March 5, 2007

Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Be a part of Marty's upcoming live album! Marty will be recording the shows on his upcoming European tour (starting March 31st) for his new live album to be released later this year. Be there, witness this absolutely monster band and make yourself heard!!

"Those of you with access to Japanese TV, be sure not to miss Marty's live broadcast appearance on 'Space Shower' on March 6th as well as another upcoming appearance on 'Eigo De Shabera Night'. Footage from the ROCK FUJIYAMA BAND concert in February will be broadcast on the March 5th 'Rock Fujiyama'. Also be sure to check him out on 'Orikyun', 'Jukebox Eikaiwa', 'Yumeregi', and of course 'Rock Fujiyama' every week as well!

"If you are in Japan there is do doubt you have heard been unable to escape the Mitsubishi commercial that is constantly playing on TV as well as radio. Yes, that's Marty..."

As previously reported, joining Marty in his touring band will be guitarist Ron Jarzombek (WATCHTOWER),drummer Jeremy Colson and bassist Chris Catero.

Shrapnel Records has set a March 13 North American release date for the new solo album from Friedman, entitled "Loudspeaker".

According to a press release, "Loudspeaker" is an album that will change all preconceptions about instrumental albums. It is an emotionally fueled work of genius, mixed with brilliant guitar solo mastery that has become Marty Friedman's signature.

"Loudspeaker" features guest appearances by Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Mick Karn and Billy Sheehan. "For me it was a big experiment," Friedman explains. "I knew they were amazing, butI wanted to get these guys to play the most aggressive way they could because as a fan I really wanted to hear them like I never heard them before — in a full metal context."
