MARTY FRIEDMAN To Perform At Asian GRAMMYS Equivalent

March 25, 2010

Due to his upcoming musical activities, former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will be taking a hiatus from one of his regular TV programs, "Transporter".

For two years and 100 episodes, the show is one of the highest rated on Japan's Space Shower network.

The final episode will air on March 30 at 9 p.m.

If you have access to Japan's Space Shower network, be sure to watch as Layla and Marty say their farewells and show some clips of Marty's best performances on the show.

Friedman is also leaving his TBS radio weekly program, "Kakiiin", as well as his monthly feature in Big Comic magazine.

Marty will perform live next week at the awards ceremony which is the Asian equivalent to the Grammys.

In between Marty's solo activities and TV and radio responsibilities in Japan, he is also making news in Asia outside of Japan collaborating with one of Asia's brightest superstars, A-Mei.

A-Mei and Marty made national breaking news in Taiwan with their performances at the Taipei Arena.

The news clip below was filmed at the beginning of the concert and was broadcast while the nearly four-hour-long show was still in progress. Marty appears towards the middle of the clip.

Both the March 19 and March 20 shows were sold out months in advance and were filmed for a live DVD for release later this year.
