    Artist: Marty Friedman

    Album: Tokyo Jukebox 3 (Mascot Label Group/The Players Club)

    Regularly hailed as one of the most innovative and explosive guitarists in the rock arena since his appearance on Cacophony’s 1987 debut album, Speed Metal Symphony, Marty Friedman went on to spend 10 years in Megadeth from 1990. For many, the albums Megadeth released with Friedman onboard are the best in their catalogue.

    Marty left Megadeth in 2000, stating that he felt restricted by the boundaries of traditional metal and that it was counter-productive to his evolution as a musician. Life after ’Deth included a move to Japan in 2003, where he had already experienced success while in Cacophony and Megadeth. Since then he’s become a huge multimedia star in his new home-country, appearing, to be played at government-sponsored events celebrating Japanese heritage.
