Movie comes out next week in UK about the life of Jason Becker - for those of you who don't know him, fantastically talented young guitarist who unfortunately developed AMS and is now restricted to eye movements, but is still composing... see http://vimeo.com/26981592 and http://www.jasonbeckermovie.com/ and to see why some of us rate him as one of the all-time greats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtjOe5e9VFA

I'll definitely check it out.....thanks mgh.

I haven't listened to Perpetual Burn in some time, but do remember getting the cd 10+ years ago.....got it along with Marty Friedman's Dragon Kiss cd. 

Good stuff!!    

oops, my bad, it's actually next month it comes out, still, gotta be worth a view

I remember viewing a video about him and his condition earlier this year. Deeply affecting. 

I never was into the whole shredders scene, I only knew his name and that he was regarded as one of the best out there back then. Musical style aside, he truly earned my respect as a very courageous man and totally dedicated musician. Those things transcend all genre boundaries.
