On August 5th, ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman performed at Wacken Open Air 2023 with his solo band. Check out pro-shot video of "Devil Take Tomorrow", "Dragon Mistress" and "Kaze Ga Fuiteiru".
Friedman will host a special public Q&A session - dubbed "Ask Marty Vol. 2: An Insider's View Of Japan Through The Eyes Of An American Rockstar" - at the Japan Foundation in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 9th. Following is the event description:
"Why did the American legendary guitarist Marty Friedman leave one of the most successful heavy metal bands in history and decide to move to Japan in 2003? And more importantly, what has kept him there ever since, over 20 years later? Marty Friedman will expose Japan to you in ways you’ve never contemplated. Please send in your questions to Marty on five areas of life in Japan: language, music, lifestyle, manners, food, or any other burning questions you may have, and he will answer them as candidly as a rockstar possibly can!"
