There’s a certain triumphant feeling in a proper homecoming, when you’ve had success in your world travels. Marty Friedman hasn’t toured the US since 2003, but he’s been living it up in Japan, where he is worshipped (rightfully so) as a god. He is also a television celebrity there, appearing on all 5 major networks regularly.
But now he is coming back for a 21-date US (and Canada) tour, supported by neo-shred-thrash masters Exmortus. And who better to sponsor an exultant return of the master than your friendly neighborhood Gear Gods?
Tickets and VIP packages go on sale this coming Friday at 10 am
