A LITTLE ABOUT MARTY FRIEDMAN

Marty's first major impact in music was in the game-changing guitar duo Cacophony, which he founded with equally enigmatic and now legendary guitarist, Jason Becker.

He then spent 10 years as lead guitarist in the genre-defining thrash metal icon Megadeth. His tenure in the band, considered the "golden era" by many, was indisputably the most successful era in the band's history, by any criteria.

As much as he loved Megadeth, its music and its fans, Marty`s overwhelming love of Japanese music and the Japanese language, found him leaving the band and moving to Tokyo. It is there where his career took off in very unexpected ways.

Along with releasing his ever evolving solo albums, he also writes and performs with the top artists in Japanese music, racking up countless chart hits. His 14th solo album, "ONE BAD M.F. Live!!" is an all out celebration of Marty's music in its rawest form. With that album, the combination of his other worldly experiences culminate into an avalanche of emotion, in his immediately recognizable style.
