Marty Friedman

April 26th, 2007

Over the years a lot of my favourite bands have split up or changed their line-ups. I often find myself wondering what the members of some of these bands are up to these days. So yesterday I found myself listening to Megadeth again and I was wondering what Marty Friedman is up to lately. I use to listen to Megadeth almost every day during high school and I still think the albums they recorded with Marty Friedman on lead guitar are some the best speed metal albums ever made.

So I decided to check out Marty Friedman on Wikipedia and found some interesting facts about Marty Friedman. It turns out he currently lives in Japan, he also speaks fluent Japanese and he is the host of his own television show on Japanese television. He has also been recording some solo albums as well as with other artists over the last few years. I had a listen to some of his songs on his website but I wasn’t too impressed. Obviously he’s still an able guitarist, probably better than ever, but his music sounds like the experimental antics I’ve heard from a dozen other solo progressive rock musicians.
