Tony was influenced by the metal bands of the mid to late 80's and early 90's. "Guys like Yngwie, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, Greg Howe and Al DiMeola totally inspired me."
Tony plays Mesa amps and cabs and USA Jackson guitars.
"Currently I'm deep under ground in my laboratory doing super secret metal stuff."
"I recently discovered J&J tubes at Eurotubes.com. Bob and his crew are the ultimate amp & tube gurus. My Dual Rec has never sounded so good. If you're a gear fanatic like me you owe it to yourself to check out what they have to offer." ~T2T
On his former band Deafness : "Deafness started out as a bunch of friends getting together to jam for shits & giggles and ended up in the studio for four days recording twelve songs. Deafness did a lot of really cool things including a two week trip to Hollywood and gigs around the Upstate NY area opening for some nationals and other local bands. The first track off the CD got some airplay in the Midwest and on XM Satellite and as a result I got my first (and only) royalty check from BMI. You won't find any shredding guitar leads on the Deafness cd, just killer grooves."
