Tony MacAlpine & Herman Li Shred Collab

[@robertschultz7612]

Tony easily the most influential under rated player of the 80s shred era …

[@chrisguiling3546]

The younger guitarists will never know that feeling that us, shall we say “experienced” players, had when putting that Tony MacAlpine cassette into the player for the first time in 1986 and just being blown away

[@MrTarlecon]

I listened to these cassettes hundred times.

[@TheEowli]

i cant believe Tony is already in his 60s, he still has the energy of a young thirsty guy, he is truly an inspiration

[@kyrkwalters5658]

Hes amazing and one of my favorite guitarists

So sorry to hear about Tony's loss. Wish him the best.

I saw Tony in 03 when he was touring w Vai on the G3 tour. I had no idea who he was but he kept challenging Vai to solo battles during songs that didn't have solo battles and they were fucking epic. At first, I thought, "there's no way this little guy can hang w Vai" and he immediately shut me up. He was insane then and is still insane, as we all see. God bless him. It's heartbreaking to hear about his wife. Stay strong, Tony. You have generations of fans Thank you, Herman, for introducing him to the new generation of shredders

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

It is a shame that Ibanez doesn't offer a signature Tony MacAlpine guitar. So much great guitar music made by this man. And his guitar spec choices would be something unique for the market. 8 String with a floating bridge etc.

[@uncleremus5046]

Not too many guitarists have Tony’s technique. Simply an incredible musician!

[@greekfreak1980]

Tony is not only a monster guitar shredder, but also a virtuoso keyboard player. Check out some videos from the "Live At the Astoria" dvd of Steve Vai, Tony used to be in his live-band back in the 90´s and they were doing some insane guitar/keyboard jams together.

[@MrTarlecon]

He also included (or includes) a piano piece in his shred albums. I enjoyed how fluently and carefully he interpreted Chopin.

[@dggone06]

See tony for the first time in 1996 on a french guitar festival with Patrick Rondat french guitar hero.follow him since.recently see again with Stu Hamm still in France

[@danriley5848]

I had the pleasure of meeting Tony many years ago and he was one of the nicest people I have ever met and such an amazing musician. 👍🤘

[@Mybutteredpopcorn]

Thank you Herman for having T-Mac on...what an awesome musician and human being.

[@cleatusandclovis1845]

Perfect synchronization between similar styles. The way they played off each other was unreal. Make an album!!!!!!

[@BoyAditya]

First time seeing Tony MacAlpin From carvin guitar advertisement on guitar world magazine. But I finally knew how awesome he was from Steve Vai live band. Man... He's crazy! 😬 Shredding on guitar & keyboard

[@dylankopff1935]

He looks and sounds so much younger ,he was always a standout thanks for doing what you do ,both are legends

[@TheHeadhunter85]

Great video! I didn't know about Begonia's passing away...such hard times for Tony. He's an incredible human beign, the best for him!!

[@MrTarlecon]

Those natural harmonics in the first jam made my jaw fall😆.

[@donwalker6779]

Thank you for this. I lost my wife just this past June and Tony’s words really resonate with me right now. I’m sorry for your loss Tony and thank you for the great inspiration and new music as it is helping through this difficult time.

I really like Tony's Solo at Jeff Loomis's The Ultimatum, very deep playing.

[@muratgokhangokce4270]

when i was at the EDGE OF INSANITY, i found this video with my PREMONITION, and i watched under the MAXIMUM SECURITY in the CONCRETE GARDENS, then i felt like MASTER OF PARADISE...

[@JS-md7gg]

My two favorite guitarist. At the same jam. i think its magic

[@matthansen758]

I love the regular dude vibes from Tony, just a humble, genuine and super talented man who never got cocky or high on his own farts, he just stayed cool. Love it when talented people stay true to themselves without getting big egos and start douching out.

[@RiffFlair]

I was lucky to see Tony right before COVID kicked in last year and might have been the most inspiring show I’ve ever been to. The man is from another planet.

[@mikewallace1270]

Tony is such a monster! I wish you would have asked him about his metronome me. He is a serious metronome guy. Or used to be anyway. Would love to have heard some about that.

[@mattmartian1658]

Tony is the man.. I have a bucket list- I want to ride on the NY subway at 3am all around the city listening to Maximum Security. One day it will happen.

