Я случайно нашла CD disk with Maximum security. И пришла в восторг. Теперь я купила другие альбомы и буду слушать в автомобиле. Лучшего исполнения гитарной музыки я не слышала. Я слушаю один и тот же альбом без замены на другую музыку, так как эта музыка просто гениальная. Браво мастеру.
Some 32 years ago I heard this tune on the Friday Rock Show, recorded it on a tape and played it to death that year. I then taped over it by mistake and haven't heard it since. I've searched high and low for this tune for the last 32 years and finally tracked it down tonight. Emotional wouldn't even come close to describe the first listen through with any justice. Epic tune, thank you Tony.
I personally know Tony is a great guy, he was my neighbor across the street from me for over 15 years when I was a teenager and he was a few years older. We used to hang out and play guitar on the porch. Great guitar and piano player, his father and sisters were all so talented. Tony should always be mentioned in the same conversation as Eddie Van Halen, yngwie malmsteen, Steve via, BB King and all the greats !
I took a couple of lessons from Tony in 85/86...sorry my memory is hazy....but I went out and got a BC Rich ST3 cuz of Tony...great guitars...Tony is an awesome human
Got to play his red BC Rich at a early afternoon soundcheck rad guitar. Both he and Mike Terrana amazing monster players\ ppl .....miss these days ....
Tony is one of the best! Met him once at a local guitar store. I asked him, how are you SO GOOD at both guitar AND PIANO?! He said, I played all the time, I literally had no social life. Such a nice guy to talk with.
@@dexterhynes9417 I did the same years ago. If you love it, keep at it. For me, life got in the way, as with many others...just couldn't be locked in the room any longer. Long story short...I play a little here and there now. I stopped for 10 years and didn't expect that to ever happen.
@@dexterhynes9417 I hope you are spending the majority of your time working on your own material. It's the only way to make it by writing your own songs. Practice is great, but Focus is the game.
@@dexterhynes9417 10 hours is too much and is counterproductive. I used to play 8 at one time, then switched to 5 and i got better. Its not a matter of how much time you spend, but HOW spend it
@@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066 I played that long purely out of my own enjoyment, not necessarily to get better, I did progress very fast and could sweep pick during my 2nd year playing, I learned the painkiller solo not too long after that. Was never able to shred though for some reason
Timeless indeed! Just like Allan Holdsworth's Proto Cosmos, John Petrucci's Glassgow Kiss, Steve Vai's For The Love Of God, Joe Satriani's Satchboogie, Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Far Beyond The Sun, etc.
@@The_Archvile 🤔 You probably know it already, but Vinnie Moore's first album has MacAlpine on keys + Tommy Aldridge on drums and it's *SICK* from end to end! ☮️+💜+🎶
Funny how people never talk about how he was also one of the top session muscians on keyboards back in the 80's. Just look at Vinnie Moore's 'Minds Eye' for an example.
@Rough Boy That'd be like trying to choose one's favorite daughter, wouldn't it? There are so many of his songs that just hit that "spot", you know what I mean? And even sometimes Tony will just hit a single note, a single perfect note that could be no different, and I'm like Salieri in the movie Amadeus obsessively rewinding and listening to it a dozen times. But I hear that "Joe" guy can play. His buddy Steve, too, I hear. :)
@Rough Boy Wow, that was nice. I remember when How got signed, after Tony, and I assumed he just released that one album. I read a funny interview with him where he said he learned to play Eruption WITHOUT TAPPING at the end, because he simply didn't know that Eddie was tapping :) He said it was kind of rough, but he could play it...
The way Tony plays is an unteachable art that all the practice in the world cannot achieve. He not only writes beautiful songs, he composes these ethereal dreamscapes. Just one listen and a Tony Macalpine song replays itself in your head for days and days with their hauntingly sublime, beautiful melodies paired with unspeakably lush chord voicings and an absolutely merciless shred game. His creativity and sense of melody is simply....3D. It's not even fair to compare him to other neo-classical shredders of the era because even the best offerings from among them can easily sound like standard, one dimensional, dungeons and dragons type Bach rock. Well done Sir.
i've seen live twice and he played this song both times and i'm sure he plays it every show, but it never gets old. This is my end game - boss battle music.
this entire album is a must have...inspiring guitar player.. he has inspired me greatly over the years.. hope you are getting stronger everyday Tony.. God Bless
Thats because it is a B.C. Rich my guy! I would love to have a B.C. Rich with a maple fret board with black diamond inlays, i don't even know if they have a fret board like that
If you like this you'd like the whole album, I have this and edge of insanity and love them both. I've been a fan of tony macalpine since the early to mid 80's
when this first came out I had it on cassette tape but I never saw any videos of him back then so it's cool that now can see all these old videos thanks for posting
For all the little weenies out there that do not appreciate the stellar ability of this man...go back and listen to both kinds of music...COUNTRY & WESTERN
I had never heard of this guy until just a few moments ago. I'm not really into shredders, but he's clearly a very melodic and talented player who doesn't wank because he can. Really suprised no one has ever mentioned him when talking about virtuosic guitar players in real life nor online.
You'd have to have been of age during the '80s Shrapnel Records days. The guy may be a jerk, but no one can deny that Yngwie Malmsteen was probably the most influencial post-Van Halen guitarist of all time. Tony owes nothing musically to Malmsteen, but I I think he did create the market.
So tasteful and melodic, have not heard this for 30 years. A wonderful guitar and keyboardplayer .He was an extrodinary sidekick with Stevie Vai during his peak.
got to see Tony play at the Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas with Steve, Billy, and the rest of the Breed. Then I was honored to see them again in Dallas at the Granada Theater n actually got to briefly meet them, what a great bunch of guitar Gods 🎵🎤🎸😍
Elder people at the '80s disliked the appearance of all these Musicians ...but They and their Music will live FOREVER!!! They will always be TITAN GODS!!!
I’m 27 Years Old & Have Been Playing Guitar 🎸 Since I Was 13. George Lynch (MR. SCARY) Is My Favorite Guitarist Of All Time. I’m Always Looking 👀 For Beautiful Guitar Music 🎶 & I Just Stumbled Across This Gem 💎 His Vibrato & Playing Remind Me Of Lynch.😊👋🤟
I heard Kings Cup on friday rock show uk in 1987 i kept the cassette and i only found out a few years ago who it was, i posted it up on you tube. It was Tony Macalpine...only took me 30 years to find out who this great player was !

