This has to be the best sounding version of this song in my opinion. One of my favorite Tony MacAlpine songs. The whole Maximum security album is a Gold medal album.
Brutal...just brutal.
i like so much maximun security !! the best of tony !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BEST NEO CLASSIQUE ALBUM OF ALL TIME IS MAXIMUN SECURITY FOR ME
Sorry, it doesn’t even come close to its original version. Also on the original George part was way much better than this one. Nillie (I think that’s her name) is good but she’s no George.
@@Actaruz drum part here is significantly better
Tony MacAlpine % 100 musician, underrated player... This is a song from heaven!
Soothing
Nilly Rocks
Save some cheek for everyone
And he is the best teacher I’ve ever seen
MacAlpine, Steve Lukather from Toto and Roy Buchanan are my top 3 underrated guitar players
Just two things to say, Tony & Nili!! So awesome!!!
Amazing! Aquiles Incredible as ever! And Nili so talented!
Aquiles is a beast!
Nobody could play that part like George Lynch but Nili does a fantastic job in her own style, sounds wonderful
Totally agree. Nobody phrases quite like George Lynch, but she does a great job with it.
What a feelin’ in this Tony MacAlpine song, such precision, it’s outrageous! He’s one of the most underrated guitarists of all time. His technique and feelin’ are one-of-a-kind!
Nili is a definite contender for best female rock guitarist in the world . Goosebumps watching and listening to this ! Drums amazing too.
Vinnie Moore and Tony Mac Alpine,two of my favourite and tastiest of shredders.
Me too
I don't have idea of who you are. But THANK YOU SO FUCKING (1000x) for say Vinnie Moore at your comment. I didn't knew him until I read your comment. I'm so happy for discover him. It's amazing. Thank angel from another world,dimension,galaxy, wherever you came from.
Lol the current song in my winamp is In Control by Vinnie Moore.
Tony has some awesome keyboard solos on lots of Vinnie's songs.
Vinnie Moore can be the most unique guitar player ever lived. He can play blues, rock, metal, shred, sweeps even flamenco. Paul Gilbert and Vinnie Moore are my guitar heros.
Awesome performance by ALL! Aquiles Priester…..one of my favorite drummers! I gave him a ride to his hotel before a gig years ago when he was on tour with MacAlpine, and he was so cool to invite me in for soundcheck, then gave me a pair of his signature drumsticks. Tony was very nice too and signed items for me too. Great times!
I still have a Tony Macalpine model autographed BC Rich guitar from way back, love this version and watch it all the time. Anyhow my brother won the guitar at a raffle after Tony played this clinic along to his CD tracks. I enjoy watching him play keys and classical stuff just as much as guitar - what a master!!
Back in 88 I played the shit outta this album.(Maximum Security). This one of the best on the album. All are just so Melodic!! On the album George Lynch plays the part Nils is...Killer collaboration
Yes indeed. Every thing you just said. I loved that album. There’s a couple on there, like this one, that just timeless.
Same here!! wore a complete hole in the vinyl...this is top shelf playing.
Same! Still have the damn cassette tape too lol
Been listening to Tony Macalpine for 30 years and he was a beast back then. Congrats to Nili for being a part of this. Great tune. Every instrument compliments the next.
I hosted Tony back in the day at my music store for a guitar clinic. At the time, Tony was endorsing Hughes & Kettner amps. Never met a nicer guy and he had such a great sense of humor! Monster player! 👍
Devin thats awesome. Legend.
I agree 💯 I first met Tony when he was endorsing Washburn guitars it was an honor to meet him and get some great tips from a master .
Springfield Represent!
Micalpin got his frist start with stev via hes a great gaturist
This song never fails to come this close to bringing a tear to my eye. She played George's solos so wonderfully in her own way that I'm sure George would give the thumbs up like I do!! And Tony added extra flourishes that pushed his solo just that extra bit without being totally different and yeah. Just beautiful!! Damn I love this song!
Nili Brosh is killing it!
He's a melody master! Not word,can define this genius!
Four absolutely great musicians. It doesn't get much better than these four. Rock talent today is nowhere close to this level.
after 30 years, still my favorite instrumental song
Same! My favorite instrumental _guitar_ song. Still WAY up there with IMHO the great classical composers. I have a couple of Rachmaninoff / Prokofiev pieces that move me in more directions and that are perfection, but in the electric guitar realm, this is my absolute pinnacle. This never ever gets old, guys!
Killer Band!!! Tony n Nili shreds, Pete dropping the bass, and Aquiles just rips those drums.
Apart from the music being great and bring me many memories, and also the fact that Tony is in another league, everyone in this band had improvements in their careers after being in contact with Tony. He makes sure that everyone around him is known for their merit. This is Tony. He doesn't want to be alone above all of us. Great human being! And that's why he will win all the adversities in his life.
