Jason Becker - Rain

[ipodyannick]

can anyone get me this sound on amplitube??????

[JohnKulo]

Yes, Jason! He wants to play guitar so much he's kicking ALS's ass! You go Jason!

[jimmyleppard6]

Jason Becker is the special one, not jose mourinho

[Jagguar20]

@jimmyleppard6 Hahaha Real Madrid's coach?

[jimmyleppard6]

@Jagguar20 yeah :D what an asshole.

[plangentmusic]

Glorious. The man is not only is a great guitarist, he transcends music.

[TheEmmaTempest]

this is so beautifuuuuuul, jason i love you!

[ShreddinThrash]

what time signature is this in? the song confuses me when i try to play it :( lol

[ZOMFG102]

@ShreddinThrash 3/4 in Amajor

[ShreddinThrash]

@ZOMFG102 why thank you :)

[rifewithfear]

i love how in the tags it has "best song ever"

[7Saburo]

Jason is pure magic, what a beautiful music he makes

[ColorIce09]

Absolutely incredible, inspiring, so creative, so lovely. thank u baby Jason!!

[levitabusman]

I hope he can recover even if it's so he can talk or just move slightly! I love the dude!

[AshuraDios]

beatiful song!!! It´s Nice

[theantfish]

i wish they had a way to transplant muscles , i would donate in a minute,just to hear more greatness again ,and im a guitar player myself, id still do it

[antimatter07]

is it wrong to cry?? :(

[nononsenseinrational]

@antimatter07 I cry too, but only to that song and altitudes. Don't take my word for it but i guess it's Ok to cry to good music. (Any other occasion you got to tough as Chuck Norris.)

[antimatter07]

@nononsenseinrational i dont cry at altitudes.. maybe thats because ppl have different kind of emotions.. and i find this song really touching..

[nononsenseinrational]

@antimatter07 That song is indeed a great song. I think what makes altitudes so sad to me is that it is the first song yhat I heard from jason. I tought it was the best song that i had ever heard (I still beleive it to this day). Then, My friend told me rigth after the song what happened to Jason. Being a guitar player myself, I can only imagine what it is like.

[Mindmodder]

UTTER SHIT!!!

[antimatter07]

ill sell my soul just to see jason play live one more time!!

[123satanic321]

this song is amazing, i really hope jason gets better. This song is just fucking touching man

[antimatter07]

sounds great with the song

rainymoodDOTcom

[MrJadefalcon]

Thats really good to hear that someone fully recovered and that hes regaining some muscles :D

[LaydiNite]

This is beautiful! There's a wonderful element of quiet energy to this song. The theme of rain fits, because the song reminds me of that subtle tension in the air right before a storm hits. To me it's an exhilerating feeling.

[guitarotaku]

この曲大好き。

[XavSch]

this is the sound chuck norris makes when he's about to have an orgasm

[bodhisatta1388]

Jason is the most inspiring person I've ever encountered, and damn is his music beautiful.

[sleazebee]

crazy...i just put this on and saw a thistle fly by my window :) love this song...

[appel94]

i used to know 4 music geniuses: wolfgang amadeus mozart, johan sebastian bach, ludwig van beethoven, and paul mccartney... now i know 5



[ubershredder1989]

anal gape

[TSchellhous]

"I actually wrote this on a rainy day, otherwise, I would have called it 'Cry.' I wasn't necessarily sad, but feeling emotional for the suffering people in the world. My guitar is honestly crying. You can hear it. I recorded it at my friend/producer Mike Bemesdorfer's home the first time we met in 1988. Then Dan Alvarez did all of the surrounding music, based loosely on my simple keyboard part."

- Jason Becker's introduction to this song on his website

[TSchellhous]

Would you guys get it straight?! Jason himself plays this song, as well as "Blue", "Primal", "Empire", and "Meet Me in the Morning", he says so himself on his website forums, not to mention in the liner notes for the album "Perspectives", while the other songs were recorded by a few friends of Jason's, including MLF.

[AstraVex]

1 Person has no soul, no heart and no sense of wonder.

[alexisd3]

Is there anyone who has recovered from ALS?

[ShinOnigashima]

@alexisd3

Nope, not anyone documented up do date.... unfortunately u.u

[appel94]

@ShinOnigashima this man must be the exeption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rablaa1]

@ShinOnigashima I read on Jason's website that he recovered 3 muscles, maybe he will recover more and will come back to normal. He sais that one woman had complete recovered . you can read more on his website.

[ShinOnigashima]

@rablaa1

Yes, he has recovered already three muscles, and that his condition is getting better, And I just read about that woman who recovered completely... so yeah, JASON WILL RECOVER NO MATTER WHAT!

