MARTY FRIEDMAN's Performance With TOKYO PHILHARMONIC To Be Broadcast On Japanese Television

February 17, 2011

Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman's performance with the Tokyo Philharmonic will be broadcast three times on Japan's TV Asahi. The first broadcast is scheduled for Sunday, February 20 at 9 a.m., the second for February 26 at 6:30 p.m. and the third for February 27 at 11 p.m.

A preview of the performance is available at this location.

In other news, Friedman will be a guest of Katsuya Kobayashi, host of "Best Hit USA", on TV Asahi on February 20 at 8 p.m.

"Bad D.N.A.", the new video from Marty Friedman, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Visual Trap, which has helmed all of the videos for DIR EN GREY. The song is the title track of Friedman's tenth solo album, which was released in Japan on August 25, 2010 via Avex. The CD was produced by Marty and engineered by Steve Hardy and Shinnosuke Miyazawa (LADY GAGA, GUNS N' ROSES) this April/May at The Village in Los Angeles, California.

According to a posting on Friedman's web site, "Bad D.N.A." is "a natural progression, picking up where 'Loudspeaker' and 'Tokyo Jukebox' left off and adding its own twists and turns."

Friedman's ninth solo album, "Tokyo Jukebox", was released in Europe on February 22, 2010 via Mascot Records. The CD featured extensive liner notes (written by Friedman in the "story behind the song" format) which are exclusive to the European release.