Wish I knew him in person. All my old friends are drunks and druggies :-(
Aquiles Priester on drums !!! My favorite T Mac Alpine song.
Aquiles sounds awesome here!!! Better than in Angra!!! Really loved it. It was a great surprise to me!!!!
He kind of reminds me of Vinny moore
@@loudenvier sorry , but Aquiles is the best in Angra ,and Angra far away better than this band
@@edicius7009 no need to be sorry, that's a matter of opinion. As a long long long time fan of Angra, attending their many shows here in Brazil I don't even like their sound anymore... For me they lost relevance nowadays. I just listen to theirs old albums...
@@loudenvier lost Kiko lost aquiles lost relevance , nowadays I prefer Edu band more than new Angra
This is one the songs that just take the wind out of you. Very melodic, technical and just damn awesome. Nili Brosh is amazing! She can totally keep up with Tony! Best pair on stage!
IMPRESSIONANT!!!
When both guitarist are looking at their hands you know it's about to go down... Thank you for your art Tony, the world doesn't deserve you.
Tony , i ❤ you !!!
One of my favorite Tracks on Maximum Security such a awesome Guitarist and Keyboardist as well as a very nice person to chat with.
I watched this video too late. A night of nostalgia brought me here. After some videos of Tony, I decided to watch this video. I will say this: Tony is still the best... And let's don't forget Nili. When I watched the first few seconds without reading the description, I thought at that moment, it could be Nili Brosh, the guitarist wearing the skirt. And Bingo. Two great players at the same stage... And Nili, keep going solo and take your place in the hall of fame of the greatest guitar players...
This definitely deserves more views. Tony is a legend and the band members here did a phenomenal job. All of them. Rebirth of a classic from my childhood
I’m so glad Tony is doing well!❤
Nili Brosh, baby - BOOM. This clip has so much awesomeness going on, I can't even.
Love that video !
@2:33 Those points in life when you cant express how beautiful life can be. What an amazing collection of notes beautifully played.
😂😂😂😂😂
such a beautiful tune.
Great to see a classic 80's shred tune brought back to life, Maximum Security is full of soaring licks and emotional melodies.
so coooool...to my heart
i like Tony Macalpine since 1989...the notes he played so make me fly to another world...the beautyness.
Full album i like it
Esta canción la escuchaba con mi padre hace muchos años y me recuerda a él, que aunque era de otra época la disfrutaba mucho, la buena música no tiene tiempo, como esta rola de Tony.
omg who is that woman!! she shreds!!!
nili brosh 🤗
Nothing short of amazing how tony and nili harmonize
Wow! Tony Macalpine is the man! He keeps doing music with feeling! He´s one of the few shred guitarrist loyal to that feeling!
Repect!
A monumental display of Metal meets classical music! The best!
Masterpiece of music, not only a guitar masterpiece.
It's cool that each musician plays their own solo during the song.
Absolutely amazing emotive piece from a legend of metal instrumental guitar. His first album Edge Of Insanity is still a masterpiece💪🤘👊
SO TASTEFULLY DONE!
Never tired to listen this song every day.. Tony the gifted musician ..cheers
Great duo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
EMGtv really captures it's featured artists sound. Impressive sound
Tony Maestro!!! This version is freaking mesmerizing!!!!!
My all time favorite guitar player since 1986. I now play Bass and this man is nothing less than 100% total inspiration to me still. Be well Tony!
Tony i love your music! God bless you
What a beautiful song... Tony is great!
Awesome live version!
Great song Loved it for years. Aquiles Priester talento latino papá!
Wish I was there...
From youth to man....
ua-cam.com/video/aMvqc25AQik/v-deo.html&start_radio=1&rv=OBgaksTijkQ
this is the song that you hear either during or after doing something momentous like conquering the world or beating a really hard boss fight.
As a gamer i'm the last fits me most
Or on the last 200 feet to summit Mount Rainier!
wish i could like this one every time i came back thanks EMGtv and hail to Tony and Nili 🖖🖖🖖🖖
The cancer diagnoses for him and his wife is so unfortunate and sad. I hope they can both fully recover. Bad things always seem to happen to the best people.
+KyleJPie10 I think the cancer is like an award for the ones who do some good in this world, cause everyone I know who is great had cancer. \m/ (and survived!)
Agreed...long may you prosper and be well:)
How do you figure he is the "best people"?
Just hear that master piece, anyone who is able to compose and interpretate something like that is doing a big change in this world, music is magic. :)
I think he was talking about McAlpine's playing/music. But way to go with the total dickwad douchebag fucktard comment.
i came here to check Tony out....man, i was impressed from the girl ;)
Tony MacAlpine..80s shred-rock living legend..veteran shred-rock icon.and,ALWAYS awesome!
