mar/08
oh,you were there with me? he didnt have big heels with me.enough of this.im not saying he doesnt wear big heels.he wears all kinds of cowboy boots.heels vary. MattRock says on 19/Mar/08
the heels are big...very big...if you can judge in centimeters, you can tell... glenn says on 19/Mar/08
the heels didnt give much.i had just as much advatage in work boots. MattRock says on 19/Mar/08
yes, but you can judge by the second pic...he's 6'2'' max with heels glenn says on 18/Mar/08
its not stupid cause he told me 6-3 and looked it.men can grow up until late 20s on rare occasion.early 20s is common.you cant always judge by pics. MattRock says on 18/Mar/08
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.. Anonymous says on 17/Mar/08
Yngwie was 19 in Alcatrazz. Still easily young enough to grow an inch or 2. glenn says on 17/Mar/08
that alcatrazz video was 25 years ago at least. MattRock says on 15/Mar/08
Ok, so just watch the video ,,Alcatrazz Island in the sun''...he's almost 6'1'' with those stupid boots...mistery solved...in the video you have the exact measurement MattRock says on 15/Mar/08
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... Malmsteen Fan says on 14/Mar/08
Ok, I saw him 1 hour ago...i´m sorry, but i don´t think he´s 6.3...he looked 6.2 with heeled boots so i would say 6.1 without...as i said, my father is 6.3 so i can compare them very well ;-) Malmsteen Fan says on 12/Mar/08
I will meet him the first time this friday on the fender show in frankfurt (germany). My father is exactly 6.3 ft so i will look wether he looks that tall. glenn says on 12/Mar/08

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. John McMillan says on 11/Mar/08
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!!! glenn says on 11/Mar/08
thank you anonymous. Anonymous says on 10/Mar/08
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. glenn says on 10/Mar/08
nugent is 6-3 or 6-4. nate says on 10/Mar/08
ted nugent i thought was like 5'11 Anonymous says on 7/Mar/08
I have met Yngwie and he looked 6'6" in boots.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 with those huge boots he's taller than me" Yngwie is huge. Easily 6'3" maybe a bit more. I had him pegged at 6'4" honestly myself. glenn says on 4/Mar/08
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. Anonymous says on 3/Mar/08
does kind of look a weak 6ft3 in the second pic in first pic he looks 6ft1 with a slouch marian says on 3/Mar/08
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". glenn says on 3/Mar/08
you are taking ****.if i say you are,you are.whoopie doo.you met him once.ive been meeting him for 20 years.my friend met him since alcatrazz in 1983 or so.do you know what that is? in fact yngwie was just here in new york. marian says on 2/Mar/08
i met yngwie just like you, i'm not talking ****
i'm 6'1" with low sport shoes, and yngwie was as tall as me with his boots glenn says on 16/Feb/08
nope.6-3. Anonymous says on 15/Feb/08

