But most of my friends speak better English than I do (laughs). COM: No, but English is not my first language, and speaking it has given me the opportunity to work with you, as well as other people, so I kind of know what you mean. Have you ever learned a foreign language in school, and then gone on a field trip or something to a place where you can actually use it? Why is it such a big part of your activities in Japan? Were you always interested in doing TV? COM: Your television career in Japan has always puzzled me.
MARTY FRIEDMAN METAL CLONE X TV
I host a worldwide show on NHK World called Asia Music Network, which is fun and I do several non music related TV shows as well. (laughs) Doing lots of TV stuff this year also made for a great change of pace from recording. Since that another legendary singer came to me for 2 new songs which we completed last month. I wrote and recorded a single for a Japanese superstar named Yashiro Aki, and we made the rounds together playing on several live TV shows. MF: Between the endless “Inferno” sessions, Metal Clone X made its live debut at the Loud Park Festival at the Saitama Super Arena which was cool. COM: Any other highlights of 2013 for you? The content was pretty overwhelming now that I look back on it. I was glad that the 3 projects were so different that it was easy to separate my brain and concentrate on each one separately though. It seemed like I constantly had a guitar in my hands. I also wound up writing and recording an entirely new album for my side project Metal Clone X as well as recording an album of “guitar remixes” of the first Metal Clone X album. I knew going into 2013 that I would spend most of the time completing “Inferno”. MF: Not strange, but not as easy to do as I thought. I got to play Budokan a couple times and a bunch of other places all over the country, but no touring outside of Japan this year. I did some shows but all of them were in Japan. MF: The main thing for me this year was that I spent much more time in the studio than usual.
COM: I want to get into some details on your upcoming album, “Inferno”, but before that, please tell me what kind of year 2013 was. Marty Friedman: No problem, nice to talk to you again.
