MARTY FRIEDMAN's Japan Is Alright
June 18, 2005Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman's web site has been updated with the following message:
"Those with access to Japanese TV will get a double shot of Marty on Tuesday nights!! In the time slot just before TV Tokyo's 'Hebimetasan', Marty will appear on Saito Nobu's 'God Joint' for two episodes in July. This is a must-see for fans of Marty's playing as the premise of the weekly show is an unrehearsed ad-lib 'jam session' between Saito Nobu and Japan's most respected musicians in an extremely unlikely location for a jam session... We can't tell you where they shot the episodes, but prepare for some big surprises! Air times are July 5 at 12:30 a.m. (Tuesday night) and July 19 at the same time on the BSQ network.
"Marty did an 'unplugged' show with Aikawa Nanase on her monthly 'Music Garden' radio program. They did three songs and a long interview together, which was topped off with a guest appearance by Pata (X JAPAN) who will be joining Nanase and Marty on their summer tour of Japan. The musical chemistry between Nanase and Marty is undeniable, and Marty is known to be a big X JAPAN fan so the three of them got into details about this unique (and unlikely?!) group.
"Marty's daily articles in Tokyo Sport begin the first week of July. The title of the column will be 'Marty's Nihon tte ii jan!' ('Marty's Japan is Alright!')"
