The next time anyone says 'Man i'm having a crap day!!!' or "Boy my life sucks!!" needs to watch this !!!!
word
You said it.
who is the music deaf, heartless bastard who disliked this vid? what an inspiration and brave person Jason is.
Just think: Besides not being able to move, he also can never eat or drink again for the rest of his life because he can't swallow. If he drinks or eats he could choke to death, he also can't breathe through his nose so he can never smell. His food gets pumped into his stomach through a tube in his side and his air gets pumped into his lungs through his throat. My cousin died of this. He was diagnosed and died in the span of 2 years, it was absolutely the worst nightmare you could possibly imagine. You basically turn into a brain with eyes.
I knew he was a legendary guitar player but, had no idea he was still alive and fighting this disease. It breaks my heart to see him like this but then at the same time, it gives me so much strength seeing him survive all this and still going. Inspirational man!
He's my hero

what a legend , never give up doing what you like ..ever no matter what
This brought a tear to my eye. I have to see this documentary. Jason Becker is one of my guitar heroes along with Jimi Hendrix and John Petrucci. It's crazy that life can take such a turn and strip everything away from you in an instant.
My God......My heart just aches when I Look at him. I know and seen him play when he was young. He reminded me of Paul Gilbert sooooooo much. I wish you the very best Jason.....always. May Jesus always be by your side....
Jason, you're the man. Hopefully will heal and we believe it. Jason we love you, and you are my inspiration ...
Jason, you have always been my inspiration,I started playing guitar and music when I was just 9 yrs old. Some many years back, now I'm 40 and ever time I start getting frustrated with things or a new song or even life, I think about you and it gives me more strength to forge ahead. I can't speak for everyone,but you are an inspiration to me..... :-))
Jason, you're the man. Hopefully will heal and we believe it. Jason we love you, we still here.
greetings from turkey
Jason is such a strong person...everybody's weeping except himself. He has never lost his will to live and humor. Great great man...and musician!
This man should be an example to all of us who struggle with life.
What an amazing guy
I literally have tears in my eyes
i agree i have been playing for 30 yrs now and have always said that jason was the one guitar player that would have taken the world by storm i will always love him and what he has done may you never be forgoten jason
This is Love , just love . When life does that , and he decides to keep going .
Jason , you are the proof of how we don’t have to give up of our dreams and what we really love . I don’t have words enough to say all I wish , but I just gotta say... When your life gets over , when this stops you like the rest of us ... You’re going to live with freedom and find out the reason you got stopped . And I’m sure this happened to u because u were prepared to inspiring through something like that . But your life will live forever . Guess u already found the answer inside u . Thank u . I’m a guitarist , musician btw, and you made me emocional and happy by discovering you story today .
I didnt know what he was suffering through till right now.
I got to know about his condition and found this video. I'm in tears right now.
Get well soon Jason.. :'(
Thank you for this wonderful feature on such a beautiful human being who can still manage a sense of humor and make us all smile. I hold back tears. Life is so unfair.. Jason Rocks!
Jason Becker, even when he was first starting out, was already better than 99% of the guitar players on the planet, and he was still so young! I can't even imagine how good he would have been in 2012. He'd probably be so good now he'd just have to look at a guitar and it would just spontaneously combust right there on the spot!
The man is a figher, and his Collection album was fantastic!
His smile makes me happy
I make sure all my students know who jason is and his music.. just to show them not only the beauty in it but also to not take things for granted. can't wait to see the movie
Jason, my prayer's are with you, what a sad thing ALS is a horrible fate. But you are amazing and your music will live in our heart's forever and so will you...
Jason Becker is the living proof that everything on this world if you want and work every dream came thrue In the momments of depression and other bad feelings about everything we must to watch this video again and again because he is the fighter His life is hard but happines is still in him through the end .Thank you Jason for everything you inspired me and show me how the life and world can be beautiful .First time when i saw and read your story i cried but now i practicing and work all day
Best guitarist ever! Amazing composer!
