The brightest stars burn out the quickest, yet this album will Perpetually Burn.
Poignant and true ... We love you Jason ....
The greatest guitar player who ever lived!! I know. I have been playing for over 40 yrs and I cannot comprehend what this man did on guitar! His brain was wired from birth to play this way. The universe is a complex computer program that often downloads intel like music to the mind of the unborn. Same as other talents. What we think we know is nothing compared to what we don`t know. MASSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC OR SCIENCE IS NOT KNOWN TO US. How can one person have so much knowledge of something? It makes no sense based on our limited understanding of reality. Or is it reality?
More than a genius, a true prodigy.
Think he recorded this at 18 years of age. He really had limitless potential. Such a great loss to music. I’m not ashamed to admit I get a bit emotional every time I hear Jason play
@southamericanmetalhead6307 no he and marty both made their solo albums in 88. jason did get signed to shrapnel records at 16 and was in cacophony though which is just as impressive.
Jason's dad created a PC program that allowed him to communicate and after 20 years in silence he created an album called Triumphant Hearts
I've heard this track many times and somehow couldn't miss the opportunity to play it once again. It never gets old. Love it!
Becker and Friedman were in a band called Cacophony back in mid-late 80's. Great band, although sounds pretty dated now, but still adored by most guitar nerds.
Crazy thing too is I believe his dad created a technique where Jason would use his eyes to communicate and now that system is widely used for patients that have suffered debilitating strokes and other brain injuries that severely impair a person's ability to speak or move.
Dweller in the Cellar is another classix. And Eleven Blue Egyptians
You have good taste, sir! My two favorite tracks on the album! And I should hasten to add that the whole album is fantastic for people who like neoclassical shred.
i'd vote for eleven blue egyptians, Marty is on it as well.
Air is a masterpiece as well.
Yeah but what about the melodic part of Temple of the Absurd?
Thanks so much for introducing me to Jason Becker, this is amazing. I'd love to see you react to 'Thoughts Like Hammers' by a band called Enslaved. Very interesting blend of prog and metal.
When Jason released his first album "Perpetual Burn" he was 18/19 years old. So after releasing of his first solo album the reaction in guitarists community was epic and it created a hype because very few guitarists at that were capable of playing guitar in that level. And this album and his other albums with his band Cacophony with Marty Friedman also album with David Lee Roth band made him the most critically technical guitarist in the world at that time.
I have read many articles on Jason's musics and life. I found many world famous virtuous guitarists claimed Jason's music are so full of passions and technical difficulties with super rare classical notes and playing these notes takes years to cover them or even come close to cover or play. It's a wonder that Jason could play those notes easily and more nicely. Many guitarists also said no guitarists before Yngwie Malmsteen or after Jason Becker used super rare and difficult classical notes in their songs.
Jason is and always will be the greatest guitar virtuoso and Perpetual Burn is one of the most innovative and brilliant albums of all time that raised the bar for all shred guitarists!!!
You have to check out jason becker - perpetual burn. My fave of his
La sensación que causa la guitarra de Becker es increíble! Es el universo hablandote.
I watched the documentary on Jason couple of years ago. He should have been dead for a long time now, but amazingly he's still hanging on and composing with a computer.
Then to this particular piece of music: I grew up listening to guitar heroes in my adolescence. The speed was the ultimate measure of talent. I listened to Vinnie Moore, Ynwie Malmsteen, Martin Freeman, Joey Taffolla and of course Van Halen, Gary Moore, Steve Vai, Reb Beach, and dozens of others. RUclips is full of these and every bedroom has a shredder. There's only so much you can say with the guitar or any other instrument. A band is the machine, the perfected instrument as a collaboration of individual instruments. As a guitar player for a 38 years now I'm legitimate to say, that we guitar players, we are a bit of a wankers for the sin of considering our selves to be the heart of the band and the breathers of life to the music. And now every one can write their hate male below...
Jason's shred was different in that he totally knew how to write music - a genius composer.
Hate “male” 😂. Can you play better than you spell? Don’t tell me how long you’ve played as if that means you are qualified to dictate opinion. Speed and dexterity take a lot of work that I highly doubt you’ve put in, regardless of 38 years of playing guitar. Don’t argue unless you have evidence of your taste, talent and song writing brilliance. There is absolutely no reason to go out of your way to critique shred guitar in comment sections unless you are jealous and or a lazy player. You could just avoid shred guitar if you wanted to, but you found a Jason Becker reaction video to make comments about this particular style of music. You changed nobody’s opinion with your comments. Did you really listen to “Martin Freeman” and “Ynwie Malmsteen”? Who are those guys? I bet your bedroom doesn’t have a shredder. Absolutely no reason to comment like that on a reaction to a player who was not a bedroom shredder. The video has nothing to do with bedroom shredders. It’s a reaction to an absolutely exceptional musician who wrote and recorded plenty of slower, clean songs as well. I hope I can find some shred guitar videos by this Martin Freeman you spoke of.
