MEGADETH To Reunite With MARTY FRIEDMAN At Tokyo Concert
14 February 2023
Dave Mustaine has confirmed to Rolling Stone that former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will join the band at its first-ever gig at Tokyo's famed Budokan later this month.
Friedman will come up on stage for three songs during the show's encore.
The Budokan concert, which will be livestreamed on February 27 and available on demand for a couple of days after, marks the first time in more than two decades Friedman has shared a stage with the group.
"When Marty said, 'Hey, I can play at this gig,' I thought, 'This is so magnificent,'" Mustaine told Rolling Stone. "It's gonna be so much fun to get Kiko [Loureiro, current MEGADETH guitarist] and Marty together, because they're both geniuses on guitar. So this is like a gigantic birthday and Christmas present for me."
"It has been a long time — 23 years to be exact since I've been on the same stage with Dave Mustaine making music," Friedman said in a statement. "We've both taken drastically different paths since then. That doesn't change the fact that I'm extremely proud of the part that I played in MEGADETH's history and legacy. I'm also very, very proud of the band's many great achievements and continued success in my absence. For right now, I just feel immense joy and some serious adrenaline. I am looking forward to playing with MEGADETH at this very cool place, the Budokan."
