I love Tony McAlpine since the 80's. He deserves so much more acknowledgment for his career. Monster

[AweeRB]

Very nice as usual by Tony MacAlpine and his latest band. I saw him live in Atlanta, Ga at the Masquerade Sept 27, 2017. One of my favorite Rock guitarists for sure. His songwriting and sense of melody is incredible and a master at Piano and keyboards.

How cool would it be to have George Lynch come up and guest spot his solo on this!

[kgigiano]

They’re both great and long live the record button!

[bagwa]

Great to see Tony still rockin on and playing one of my faves with such emotion! Maximum Security was my introduction to Neo-Classical fusion and instrumental guitar way back in '87....I've been hooked ever since.

[JimmyMacdo]

Despite years gone by the melody still with so much emotion ....

[sanyamjain]

Wow!! Kudos to Tony for letting his band member play the marquee solo on the song! What a mensch!

[fabiencourtoistapping]

exellent !! remember in 1987 the second lp de macalpine !!

2:40 this song is still changes. love thi sversion

[larryhaze]

his sense of melody against rhythm is undeniable. i have perfect pitch. a curse and a blessing at the same time. ive enjoyed more of his music than i could have ever imagined. we are both classically trained pianist. i need to practice.

[tigerbalm]

Such and underated artist! His songs are som of the best and memorable! No disrespect, but I couldn't say that for players like Petrucci. Vinnnie Moore is amazing too, like McAlpine. They have that rear writing ability, not to mention the chops.

[mattmartian]

So I still have a bucket list to get on a new York subway at 3am and cruise it listening to Maximum Security. Its gonna happen.

La mejor version que escuchado junto a la original con George lynch

[kgigiano]

I remember back in the day I couldn’t tell who is the better guitar player Tony MacAlpine or Greg Howe, and yeah I don’t give a shit what anybody says it is a racial thing a black man that could throw down that fucking hard in the metal progressive world needs to be distinguished!

[benstrout]

Is it me, or is the video about 25 seconds ahead of the audio? This song is great, as is the off-camera bass solo early on, but this version totally sours the majesty.

[TheFissionchips]

In a just world Vai would be playing greasy bars and Tony would be GOAT of modern guitar. Planet X - with Holdsworth and Tony, there is nothing higher in prog/fusion.

[ThePetruccijunior]

Hoho! He has the angelo batio string demper! Me too

[puffybuns]

The other dude played George’s parts better than Nilli and complements Tony’s tone perfectly.
Hire him tony!

Isn't George Lynch on this original recording...
