Before Tony ever picked up a guitar he was studying to be a classical violin player as well as pianist. He has played piano on all of his solo albums and some other musicians as well. One of Tony's biggest musical influences is Frederic Chopin, a pianist and music composer. Tony has given tribute to Chopin in some of his solo work. The only album that Tony has not paid tribute to Chopin is his 1990 "Eyes of the World". But besides that one album, Tony has had at least one Piano/keyboard instrumental on every solo album up until 2001.
Tony played a big role in the 1980's Neo-Classical metal. MacAlpine became known for combining shred, blues, and jazz fusion all into one genre.
Recently Tony has played live with Steve Vai's touring band The Breed. Tony can be seen in the band's "Live at Astoria London" DVD as well as two G3 DVD's "G3:Live in Denver" and "G3: Live in Tokyo"