@@ToddGillespie1977 Thanks for your counter comment. I do spell Finnish much better than English for a particular reason. About the shredders, I grew up with that music and I don't disapprove about the skill and talent to do that. And no, I don't really have that talent partly due to that laziness, partly because there's many other more interesting things to do in life, than practice guitar an hour after hour (which I did in my adolescence. So no talent, either, I guess...). Have you heard Malmsteen's Marching out? What about the Eclipse? Those are my favourites of his. Then there's Vinnie Moore's Mind's Eye and Dream Theater's Metropolis Pt. 2 Scenes from a Memory. Karmakanic has some awesome music, too, with fabulous guitar playing, and so does Marillion, The Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Riverside, and many more. But the essence is that the shredding is a tool, not the vehicle, if you get what I mean. So, chill out, man, enjoy your music and have awesome 2022!
He and Marty Friedman formed Cacophony in 1986, and stayed together for 3 years, before Friedman joined Megadeth. Although he is immobilized by A.L.S., he still writes music by a system of eye movements. He has a new album out featuring the whose who of modern guitarists on it. There is video of him as a teen playing guitar with one hand, while playing with a yoyo with the other.
Perpetual Burn is phenomenal 😭❤️
I’m sorry that I didn’t actually *watch* the majority of your video. 😔 ...but when Altitudes starts, my soul forces my eyes to close and I’m gone.
Jason Becker spoke through his guitar better than most. This took me back to my youth... in a good way.
Great commentary. :) Thank you. 🙏🏻
Still writes music to this day.. USING HIS EYELIDS!
There is a documentary on him called Not Dead Yet, you can find it here on RUclips. Worth checking out if you like his music. Guaranteed to move you unless you're completely made of stone!
I think he was either 19 or 20 when this album was released. Genius. He still writes music man. Despite his ALS, he just put out an album check it out
Most of it was composed by the time he was 17 (although some material can already be heard in his demos from 15-16), all recorded at 18, released at 19 to be exact. Genius is correct.
Legend!
Hope your well my friend 👊
Just when the keyboard enters.. you remember that trip you are going into..
Love your reaction just because it's same as mine.. even I have heard it a lot, everytime I end it with watered eyes and deep breathing
While you have your headphones on, play 'Air' from the same cd...your head will explode
Jason actually still composes music using his eyes and with the help of his friends recently released an album. If you are interested in him you should watch the movie about him called Jason Becker: not dead yet.
an extraordinary piece of music, who doesn't lyrics to be majestic
It is rather good!
YOU ARE ON A ROLL!!
Baroness - Rays on Pinion
Royal Thunder - Time Machine
Elder - Gemini
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser
I FUUCKING LOVE JASON!!
yep. I liked your Forbidden City reaction. this too.
And to think he was only 17 years old when he recorded this...
They the devil himself was jealous of JASON
If you want to watch it played check out TinaS's cover
Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man
Best song ever , Becker never die
SOUL UNITED OF HEART
The sweep grandmaster
Я лично считаю что “Perpetual Bern” величайший альбом всех времён. Очень жаль что его настигла эта болезнь. Но даже в такой ситуации он пишет хорошую музыку.
Riverside - The Curtain Falls Reality Dream live :)
Good to see you finally react to this song! Thank you. Also, when you react to The Patient by Tool please listen to the version with Eon Blue Apocalypse in front of it! They are the songs that immediately follow The Grudge, which you thought was an amazing song.
Hey Jim! Just want to throw out a suggestion I think might be up your alley: Synaesthesia - Ephemeral. It’s ambient electronic with a lot of tribal drum stuff (not sure if live or samples tbh), done by the guys from Frontline Assembly. It’s been a favorite of mine for years and I think you’d dig it. Not looking for a reaction video, just something to check out on your own. Thanks, and keep the videos coming, good sir!
I love the part of marty friedman!
Not many people reacting to this kind of muisic. No one actually. Supurb piece of music. I can listen to this whole album. Im so glad that theres no vocals. It is timeless without.
Completely agree. With Jason's music you can experience it for the first time every time. It feels the same every time you listen to it like when you first heard it.
Neal morse band please cant find any reactions on you tube. Amazing band that more people should discover. Their last album the similitude of a dream is a masterpiece.
Nice 👍👍
Jim! The new JINJER album is out now. Look out for their song Perennial. It's awesome!
Did anyone ever say how much look alike between you and actor Simon Pegg? The face, the accent.
Blues Pills - High class woman
Witchcraft - The Outcast
Some 70s style rock bands for you to enjoy ;)
Voivod-- "Jack Luminous"!!!
Metal rules !! Fuck the world
Hey Jim!. Got a new Recommendation: "The Pineapple Thief - White Mist". Same Record Label as Steven Wilson. Gavin Harrison is in it. They were on Tour together with Riverside. Couldn't think of anything that would fit this channel better :D
And yes i know you did them before :P but last time like 4 Months ago. felt like we need more of it hehe. Especially White Mist, such an amazing drum track ;)
Yup, I think you're right - we need to revisit Pineapple Thief! Thanks for the "nudge"!
hehe no Problem :) Id recommend as said "White Mist" or "Far Below" these are my favourite tracks if their current Album @@JimNewstead
Sleeps - Holy Mountain
Or
Sleep - Dragonaut
I would love it if you would react to New Day by karnivool
