- Despite releasing an album called "Speed Metal Symphony" and playing in Megadeth for a decade, Marty Friedman is not a heavy metal fan. Uh, what?

Lollercaust.

LOLLERCAUST!

LOLLERCAUST!!!!

Roflez...Sorry about that...But Marty Friedman USED to like heavy metal...Only god knows why he's changed to pop/dance music...He has said in many interviews that he used to listen to it all the time when he was younger, and he would not have written those fast/complex shred solo's if he wasn't into that type of music...Trust me, you've got to really be determined to write solo's like that....It's not something you can do by hating the genre.
