[Tentacleed]

This is a true spirit of human being, the spirit that carries on despite physical limitation.

[lobitojonathan]

que triste lo de becker como nos hubiese gustado seguirlo viendo tocar de esa forma mounstruosa y componiendo esas verdaderas obras de arte..una baja importantisma para la musica :(

[MrCold012]

you 10 idiots.. do us a favour and go fuckin kill yourselves.. you are wasting our precious air

[MarshallVamp]

Becker = Boss

[MrCrisi18]

es injusto q le pase esto a un hombre con tanto talento



[martialfan36]

can somebody please help me out ? Did Jason Becker go to Alamitos junior high school in Garden Grove. CA. 1982 and 1983 ? if so I know him. Please help

[nine9live5]

@martialfan36 i know he graduated outta kennedy high school

[djmm1397]

we live in a country where john lennon was shot 6 times in the chest and yoko right next to him. 6 bullets and none of them hit her!!! why? haha

[alexisd3]

@MoonMoneyl Dont you have something else to do than to come troll every jason becker video there is you retard?

[1234512345agent]

please who is this song of guitar ?!?! is amazing (sorryy for my english

[HarrowingWinter]

Why do all the good musicians suffer and/or die so early and all the bad musicians continue to live? u_u God doesn't want the good people

[Neoclassic1000]

I worship Jason Becker

He is the best guitarist ever

[peterp21]

ALS is a real bitch of a disease. I remember as a young guitar enthusiast hearing that David Lee Roth's 20 year old guitarist might be ill. Thought, that's a shame and didn't think of it again. Just looked up Becker on Wikipedia and first, I was surprised he was still living and second, sadly not surprised that he had lost all ability to move or speak. But great to hear he's not letting ALS get him down and is still composing music however he can. So good on you, Jason.

[KingofPho75]

why does this happen to good people

[jasontheogre]

i am truly inspired by this guy. i just heard of him today. can't wait to look into his story. i love playing guitar and his playing in just this video alone makes me wonder how i can watch the progression of his voice on the guitar. what band of his should i start with? what was he playing on that blue carvin?.

[MichaelLozano12]

@jasontheogre Not many albums of his but he was in a band with Marty Friedman called Cacophony. He was also David Lee Roths lead guitarist, i forgot which album he was on though, sorry abbout that lol. And hes got one called Perpetual Burn, and Perspectives. I know theres probably allot more, i just recently got into him so i dont know much of his music yet. Listen to his songs "Rain" "River Of Longing" " Altitudes" and " Its Showtime" Those are my favorites =]

[kingv911]

Holy crap that 12 string Strat sounds awesome!

[MakeTeaNotWar0]

is he dead?



[jackmorefx]

@MakeTeaNotWar0 no but he cannot play guitar anymore because of his illness

[deepravine]

This guy is way too one dimensional. Very upsetting guitarist.

[SpiritKnob]

Forget the fact that Jason Becker is still composing for a second. The very fact that he's not given up on life when his lively mind is cocooned inside a lifeless body is humbling.

Makes me feel a little bad for ever grumbling about my problems

[vincentizghra]

I'm still waiting for the day they cure als and he's able to get 100% well again. I can't believe Jasons story, great spirit, great mind, great person. Keep living to the fullest, you're my hero!

[MYTUBEISAPUSSY]

i only got my left hand stiff not able to play GTR, but this is really harder.

espeially if you have been a pro on the top !

[joshlc2003]

Jason Becker is my hero

[lizheng619]

I love him and his music, forever!!

[jasonbeckerfan1]

This made me cry....

[leahcimrac]

Why do the great ones fall early. In fact scrach that. Hes still number 1.

[edwinm1]

is it just me or does he resemble ritchie blackmore with that moostache and beard

[MikeMikeNana]

My theory is Jason was about to surpass god in guitar skills so god got jealous and decided to pull a dick move

[edwinm1]

@MikeMikeNana NONSENSE THATS BLASPHEMY...god was no where near him...lord jason is far above him...infact jason created this "god" (what ever he is) with his supreme picking technique...

[mrshneakyshneaky]

@MikeMikeNana Shut the fuck up

[MikeMikeNana]

@mrshneakyshneaky I'm guessing your some ignorant religious idiot?

[Ety04]

Kiko Loureiro sent me here

[angeletz1]

Love ya!

[lerchfreyley1]

Hail to JASON, and here I was bitching that I had to retune my guitar, and simplify my style after my Carpal surgery......I found this by accident because I thought about CACCOPHONY and looked Jason up and didn't even know he had ALS...it puts my BULLSHIT in perspective doesn't it??!!! Jason is now MY HERO!!!

[666tarin]

nadie puede detener al dios inmovilizado, ni siquiera una maldita enfermedad,

eres grande jason!!!!

[stormbringer902]

Now this guy is truly UNSTOPPABLE.Amazing.

[LagunaLoireLL]

Jason Becker The Force Is The Strongest With This One.

