The Jericho Network on Westwood One

Alright, it's Japan Week on Talk as Jericho. First up, former Megadeth guitar player,

Marty Friedman, was in one of the biggest bands on the planet and he left it all behind to move to Japan.

He moved there 10 years ago because he loves the country, the music scene, the food, the language,

the people. He hates driving there. You'll hear why he's coming up. We'll also get into this time

with Megadeth. Why he really left Megadeth. We'll talk about working with Dave Mastain. We'll talk

about learning the Japanese language. We'll talk about a total culture shock of leaving your entire

country behind to move to a foreign place that's so different from the United States. Plus,

we'll talk about his new album Inferno, which he says is the heaviest thing he's ever recorded and

released and he's about to come back to the US to tour the states for the first time in 10 years.

Kambawa Morishiichi Desi, Marty Friedman is here.

Alright, welcome to Talk as Jericho, the pot of thunder and a rock and roll.

And today's episode is being supported by Burger King right now at Burger King. Get the new

extra long jalapeno cheeseburger. Feel the flame, feel the fire, feel the heat with two albivepadis

stacked with spicy jalapeno peppers. They're now part of the two for five dollar deal. That's right,

two sandwiches for five bucks. Only at Burger King limited time only restrictions apply. Alright,

I want you to try those out. Go get a couple extra long jalapeno cheeseburgers. Sit down and

listen to former Megadeth guitar player Marty Friedman who is now living in Japan. He left the United

States behind because he loved the culture. He loved the vibe. He loved the people in Japan and

boy, what a culture shock it is. I talked to him live from a Tokyo hotel room. This is Japan week

baby on a Gai Shima. Alright, I hope you enjoy this show. Wotashiwa, Chris Jericho. I used to know

to speak a little bit of Japanese, but Japanese is very hard to learn how to speak as you'll find out.
