Cacophony - Black Cat live in Japan 1989

[PMMOORE]

Only problem here is the singer is shit

[joncitooo]

black caaatttt....so cool....

[1AngryCunt]

the sweeps by J.B @ 1:32 - fucking awesome

[GodsRodoG92]

4:32 wtf was that ??!! xD HAHA

[GodsRodoG92]

Fucking vocals choke on foot long shlong >.< Marty and Jason make it worthwhile x) , oh and marty orgasms to his solos xD ha jk

[lakerdigital]

I cummed.

[TerrorizerGrindspeed]

really cool closeup, love this cameraman

[RediForKing]

wow that's really Cacophony 

[rangersct]

when did ozzy join them lol!!

[joeylodes]

WORST metal scream ever at 3:39 …. followed by the GODS of duel guitars Marty and Jason!! INCREDIBLE!!! just stick a cock in this singer!

[housethegrate]

Goddamn what a fucking caveman knuckledragging pizza singer. Is that Peter Marrino or Dan Bryant? This band probably would have gotten a lot more well-deserved recognition if not for such horrible vocals.

[stevegrierson]

As usual with this kind of stuff : BrilIiant musicianship and god awful songwriting.

[SilviaKs]

@stevegrierson i wouldn't call anything written by marty/jason god awful

[empyreanlc]

3 people messed with the blackcat

[tabotabojayar]

i really want to know what is that jason becker's carvin.... and if it's still available out there...

[theZoftime]

@tabotabojayar you can special order one from carvin, theres none in stock at the moment but they should make one for you if you're buying it lol. It's the ST300C. very shmexy hehe.

[theZoftime]

@tabotabojayar or, at least the closest there is. the trem would need swapped out, and there are a couple of things that point this out as being a discontinued lot. i think its pretty damn close though. tough call, still a nice piece of gear.

[tabotabojayar]

@theZoftime thank you for that info!

[spacejhonny13]

GODS

[MrYngwie88]

those who dont know who jason becker and marty friedman is ahouls be hanged or be deaD

[Morrito4ever]

This video is pure gold

[cheese0tron]

marty picks weird as hell

[voltronsky]

This is what should be the standard for power metal bands today like Hammerfall

[Brun047]

jajaj que caras que hace Jason al principio

[Googopqp]

Even tho I don't like the singer and their lyrics are pretty lame and dumb I would give anything to see Cacophony live, just to see Jason Becker and Marty Friedman play live together!

[GuigasFahd]

jason becker is okay...he is just learning to play guitar again... (it's my wich) xD

[guitarralaraja]

i didnt know that alex webster played in cacophony before than playin in cannibal corpse =P

[MeatFeastJon]

I love this old cacophony stuff. 2 of my favourite players of all time in the same band... Genius!!! So gloriously cheesy too. Don't mess with the black cat ha ha!

[BouncingPandaa]

who's jason?

[gringochucha]

@Prometheus4096 What a load of crap.

[StephenAmundson]

The singer sounds like a drunk truck driver...kinda looks like one too

[ramixnor]

The pickiong hand of Marty is kind of weird hahah, but EFFECTIVE :)

[iusepol]

they play SO effortless and sim to enjoy every second of that!

[johnaiton]

Marty used to be so great!

Nowadays he's regressed so much

[MasterBattor]

Amazing Musicians / Awful Vocals

[cool7840]

@MasterBattor the vocals couldve been much worse whenever i think of cacophony the first thing i think of is the singer lol

[baronsting]

something that the edge from u2 said that has always stuck. It is not how good of a soloist you are its how good of a song writer you are. With out a song and melody its all just a flury of shitty rambling arpeggios and scales and mostly why I dont listen to these guys.

[slayer666metallica]

@baronsting HAHA, and yet the Edge is NOTHING without Delay, for half of his songs and so called "solos" are LOADED with them. That is just my opinion though.

[cerelilqt]

@baronsting You'll find most people who say stuff like that are bad guitarists. Jason Becker said that having complete technical mastery over guitar removes the language barrier in expressing yourself with it.

[cool7840]

@cerelilqt damn jason has a huge nose LOL

[baronsting]

@cerelilqt I am a player of many years and am a Yngwie fan, saw him in 85 on first solo tour, took lessons with satriani before he left S.F. to fame. So I can play, but my point is its sure nice to have good chops and be able to play all those notes but ultimately what people listen to is the feel of the song which comes from the emotional aspect. Too much technical playing is just recalling scales which is boring and that lacks feeling & soul. Yngwie hit a wall too with that repitition-sucks

[cerelilqt]

@baronsting Completely agree with you, I like yngwies first album, but he hasn't attempted anything new, and is still trying to make hair metal with minor scale noodling. Not just shredders like yngwie are guilty of it though, Clapton hasn't tried doing anything new either.