[zooi99]

:'( !! D:

[SpicyDragoon]

What is Michael Lee playing on that 12 string

[mellifiedman23]

Proof positive that real music is in the heart and in the head... Not in the hands.

[kingv911]

Firkins' guitar tone sound awesome - like that 12 string strat.

[digico66]

great...

i love jason sound...

he lives in that songs....

[mazihan]

we missed u jason..

[tabotabojayar]

hey ahh...guys... a jason becker hater posted a shitty video...let's all flag it for spam and post brutal comments on his channel...here it is.... youtube(dot)com(watch?v=ybSTye­UPsCY&feature=related)

[tabotabojayar]

it's tearing my heart..........

[myguitarstyle]

anyone with a soul will feel sad or get a tear when seeing/hearing jason's story. his story is so powerful and really puts into perspective how horrible this disease is.

[DragonForcebest]

how people can watch this video and talk about justin bieber and dicks`?

I just wanna cry when I hear and see this.

[jaymzosborne111]

its fuckin .. . . sad 

[MoonMoney1]

@SlavetoNeffy What troll am I supposed to ignore?

[MoonMoney1]

Jason Becker sucks.

[MoonMoney1]

@guitarnub3 You're*

[MoonMoney1]

[NickSimos]

@MoonMoney1

[3201920]

Jason,Deus tem poder para mudar sua historia,creia somente pois a poder no nome de Jesus.Admiro muito o seu trabalho,voce é simplesmente o melhor...........

[MsEmperor666]

Jason Becker the best

[jamesm5744]

Very talented man who influenced and brought joy to millions, God bless him, although he already did!

[FlyinVJs30RR]

Perpetual is such a good album..sad to see todays generation of "nu metal" kids dont have a clue of who JB is...Jason is such a talented individual

[gingerleyham]

the single most biggest shittest thing that happened to any person in music

[rodolfogomez25]

why him and not Justin bieber??

[Daim0th]

@rodolfogomez25

Shut up. Forever.

[MrMeAndMyVideos]

@rodolfogomez25 I wouldn't wish ASI on anybody

[duendeflamenco87]

@rodolfogomez25 why justin bieber and not you? i would never wish that to anybody

[celtno1]

@duendeflamenco87 You just wished it on him!!!

[Killzor420]

@duendeflamenco87 I dont think he actually wishes that upon him, he just thinks that Jason becker has made the most beautiful music we have ever heard and he suffers in that chair all day. And justin bieber makes such terrible music and he becomes rich and famous for it.. ITS NOT FAIR. Thats what he means, learn how to take a joke.

[duendeflamenco87]

@Killzor420 ok, Becker made the most beautiful music, and your mother cook potatoes......why Becker and not your mom??? hahahahahha....its a joke!!

[Killzor420]

@duendeflamenco87 What? My mom cooks potatoes.... and... they aren't terrible they are delicious. You don't know enough English to understand sarcasm let alone type a sentence. Shut up and listen to Becker you terrible troll.

[duendeflamenco87]

@Killzor420 take it easy child, learn how to take a joke! cheers!

[Killzor420]

@duendeflamenco87 I know, its hilarious when someone doesn't have the common sense to understand English. Your fucking stupid. Go back to grammar school.

[RevizedAZN]

@Killzor420

*You're

[wackyshemp]

@rodolfogomez25 Exactly!!!!!!!

[soommmaa]

who the hell dislikes this wonder????

[Bastman93]

1:48 : Photoshop activated ! ?

Btw: Jason Becker is the most amazing person on planet !

[zsuedram]

I remember Jason when He was with Cacophony he used to rehearse in my building and he was a wonderful person ,I used to sit in the other side of the space they would play in and I was amazed by what I would hear come out of his guitar.I don't know if Jason reads these comments but if he does I would like to hear from him. This is Frank from Classy Chassis zsuedram@yahoo.com

[De1ved]

I can't believe that there is actually people that dislike this video. This man is an inspiration to all and an example everyone should look up too. Best wishes Jason! Keep making beautiful music!

[novagara1]

@ presvis......bullet in the head straight........fuckin' mongoloid retarded..........

[esphorizon]

JB RULES!!

[chickenbeek]

@prescis20

nice, see you in hell buddy

[4everRock666]

@presvis20 c'mon dude, what if you were stuck in a chair for 20+ years?

[Waelghard]

It breaks my heart man....Why is it always that these magic guys have to go through hell....I'll never know...

[trickyfrank]

whats the name of the first song .. i forgot XD

[zetsuboubilly325]

@trickyfrank It's called "rain"

[GabrielDhalaman]

I almost cried,why?Why?

And so many bad or useless people out there...

Why such a person?

God bless him...

He will kick ass more than anyone at the 4th dimension when he leaves this body as he kicked down here in the past

[eddietheheadful]

If Jason Becker was not stricken with the terrible disease he has I am 100% convinced he would today be considered the greatest guitarist in the world. So much passion and talent in his beautiful compositions. Every time I listen to the Perpetual Burn album I end up weeping like a little girl. There is for sure a beautiful studio set on a perfect cloud waiting for Jason Becker in heaven.

