Robin, he cannot move a muscle and hasn't been able to for years.
I just searched and it said he did the Little Aint Enough album and Joe Holmes finished the tour

I think the harmonies that Friedman and Becker created for the Cacophony album "Speed Metal Symphony" are still today, even with Dragon Farts, some of the most intricate and complicated melodic harmonies ever laid down with an electric guitar. The singer totally blew donkey and the rythym compositions weren't quite up to par with other metal acts of the time but the album is an orgy of harmony guitar runs locked in a double helix of guitar DNA. Friedman's rythym capabilities literally transformed 180 degrees after being with Megadeth. Unfortunately Jason's last album he played on was David Lee Roth's "A Lil aint Enough" but there is stellar guitar work on the album, nothing metal, but flamboyant show tune fashion (DLR's natural element being a krooner) Becker show his versatility on that album.
a side note, I HATE DRAGON FORCE, it's so god damn rediculous. Marty and Jason vaporize the DF clowns, IMO.

You keep asking questions that are SIMPLE to answer with