[necrolehad]

vaya alguien q esta de mi lado no que hay varios q se enojan con migo por comentar q es mala la voz

[prisoner56]

they are amazing.. the composition, the teamwork. the great tone, and of course 2 living legends, simply amazing

[Nunez87]

marty! he looks so high :D

[ZanxGuitar]

1.32 wicked sweep from Jason. 384831 notes in 2 seconds! He's a god!

[necrolehad]

bueno la mera neta jason becker y marty friedman son muy chingones pero en lo personal el vocal nunca me latio su voz

[cerelilqt]

Camera man here is fucking awesome lol.

[eerieinhabitants]

haha peter is gooone... but the beginning!

:43 so jason.. and gotta have that maple neck!

[UrbanAssault5150]

wow how lucky these fans are to see Cacophony live man i would kill to be there

[WATERVLOG]

This video is 4 true fans. I think all negative comments should be deleted. FUCK YOU!!!

PS - Can stem cells really help Jason? That would be great!!!

[ramiropohle]

i repeat... there's nothing after cacphony

simple as that

[Varisgante]

the legend...jason becker

the master... marty friedman

[happiness1sawarmgun]

not gonna lie, despite these amazing guitarists the singer is lame

[jasonbecklegend]

The true masters for ever

Becker and Friedman

[chromaticmaster]

I've been jamming for 17 years now and that lick at 3:58 is STILL my favorite...YEAH!!!

[1analist]

fucking dammit ,Best band ever!!!

¡¡¡PLEASE GOD PLEASE HELP JASON TO GET BETTER!!!

These guys were having a fucking great time while playing u know moving making faces they just play so freely and I enjoy that fucking much ; Instead of being a rock while playing like the actual guitarists SO boring

[katsuyamasaurus]

i like turtles :)

[keniakeniakrueger]

this is amazing!

[ChimpinApeEasy]

I showed this vid to one of my friends and told him that in the 90's Steve-O used to be in a band and that Marty is Steve-O. I said that the band broke up because nobody had good taste in music and he couldn't make any money at it. I told him the truth about Jason though.

[Bobbajoowop]

Did he believe you?

[ChimpinApeEasy]

He totally went for it. At the end I could tell that it was just too much for him to process all at once.(he'd never even dreamt that such a band could have ever have existed. Who wouldve) When I had stopped and he was churning through it, but part of him was watching for any sign that I was B.S.ing and his lazy ass'd be free. So I said, See how hes intentionally holding the pick back-asswards just to show how frickin easy it is for him? Nobody else could pull that shit off with just a grin"

[thefragilesands]

lol poor jason getting drowned out by everyone else when he's rocking the hardest....

[Nunez87]

@thefragilesands marty rocks harder than jason in this song. Jason is still awesome, but this is marty's song! (not HIS so to speak, he just feels it more :P)

[TheChineseWarrior]

@thefragilesands

Jason backer is a great guitarist because he is one of the genius guitarist and his guitar scale in many arpegios emphasize uniqueness. Maybe I do not know, but Jason Backer in evaluating the many legends and the magic secret. Some Europeans called him the hand of God. As a result, he has exceptional skills to the public is still wondering how he got the inspiration to produce his songs.

[MyBloodOath]

@thefragilesands

damn bro you and 13 people have some bad ears for music

[EastJunction]

This is bad ASS

[megatallicadeth]

I hate the vocals... seriusly.. every one rocks except that guy...

don't mess with the black cat?? Lmfao

that guy sucks!!

[JMACBIGMACJ]

HAHAHAHAh yeah you would expect a better singer for two of the greatest guitat players in the world

[UrbanAssault5150]

lol they air hump

[aaronamccoy]

these cats look sos pun

[LorKen17021991]

so pun? What does it mean?

[pel666]

I agree, he's a good vocalist but can't get away to think he took a shot of 'hero' too much here....

Combo of Marty and Jason is obviously GODLIKE!!!

[voodoochild12889]

i guess after listening to cacophony so much ive become to think peter marino is a decently good singer..

[LorKen17021991]

Everybody of the Band rocks totaly....Jason, Marty, Peter, Jimmy and Kenny...

