Where is marty friedman
With this video, I tried my best to share that unique feeling with you, and what better way than to have those cool folks jam for us.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time and energy to learn this song and make this video so fun to look at. So, the last thing I wanted to do was to ask permission to do a song, only to wind up not recording it for whatever reason. That would be very impolite. I spent several weeks choosing songs and demoing them to see whether I could create versions that I could get pumped up about, before I even approached any publishers.
I came up with a short list of 20 songs, and from this chose about 15 that I knew I could really score with. This is the only track on the album with vocals. On the day of release, the song went straight to the top of the Japanese iTunes chart. This was a huge honor, and it was wonderful to be able to work with such a prestigious orchestra which, rather conveniently, my wife plays cello in. Doing this was a little different from what I am used to, because instead of playing a completed track to record company people I had to face Japanese government officials.
I recall looking at their stony faces after they heard it and sweating anxiously awaiting their reaction. Thankfully, they liked what I'd done. I felt this was a great, uplifting way to close the album.

She is a powerhouse, and I honestly have never seen anyone hit the bass as hard as she does, especially while keeping up with my kind of challenging music. He is just plain phenomenal as well. The recording process started in January, and was due to end in March with a release in May. Then the pandemic struck, and everything was pushed back. My manager has been with me 15 years.
But I was certainly not going to take a loss to join a band that, frankly, at that point, didn't seem like they had too much to offer musically. A couple of members of the band had recently quit, and musically I hadn't heard anything that they've done in a long time.
I didn't know about how relevant they continued to be in the music business. I had reached the point where people stopped immediately connecting me to Megadeth and were talking about the things that I had done in Japan.
I didn't feel that kind of camaraderie, the four-man diamond, the Beatles, Kiss, Metallica. If I'm going to do that, I'm certainly not going to lose money to do that; I was doing great on my own in Japan. In , he recorded demos for Jet Red that eventually were released as bonus tracks on the Jet Red release "Flight Plan".