You gotta see him live when you get a chance. His live performances are flawless
Listen to Porcelain Doll or the intro to I Can See it in Your Eyes. Tony has emotion like nobody else.

I agree in 2022🤘
Last half of 2022 going into 2023, mai guy!!!¡¡ !!¡ ¡!!
But did you guys hear the remake?

Tony Macalpine is extremely versatile and uses the perfect tone

his melodies are timeless , he puts such a feeling on his playing , one of the best guitar players out there
Me too , his Maximun Security album is a masterpiece
Wow...this was my favorite track the week it came out. Hmmm I think it still is:)
Just saw Tony Last night in Michigan! got my Pic taken with him also! He is a Awesome Guy to chat with too!
BTW! Tony still Has it! He played the whole maximum Security ! And then Some!!
His chops are even better live , i saw him live twice , once playing with Vai and i can say for sure he´s a bit ahead of Steve :)
One of the most respected musicians in the business that you never hear about.
Tony is one of the best! Met him once at a local guitar store. I asked him, how are you SO GOOD at both guitar AND PIANO?! He said, I played all the time, I literally had no social life. Such a nice guy to talk with.

Minds Eyes was awesome, but I'm pretty sure most people already knows he played keyboards with Vinnie.
Walt Powell that’s crazy
Tony and Vinnie are criminally underrated. They should play together on some songs!!! That would he amazing.
There are others, but I think Tony is probably my all-time favorite guitar player. His songs are so beautiful... he's a modern day Chopin.

@Rough Boy I had everything from TMac. Yeah he is the #1. Satch is too much commercial and his skills way below Tony's.
The opening straight in melody of this song gives me lump in throat every time...Love MacAlpine.
Maximum security is one of the greatest albums I have ever had the pleasure of hearing!
IMHO the greatest album ever. Period.
I have the cassette
@@brianhaymans970 My album by him was evolution.
@@WaltPowellEnt Eccentrist is so damn groovy and melodic.
Tony MacAlpine , Vinnie Moore and Greg Howe my all time faves. Not only shredders!
Tony still remains my favorite of all time shredders because of his tone and his vibrato is impeccable. Love you Tony!!!
love how he did George's solo 1:57

