Former Megadeth guitarist, Marty Friedman, on Britney Spears
Quote:
Marty Friedman is one of the finest shredders to come out of the ’80s, and one of the survivors from that age. The two albums he released with Cacophony (also featuring the great Jason Becker) are still influential today. After Megadeth, he became very popular in Japan working on TV and in the local “J-pop” music scene as producer and musician.
Guitar International got a chance to sit down with the legendary fret-destroyer after a clinic in Italy.
Lelio: Do you have any artist that surprised you lately?
Marty Friedman: I’m always surprised how good Britney Spears albums are, very good. She has so many problems in the media, but she still makes great, cutting-edge pop music, so I think it’s great.
Let's see what excuses the haters are gonna come up with now. We know they always find something to try to discredit *any* compliment Britney receives, especially now that her tour is being praised back and forth.