Jason Becker
Musical Genius- Inspiration to All
Truer words could not have been said.
Jason Becker is a wonderful role model, he reminds us that we must continue to face adversity and overcome the odds. The man is incredible.
You inspire me Jason Becker, your talent and musicianship will always be remembered, but your spirit and dignity is something , I hope we all will think of you and your story. God bless you!
This is terribly moving. Jason you 're just pure love. That is all I can say. I love you
May God bless you sir
Jason is still the man. Wicked sense of humour too despite such a world shattering condition. If I was granted one wish in life, it would be for Jason to get better.
your such an inspiration to everyone!!
Fuck how much this humble guy missed out on. Being at the doorstep of ruling the guitarworld and having it all taken away. I know a few other examples of similar situations. Being unaware of Jasons case I found myself crying at times during the movie. A beautiful family and this totally ads up to my opinion that life in the world we live in at 2013 has a lot more to offer than ranting on internet and working to make money to consume. Jason your whole life is the inspiration. Big hug ;)
I love the Jason Becker music
This is great! This really brought some feelings.
Jason Becker is great inspiration! Even if i would never be able to be as good and fast,
he would always be the reason why i started practicing guitar :)
Jason Becker.. I first listened to his music in '89.. Such a gifted musician, No doubt he would have taken the world by storm. He already shook it =-)
what a awsome person he still is i loved the movie i watched it 3 times since it released
I am honestly beyond words....... SO INSPIRATIONAL.
As badly as he was robbed he's still upbeat and funny, very special person.
Made me smile all the way through, so inspirational to me... helps me always put life in perspective
that man is such an inspiration! so much respect for him.
the greatest guitarist to ever live.
I got to meet him a few times back in the day and see cacophony with about 20 people in the crowd.... it's was pretty amazing...
i almost cried :((
Couple things on his translator: She has been doing it for years and knows his thought patterns well. However, she does guess a lot trying to finish words and sentences for him because is a tedious and time consuming process to converse at length with Jason. I cut out a lot of Jason spelling his words and cut in the audio of his translator quicker than normal to keep the viewers attention. Jason's skills and ability to adapt his communication is totally amazing but also very heart braking!
lovely family
when i went to see this docu... everyone cried it was kind of touching
im lost for words
If I wish for a miracle, just fer one godamn miracle...please bring Jason back on his feet again and shred like he used to. Amen \m/
TO ALL VIEWERS PAST AND PRESENT - Thanks for watching and taking time to comment on the video. It was truly an honor to meet him and to be invited into his home with BAM Magazine.com for this interview. ALS is horrible. let's not forget the absolute mental devastation endured over Jason's years as his illness progressed and how hard it must be to live in a totally paralyzed body, but your mind is unaffected. Please be grateful for something as simple as using your mouse to scroll, Jason cant
Jason Becker - You're awesome man, truly awesome.
Jason Becker is amazing and his dad is a fucking hero
Hello,
I'm a french writer and I discovered Jason Becker in 2009. I discovered ALS at the same time and then I planed to write about him and this awful desease. Then something totaly weird happened. In 2011, my mum got the first symptoms of this ALS and I knew from the very beginning how it was and what she will have to endure... She passed away last january and now, more than ever I want to talk about this desease. And as you said, tell the people to enjoy every single they can do...
tears, tears tears
hope this movie comes up to CANADA ! you are AMAZING jAsoN !!! love you bro !
Que gran persona y músico...mis respetos a Jason Becker...
What a great person and musician...all my respects to Jason Becker...you're now my hero!