[jimmyleppard6]

@ShinOnigashima really? I didn't know that. GO JASON !!!! I always knew he won't let it take control of him.

[antimatter07]

@ShinOnigashima i swear ill bite of my own balls when jason is fully healthy again!!!!

[ShinOnigashima]

@antimatter07

You said that in a good way? lol

[antimatter07]

@ShinOnigashima yes in a good way lol...

[VideoMask93]

@ShinOnigashima Wait, what? He's recovering?

[GuitarIsMyCrack]

@rablaa1 So happy to hear the news made my day! :)

[rablaa1]

@GuitarIsMyCrack :) 

[MonsterMetalMusic]

@rablaa1 Where'd you read that? I looked through the site but couldn't seem to find anything about him recovering muscles. God I hope he recovers them all though, but I don't think a full recovery is possible with ALS with out current medical equipment and abilities :(

[MonsterMetalMusic]

@rablaa1 never mind, I just found the part about him recovering. Its amazing, I wonder if h'ell ever recover to the point where he can play the guitar again.

[rablaa1]

@MonsterMetalMusic i hope so

[guitarfreak23397]

@MonsterMetalMusic probably not. medicine is too slow. but it would be so cool if he would. it would take him years to recover his technuiqe on guitar. but lets hope he does.

[DennChooch]

@guitarfreak23397 I'd pay to hear him play a friggin' G chord for an hour and a half. It's Jason Becker! My hero.

[speedtomas]

@rablaa1 I hope a miracle happens and he recovers, that day I would cry of happiness.



[angrytroll27]

@rablaa1 thats awesome to hear, do you remember where abouts on his website that said that??

[svenzia]

@rablaa1 I wish it to be so. Becker for ever.

[ryudragon12]

@alexisd3 yeah man i can remember a woman(cant remember the name) who had Als for 3 or 5 years(maybe more or less) but she is okay now i think Jason knows that woman

[Dtyler171]

@alexisd3

Evy McDonald is one of the very few people to have recovered from ALS.

[corraleshonduras1]

@alexisd3 theres only one documented case of als recovery i saw it on a jason becker video wich stated that person gave hope to jb cause it was possible to recover from als.

[DRUMPROGRESS]

@alexisd3 no but he still alive and make awesome music for us¡¡

[gunskitallica]

hey u 1 fool ' thumbs down' isnot download button

[Crazystraws123]

We witnessed one of Gods gifts! Appreciate it....

[ThrashIsBack123]

love and peace everyone

[Lespaul09MKN]

You can truly hear the guitar cry in this.

Your the man Jason!!!

[ThrashIsBack123]

words cant even begin to describe...

[blazerrips91]

This music us just transcendent :')

[thomykosta]

WHO DISLIKE THE VIDEO BURN IN HELLL JASON I LOVE YOUUUU 

[MrSpecre]

You can feel the energy of man who physically has none , but in musical sense he is realy a god ...

[DanielReisGuitar]

Inacreditável, Jason Backer! Um dos maiores gênios da história da guitarra!

[sharkymetal6782]

QUE MELODIA TAN MAGICA GRACIAS BECKER POR REGALARNOS PARTE DE SU EPIRITU EN CADA TEMA ES MI EJEMPLO A SEGUIR POR ESO NO ME RENDIRE ANTE NADA......

[CyValkarion]

Immaculate

[classic2583]

Jason Becker actually plays this track. He recorded it with Danny Alvarez on keyboard. 

[toto090369]

@23Dunkelheit

Superbe mélodie.

Et dire que c'est note à note que cet album a été composé. Dans les conditions que l'on sait. Incroyable. Magnifique

[MetalReaperDanielR]

this is...beautiful!

[MrSuperstarsi]

I pray for the person that disliked this, because they are going to live through their life never knowing what music really is, they will never live a happy life...

[MrRuggo]

@MrSuperstarsi You do realize praying is useless, dont you? I mean, Ive seen people pray every day, didnt help them. ;)

[delavg]

@MrRuggo yeah mister God is a nasty man

[nestorlovesguitar]

@MrSuperstarsi oh, please shut the fuck up, you fag. Stop thinking your worldview is the right and beautiful one. I personally love Jason's music, but if I came across somebody who doesn't like him I wouldn't say such enormous, elitist statements like "oh, well you'll never live a happy life" He simply has an opinion/taste different than mine. What a fucking elitist fag you are and all the morons that agreed with you.

