[@vizroncreativemedia5119]

Words cannot describe my feelings about this young man. His ability was above and beyond all in his realm. Had he remained healthy, he would have been without peer. His story makes me realize how blessed I really am, but at the same time how the wrath of fate can be so cruel. We were denied the majic of one of the best ever to pick up the six strings. But his will...his will to continue without self pity. He is a giant among men and a reminder, a reminder to never take anything for granted. Jason Becker the guitar player...I revere. Jason Becker the man....I adore, respect and love.

[@X3000Chan]

Vizron Creative Media Yes but, his ability is still among those in his realm, for sure. He's one of the healthiest people alive with ALS, and one of the longest living, being not only alive, but thriving, almost 30 years after his diagnosis. I don't think Jason needs anyone's pity, but I'm sure he'd love your support. His newest album, Triumphant Hearts, is coming out now, and from the songs I've heard so far, it's incredible. But I'm not surprised. That's Jason Becker; An incredible inspiration of what the human being can achieve when they put their mind and their soul and their focus into something and don't let go no matter what. I'm so glad he's alive and on this earth and I can't wait to get Triumphant Hearts.🌎💛

[@danseq]

Hi Folks. This is Dan, Jason's long-time keyboardist and coproducer/engineer. (2:08). A couple of clarifications: The first song is "Showtime", a DLR song co-written by Jason. The second song at 2:08 is Primal, from Jason's album "Perspective". The crunchy guitar chords there are one of the last things Jason ever played on guitar. Although Steve Perry does appear on the song doing a kind of chant in the middle, the lead vocal is actually Raz Kennedy, though yes he does sound a lot like Steve!

[@jesterman1302]

Hey Dan... I have a question.. Does Jason have an electronic system for tracking his eye movements? If not I would really like to build one for him free of charge. Kindly let me know...

[@killereverb3928]

In ‘86 I can remember watching Jason and Marty Friedman playing as “Cacophony” at the NAMM Show in Anaheim. Standing 3 feet from Jason in a small room I could see what a massively talented and mind blowing guitarist he was. Looking back I was so fortunate to see him at the beginning of his climb to the top of modern rock guitar. God bless you Jason always.

[@kyleolin3566]

I just found Jason Becker. And he is an inspiration to me. I am 32, legally blind, have arthritis, as well as bronchiactisis. I have laid concrete, been a landscaper, was a commercial transport mechanic for 10 years, have been a musician for just over 10 years, and am working on my degree in counselling. I plan on starting my own practice, and use music to influence my work. Never give up on a dream, unless you have found a better one to follow!

[@volteker1]

Best of luck to you!

[@Law-Enduring-Citizen]

Save some pussy for the rest of us, you stud! ;) lol I sincerely hope the best for ya brother. You are a true inspiration! 🙏🏼

[@toximan2008]

@@lidokork Talent exists. Don't be naive. Some people have naturally higher capacities for physical feats of strength, for instance. The right muscle fiber composition. The right physiological dampening of pain. Don't think of talent as some otherworldly phenomenon. Talent is just another word for genetics. You're going to tell the short balding person that genetics don't exist as they stand next to the very tall person with a full head of hair?

[@Uke4U2]

Watch this movie and see one of the best guitar players of all time. What a great film and inspiring person.

[@jennifergibb795]

I cried so hard watching this movie. Jason is such an exceptional Person. I love him so much

[@Henryguitar95]

Life is so fucking unfair.

[@adamkahn8645]

thats why Jason forced life to bend to HIS will..... hes an inspiration

[@DeadGlassEyes]

To know that you are destined to be huge, are onto something great, admired by thousands of people and incredibly talented.. and to have it all taken away from you, is probably one of the cruelest things I've ever seen. It tore my heart apart when I saw him crying in this video. Knowing you have so much to give, and not being able to give it. Jason, you are and always will be the best.

[@WeGachaMetal]

There are no words to describe the emotions you feel after watching this. I was lucky enough to interview Jason on my college radio station in NJ in the late 80’s. We were both kids, but his playing was generations ahead of the curve.

[@JoakimFritz]

I am crying... tears of joy. I owe Jason, not only as a guitarist, as a human being. Throughout years of depression, one of the things that kept me going was the inspiration that Jason radiates. Thank you so much Jason!

[@tsbflyingv]

God, I cried like a baby... So sad, he´s a hero

[@MattMcloughlin]

If Jason could still play today, i think there is no doubt he would be one of the best that ever was, being that good at the age he was is unbelievable. His story is so heartbreaking yet so inspiring, and i hope he goes on to create even more fantastic music, Jason Becker is truly an amazing musician and such an inspiration

[@Breisler]

I cried. That man is a living legend beyond comprehension. I would do anything to give him is movements back. A life so young destroyed.

[@beekah992]

Its amazing to me that someone can be such a prodigy and be so strong at the same time. Such an inspiration~

[@Bhotoshop]

When I listen to Jason Becker I'm like, "What the BECK was that?"

[@NBLP7001]

The look on anguish on his face at 2:34, heartbreaking.

[@sgtcortez19]

So much innocence, love, humor and talent in his eyes... I have nothing but pure love and respect towards that guy. This never should have happened to him.

