Former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman is set to drop his third album of J-pop covers, called TOKYO JUKEBOX 3, on Oct. 21. The album is the follow-up to his previous collection from 9 years ago, and features a wide variety of pop songs both classic and current. The new set includes contemporary numbers such as LiSA’s powerful long-running hit “Gurenge” and Official HIGE DANdism’s “Shukumei,” along with DA PUMP’s recent comeback dance track “U.S.A.,” End of the World’s poignant ballad “Sazanka,” and the pioneering vocaloid hit “Senbonzakura feat. Hatsune Miku.” Some throwback J-pop hits from the ‘90s are included in the playlist as well, such as the late ZARD’s “Makenaide” and Every Little Thing’s “Time goes by.” Friedman’s renditions of these songs feature his virtuoso heavy-metal shredding while also showcasing his prowess as composer and music producer. Fans can get a taste of the album in a short-but-sweet teaser of the Japan-based guitar hero slaying “Gurenge," in which the popular anime opener is given a jaw-droppingly complex twist. The collection’s cover art features Friedman decked up in a striking kimono-like outfit with kabuki-inspired makeup, with his signature long curls done up in an impressive coiffure, visualizing his unique brand of East-meets-West expressed sonically in the 12-song set.

Metallica’s former bass guitarist and founding member, Ron McGovney, celebrated the 59th birthday of Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine by sharing a new post on his official Twitter account.
Ron was the original bass guitarist of the band before he left Metallica in 1983 and replaced by Cliff Burton, and Dave joined the band in 1991 which the band was founded. Additionally, he left the band in the same year with Ron and replaced by Kirk Hammett.
Ron celebrated this special day by sharing a rare-known picture of Dave, which he was sitting on the couch and talking to the phone, and showed his respect to his former bandmate from Metallica.
While celebrating his birthday, Ron also revealed how much he missed Dave in this way. He called out Dave and said that he should call him sometime and have a chat together about their lives.
Here is what Ron McGovney said:
“Happy birthday to my old bandmate Dave Mustaine. Give me a call sometime.”
