Interesting video of Marty and Ron dueling it out a little. Both are playing some crazy licks. Wish it was longer. Hope you guys like it.
Hope to see Ron play his own stuff live one day!

As much of a stylistic god Marty is...
Jarzombek is clearly the superior guitar player. He was basically doing everything everyone else is doing now like 10 years ago.
For me, it's Marty all day long. He can play every style - MELODICALLY! That is the key. Ron can shred some pretty outrageous runs, but they aren't memorable.
For me, it's basically the reverse.Have to agree; Jarzombek may be sick, but his playing is forgettable as crazy shredder #34534985743, whereas I've had countless Friedman licks stuck in my head for weeks.
So was Friedman. I mean, hell, the Cacophony album was '86.As much of a stylistic god Marty is...

Ron did a little of his crazy 12-tone stuff, but it didn't seem like his heart was in it at all. His crowning achievement, solo-wise, IMO is still Rivers Dancing.

I don't remember Cacophony being particularly groundbreaking. Technically impressive, sure, but not musically groundbreaking even within the confines of metal.So was Friedman. I mean, hell, the Cacophony album was '86.
Eh... As said above, different strokes. I love Jarzombek's music and Friedman does nothing for me.
+1 for Rivers Dancing, his solo on that is one of my all-time favorites.

The first time i heard that song I was so floored. Our band just sat around listening to it for a little while. What I want is a Bobby and Ronny album with Malone on bass+1 for Rivers Dancing, his solo on that is one of my all-time favorites.