Dude, seriously! AND James Murphy... AND Randy Rhodes... AND Cliff Burton... jeez, being a guitarist is a dangerous gig! Oh well I ain't stopping, ever. But they need to cure ALS already this is bullshit. Jason is an amazing person for staying so positive during this, he deserves to be cured!!!
onw of my absolute biggest influences in playing, Serrana is such a wonderfull arrangement, full six string swept stacked maj triad arpeggios, maj 3rd intervals bouncing about the mid section
what are the chances the greatest player alive would get this disease? And yes, he was the greatest alive before he got the disease, and just imagine how good he would be by now if he wasn't inflicted. but at least he's still making music!
dios todo poderoso ayuda a jason becker a levantarse de esa silla ese es mi gran sueño escuchar su guitarra nuevamente te lo pido dios
jason is a genius, can't wait to see the film
What an inspiration!
I cant wait to see this film. Jason is a god among men
touched beyond belief
i could not stop weeping tears watching this. Fucking ALS....
What a doll.... !
It's called "Primal", it's the first track of the album "Perspective"
Wonderful video. I love you, Jason.
muy conmovedor, es imposible evitar q no se t hago un nudo en la garganta ver las imagines tan impactante, es casi surrealista verlo postrado en una cama con un respirador artificial, pero alentador a ver su ganas de vivir y de seguir haciendo buena musica!!
Very moving story.
I really hate to see a young talented guitarist succumbs to a disease slowly eating away his life and his music.... dude you are now my new guitar legends ill be listening to ur music from here on end... thanks bro
And a big thank you for posting this video..
warm regards from a fan..from India
"Primal" from the Perspective album. Amazing album
this is amazing.
no tengo palabraas solo puedo decir que es Gigante.. quiero veer ..
Wow! This is awesome!
Nice! I'll have to check that out. I hope he finishes a second Disincarnate CD, that would be awesome
I am in love
Such a magnificent person. And.. it may sound gay, but he has great eyes. :D
Writing in the March 2004 issue of the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis & Other Motor Neuron Disorders, investigators at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco reported that the administration of THC both before and after the onset of ALS symptoms staved disease progression and prolonged survival in animals compared to untreated controls
u are the lagend jason
The cool thing about the interpreter is it is a long-time friend of Jason's. When she said "My Cock" while we were doing the interview, my heart stopped...until she started laughing. Jason has a truly amazing sense of humor and isn't shy at all to share it. Thanks soooooo much for watching the video.
2:03,:( sob sob.......we love u jason,keep going
:/ ...que merda de vida...qual é o proposito de acontecer isso com uma pessoa dessas??!!
eu não sei se eu aguentaria...JASON,GUERREIRO !!!
best answer ever hahaha
James Murohy has his own channel!
why this to him..so sad.. people - please dont dislike this video..
have a habit of complaining about everything. Jason Backer serve as an example for us.
It's like when a download reaches 99% then fails then you have to start again, but infinitely more frustrating.
Hi there !Jason is definitively an EXTRAORDINARY musician !
Is someone can tell me the name of the song (and album) startin' at 00'28'' ?
Dude, that is sooooo fucking funny. He does have a prominent chin! Do you know him? He's a great dude.
Resilient.
Was it really necessary to put a sad piano music in the background? No need to generate sympathy, he already does it with who he is.
Keep it on man !
Hello, em, just to make it short, I was planning...Jason's situation is surely a challenge, so I thought It might be rewarding to make a video to him expressing ourselves, fans from all around the world, and to say thank you, for his work, his inspiration...Join on facebook
groups/322202897896918/
I'll leave this here, I think it could be very motivating for him and it could be a great way to make history. Hope you join the group, will be reporting soon...
question : Marshall JCM 900 50W model ?? or 100W model??
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what is the song starting from 1:55 to 2:22 in this trailer?
@Diego La Torre I mean it's terrible what happened to him. No one deserves such a destiny.
Why don't they get same communication machine to him that Steve Hawking does?
Hawking needs at least one finger to use the computer. Jason doesn't have movement in his hands at all as far as I know.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH omfg I couldn't stop laughing. Its even funnier the interpreter had to say it.
What's the tune at 0:28 ?
