Iwent to see Steve Vai just for the opportunity to see Tony play ive been a fan for a long time way back to project driver and Tonys maximum security where this track comes from is a guitar players guitar players cd it contains other artists like George Lynch from Dokken and Jeff Watson from night ranger if you like this little snippet of tony buy that cd!
@kingdiamond69 I thought I was the only one who did the exactly the same thing. Not to diminish Vai or something, thats out of question. But dude, I needed to see Ol'Mac. I guess I was one of the 2 or 3 guys in the crowd who knew Tony. Funny fact: I look like him.
@Ihatemyusernamemore he plays together with Vinnie in Mind's Eye(1986) and the Maze (1999) albums, Tmac plays the Keyboards too, is a very talented musician
Tony is a classically trained pianist. I read in one of his interviews where he applies the techniqe he learn from playing piano to the guitar. He keeps his fingers as close to the fretboard as possible to eliminate what he considers wasted movement.
@OnedetachedonE Haha and I thought I was a fanboy. How can you even say that Vai didnt carve new musical ground, without boundary, I mean god the guy played with Zappa. Tony Mac is incredible but he hasn't had the impact Vai has...look at all those spoiled kids with their Jems.
On a different note I love this song, one of Tony's best. I love watching this guy play, going from guitar to keyboards and back.
@francescometalhead1 well in his 'peak years' he did, its just some people are still famous e.g. steve vai and joe satriani, but if you think about it they keep there style but also keep in the years. Or in other words there still cool and there music they keep bringing is in the right age. AMEN!
@francescometalhead1 Why do you think? Racial prejudice is still very strong in this world, unfortunately, the human being who is said still behind in their DNA that heritage damn!
I like to imagine him as a bum that walked in when the band was late, and was all like, "I got this." then just started shredding like a god.

Dude this song has some of the most epic guitar riffs of all time. This guy doesn't get the attention he deserves.
Poltergeist232 2 years ago 3
This guy is truly one of the great, talented unknowns.
He does naturally what Steve Vai has always wanted to do (and never really achieved) which is to carve new musical ground, to play without boundary.
He is truly talented. Incredible.

how in hell anyone can say that steve vai doesnt "carve musical ground" or "play without boundary" is beyond me. do you even know who steve vai is?