Indeed.
Always loved Tony's sound, is tone was unmatched!!
How did you learn for first time that shredding has amazing melody.
EVerygood good guitarist : Tony Macalpine
This piece is simply a rare melodic pearl that emerged in the fabulous sea of 1980s rock music. Thanks, Tony🙏🏻🎶
One of the best guitarist i’ve ever heard.
this entire album is a must have...inspiring guitar player.. he has inspired me greatly over the years.. hope you are getting stronger everyday Tony.. God Bless
We were young....good memories....this man is a genius....
McAlpine and Vinnie Moore two of great guitarist that i appreciate. Forget the fame just play!
My two favorites players
Two of my all time favorites
Marty Friedman,Eric Johnson,Greg Howe,Tony Macalpine,Chris Oliva is a good guitarists!
I loved this album as a teenager.
One of the best guitar instrumentals ever made, thanks for sharing this.
that guitar is classic '80s. I love the diamond pattern finish. whish I could get my hands on one of those. looks like a B.C. Rich
AndyGuitar My guitar is a cheap ASM1 B.c Rich. It has that diamond finish and your comment made me feel good about it haha
Thats because it is a B.C. Rich my guy! I would love to have a B.C. Rich with a maple fret board with black diamond inlays, i don't even know if they have a fret board like that
Amazing I feel every note. Used to drive around the bay area listening to these songs and dreaming of a better future.....
I guess the real future never turns up so bright as these melodies suggest
+Dmitry Jikharev Maybe it did.
One of the Best Guitar Instrumentals EVER .... Tony has it all , songs , chops , melody , tone 💯🎸💥👍🏻🎶
YES!!!
If you like this you'd like the whole album, I have this and edge of insanity and love them both. I've been a fan of tony macalpine since the early to mid 80's
Tony is a phenomenal player. So disciplined and professional in his approach to music. Truly great talent.
It is still my favourite instrumental song.
Greetings from Hungary!
i have play this tune in the subway in stockholm several times one of the best instrumentals out there:)
🤘🎸💕
nice job :)
It is definitely masterpiece.

this is one of the most beautiful music ever created. Just astonishing
Sublime! MacAlpine tiene una elegancia para este tema que todavía me eriza la piel, una joya.
i think that tony macalpine is sensational and the is very under rated. i have been listening to him since i was young. i just love it
This guy can create unique atmosphere. He is one of the best.
Or probably the best.... decide for yourself friends!
"The" Best.
There is no such thing as the best imo
@@ScottKJolicoeur Depends on the criteria.superlative, melodic neo-classical shredding over ethereal 3D atmospheres?? This man is the BEST.

He's great for sure
Excellent! Tony's live shows are killer.

What a solo man... Love the way he played..
What A pure talented guitarist and keyboardist
ufffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff dios mio ,,, eso es caricias para el oido !!!!
So melodic.I love this song and Tony.

Amazing!! Mr. MacAlpine, one of the best!
This is such a master piece!!
First saw and heard Tony Macalpine was on a G3 DVD playing keyboards and guitar with Steve Vai. Took forever to look up his solo stuff, he’s great.
Fabulous guitar player MacAlpine
This Dimarzio shirt is the key, guys!!! And you need a ADA MP 1 to get this perfect phrasing and sound :-D
So tasteful and melodic, have not heard this for 30 years. A wonderful guitar and keyboardplayer .He was an extrodinary sidekick with Stevie Vai during his peak.

back when you played live for a music video!
awesome
Not playing live in this, miming along with the album track. The cassette version with tape hiss and all, but still awesome. ;)
He's not miming - he's laying down a live track over the album version
@@oldskoolairbrush1 You're surely mistaking. The lead is Live (anyone Should be able to hear that) .... and very different from the recorded version.
Not really on every video. Some would choose playback and some other would choose do it live.
What a guy. Such an underrated gem.
Always my track ❤ fine wine...grows better wit age❤
Deen Castronovo played drums in several masterpieces. It's amazing.
His playing on Dragon's Kiss album is revolutionary. Set the bar for prof/shred metal for a decade
Give this man the Noble Peace Prize...his playing is so noble
All time favourite guitarist!greetings from KK Sabah,Malaysia🇲🇾🤘🏼👊🇲🇾🤘🏼🤘🏼
Elder people at the '80s disliked the appearance of all these Musicians ...but They and their Music will live FOREVER!!! They will always be TITAN GODS!!!
Amazing musician.
The whole Album has the worth of Gold to me! One Track more inspiring than the Other! The BC Riches back then kicked so through! 👌🏻
Each time there is a guitarist playing on youtube, he must be the best player....
Love this.
Tony is such a great guitarist. One of my inspirations to get better
Classic Tony
This album is on the car and I rock it quite often
I love Tony’s music