[plankboi]

This is why David Lee Roths "Little Aint Enuf" was kick ass and way better than any Steve Vai song and this is why Megadeth sucks now. Well ok Risk sucked, but Marty kinda went psycho I think around that time lol Either way 2 amazing guitarists. Hands down the 2 best as far as I'm concerned.

[kingv911]

Best vocals at 3:43. That dude better be a vocal coach cuz he's got talent!

[Shamanix708]

lmfaooooo that part had me cracking up for a while

[j3osh1990]

singer looks like a fat retard haha

[DougFCKNSteele]

don't waste your fingers dude, negative youtube comments are for lazy couch potatoes who do fuck all. At least you were nice enough to stick the mic in the crowd and let other people try and hit the geoff tate bullshit.

[gnarlyismymiddlename]

I like how they are that smashed and can still play guitar so amazing.

[sk8in2005]

the two best guitarists that ever lived

and whoever says herman li or buckethead is better they must suck some cock on the weekend

[wurstmetal007oink]

What have Marty for a guitar???!!

[Bobbajoowop]

Carvin V220.

[eyeprod]

the intro is really cool, but the song leaves something to be desired. That singer is annoying too

[gnarlyismymiddlename]

The song is perfectly fine, but the singer ruins it with his wretched voice.

[twasco]

is it me or does the singer look like samwise gamgee from lord of the rings?haha

[Bobbajoowop]

The thing I don't understand, is that he can hit notes higher than the ones he can't hit... just goes to show... he needs to die.

[CynicalSpheres]

hahaha fuck the singer is so funny

[wurstmetal007oink]

wow two of the best guitar gods !

[metaljr72]

Singer looks like Ozzy circa bark at the moon- the ultimate sin era!

[OrcoPorco]

only 21 y old...

[titobmx]

fuckin awesome!!!! marty it's good, but jason is better!!!

speed metal symphony!!!

[Spacca189]

gods

[encguitarist]

this video almost made me cry. they are just so dam good at guitar

[tmh1717]

damn the singer looks fucken faded as hell

[VGJ8]

The best guitar duo in history!!

[senescencia]

and the kids in the public, are good kids, they looks like worker kids, effort japanese kids, not like the reggaeton kids of the actually!, what a wonderful time this!!!, guitar everywhere!!!

[slayer666metallica]

i don't know why everybody rags on the singer, i mean i seriously don't think he's that BAD.. haah, i think he looks kind of uhh.... idk, like a lush ? hahah.. idk... but in terms of singing i never thought he was HORRIBLE like most people say..

[senescencia]

this singer has more voice than the second singer... oh man, i miss very much to this band!!!, we need bands like this in the fucking world, this is really music and art!!!

[edwin310x3]

fuck man i hate that vocalist so much !!

but the music is good....really good lol

[Jaffthrash86]

Yeah he looks like Ozzy in his early 80s days, and sounds ten times worse!

[Jaffthrash86]

Look at Friedman-san's face at 1.28, he's loving it.

[metaljr72]

Gotta love those Carvin Guitars!

[Slesar79]

Jason is God!

[mercurio320]

Great Band , Great Duel , JM... Awesome at 3:59

[gnarlyismymiddlename]

Jason and Marty are so good. Too bad ALS is basically a death sentence. Poor Jason

the singer should die!

[PLaYaXtra480]

its kinda like marty learned how to un-play the guitar from cacophony

[Adrianism1]

yeah haha

[TheGuv123]

What happened to the very end of this song? It's not here.

[jhinson411]

Sounds like they played totally dry live yes yes? Amazing how they pull this music off with no crutches of high gain delay reverb etc. The singer should die.

[024764]

haha i love how u threw in the singer should die lol

[TheTonberries]

i lol'd as well, he should have jason's disease not jason.

[jose044]

AMEN!

[Mechanix666]

Marty just isn't the same nowadays.

[TripSnowmen]

who the fuck is this singer my lil sis could sing a rock song better than this fat pig bitch

[cacophonybecker]

peter marrino

fat homo cant sing

[mnunezper]

seee y pensar q becker tenia como 18 años cuando grabo este video...

q cagada lo de su enfermedad

[KornSOAD]

the singer even sounded like shit on the records.

[PUENTEYUCACAMOTE]

que genial!

[ubershredder1989]

the only good thing about cacophony was the singer, the guitar stuff was mediocre. listen to bb king if you want sum badass sweep picking...

[420blazejuggalo]

plz tell me u are joking man

[ubershredder1989]

course i am lol. they shud've stuck to instrumental bizzle

[superbigoneunic]

Holy shit..

[artha5]

LOL, xD, i love BBking, but when you said sweep picking i was like, wTF??????

