Its easy to criticize, but not many people can even begin composing music at this level. In my opinion, this man's music will always be a gem among people who love this type of music.

[@loucaballero2762]

Bud, I agree. Yeah, Metal. But so melodic. No offense to anyone else. Tony is as good as anyone in the upper echelon of Progressive Rock guitarists. Right now, my favorite. Absolute virtuoso. Every hear him play classical piano?! Amazing.

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

[@trevorbender2307]

Spoken like scripture my friend!! I bought Maximum Security when I was in the 10th (1988) grade!!! Hes genius and always lived his music!!🤘🖤🤘

[@wagnerfelix7751]

Aquiles playing along Tony. Great drummer and one of the best guitarist of all times. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.

[@trevorbender2307]

Always has been so underrated...Just sad!! Tony is a maestro!!🤘😎

[@dmpexr]

This is my favourite track from "Concrete Gardens". It is an endless pleasure! Guitars are travelling you away. Drumming is so massive. By the way I like this "dirty" sound of the bass. Tony is moving the music genre forward!

[@DomainObject]

Agreed. This track is amazing.

[@felixmartinmusic]

Tony is too good!

[@asmodic]

+Felix Martin man you and tony mcalpine would be a match made in fiery satanic heaven :D you should deffo make it happen :D

[@vargohoat9950]

one of the best things i ever heard was vai and macalpine together, its as if its not even from this world

[@Lui_Guitar]

Mr Tony MacAlpine is a perfect resume that i called Master of tones. Great sound, perfect band and awesome music and composition. Cheers.

[@sologuitardeath]

A master. A legend.

[@v12kid]

The king doing work. Love it

[@lifeisbeautiful3898]

Damn. Amazing is an understatement. Beautiful music Tony Macalpine.

[@wendelllanders8439]

Amazing!!I saw him with Planet X in Austin Tx once.Met him and he is a great humble guy!!!Enjoyed talking with him.Ps,I use his former world tour tech Ross Jennings!!That's why I met him Cool huh!!

[@TheLastRancher]

YOU GUYS ARE KILLIN IT! glad you are doing better Tony! LOVE YOU DUDE!!! Your solos on the Planet X albums have seriously brought tears to my soul man. Tears of "WHOA!" and this solo was beautiful

[@TheBuddhistCowboy]

Haunting, epic, and gorgeous.

[@lisaz265]

Can’t stop watching this incredible video! Love exotic yet fierce vibe. Tony is at the top

[@RolanTHUNDER]

Fantastic playing!

[@patriciobaeza6675]

Tony is a beast!

[@LtxVirgo]

that is an absolutely volcanic bass tone. I love it.

[@michaelalexandrini5734]

Wow, just wow. Perfect!

[@michaelalexandrini5734]

Epic playing! Great band!

[@ticker1ch]

Outstanding people. That one really hit hard.

[@theonemodifier]

can't believe i've never heard of Tony, i've been playing 44 years and the same age

[@enzominami2244]

Tony Macalpine the maestro

[@stoyanrashev1653]

Aquiles Priester is awesome drummer as well

[@markstoneman1585]

magnificent music maestro

[@odellsilva345]

How come i only discovered this guy just recently 😩 i wish i knew him before

[@PeteHawthorne]

Fuck! Tony is absolutely flawless!

[@justinbeamon6624]

Wow his technique is just the best there is. The space between his fingers and the fretboard is so small, he's eliminated all unnecessary vertical movement. It's impeccable.

[@TheShoebox1111]

You know who is was the master and no space?? Dr. Glen Tipton! The man barely lifts his fingers

[@davidchang760]

wow the octopus aquiles priester now plays with Tony. that's awesome !!!

[@loucaballero2762]

Holy cow! Love this stuff. Hope you're better Tony!

[@moreirajesse]

Great band! awesome perfomance! Aquiles Priester ia a great drum player (and all band)!

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

FUCKEN AWESOME !!!!!!!! when I listened to the cd I thought you were using the higher strings but watching you're hitting the harmonics

[@Rhamsody]

god it's about time! i thought emg had forgotten the rest of this album. can't wait to see Epic and Exhibitionist Blvd.

[@macalpinetony]

Rhamsody Phage Unfortunately we didn't film Epic. It was written after the rest of the album was recorded, and after the shoot at EMG.

[@Rhamsody]

Tony MacAlpine *oh snap, TMac responded to my post!* Sigh. that's a pity. That song has a great hook. Well, just the same, I look forward to seeing the rest of the videos!

[@apolloctg]

Rocking Bass work

[@godfreek420]

awesome go to see Tony in Jacksonville florida last year. also this drummer is the one who tried out for Dream Theater in an awesome audition video series of theirs. he was amazing.

[@AlfaGeek92]

Godfreek 71 Aquiles Priester is the drummer....Made In Brazil 🇧🇷

[@davidcamilli170]

Awesome player!

[@summit_sayem]

That just touched my heart :').. thanks a lot!

[@AweeRB26]

Supergroup!great performance..greetings from KK Sabah🇲🇾🤘🏼👊🤘🏼

[@misko1961]

Absolutely Awesome

[@ThomasFarrow]

That was awesome!!! ....and inspiring!!....Did Tony MacAlpine do a sweep without using a guitar pick? ..whoa....!!!!

[@gasolinechlorine]

Thomas Farrow If you look close, you can see him switching the pick to his middle finger for the sweep, so he can tap with his index. Then he switches back afterwards.

[@ThomasFarrow]

You are right,..I did see that the second time viewing this video.

[@denizen3426]

gasolinechlorine He does sweep without picking a lot though in his playing. He has a video where he explains it, and actually recommends that technique.

