Yngwie Malmsteen's "Trial by Fire: Live in Leningrad" isn't neoclassical metal

As with a number of Yngwie's other vocal releases, the majority of the neoclassical component of 1989's 'Trial by Fire: Live in Leningrad' live album is saved for the guitar solos with only a few instrumental tracks possessing genuinely neoclassical structures. For that reason, I feel that Neoclassical Metal is more of a secondary component with Heavy Metal being the primary basis for the album's sound. Therefore, I'd like to see the Neoclassical Metal genre removed from the release so that it can reside solely under the Heavy Metal genre.