[@tibonev]

Jason will never die. His body may leave this earth, but his music and his lessons will live on forever. He is unique, talented and special, a true man and a inspiration for anyone, musicians or not, to know that when you love something nothing can stop you. Long live JB. :)

[@donnacurran3388]

Jason Becker is the saint of all playing quitar music, we love him and pray for him, Donna

[@TheWarmFire]

If this gets to Jason or not, I am in complete humility. I have been a guitarist/singer/songwriter for over 30 years. I've never been near the stature that Jason holds, but my issues as a musician are nothing. Jason, you are an inspiration that should be cherished deeply and forever.

[@ZiggyTheAdventurer]

think of how many people take simple mobility for granted. life is such a precious and fragile gift.

[@fstream]

Perpetual Burn is the best and the more beautifull cd ever created by a guitarist. Jason Becker still alive and will be forever. Thank You Jason, for make my day better when I listen your songs.

[@NealNagaoka]

You see, for me Jason, Being an actual seizure sufferer for the last 10 years and with all those weird and experimental meds resulting in me being an actual heart attack victim as well 3 years ago. So I kind of know what its like to be helpless on a smaller scale. I can't even imagine what you must have gone through. But because of you Jason, you have helped inspire me to keep on going too. Watching you never give up, you have been an inspiration to me. So Jason, you have my support to the end!

[@Loveejessaa]

I never listened to Jason Becker before, until I met my boyfriend. And honestly, One of the best I ever heard. I thought he was such a talented guitarist! This is such an amazing story, because he still tries to play music and doesn't give up! His story is inspiring to me, he is so talented and may God be with him and his family

[@mariesutube]

God bless your family & especially Jason! There needs to be more home health care for ALS patients.

[@gringostarr69]

Jason has kept me going from the days when I thought I don't want to continue anymore. But when ever I listen to his music after all these years, it gives me strenght to keep on going. World didn't loose anything when Jason lost his ability to play with his hands, it gained much more than 99% of musicians can ever give. Thank you Jason!!❤

[@zerothreefive6014]

I cried. Happens everytime i watch this. I would have loved to see Jason outshine all of these new guitar guitarists like Tim and tosin. In a recent interview Jason Becker said he was sad that he couldn't pick up the guitar and try to play these people songs. But these people wouldn't exist in the music world without him

[@yotomote]

Thank you for being born, Jason. Thank you for your music and inspiration.

I'm going to be straight up when I say that Jason Becker and his drive makes me seriously emotional. I love the guitar and everything about this silly instrument. For him to be the same and have it taken away, only to keep pushing on at 10,000 times the effort.. True Passion can't be killed. I wish I could shake his hand.

Seriously, Jason Becker is such an inspiration as a human being, not only musically but his willing to live and his strength inspires me beyond words, what an exceptional person he is

[@Roadghost88]

I heard the interview with Jason Becker on CBC's "As it Happens" yesterday. What a remarkable person this man is, not because of what he did when he was well, but because of what he is doing right now. A true inspiration. Like most I wish I had a magic wand to repair Jason, and Clive Burr for that matter. But spiritually I believe Mr. Becker has a mission on this earth - a job to do, and he's doing it. Keep it up dude.

[@jonathanguitar27]

I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet this man. Although he cannot speak, his presence and smile are so communicative. The movie really inspired me to practice the guitar more and just to appreciate the life that I've been given. I hope that someday i can be half as good as he was (is). Thank You Jason. Thank You.

[@DadRockProject]

I've been ignorant to Jason's music forever. I've heard his name mentioned and I knew about his condition but today his solo album came up my Spotify suggestions. I put it on and immediately was in awe of his playing - considering the year and age too... such an awesome guitar player. So happy to have found his music.

[@SoundTheorysStudios]

Back in 2009 Jason won the Guitar Player Hall Of Fame Award for creativity, courage, & inspiration. There's no doubt that he deserves that award.

Kudos to Netflix for adding this to their streaming lineup so that it has an opportunity to reach a larger audience. I am both a filmmaker and a musician, and I found this documentary to be one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Enormously inspiring and beautiful. All the best to you, Jason. You're going to continue to inspire a lot of people with your talent and perseverance.

[@arkapadel]

When I first listened to this guy playing the guitar, I was amazed. He was a gifted player and I thought he might easily be one of the best guitarists in the world in the near future. Then I found out about his illness and I sadly took for granted that he would pass away in a couple of years. I came across this video today and not only he's still alive and kicking, but he's also managed to achieve something even more difficult than succeeding as a guitarist: be a true inspiration to all of us.

[@frankwawziniak1004]

I hope in 30 years,we can say."HE IS STILL HERE !!" all the best for the BEST

[@SoundTheorysStudios]

Even after all this man has been through he still continues.. this man never gave up. That's a true hero. He has my respect, not because of his disease, but because he never gave up. That's a hero and a true inspiration. I hope and pray to god he will get better someday and I hope he lives long enough to be able to pick up a guitar again and grace the world with his soul driven playing. Keep going Jason! Never give up!

Those of us who grew up on the most flourished epoch of guitar, the 80's, were fortunate to experience the flood of talent in that decade. The doors were blasted open then and now are basically the starting point of new generation guitarists, making those few much more advanced at their age now than we were when we started with , Hendrix, Django R, whatever your taste was at your starting point. Jason was at the gates right on time and he knew what to do with his talent. Impressive.
