Marty Friedman Defected?

Re: Marty Friedman Defected?

It sucks that he left Jackson, but I'm glad he did go with Ibanez. That way, he gets an Ibanez model instead of a copy of a Jackson model with another company's name that won't be specifically mentioned cough*ESP*cough on it.

Marty said that Jacksons were great for all the meedl meedly meedly stuff but not good for complex chording - I guess that qualifies as stupidity.

Have you guys ever considered becoming comedians and taking this thing on the road? It could be "The Travelling JCF Comedy Show", or something like that. I'd pay to see it in my town. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Had to look that one up.

Intarweb... Intentional misspelling for 'internet' usually used when making fun of people who are technologically impaired.

OMG! Teh Intarweb si down!!11! All of my AOL Blast Capacity leaked out!

See, this is just another example of the fine things I learn here. In fact, I think I'll call my next band "Blast Capacity". I like it. [img]graemlins/fart.gif[/img]

In retaliation, he sold off a majority of his Jacksons, told Jackson that all of the Y2KV signature guitars being built (even the ones already paid for) were to be stopped and destroyed.

What a f'n crybaby. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

If he can play an ibanez and like it, fine thats for him. If they can give him more money, thats great.

And after ready he wants to play pop **** like sugar ray, he is going ot need all the money he can get.

Stupid permed hair ass.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think that's more an indication that Marty's too nice a guy to flat-out diss the "old" company as crap as he moves over to his new endorsement deal. Unlike some former endorsees who bemoan their old guitars as being the biggest loads of crap that they had to suffer purely for the sake of the deal, until they finally got a deal with [insert name of newly-endorsed equipment manufacturer here]

Chris is the SECOND-BEST lead guitarist of Megadeth! Hey, he is better than Jeff

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Marty is the overall better guitar player, but if you’re a Megadeth purist, Chris Poland was the most crucial guitarist for anyone’s timeframe in the band. And my all-time favorite songs of there’s has Chris on guitar: Wake Up Dead and Devil’s Island. Wake Up jumps out of the speakers and slaps the listener around, and I highly recommend checking this song out if you’re a new guitarist. Jeff Young was notable because he had great technique, and I always thought he kind of looked like Randy Rhoads. So, for the best songs: Poland, technique: Young, and overall ability: Marty. And as far as endorsements, I’ll miss that Jackson guitar in Marty’s hands. Anything else will just not look right to me. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
