Played this one live back in 1989 a few times, it has aged well!

[@faben70]

We should recognize the impressive work of Steve Smith on drums on the whole album: he's been great at following all the evolutions of Tony's pieces.

[@sergioleite3072]

Wonderful.

[@PaulPaid]

The first cover I've ever seen where the player didn't run from the tapping and tremelo picking at the end. Heck..even Tony doesn't do it live🤣. Well done.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

That part is really cool, had to try! Thanks Paul 👍👍👍

[@PaulPaid]

@@Ale-Desafinados Had to watch again . Par EXCELLENCE man...You even Nailed the fade outro.🙌

[@cla_san4070]

the outro tapping is .....no words

[@pablocuello4184]

super emotional, yes sir

[@nyahhbinghi]

fantastic solo

[@shredfactor7]

I tell this story often but one day back in 2004 I visited my local record store and outback there was a box of cassettes selling for 50 cents each. That day I found 4 Gems. Metal Fatigue - Allan Holdsworth. Edge of Insanity- TMac. M.A.R.S - Project driver and Macalpine - eyes of the world. I couldn’t believe what I found. I am so glad as at the time I was really getting into the shrapnel stuff. Macalpines neoclassical stuff stands out from alot of others. Classic album and amazing job on the cover. Cheers 🇨🇦

Mac Alpine is truly a master...his music is speachless...i´ve always admire him. To bad he didn´t became the famous he might wanted to be...totally underrated...excelent musician though, only levels with other master guitarrists such as Vai or Satch, etc.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Totally agree! Thanks for the comment

[@PaulPaid]

So spell his name right.

[@NoirHammer]

Great job on this cover. The intro to this song sounds like it belongs in a giallo film. My favorite album by Tony and really underrated.

[@iliasknl6075]

great work my friend..... i love your songs 2...a lot of fantasy on them and great playing keep on with this tallent of yours my friend .....

[@puffybuns2311]

Just watch 1995 live version of this song in MIT. Tony is just impeccable and the emotions he puts into this one is amazing.

[@josephdow9205]

One of my favorites. Thanks and great job!

[@GunnerSG]

One of my favorites from him period - this album was my euro vacation soundtrack when I graduated from high school and I still can see the French country side in my mind's eye when I listen to it ❤❤ Discovered him in a music shop in Cologne Germany and bought a blank tape there so I could record it at my friend's house back in Dusseldorf so I could listen to it ion my Walkman wherever we went in that month of me being there, magical to say the least !!! Great job Desifinados !!!

[@caryverhalen]

Bravo! Great playing.... Tony's guitar skills are world class. His keyboard and piano mastery are equally good. He wrote a masterpiece here. This tune has everything a guitar player enjoys.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

I agree! Thanks for the comment!

[@xi-deadshot-ix5838]

Never heard of Tony MacAlpine before I stumbled onto this gem. That tone in the intro is mind blowing! Definitely added to my list of songs to learn🤘

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Cool to hear that. The whole album is a epic master piece!

[@jdtaramona]

Muy a tú manera resaltas el trabajo increíble y brillante del Gran Tony Macalpine

[@Ale-Desafinados]

¡Gracias de nuevo! Me alegra que te hayan gustado las versiones. ¡Saludos!

[@pablocuello4184]

este tema es una hermosura de composición, mi favorito de Tony Macalpine, y realmente tu cover es por lejos el mejor que he visto jamas, felicitaciones desde Argentina!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Muchas gracias Pablo! También es uno de mis preferidos de MacAlpine. Saludos desde España!

Fantastic job on this , covered every detail that I was listening for.

[@Jeff-i3q7t]

Excellent cover of my favorite Tony Mac composition. Well done sir!

[@DomainObject]

Masterful. Thanks for recreating a Tony classic!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thank you for watching! 👍👍👍

[@dadir_alvarez9748]

Por favor toca algo del album "Master of Paradise" de MacAlpine. ¡Sería fantastico! Saludos

[@Guillermo-Hena]

Auch!, me has vuelto a matar... por demás excelente cover de un temasazo del Neo-clásico (en mi opinión y gusto Tony y Vinnie Moore fueron y serán los dos mejores de esa corriente). Gracias por deleitarnos con semejante belleza de melodía y de ejecución... te vuelves a merecer un +11. 👍

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Gracias a ti Guillermo! Disfruto mucho aprendiendo estos temas. Los de Vinnie me cuesta bastante más porque son súper complicados.

[@faben70]

This record is a masterpiece, I feel the need to shout every time I listen to it and I also shouted listening to your cover!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Totally agree, what an amazing album! Thanks for the comment. Glad you dig the cover 👍

[@koenibaby]

Nice work. Well done.

Thanks! 👍

[@TheRetrospective]

wow! great cover. That's one of Tony's most melodic solos.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Humble thanks!

[@veraroquete4698]

Man that was insane. Besides his awsome chops Tony also has ( like Yngwie ) tremendous vibrato.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thanks Vera! Always a challenge playing this kind of songs. Damn difficult!! 👍

[@carapungo]

Wheel of Fortune and The Stranger are the best songs from The Edge Of Insanity album by far. Empire is good. Great rendition bro!

[@ciloelwe5683]

The solo part at 3.00 is damn great congrats for this really impressive cover

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thanks mate!

One of the most beautiful intros I've ever heard. Awesome playing as always!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Agree! One of the best MacAlpine songs! Thanks for the comment

[@DerekSisson]

Thank you so much for this! This song had the biggest impact on me than any other instrumental I have ever heard. What an awesome job you have done with it! Subscribed for sure!

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it. This record is a master piece from start to finish.

[@MatrixfanMacUser]

Thank you for having such good taste in music alongside your skill! I’m all set on purchasing Spark because of your work. Somehow I think it’s even better than UAD simulations and seems right up there with the best hardware.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Thans mate! Never tried UAD simulations but I'm quite happy with Mercuriall plugins. Been using Mercuriall for more than a year and it is really awesome. Remember that you can download Spark for free and test it before buying!

[@DomainObject]

Beautiful. 🌹🎸

[@evm6916]

Bestial 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@johnmcminn9455]

That was cool! 3:02 The lead break starts with a Satriani like Whammy bar trick note, but playing the actual pitch, in a Blues Phrasing Bend sounds just as good . Love it!

[@johnmcminn9455]

Edge of Insanity to me was like a DiMeola album you wished someone made That CD is epic Nice representation here. Cool camera work too

[@Rael0505]

Good

[@meropolis]

Where did you get the backing tracks from? Did you lay them down yourself? I've been trying to cover this song on keyboard since the early 90s, I would play it over a midi file I sequenced myself but that file.. well it was created during a time when floppy disks were still relevant hahaha I have the disk but the file is corrupt. Nice cover. I enjoyed it very much.

[@Ale-Desafinados]

Hi! cool to hear that story from the 90s! it was really tough at that time without todays tech. I made the BT by myself. I think there where some midi files available on the internet that I used as a "template" though. Let me know if you need anything.
