Marty Friedman - Live at Wacken Open Air 2023

[@blueearth5000]

Marty's world is in full bloom. Fusion of metal and Japanese Enka melodies and Anime songs. Beautiful melodies and positive vibes. I love it !

[@markymark1112345]

And he's stated he doesn't even watch anime. Which is crazy with how ensconced he is with the Japanese culture.

[@TheCyberMantis]

​@@markymark1112345 Anime is only one small part of Japanese culture. I like many things about Japan, but I don't watch anime either.

Marty is quite the Celebrity in Japan. He is On TV often and can be seen playing at Marathon's,Ball Games, Award Show's, etc.... A True Professor of his Instrument and its Performance.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Rock Fujiyama! Hell YEAH! 🤘🏼😁🤘🏼

[@jameswyatt7977]

that drummer was tight as! Marty is quickly becoming my favourite guitarist to watch live, truly amazing!

[@carcamovmusic]

His signature bendings... his signature vibrato... He is unique! 🎸🤟🏻

[@anonn.]

Until now, I only knew Marty from 'ROCK FUJIYAMA' but watching this live performance gave me a whole new appreciation for how the guitar can sing. 🎸 The sensation of the guitar telling a story is truly captivating. And let's not forget WAKAZAEMON on bass-rocking the stage with her vibrant pink hair, she adds a unique charm to the band, truly standing out and bringing a touch of glamour to the performance. Equally impressive and cool, her bass skills were a standout. Keep rocking, guys! 🤘

[@KyoMinx]

Dude this isnt even marty friedmans best work listen to tornado of souls by megadeth

[@SoundAloneband]

This guy got a very good band behind him. Killer players. He needs more credit for the megadeth sound. That era with him and Menza was what everyone knows when you say megadeth. Awesome performance

[@jetydosa1]

I keep coming back to this day after day and I really dont know the songs. Today I realized that the reason I'm so drawn to it, is that this is a band that is performing at the peak of their powers. They are all locked in with each other, they know it, and they're having a blast, doing what they love.

[@allan-shephard]

Ha. I found myself smiling when the bass player sang "we will rock you", and the whole damn metal crowd was absolutely with her. 😁 And check out how much the crowd got the emotion in Marty's playing. Awesome.

[@recklesswhisper]

Yes man... it was beyond plain KOOL! ^..^~~

[@medzougarimusic]

The Drummer is Jo Nunez ( Firewind, Dragonland, Gus G...)

[@nolituh]

Johan Nunez is an INSANE drummer!

[@guitarsrusinc2908]

Marty, watchin you guys play dragons kiss actually brought tears to my eyes... Have been a fan of your music for years and play guitar myself but never on the level you play. .I have not played much guitar in the past 20 yrs but back in the day when that album first came out I remember trying to learn it by ear ..with those harmonies n stuff it blew my mind... dude you are the best come back to the states n play out in the western suburbs of chicago sometime !

[@EJ_Celis]

I hope that there will be a G3 concert with Marty Friedman and Kiko Loureiro. These guys brings so much more color in guitar music.

[@zedddddful]

Never found kiko that interesting with megadeth can't think of a single standout solo he's good but no Marty tbh I thought Al pitrelli was far better.

[@Zwellop]

@@zedddddful Sacrifice, Poisonous shadows, Dystopia have some of the solos by Kiko that really stand out for me

[@reverieasmr1444]

That would be so sick!

[@A7XKOLYAN93]

G3/ Marty, Kiko and Chris Broderick😅

[@sambitbasak765]

Chris Poland too

[@studas2011]

One of the greatest guitarists/musicians who ever lived.

[@akidk1499]

11:49 He's playing 0-7-2 by Marty Friedman From Music for Speeding Album

[@arlos21]

That's great😊 it's not easy to recognize an excerpt of a song let.alone getting the correct name of an instrumental song... I remember Marty played 0-7-2 at some point while doing a live guitar solo back un the 90's during his Megadeth days you don't hear that song live often.

[@progrob27]

What an amazing show, absolutely loving this. Marty sounds even better live than on the album what a superstar!

[@venomslair137]

Is that weird that I'm doing a reverence in front of my smartphone's screen? I respect Marty a lot!

[@teikpohsee5356]

The bassist is Wakazaemon who is now in the new supergroup East of Eden.

[@metalfriend6110]

Guitar poetry and what an amazing band!!! (Wakazaemon 🖤) ギターの詩と素晴らしいバンドですね!!! (わかざえもん 🖤)

[@easy_e_1976]

I saw this myself live that day. It was amazing and seeing him play with Megadeth as well. It was so special.

