David Lee Roth on Jason Becker.

Then again, Becker - from Dave's perspective - wasn't so much a friend, as a business associate and employee, and a brief one at that. In those terms, it's maybe not so bizarre that Dave has not maintained contact through the years.

His respect for Becker was shown through his compassionate words in CFTH. Dave seems to have a limited number of people he cares about in his world (once when asked who his best friend was, he didn't even understand the question, and eventually said his sister), so this emotional distance is consistent.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Gosh, I hope your hands were clean. :p

If you do, remember to say you're HIS fan, not Dave's. Given the circumstances I do believe it would be a very wise move.

Cheers! :bottle:

I am as well, ever since the song "Scarified" was featured in Guitar Player back when they included floppy records with the issues. Great tune.

Those were great. A couple of ones I played the most were Blues Saraceno and one with Gilbert/Sheehan.

Man, Cacophony is insane. Speed Metal Symphony is UN-FUCKING-REAL. There is pure brilliance in that guitar playing.

Anyone know if Marty Friedman is still in touch with Jason?
