Hello Marty, I have not only huge respect for your work as a musician, but also your decision to turn down one of the most influential metal bands of all-time to pursue your own dreams in Japan.
I would like to ask: have you ever thought about writing a book or autobiography? I think that your career-like your guitar work-has been unique and fascinating in its eclecticism.
Also, have you heard the new version of 猛烈宇宙交響曲・第七楽章「無限の愛」 featuring Yngwie Malmsteen? Your playing is totally more melodic, but it's awesome to see that you're setting the bar in J-pop guitar for someone who arguably set the bar in shred guitar.
Finally, Inferno kicks serious ass (and thanks for a vinyl release)! The inclusion of "Undertow" really gives the album some contrast and it's almost X Japan-ish how you put a ballad in a brutally heavy album (the break in Undertow even sounds a bit like "Tears" by X). Rock on!
