KERRY KING! MARTY FRIEDMAN! JAMMING! TOGETHER!!!

 Thursday, April 24th, 2008 at 2:57pm by

A big big thanks to MetalSucks Maniac* TedTedPoleyPoley for sending us this clip of Slayer’s Kerry King and ex-Megadeth axe master Marty Friedman jamming on some classic riffs for a Japanese television show.

I know there’s a certain amount of Kerry King backlash amongst our readship as of late, but, c’mon, you gotta admit: this is pretty cool. Also, Friedman remains my favorite lead guitarist for Megadeth. And not just ’cause he’s Jewish.

*Like that? I just came up with it. Seriously. Some people say I should be a writer.

    Friedman? Jewish? No way!

    For the record, my bashing of King has never been his skill or his riff-writing. I have just always found his solos to be useless speed noodling that don’t fit the songs.

    And yes, this video is damn cool. The faux righteous indignation from King when Marty asks him to play “Hotel California” is pretty funny.

    I’d like to see a guitar-off between Friedman and Alex Skonick.

    Pretty cool. I kept waiting for Mr. Sparkle to start bouncing around the screen and banish them both to the land of wind and ghosts.

    That was actually pretty awesome. Weird shit they air over there in Japan….

    Marty Friedman is awesome, a great guitar God. When the dude’s not helping out some Jpop artists he’s on a TV cooking show http://japansugoi.com/wordpress/marty-friedman-on-japanese-cooking-show-saturday-night-chubaw