The drummer was able to fit in almost all the fills he wanted....in case you missed it. Love this track. Great melodies.
One of the best guitar player in the WORLD!
OMG! Just perfect! The girl playing along with him... Awesome!
That bass tone is killer!
Tony's sense of melody will always be so close my heart
Soundscapes. Amazing melodies. God-given talent. Hope he's doing well!!!!!
One of the best songs from Tony, amazing!!
This is still one of the most beautiful guitar instrumental tracks I've ever heard. I really hope Tony and his wife are OK, and thank you for such beautiful music.
What hapenned with him?
a legendary melody
Damn so much talent on that stage. Incredible!!!
Wow Awesome song till today.........
Love the harmonies. Imagine having to be his rhythm player
This song has always been a favorite of mine from any genre. Mr. MacAlpine wrote a beautiful song that will last forever.
Beautiful. I do enjoy the album original with George Lynch.
Praying for both you and your wife.
So glad they made it through that!
From an era of many great guitar instrumentals, this is still one of the best IMO.
I used to jam this tune a LOT back in the day. I think I have to find that box and pull out some CD's. Looks like it's Tony time in the car for a while. Probably some other killer shit in that box as well. I may have the entire 80's Shrapnel catalog in there. Awesome job on this, the band was superb.
Don't forget the Greg Howe!
TheBrizz71 Hell No!! Anyone for The Pepper Shake??
+Robert Frias Tony was always in the cassette player when cuizing central ave and going to the Midnight Drags! God I miss the 80's!
Got to meet him and shake his hand back in the 80's at a guitar clinic in Memphis, TN. Everybody was just in a trance watching this guy shred. Also go him to autograph my Edge of Insanity album. Asked him for a pick. He handed me the one he'd just shredded with and then said "oh, wait. Can't give you that one". Handed me another. Not sure what that was about. Didn't think to take a camera. Didn't think I'd actually get to meet him.
2019 and here I am still engrossed by the lovely melodic guitar works from the band !
Almost everyday I listen this song.
Beautiful! Love the perfect unison work and nice pickup tone too!
undoubtedly the best instrumental ever recorded... absolutely beautiful and breathtaking...❤T-Mac
Awesome bass work.
Indeed!
Keep strong Tony, we need your music!
Amazing song!! Great melody and Tony's tone is full and beautiful. Very tasteful playing, and not chops for chops' sake. 🎸🎼🎶💙
Saw the Amazing Tony MacAlpine and his awesome band last night at a small venue in Fayetteville, NC... absolutely unbelievable precision, unreal and such fluid shredding... truly a nice person, meet and greet, guitar signing, Such an honor to have finally met one of the all time greatest Guitar Gods!
Amazing! Tony's great as usual but Nili is his perfect guitar partner and she is also building a brilliant solo career.
FANTASTIC,ALL OF THEM PLAYED GREAT.
Talk about purrrrrfect sound and tight chops: y'all have'em both. Great Rock song. Keep up the great work you are doing. Fantastic mix and master.
This is awesome. You were always a phenomenal guitarist from the 80's. And you sound even better now.
That is still an awesome song, 27+ years on. Tony and the whole band really did it justice. Close to the original but with enough modern touches to keep it current. Well done.
I keep coming back! This tune is so melodic and singable I bet many folks can sing all those solos just pure classics
Тони!!!!Мастер гармоний!!!!Браво
Moc krásná a perfektně zahraná -procítěná muzika.......klobouk dolůůůů......K:L:H:......O:K:...a díky....
Wow marvellous performance !!! Thanks Tony and great band !!!!
I'm happy to listen this song again.
Tony I love your playing and compositions.So sad to hear about u being sick with cancer.Please get well soon.This is frm all your fans in Aizawl-Mizoram(India)
terina fanai cancer is the fruits of eating white man diet: WHITE sugar; WHITE salt; WHITE flour.
Chi dawnmi
Very sorry to hear about the cancer good luck I hope you beat it it is a terrible thing for anybody to have to go through
He won't read it so what's the point?
Take me back to the 80s.......
Love tony, miss him loads being about, such a talent. Great drummer too.
John Inglis That drummer is a monster!!!
The composition of the song is beautiful. Thumbs up to the babe on guitar as well.. Tony is brilliant as always.
As a guy with no love for hard rock (even when melodic, neo-classical, highly skilful, etc.), I find the off-scale note Nili briefly emphasizes at 2:17 to be quite exquisite.
Long life to Macalpine. I love this song.
At 0:36 I love the way Tony looks at Nili and says with no words: "Hey let's make some energy here" :)
Awesome...
