===Special guest appearances and side projects===
In 1996, Malmsteen joined forces with former band members [[Jeff Scott Soto]] and [[Marcel Jacob]] on the album ''Human Clay'' where he played lead guitar on the track "Jealousy". In the same year, Malmsteen recorded guitar solos for two different Deep Purple tribute albums, ''Smoke on the Water'' and ''Black Night – Deep Purple Tribute According to New York'', using the alias "Lars Y. Loudamp" on the latter to avoid contractual conflicts. He also guested with [[Saxon (band)|Saxon]] on the song "Denim And Leather" on their live album ''[[The Eagle Has Landed – Part II]]'' (released in 1997). Later that year, Malmsteen recorded the tracks "Enigma suite" and "All opposable thumbs" with his former band members [[Jens Johansson]] and [[Anders Johansson (drummer)|Anders Johansson]] on their album ''Johansson/Sonic Winter''.
