New Marty Friedman album

[Ben...]

Marty still is top of his game, no matter if it's "gay" japanese pop. The cover of polyrythm is orgasm-inducing.

I agree. Some of the other songs are less palatable though.

Marty Friedman could solo over the sound of fat sweaty men having sex with each other and it'd sound awesome.
But yeah, this album is lacking the balls of something like his "Music For Speeding" stuff.

[Hellbat]

Contrary to my prior post on this thread that was just my attempt at making a joke by referring the thread to itself, I think Marty has great skills and he's really the only reason I even listen to Megadeth at all. I would hug him if I met him for the solo on Hangar 18 alone.

I think Marty still has an impact to make on the music industry.


As soon as he learns how to hold a pick...

:ROTF:

Seriously, if he ever loses his picking hand he can just tape a pick to a hook and he wouldn't lose a step.

I have no idea how he can play holding the pick like that. I admit it, it freaks me out to watch him play. But it somehow sounds good when he does it.

Gotta agree there, the weird asian techno throws me off sometimes. It's definately not close to something like Rust In Peace. :p

I've listened to this a lot, in the background, and it's fucking awesome. Nah, it's got no major riffage on it, but Marty's playing is just incredible. The guy knows how to shred without shredding if you know what I mean. It's unbelievable. Even the shitty drum beats I'd normally never entertain sound great in this context. I'm starting to think Marty Friedman is some kind of minor God of some description, on a par with Simon Cowell or Jesus or someone like that (hope Dave Mustaine doesn't read that).
Check this shit out and tell me Marty's playing doesn't turn a shitty J-pop song into something awesome:

I've never been a die-hard fan of his but somehow pretty much all his soloing is very enjoyable no matter over what it's being played.

I think it has to do with the fact that his phrasing is very melodic and very Brian May'ish. I mean Marty has stoled so much from Brian May it's ridiculous I should know, I've been listening to Queen since I was 5 and I'm one of the biggest May fans.
But Marty made it his own, but you can always tell that his phrasing melodies are very May-ish + all those cool eastern melodies he does + some Uli John Roth's lines and Frank Marino's pentatonic runs... and on top of all that he has such a badass vibrato.
His playing contains all the best elements.. lead wise... that's why he sounds so good.

[Hellbat]

Yeah Marty is a hell of a tasty player with great tone. That last track though sounds like he is playing over a crazy frog backing track. The playing - A, the song - D.

the playing is great of course but that beat annoys the hell out of me... electronic music has so much cool beats but he has to choose the one which all the white trash douchebags in their old BMW's listen to while being high on speed... fucking 90's please go away

Like I said months ago. If you look passed his gay intentions, the results are awesome.

[MartinBarre]

Like I said months ago. If you look passed his gay intentions, the results are awesome.

And like everyone wondered months ago, what gay intentions does Marty have since he's fucked a ton of hot women more than you have (you think Megadeth never got any groupies?!) and how come you can't spell "past" anyway?

Endrik and Hellbat, you get my point. The backing tune is stupid, sounds like crap. But Marty somehow makes it listenable.

[Endrik]

I think this is one of the reasons why Marty doesn't care about going back to Megadeth... the amount of puss he gets in Japan must be pretty awesome

"gay intentions"?

HOLY SHIT! ONE PERSON!!! I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's gay to dress up in flaring spandex pants and 6" moon shoes. I guess the 80's aren't all that "passed" now.

[Ben...]

You all seem to be forgetting Marty is in Japan now. They're into all sorts of weird shit.

KISS are gayer than you. Right. They never had any sex. You in your jeans and T shirt are way more hetero, having a lot more sex and stuff than guys like that..
I'll be gay and wear a bra and stockings if it means I get to fuck the groupies those guys musta done.
