Marty Friedman`s presence in the world of music, the world of guitar, and Japanese pop culture is mystifying, bizarre, and nothing short of inspiring.
Friedman first gained attention with the band Cacophony, which he founded with equally enigmatic and now legendary guitarist, Jason Becker. They released two game-changing albums and then he was recruited by Megadeth in 1990, and in his tenure appeared on some of the most influential metal albums of all time. His breathtaking range and unorthodox musical contributions to `Rust In Peace' ,'Countdown To Extinction' `Youthanasia` and morehelped propel Megadeth to its career peak as well as made him an icon of exotic guitar playing.
After leaving Megadeth, Friedman relocated to Tokyo where he has become a household name, even beyond the world of music. Since moving to Japan, he’s appeared on over 700 Japanese TV shows of every variety, as well as motion pictures and commercials. He was also recently appointed an Ambassador of Japan Heritage by the Japanese Government. At the same time releasing his solo albums and touring for them with his Japanese band worldwide to a deeply enthusiastic fan base that continues to grow rapidly. 'Tokyo Jukebox 3' is his latest release, the third in this series of albums featuring Marty`s unique interpretations of Japanese songs.
