New Tony MacAlpine tracks!!!

[progmetaldan]

He posted this link to his facebook, 2 tracks from his new album...

Hear the first 2 songs from Tony's new solo instrumental album!

I don't listen to heaps of instrumental shred albums these days, but this is pretty cool I think.

I've always loved T-Mac, and the new 8 string Ibanez is sounding nice!

A friend of mine introduced me to Malmsteen and Tony on the same day - my brain was totally fried and I've never stopped liking either of them

This is certainly a heavier Tony, but he retains that highly inventive and musical edge that's always been a trademark. Progressive, groovy, well produced.......with some killer solos.

Looking forward to the whole album!

 

[brutalwizard]

yes!!!!! i just got so pumped.

i remember hearing tony in 9th grade, his madness album along with paul gilberts get out of my yard changed the way i look at guitar

 

[ShadyDavey]

Madness? Good Lord, that's a while back.

This is even further away from the present and one of those tracks which still blows my mind in many ways:

 

[CrossingTheEventHorizon]

Always love this guy. I want a new Planet X album!

 

[Lon]

so he ditched seven the hard way? because that was most likely the most atrocious stuff ive ever heard from an artist of tonys skill and format (honestly i only listened to the single but this was enough)

 

[Sollesnes]

I've been waiting for this ever since I saw pictures of him with an 8 string. I love this! His melodic way of playing mixed with these heavy riffs. Love it!

 

[Christian Muenzner]

Ah, sounds great! One of my favorite players and biggest influences ever. Glad to see his back with some solo stuff! And the more modern elements fit very well with his style! I'll defineately be picking this up!

 

[MatthewK]

Cool! Tony was the first "shredder" I ever heard, I happened across his Star Licks instructional video when I was just starting guitar. Kind of funny, because that ended up being exactly the kind of playing that interests me.

Anyway, this stuff sounds great! Especially after listening to that Seven The Hardway crap. My God that was terrible.

 

[XxXPete]

Like Christian said..one of my MAIN influences..and he's BACK w Intense melodies with progressive overtones..I love it.And hes RIPPING!!

 

[nojyeloot]

THANK YOU.

 

[chevymeister]

Premonition was his best album IMO. A whole playthrough and you don't know what to do with yourself anymore.

 

[Joeywilson]

aweee yeaahh

 

[ApteraBassist]

i've still never seen anything more amzing than the solo beginning at 1:15

 

[ApteraBassist]

aweee yeaahh

oy... not even that amzzing solo could save that song...

 

[Randy]

aweee yeaahh

No.

 

[rippedflesh89]

im loving the 8 string use... now ibanez needs to make a lo-pro edge 8 and start stocking them on the RG2228s

 

[kmanick]

I've been a huge Tony Mac fan for quite a while now.
I'm glad to see him putting out some new material that sounds this good!

 

[Xiphos68]

I can't wait for this album!

Really good production and everything!

 

[SnowfaLL]

ahh missing 2 days of internet sucks. Missed these! I usually see everything Tony does on facebook, he actually updates it quite frequently! At least twice a day. Everyone add him up =]
