Thank god they quit and made solo albums, that is all.

Speed Metal Symphony was amazing, really groundbreaking work by those two issued by an iconic music label (Shrapnel) in the 80s metal/shred business. I still play that CD time to time.

I never got into the second album they did.

[Jacksons Shred]

I was morbidly obsessed with Cacophony and the solo work of Jason Becker and Marty Friedman for YEARS. I learned practically every Cacophony song at one point. The music they wrote is on another level, but the production was terrible on Speed Metal Symphony. Before Jason Beckers website had a complete remodel it was really hard to find information on the Cacophony stuff, but I hunted for it night and day. A few members on this board even got to see Cacophony play some shows, play at NAMM, etc..

Jacksons Shred, Do you have the live video of them in LA? There's a show they did for GIT i think it was their first show actually.
I also have that show from Japan on VHS somewhere packed away from the 90's where the camera cuts away to the drummer or something every damn time they play a solo. But the one in LA is ok, you would want that as a fan for sure.
