Yeah awesome. Right there w/Gilbert as a player, but I think overall, i like MacAlpines music better. Yes Steve Smith from JOURNEY, KILLING the drums, and the one and only Billy Sheehan on bass. Unstoppable!!! Tonys 2nd album didn't stand up to this 1st effort IMO. And Tony's a better pianist than guitar player!!! *_* TALENT.
This is a Smoking Track!. I really like how he has a theme and then progreses through and plays with different musical Ideas and styles into that theme for the track. Pure Guitar and composition prowess!
@TheFarriesmetalhead Jason Becker is pretty cool, but i prefer his partner Marty Friedman. Listen to 'Ripped' or 'Dragon Mistress' (but surealy you have alredy done it).
This is a great record ! All of Macapline's songs are well done, and the arrangements are perfect. He can shred, but he does it very tastefully. Props to him for that.
steve smith was probably the best drummer in the 70's n 80's but then again lenny white,billy cobham,neil peart and bohnam were around also and i say bohnam because had a smaller set than the other drummers i mentioned and was still able to become one of the best(my opinion). dont get me wrong smith is one of my favs but i think theres was better drummers then and even now especially in jazz/fusion. Dennis chambers anyone? please dont reply with harsh critism just trying to give my opinion
yeah that guitarist of the year shit dont mean shit, maybe what ppl think is cool at the moment but ppl like tony actually push to progress and ppl like cobain could care less about the instrument or the art.
@coffinfeeder2007 yes, that "Guitarist of the Year" is all about public appeal--how many voters have even held and tried to play aguitar?? Cobain was over-rated by a teenaged crowd that tends to go ga-ga over something because everyone else is. Nirvana and Foo Fighters are OK but they wouldn't be in my Top Faves.
he is also a jazz fusion drummer...played with victor wooten, frank gambale, scott henderson, mike stern, jean-luc ponty...and he leads the esential fusion group Vital Information...
Well, sorry for my missplaced criticism. I didn't know he's jazz-rock/fusion drummer, but his playing in this song is not so much exciting IMHO. Thx for the info ^ ^.
no you must be one of these kids who think travis barker is good. when you wake up and realize inovation is part of being a great drummer then we will talk. it doesnt matter if new drummers can play a piece that is 20 years old, being inovative and pushing the limits it what steve smith did and what he is still doing. do us all a favor and fuck off dipshit.
@PandaSucrer18 i just finished watching them and out of the two i really liked George Kollias. I enloyed watching him play the double bass and hes pretty fast.ha
@Natehawk08 Yeah Kollias is simply not human :P Richardson is very progressive some compare him to Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater but there's so much good drummers! Steve Smith isn't a bad drummer at all is good but I wouldn't put him best drummer of the year...Thanks to take your time to watch these drummers ;)
So this is where liking classical music leads me? Nice!

Yes and in a magazine Kurt Cobain was the best guitarist of the year. I'm not sayin that the drummer is bad but sometimes the awards mean nothing.
