MARTY FRIEDMAN WEIGHS IN ON US MAINSTREAM MUSIC HITS COMPARED TO THOSE IN JAPAN - "A PERFECT VOCAL PERFORMANCE IS NICE, BUT ULTIMATELY CAN BE VERY BORING"

Guitarist Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth) has checked in from the road in the US with the following message:

"Ok gang, I've been on tour in the USA for a week now and I've heard more American music in that week than in the last year or so in Japan. I have to say, that I like a lot of it. The songwriting, arrangements and performances are great, and its easy to see why songs are hits.



Of course everything is on the grid, perfectly tuned and quantized, but that has been the norm in the US for a couple decades now.