[@greekfreak1980]

Thomas Farrow Check out Richie Kotzen,he sweeps and does crazy legato runs without a pick.

[@ThomasFarrow]

I will check out Kotzen, thank you....I saw this crazy cool sweep thing in a Kieth Merrow video, called "the pitfall sweep' ...it seems simple to do, .. it's supposed to sound like the nintendo game 'Pitfall'....like 8bit sound effects.

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Incredible!

[@carapungo]

this is the best song from this album.

[@carapungo]

also, the drummer, Aquiles really shines.

[@jaime7372]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@dr.j5642]

Ok ok Tony Macalpine I see you. You can nitpick style and personal preference, but this is undeniably creative and solid sounding all around

[@Bangulo]

Wish Nili Brosh was able to get a solo in! she can kill it as well, we all know tony is a bad ass already lol

[@DomainObject]

Watch the other songs for more Nili. This one is a “Tony’s time to take centre stage affair”. What a performance!

[@MaynardGKrebs-gv4vy]

@@DomainObject I think maybe Tony is Jimi Hendrix' little brother who changed his name so he wasn't pigeonholed.

[@vargohoat9950]

holy shit that was so good

[@stevebrahy]

I was hoping Tony would add this to his set list

[@mauriciocorreia6001]

All of them Great!!!

[@gktde9874]

Insane double bass drum endurance!

[@felipeornelas3978]

Aquiles Priester the best!

[@albertobarbosa8283]

Amadurecimento total de Aquiles. Ta no seu ápice de musicalidade.

[@diegovillanueva6351]

impresionanteeeeee

[@juwkyz]

Olha a técnica desse cara!!! Mais animal do que no álbum

[@pranavdhokre8980]

Dem guitars!

[@444Nick]

мне одному показался этот альбом депрессивным ? Тони, видимо из-за обязательств перед продюсерами, состряпал на скорую руку кучку композиций из непонятных гамм и арпеджио. Но он все-таки показал свою настоящую душу в последней композиции, правда на фортепьяно. Тони, желаю тебе поскорее выздороветь ! мы тебя слушаем с 1995 года, со студенчества

[@jesuzleonardo]

I agree dude!

[@ShuKatashSam]

A different path but not less impressive than Joe Satch..........interestingly they both converge on some things, both have really grown over the decades. Tony's band mates always get super tasty riffs to play along with him.

[@AppleBag1000]

nice jam !!

[@rdganselmo777]

Nice hard, really good!

[@TheShoebox1111]

And we talk about Niki’s CHOP on rhythm! Killin it

[@TheShoebox1111]

Nili

[@JeffersonFigueirinha]

Show !!

[@maxreis9534]

I like the rhytm guitar lines.

[@rafaelfernandes5507]

Top muito 👍

[@Raphao36]

Holy shit

[@luanwmatos1]

Concrete Gardens, to me, is the prime of Tony's albums. It's better than Maximum Security.

[@ВячеславГудзь-ю6ъ]

drummer the best

[@loveshy007]

Greetings from Dr Keys

[@ayusharipirala3121]

What EMGs does Aquiles use?😂

[@ljcaballero3428]

!!!

[@travishall3500]

what album is this Juggernaut off of!?

[@DomainObject]

Concrete Gardens. Masterpiece.

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

Everything sounds fine but i'm just not digging that bass tone :/ opinions opinions opinions

[@mark7166]

***** Yeah, it's pretty clicky, with no real substance to it.

[@brano92]

I think they were going for that though. It's kinda blocky and sounds really solid

[@aebs2011]

Brandon Williams I agree it does cut thorough in the mix at times but maybe he should have if refined it more but it truly is a kick ass tone and I think it's sits well

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

aran boakye-smith i think they were going for that beefy crispy metal tone but they messed it up

[@ZombiePenguinStudios]

Brandon Williams i think they were going for that beefy crispy metal tone but they messed it up

[@Girostix]

Not a big fan of this style, tho you can't deny they are good musicians and they quite enjoy what they are playing which is cool to see!

[@namsei]

Fodido!

[@Scarshockable]

It sounds very cool, a lot of awesome technique ... but sorry, for me, it's fucking boring.

[@RealDiaz]

Les Fleurs Du Mal its boring because youre an idiot

[@chrisCANguitar]

Turn the bass down or switch basses. Turn the rhythm guitar player up.

[@JadeIsBunny]

Wat. The bass is awesome. Takes me back to the times when Jo Bench was playing on those floppy spaghetti strings. Also, Nili has too little presence in this. The rhythm is boring, the soloing has nothing going for it really. Give Nili something to do, and keep the bass up please. Love ♥

[@JadeIsBunny]

***** Because some insipid troglodyte on the internet with terrible orthography once told me to stay strong and live on?

[@RealDiaz]

Fantastic!! Well in that case as you were Machi...Machi

[@JadeIsBunny]

Al humphits Rude.

[@garethhowes6193]

The bass sounds a bit too percussive imo.

[@apolloctg]

Awesome bass work ..

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

Gareth Howes pick

[@RafhaelMarsigli]

The worst bass tone of the year

[@apolloctg]

awesome bass shredding though

[@Capitan_Chaos]

Bass sounds awful

[@apolloctg]

bassist shredding awesome ....fast and tough

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

CaptainChaos88 pick

[@StahlmetallerM]

I dont get it. He's realy fast and precise, and the solos are dripping with advanced techniques but the riffs are just boring and the all-in-all experince is just meeeh.

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

StahlmetallerM zzzzzzzzzzzz

[@ManosKaraman]

I was digging all the other ones they did but this one is kinda boring to me...

[@zakariahlafreniere1332]

Trashola. Tired. Flat. Noise.

Jesus the Christ!!!!!
