Jason Becker

[Vrad]

Greg Howe told me a story about him and Jason staying in a hotel room after doing clinics in the same town. It was really late at night and Jason was just chilling laying down playing unplugged. Greg asked him what the piece was that he was playing and that it sorta sounded familiar, it ended up being Bach's Bouree in E Minor..backwards!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a freak! Seriously. Guys like this come along so infrequently it's just such a damn shame.

I was at the Namm show in 87 ( I believe). There was a show in a very small room getting ready to start, never heard of the band (Cacophony). Me and a friend I was with sat down on the floor of a room a little larger than your average living room, and proceded to be blown away by Jason and Marty. We were seriously 4-5 feet away from these guys just burning on some of the most insane harmony lines Ive ever heard. The memory still lingers after all these years. Jason was amazing.