[@Murasama]

I absolutely love his emotion filled (and heavier) renditions of various Japanese enka singers (like Ishikawa Sayuri and Misora Hibari) songs which I always heard growing up (since my parents listened to them). Also glad he has Morioka Naoki in his band (Morioka was one of the main guitarists for one of my favorite Japanese artists, ZARD (the singer Sakai Izumi passed away after a fall back in 2007); Friedman did a killer cover of one of the groups biggest songs, 負けないで (Makenaide) which is on his channel.

[@theprisonier]

This guy is a MASTER !!!!!

[@slayer92666]

I just love so much the artistic and original ways Mr. Friedman has to compose and play those oriental music style added to rock. Unique, emotional and strong, really strong and wonderful. Thank you so much Marty, for mixing so well these generes

[@antney6745]

Flawless with plenty of emotion, legend of the game with killer band! Bravo.

[@user-vu8jy4wc7w]

Thank you Mr. Rock Fujiyama, absolute guitar legend. Fantastic arrangement for Kazega fuiteiru. From Japan.

[@AweeRB26]

Marty Friedman!🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼🇲🇾👊🏼🤘🏼

[@vhw]

No locking tuners, basic plastic nut and he still makes those MF-1 signature models squeal. Marty is out of this world

[@vanishevi4]

Many ppl think if they have stainless frets, hipshot's, 2000 years old fretboard from Maya jungle etc. this make your guitar sound better.

[@Mr.D34]

Actually his guitar has Schaller locking tuners. Also, it's not a basic plastic nut, it's a bone nut. It wouldn't matter though he can make everything sound good. Just wanted to share the right information about his guitar.

[@Mr.D34]

​@@vanishevi4 Stainless frets make bending easier and you won't ever need to worry about re-fretting your guitar which is an expensive job and it better be done by someone very good if you don't want to f*ck up your guitar. I don't know what you're referring to by "hipshots" because they make bridges, tuners etc. Whatever the case it's gonna improve your guitar without a doubt. So far i've never seen a 2000 years old wood on a guitar. Guitar players buy these things to improve their guitar's quality because it just feels better, not because it makes them sound like Steve Vai or Carlos Santana.

[@bloodiy_1324]

Lmao no tf u talking haha he is not using a plastic nut

[@gvsd3]

​@@Mr.D34Agree, expensive guitar = more comfortable and reliability, in fact sound can be manipulated by a lot of factor, but playing experience can't...

[@stevengoodman3498]

I hope Chargee gets well soon and returns to the drumkit. He truly is an animal! This guy did a good job though. Any chance to see Marty play is truly a blessing. 😊

[@deadfish7577]

I want to hear the bass player singing in the next album!

[@VideogamesWorld93]

Marty is by far the greatest guitar player in trash metal history. He was creating a whole new genre with every solo space he was given!

It's spelled as Thrash.

[@mercyme3400]

Not sure if any of you agree with me that Megadeth owe this J-Rock Guitar Hero a lot! Without him Megadeth wouldnt be as big as they are now!

[@hallgeirpedersen4331]

One of the true original players of the 80's.

[@the_releaser]

The man is a beast on the guitar. 10:15 His vibrato in terms of how much pure emotion he puts into the bends and vibrato is right up the with the very best...Angus Young. Edit. It's now the next day and I've just listened to comfortably numb again and I think I should have included David Gilmour in there as well as joint top 1 with Angus Young.

[@mvunit3]

Its freakin' cool to see Marty making us Metalheads smile from ear to ear. I saw him for the 1st time (solo) earlier in the year opening for Queensrÿche, and I've been a fan since his band "Hawaii", and then REALLY got into him and his good friend Jason Becker in *Cacophony* and their debut solo albums. But I didn't get to see Marty till he joined Megadeth, and saw the next 2 album tours. But to hear him finally play his solo material, it was a dream come true. Though, when he said they were going to do a track from his 1st album (Dragon Mistress), he asked the crowd; "ARE YOU READY!!!???" and I said outloud; "NOOOO!!!!! I'm not!!!", my 2 friends and the people around us started laughing 😊. - Thanks Marty for your awesome music \m/.

[@remote24]

its different. its fun. way too many bands playing by the book. awesome

[@carlosvilla1888]

Fantastic

[@LukasMatejka-du5hb]

Marty is such a wizard..... ironic how he made more for thrash, than most players from the genre, who are actual metalheads :D Marty was never even that much interested in becoming metal guitarist...... but somehow ended up on the best thrash album of all time :D

[@outwest1014]
