I've never heard of Jason Becker. And he's got ALS? How old is he? ALS has got to be the absolute worst way to die. At least with Alzheimer's, they don't know what their losing. With ALS, your mind stays as sharp as a tack, but your body falls apart on you. Reminds me of the storyline for Metallica's One. Know what I mean?

I find this so funny. I'm 35, but from 13 through 25, the general population considered the music I listened to to be the loudest, rudest, most evil, music there was. I was always descriminated against because I was into "heavy metal". Those same bands today are now considered mellow. I pretty much stopped listening to new bands around the time I cleaned myself up, about 8-10 years ago.I still enjoy pissing people off with my music, though. In my F150, I have 2 amps, 4 speakers and a Bazooka powered sub. The cd in their right now is Ozzy's Speak of the Devil. Turned some heads the other day.

So where can I hear this Becker guy? I still believe with all my heart that the worlds best guitarist died on March 19, 1982.

Take care
