Sweden's master of heavy metal guitar Yngwie Malmsteen performs live at the Budokan concert venue in Tokyo, Japan in 1994.

The programme also contains an interview with Malmsteen in which he discusses his life and work.

Inspired by the flamboyance of Hendrix, the digitally dextrous Swede started out playing in bands, but it wasn't long before he was putting his name (and what a name!) to line-ups skilled enough to support a six-string style that leans as much towards the world of classical music as that of rock. In the course of an ongoing career that encompasses ground-breaking music, global gigging, award winning albums, and as many front covers & critical backslaps as one lifetime can sensibly handle, Malmsteen has virtually reinvented the guitar as an instrument to be seen with. This DVD set includes 4 promo videos ("Bedroom Eyes," "Heaven Tonight," "Save Our Love," and "You Don't Remember"), plus an interview with Barry Barnes conducted in 2006 at Malmsteen's studio in Miami, FL.

From Zodiac Mindwarp’s completely excessive ‘Prime Mover’ (directed by TV’s ‘The Young Ones’ star Adrian Edmondson) and the LA Guns’ intelligently sleazy ‘Sex Action’ to such prize rarities as KISS’ sexier European Version of their mega-smash ‘Reason To Live’ and Bon Jovi’s never-seen-on-TV ‘Wild In The Streets’, ‘ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MELTDOWN’ is highly volatile. It is therefore recommended that those possessing it keep it out of sight and reach of those parents or guardians inclined to confiscate such art in a misdirected attempt to insulate their kids from the real and exciting world. Have a good time!