[@odysr5682]

Simply monstrous shredding..salute🔥🔥

[@DomainObject]

Shred Legend! Thanks for having TMac on your show! 🔥🎸

[@stevehawthorn8733]

Tony is a God as far as I am concerned, a friend played Edge of insanity in his car on the the way to gig in London when it was released and immediately became a fan and then Maximum security came out I got a copy it absolutely blew me away like the first Van Halen record did and that was jaw dropping.

[@APK-pn4qh]

Two superb guitar players. Been a fan of Tony's since the 80s and I still listen to those older albums as much as the newer stuff. He's a major major talent. And a great guy. 👍

[@AkosKovacs.Author.Musician]

"How much coffeen did you drink, Tony?" "YES!"

[@thedanksavatron7782]

Tony's a legend! Great to see new material! If u love guitar he is a must to listen to!

[@jakeliftsnshreds6670]

Man I love that pinkish prs guitar! And Tony macalpine is amazing!

[@victororozco192]

Tony MacAlpine is the demostration of how strong a human being can be. I admire him a lot!

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

Tony is still one of my favorite today! From Edge of Insanity and beyond.

[@JJG5150]

A lot of the solos sounded like George Lynch’s…so I loved them

[@ericnaylorguitar]

pops up in my feed 3 years after it came out, but better late then never. love Tony been listening since the 80s did a private lesson with him a few years ago really nice guy & a great player 🤘

[@JbfMusicGuitar]

would legit love to hear a Tony MacAlpine guest solo on a Dragonforce album

[@impetusfanzine5859]

phenomenal guitarist! he is also an equally accomplished pianist and keyboardist, so he definitely knows his music theory!

[@FRANANGELICOONA]

holy shit: look at his eyes. I don't remember him looking like that on the G3 DVD.

[@danielstevens9516]

So sorry Tony. I didn't know. love you brother!

[@cycoaxe]

Love Tony one of the greatest guitar players!

[@J24777]

Definitely have Tony on again!!

[@MrTarlecon]

Guys, some time ago I saw the picture of you both with Allan Holdsworth. Did you ever jammed with him?

[@daviddiaz6359]

7:13 for youtubers, that was a truly reaction to tony! 😁, thanks for this epic music time!

[@2good2betrue3]

I just love when 2 of my favorite shredders jam, interview each other and have fun.😊 It's really cool to watch this guys play and enjoy. It inspire me to play the guitar more, Tony in his 60's can still shred with the best. Thanks Herman for bringing the all the best guitar players in your channel for interviews and jam.🤘 I've seen all the great guitarists here: Tony MacAlpine, Bumblefoot, Paul Gilbert, Andy Timmons, Andy James, George Lynch, MAB, Tosin, Tim Henson, JRich, Gus G, Skolnick, Kiko Loureiro, Stevie T, Jared D, Tyler, The Dooo, Lucas Mann, etc. I hope you can also invite the one and the only shred king, the elusive unleash the fooking Fury, the maestro: Yngwie J. Malmsteen.😊 Please add him to your collection.😅 Cheers!

[@nunyabizz6895]

Yngwie is too much into himself for this…leave him in Tampa FL with his arpeggios from hell🤣

[@2good2betrue3]

@@nunyabizz6895 Hahaha, nice! arpeggios from Tampa hell!🤣 but seriously no matter what people say, I just love the man. He's actually kind and cool in person, plus he's the only shredder with the "vintage feel" which none of his peers or other technical monsters today can replicate. It's like a $500,000 vintage Fender or Gibson..rare and unique. Cheers mate!🤘

Have been in love with Tony since I saw an old video in 2009.. That video.. Tony McAlpine's young version. The title of the video is.. "tears of sahara - tony mcalpine" And since then I know that Tony's name was very big in the 80s era. I admire him since then..

[@shiningphantasy1393]

Herman's expression when Tony starts playing is pretty much parallel to what my face probably looks like when I am listening to MacAlpine solos with my best pair of headphones. Have all of his instrumentals plus VK3; not a dud in the bunch; hardly even a filler track among them all.

Thanks

So nice to see Tony doing some progressive playing for a change. When a neighbor of mine gave me a bootleg cassette of him in the 80s I became a fan for life. You see Metallica, bootlegs can become sales later.
