It was just a, you know, too much… I didn’t have the time or ability to cultivate the world outside of Japan so much and to do stuff like that right you really have to spend a lot of time touring and doing press and stuff like that and there just wasn’t enough hours in the day because I was so incredibly busy in Japan with everything here that I couldn’t give the albums the, you know, cultivation that they deserved outside of Japan. Yeah I’ve been really pretty much tied up in Japan with my activities over here and I’ve released several albums here in Japan. Is there a reason you didn’t release anything to us in the US here for so long? In May of 2014 you released Inferno and that is your first solo album to be released in the US in I think a decade or so here. That’s the kind of reaction that I think we’re going to get. going to be a lot of different things that you wouldn’t really expect but the main focus is probably going to be on overall adrenaline and overall, wow I can’t believe it was this intense you know, and kind of surprise. There could be a surprise vocal by myself or someone else from the band. So maybe a couple guests might come out or something? So are you going to have a vocalist for these shows on this tour? It could happen but I wouldn’t go counting on it. Yeah I really wouldn’t expect stuff from other bands.
I’ve got twelve albums of solo stuff to choose from. Yeah I wouldn’t expect anything from the other bands really. So can fans expect anything from your older bands like Cacophony or Megadeth or Metal Clone X or anything like that? The stuff that’s worked best live in the past and the stuff that I’ve been wanting to play from my new album Inferno is going to get the most air time during the concerts. I think we’re shooting for like a two hour show, give or take a few minutes either way but there’s going to be a lot of surprises, a lot of things that people don’t expect. Obviously it’s a lot of stuff to choose from. It’s going to have a little bit of everything in there. So what kind of set list can fans expect to see on this tour?
Now Marty, you have eleven solo albums to choose material from and songs from other bands as well that you’ve been in. Marty released a solo album in 2014 titled Inferno and he’ll be kicking off his US tour in our area at the Baltimore Soundstage on September 9th.
Hello this is Metal Chris from and I’m talking to the legendary guitarist Marty Friedman via Skype from Japan right now.