your all morons.you talk **** and never met him. Anonymous says on 1/Feb/08
I agree with rock man 6'2 max, would say 6'0-6'1. r says on 17/Jan/08
this guy is no more than 183cm. he just wear big boots glenn says on 14/Jan/08
in the early 90s he was a little difficult.still posed with you,but you had to ask a couple times and he would walk fast.he is alot nicer now.very nice. g says on 13/Jan/08
with his huge ego , he must feel like 8 feet. btw great guitar player but he looks cool in the pics, was he cool glen?? Rock man says on 21/Dec/07
vai is 6-2.MAX!!!!!!!!! glenn says on 19/Dec/07
vai is 6-2. Nate says on 17/Dec/07
speaking of guitar legends what about steve vai's height? glenn says on 16/Dec/07
bull.he is wearing boots in both my pics. marian says on 16/Dec/07
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. Rock man says on 9/Dec/07
marian Yngwie 183 sm????!!! marian says on 7/Dec/07
i've just met yngwie before an interview
with his boots on, he's as tall as me with normal shoes (i'm 6'0 3/4)
he's no more than 1.82m 1.83m Anonymous says on 4/Dec/07
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. glenn says on 4/Dec/07
really? i havnt seen zach since 1994.saw him as far back as 1988.seemed 6ft to me.maybe your right. Anonymous says on 3/Dec/07
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. glenn says on 1/Dec/07
thanks rob. Stazen says on 1/Dec/07
Yngwie its Real 191 sm!
My friend and the friend was at concert Yngwie Malmsteen in Finland!!!
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!!! glenn says on 1/Dec/07
the year 2000,in his tour bus,new york city. Rock man says on 30/Nov/07
On Foto Yngwie max 185 sm!!! Fakt Anonymous says on 30/Nov/07
Glenn where was the recent picture from? Anonymous says on 29/Nov/07
I honestly thought 6'4" for when i saw him. I know someone who claims to be 6'5" who said "I am 6'5" and Yngwie is 6'4' but he was taller than me because of his boota" Probably 6'3" is right because I haven't met a 6'1" guy who has looked 6'3"-6'4" before much less 3 different times. glenn says on 27/Nov/07
you have a right to your beliefs.dont change him if you dont want to.but its leaning heavily towards 6-3 more than ever. glenn says on 27/Nov/07
you hear that rob?
[Editor Rob: yes, maybe I will rest him at what he wants, even though I still aint so sure.] Anonymous says on 26/Nov/07
Glenn we were right. 6'3" for Yngwie he claims it in this interview.
Click Here
"Are you 6 feet tall?’ I was like, I don’t know, because I’m 1.90m, I’m tall you know, I’m more that 1.91m or something, I’m tall you know? I probably would have if I had told them I’m 6.3ft if I had known, so that was funny!"
So 1.90-1.91? I'd go with 1.91 because he looks every bit of that. Time for an upgrade Editor Rob. You heard it from Yngwie himself plus Glenn has seen him in person a few times and says Yngwie isn't lying. Brian says on 5/Nov/07
6'1" maybe 6'2" Met him in 1996. He had boots on. Dguitarist. says on 13/Oct/07
who is that glenn?,that appears almost in every
pic with stars AshnarLynx says on 29/Sep/07
Doesnt look more than 6'1 on those pictures. glenn says on 10/Aug/07
nugent is 6-3 or 6-4. Larry says on 10/Aug/07
Talking about guitar heroes, anyone here knows how tall is Ted Nugent? Albi says on 26/Jul/07
He has at most 14cm on Glenn. Is Glenn the one who's wearing the boots now? glenn says on 15/Jul/07
only those that met him know.he is 6-3. GFSociety says on 14/Jul/07

Here you have Yngwie with Miguel Sigales (179cm (5'10.5'') )
To me, Yngwie is not taller than 6' Anonymous says on 21/Jun/07
Easily 6'3 he looked 6'4 when I saw him Stefanie says on 17/May/07
I'm from sweden, and I have met Malmsteen and I'm pretty shore he is 6ft 1 in , if not even taller, and it looks like a real photo. glenn says on 17/Mar/07
he told me 6-3 and looked it. DaMan says on 15/Mar/07
I do not see anything over 6-2 for Malmsteen based on the 2nd pic. Glenn is less than an inch below Yngwie's eyeline, how are people getting 6-3 from that pic if Glenn is 5-8? Ade says on 20/Jan/07
Really? That's a pretty good photoshop then, with the shadows and all. Fredrik says on 19/Jan/07
That pic of Malmsteen with Gilbert is not real.... I mean, they've put two pics together. Ade says on 19/Jan/07
If they both stood up straight Yngwie would still be shorter IMO. And I've never seen Gilbert wear boots. Anonymous says on 19/Jan/07
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. Stazen says on 5/Jan/07
It is not yet known what boots carries Glenn???!!!
Probably on a high heel!!! 8-12 sm!!!
And Yngwie 191 sm!!! he spoke by phone!!!
Recently!! Stazen says on 5/Jan/07

Recently!! Danny says on 5/Jan/07
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. Fredrik says on 4/Jan/07
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'' Glenn says on 3/Jan/07
Satch is 5-7ish,5-8.yes,Rob,he always wears heels.but he did look 6-5 in the flesh in that one pic. Middle-sized cat says on 2/Jan/07
Same height as Steve Vai, according to Joe Satriani. (Glenn, is Satch 5'7"?) Glenn says on 2/Jan/07
I never understood the first pic,1990.2000,he was a giant.though,I recall my friend saying he was very tall in 1990.mustve been a rare occasion of me on my tip toes,him in gutter? he seemed a true 6-3 in 2nd pic.
[Editor Rob: does he wear near 2 inch boots a lot?] DaMan says on 2/Jan/07
Nah, I'd give him 6'1", 6'1.5" max based on the second pic. |