[ultimateguitarfish]

hahahahahaahahahahahahahah! stupid

[Frankieyh]

Awesome guitarplay. Marty and Jason are fucking awesome. I too, hope that Jason recovers from his tragic disease :'(

...From what i can hear from the bassists backingsinging, i would say he does better than than the actual singer xD

[BytheWayrocks]

The bassist used to be my bass instructor, he's a cool dude.

[mnunezper]

=o!!!

[babboy6789]

did u know that A7X stole this solo well part of it and used it in bat country? they also stole guns in roses civil war for sieze the day any guitarest would recognize the riffs of becker

[654321654321]

the intro is amazing!!!

estos guitarristas eran geniales.

[ultraparanoia]

A great guitar duo held back by one of the worst singers I have heard.

[scaritu]

los movimientos fletos de los guitarristas

[guitarhero41192]

i think they singer kept them back from being one of the most influential bands to bad that only true musicians know about cacophony

[steveplaysbass]

The ugliest frontman in the history of frontmen

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

Boring? Coming from an Avenged Sevenfold fan, I hope that's a joke.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

A7X sucks, don't ever let me hear you compare shit like that to Cacophony or I'll hang you by your umbilical cord..

[a7xbhsuxnutz]

my name is a7x/buckethead sux nutz actually.

but id rather listen to a7x over this shit.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

stop trying so hard. you sad little angry reject loser shit.

aww, needa go cry and cut yourself?

kk breaktime. cut cut. moan moan.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

I believe the scientific term is troll, and you are trolling.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

i killed your whore of a mother, she's in my trunk.

if you don't want this to happen to the rest of your family, SHUT THE FUCK UP. syn gates sucks ass lollololol.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

dude. seriously. this joke is over.

[eatingyourbreadcrust]

uhm. jason was 20 in this video. syn sucks ass you pathetic reject tool. i'm glad the rev faggot died, one less shitty drummer :)

[hugopereira14]

@a7xbhsuxnutz syn can suck my dick.he's one of the most homossexual guitarrists i have ever seen.he can't make a good solo even if his life was at stake.

[PanchoGuitar01]

@a7xbhsuxnutz then what the fuck are you doing watching this video? xD get a life man..

[speedwagon1213]

yea really. How can two guitarists like that not get a decent singer. Whatever once you discover their music you realize how great they were

[zaratustrav]

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH MICKEY MOUSE?XD,i just can stop laugh when i see jason with this fucking mickey shirt or pin, jajajaj,

JASON BECKER=GOD eres un chucha!

[Pilgrimage85]

lol always breaking the vocalists balls:D IN JAP land they loved it

[Residentevilgal]

i doubt that they didnt go far because of the singer, they were out at the ass end of the hey day of this music, had they broke out a few years later they would have been sucessful, but then marty wouldnt have been in megadeth.

[ToxikWaltz]

I don't think you will get any arguments on how shit the singer is. Im pretty sure if they had someone better like Carl Albert or someone of his style of singing, they would have gone much further.

Marty and Jason are amazing

[nathantim]

what the fuck were they thinking when they hired that piece of shit singer...cacophony is my fav dual guitar shred band and this singer is just awful...i always fast forward when he starts singing and stop right when he stops cause thats usually the best part of the song...like in Savage and The Ninja...both totally brilliant songs then BAM, shitting singing

[Dazsturbed]

Yep the singer is totaly shit

[danswayze]

Ya everyone in cacophony was amazing, except marino, I don't see why they never got a better singer...

[xMOSSIx]

Jason hasn't updated his blog since June... :(

[aryinc]

since june 1991?.he isnt the fastest these days anymore.

[splat66]

I completely agree!

[franfender]

but man, I'm so fucking sad cause we can't see more of this couple of monsters together again... fuck!

[franfender]

yeah yeah, jason is the fucking master of speed and the most awesome sweep-arpegios are from him, BUT!!!, MARTY HAVE THE MOST HARD TECNIQUE, AND IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE GUITARRISt IN THE HOLD WORLD, you can learn some sweep arpegios in a couple of monts, but, you can with a friedman phrasing?

[Tarkus88]

just fucking watch those arpeggios Jason pull offs at 4:25. What a shame, shred guitar will never be the same as in the 80's, nowadats the so-called shred guitar is dragonforce-like shit, that's just fucking sad

[shredmaster88]

yeah man right after Go Off they split. I never liked Kenny Stravapolous, Deen Castronova pwns him.

[DECAYlive]

no youre not, they split in like 89'

Im seeing these guys live in a couple weeks
