No shit. I read all of his journals on his website awhile ago. It was so rivoting I couldn't stop.

Check out the Cacophony cd's he did with Marty Freidman. Killer shit.

yeh cacophony is what ive heard. i like the music, but the vocals are fuckin terrible.

 

[Will Bozarth]

you don't like pete marrino?

 

[neal]

80s buttrock vocals are not my favorite hehe.

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

about cacophony's vocals.....They are power metal vocals and they are great. Dude thats how alota people sang in the 80's, thats metal, take it or leave it, its not like the guy sounds like King Diamond.
Besides....

WE WON'T FORGET!!....SWOORD OF THE WORRRIYAAAA!!!.....SOLID STEEL!!!!

 

[MetalHeadMarc]

Holy shit!!!!..... becker

I can't believe how young he was and how good he was. Its sick. I mean at the talent show at his high school he played Yngwie Malmsteen's Black Star excellently and alot of the solos were improved on his part. I thought it was really funny when Jason played his open power cord and the principle made him turn down his amp just after he had turned it up.

Indeed! i havent heard all of the cds but i plan to...