[DeepSabbath1]

@MrSuperstarsi dude, that was my old account by accident. Swear to ya. no one can dislike this

[molomix23]

its just like a beautiful melody that all spirits can swim through like a clean vast ocean

[LiK3aMONK3Y]

@molomix23 wow :) 

[veguixor]

@molomix23 i felt the same thing bro

it's difficult to describe with words

[rallyivan1234]

That plays this track is Joe Satriani



[ShinOnigashima]

@rallyivan1234

No entendi che...

[rallyivan1234]

@ShinOnigashima que el que toca la viola en este tema no es Becker sino Satriani

[ShinOnigashima]

@rallyivan1234

Emm, nope. El que toca la viola es Michael Lee Firkins, Satriani no colaboro en este album. La otra guitarra fue Steve Hunter.

[rallyivan1234]

@ShinOnigashima Mira, yo me descargue su último album (Collection) en cual tocan una buena selección de guitarristas como satriani, Vai, Friedman, Hunter, Howe, etc. bueno yo pensaba porque como viste que el no puede tocar debido su discapacidad (Dios lo proteja) en el primer tema del disco comienza con esta canción y yo decía que era Satriani por el sonido y por la forma de tocar o capaz que estoy errado o del mismo disco escuchá Images que ahí te das cuenta que toca vai, saludos...

[djziggurat]

Satriani no puede tocar asi.

Jason tenia la tristessa de tener als, pues, comencando, poor jason.

[yacoelsalmon87]

@rallyivan1234 CLARO... EN ESA EPOCA JASON YA ESTABA POSTRADO (TERMINO DE COMPONER ESTE TEMA YA INMOVILIZADO POR SU ENFERMEDAD)... SI HOY ESTUVIERA SANO ESTE SIN DUDAS SERIA EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DEL MUNDO!!!

[rallyivan1234]

@yacoelsalmon87 Que no te quede la más mínima duda, ah hay un videoclip de Jason ya en silla de ruedas y con Michael Lee Firkins en guitarra no sé si lo viste, se llama "The End of the Beginning"

[yacoelsalmon87]

@rallyivan1234 si creo que los vi a todos!!!!! del único tema que no encontré un vídeo es de life and death... el disco perspective es de lo mejor que escuche en mi vida, gracias a becker aprendí a amar los discos instrumentales. te recomiendo que escuches "colma" de buckethead amigo.

[rallyivan1234]

@yacoelsalmon87 hablando de buckethead, he vista un video de youtube (Jaosn Becker vs Buckethead) que ya se borró, sinceramente Jason gana por feeling el otro, no me gustó

[yacoelsalmon87]

@rallyivan1234 sinceramente no lo vi, pero no existe competencia alguna entre los dos. el disco que te recomiendo de bucket es muy bueno por que si diferencia de todos los demas que saco, el tema con bucket es que pasa por muchos géneros que a mi no me gustan como el trash, pero colma en especial es un disco sin desperdicios... pero becker, ray vaughan y el señor satriani no tienen discos que me hayan parecidos malos o regulares simplemente son dioses jajajaj..

[rallyivan1234]

@yacoelsalmon87 yo empezé a escuchar a stevie a los 8 años, te digo algo que te parezca iónico, el dico que más me gusta de David Lee Roth es en el que está con Jason Becker, prefiero más a ese disco que los otros donde aparecen Vai, es muy malabarista Vai, y Jason es... bueno lo dejo a tu criteio, escucha drop in the bucket

[rallyivan1234]

ah si me das a elegir entre satriani y vai yo eligo a satriani

[yacoelsalmon87]

@rallyivan1234 pero eso no se discute!!! vai es aprendiz de satriani, y con tan solo ver el g3 te das cuenta que la tecnica de satriani es impecable, mientras que vai es como vos decis malabarista... estamos de acuerdo en casi todo lo que dices!

[rallyivan1234]

@yacoelsalmon87 yo también me alegro que hayamos coincidido :-D

[nikitofin]

@ShinOnigashima dice que el que toca este tema es joe satriani, pero me parece que no.

[JasonBecker85]

@rallyivan1234 Is Michael Lee Firkins....not Satriani...

[CyValkarion]

@JasonBecker85 You got it. Only Michael Lee Firkins can get this fantastic tone.

[liamako]

@JasonBecker85 its actually Jason Becker playing on this, he recorded it in 1988.

[xdieromanticx212]

irs amazing this man has ALS and has no use of his body at all and still can compose great music

[ShinOnigashima]

@xdieromanticx212

Actually, this is before his body got useless, he still had some movement left.

[runescapeia]

Excellent! I've looked all over youtube for this song! I've only been able to watch the cover. Thanks so much for uploading this.

[ShinOnigashima]

@runescapeia

No problem man!!
