Marty Friedman left Megadeth because he said he liked to paint with yellow and purple instead on the same bullet grey. Jason Becker was like the perfect counterpart for his potential in my opinion.

there's been some great twin guitar bands over the years, but i think the friedman/becker guitar wizardry in cacophony is so far unsurpassed.

Jason Becker should recieve a lifetime achievement award, he's as inspirational as it gets!

[SefniVinalonn]

Marty is just such a humble and down to earth dude. Most guitar players would get jealous if another guitar player would 1-up all the time. But Marty wasn't jealous at all. He embraced it and ended up teaming with Jason to make some amazing material. The two are just so amazing.

Those 2 Cacophony CDs continue to be the most brutal guitar albums I ever heard.

[MetalReaperDanielR]

An incomparable duo of pure emotional and technical skill. Unmatched.

[PsyMongazoid]

Great talent and humility! Awesome combination.

[MikaelLV]

Filmed in 2011? WTF? Marty looks like he just recorded Countdown with Megadeth lol.

[pauldavies]

God he just doesn't seem to age! Great guitar player!

[Jerry-nurs]

hearing marty play makes me realize how beautiful life is

[jonnybravo]

his hair is still in the tightest insane curl after all these years

[SuperShredder]

Someone give this guy an award already for being so fuckin humble and virtious at the same time!

[progpogs]

What Marty just expressed is not only what guitarists, musicians or artists should strive for but all of humanity. Why don't we all step out of our out narrow mindedness and embrace cooperation that we can all benefit from.

looks like he still in 1992!!!! love you martyy

You should buy Not Dead Yet movie DVD. He talks like 90 mins. about Jason in extras.

Marty y aun visitas a tu gran amigo Jason Becker un gran musico y que les demuestra a muchos músicos que aun se puede seguir luchando

[EmptyKingdoms]

Maturity and comprehension, some of the most important things you'll need for being a great musician, knowing when to bow down and play along some magnificent guitarrist, or keyboardist, or even drummer or bassist is the best moment ever in a rehearsel or even a record, playing along, challenging, having fun and loving music as it always should and always will be.

[Incogk]

Indeed. I just watched a live performance of Megadeth's "The Killing Road" (one of my favourite songs due to Marty's solo) from 1995. Marty in this video looks as if he did this interview RIGHT after that performance. Holy ****!