[roguemofo8]

so sad to see such a great musician, such talent, and such potential to do even more than what he did, being ended by something like that. keep on rocking jason

[blackcrow6667]

Just imagine where he would have been now.

[Friedman09]

i've seen this video a lot of times

and still felling strange things when i see

jason paralyzed...there's no doubt that

life's so unfair...taking away good things

and bringing back...shit like all that reggaeton

and bieber crap...

[kzrrz]

@Friedman09 Amén, bro.

[stratovariusx100pre]

THANKS JASON!!

GRACIAS POR TU MUSICA, POR LA INSPIRACION QUE NOS DAS A TODOS LOS GUITARRISTAS EN TODO EL MUNDO!!

JASON FOREVER!

[mikhailr0cks]

[sumedhmetal]

sad LOSS TO METAL N MUSIC LOVERS

[osalbaro]

@sumedhmetal Hes not dead bro...

[matineesuxxx]

@osalbaro even so, the fact he cant do it how he once did is sad enough. musicians as talented as he is are very important to the music world

[6Metal6militA6]

the guys paralysed and they give him a mac, have mercy!

[drrampenstein]

Why the fuck would anybody dislike this?

But nontheless, I hope that his documentary ends up getting released.

[thecheif00]

7 people will die in their sleep tonight....

[steliosamk2]

somebody said sometime "Only the good die young"!

Well where the F*** is this guy? I wanna kill him cause he was right!

[danionearth]

we stll loves you jason becker...........xoxoxo

[KehletDK]

Chuck Norris is good, but can he decide wether he wants his skin to look great or not?! 1:48

[katsujinken00]

If you like Jason make a donation for his movie go on jasonbeckermovie (.) (com) and be generous for this wonderfull guitar god!

[katsujinken00]

If you like Jason make a donation for his movie! go on jasonbeckermovie

[narayanrang]

Which is the lead that kicks of 30 seconds ? Thank you.

[thejack1212]

@narayanrang

That would be Rain. I think its off the Perspective album.

[ProShredder]

Life's fucking stupid

[Vomitonthecross]

@ProShredder No, life is a great and wonderful thing, especially with heroes like Jason paving the way. The only people who never struggle are the ones who don't accomplish anything.

[igj0123]

Jason Becker for president!!

[JDMURDERERS]

except for stairs... Im sorry

[youreallcrackheads]

@JDMURDERERS hahaha thats fuked up but funny

[ericgenocidex2]

/watch?v=ZeeVBSERb-c

Dr. Melamede describes the unique role of the body's own Endo-Cannabinoid system as a "homeostatic regulator" keeping numerous body systems in balance - including the immune, digestive, reproductive, cardio-vascular and neuromuscular systems.

"The use of Cannabis has a profound effect in helping to stop nerve degeneration and helping to restore functional nerves".

[assdestroyer666]

@ericgenocidex2 cannabis lives

[Kuzaya123]

someone know what is a name music on 0:13 ??

[ericgenocidex2]

@Kuzaya123 kinda sounds like riffs from, If You Have to Shoot... Shoot-Don't Talk. off raspberry jams album, im not completely sure tho.

[anas6643]

Fuck ! i love him very much.

I will do anything 2 change him with bush !

[liamzuid]

Fuck the 7 guys who don't respect a man who is paralyzed and still is capable of making a complete album.

[damanisdakila]

man thats gay bro hes paralyzed they shouldve paralyzed some child rapist man

[fahim113]

The look in his eyes at 0.50.."right, lets kick some ass..!!" One of the greats!

[KillerMetalHead12344]

Christianity is a load of shit if god was real and he was man of kindness he wouldnt let something like this happen to such a great person and also such a talented person. fuck all the christians who criticise everyone else's beliefs and opinions

[goodygoody23]

why Becker God? Why not some douche like Eddie Van Halen or Malmsteen? God takes all the humble ones like Randy Rhoads and Jason Becker and Jimi Hendrix and leaves us with the douchebag garbage. He must be making a superband in heaven or something

[motleycrue24]

and another thing how is able to write music despite his condition

[motleycrue24]

damn its so weird seeing him like that its painfull no one should have to go through that specially him

[cacophonybecker]

oh his name is jason becker? i always called him god

[Droogie1971]

They're making a movie!! - Check it out on Facebook - Jason Becker Movie: Perpetual Burn

[jesusgrc1762]

such an incredible talent taken by such a horrible disease. God does work in mysterious ways.

[dxvolt]

Jason God

[TheVirtualGravity]

this is why we need stem cell research!

[Bjouesbijou]

@TheVirtualGravity damn right

[AceFire117]

This makes me so sad... I admire his determination.

[Metalisforus]

Nothing can stop him and nothing will !!! Jason Becker Forever

[H057IL3]

God should have waited twenty years and given ALS to some shit pop act instead.

[9erMatthew]

@H057IL3 yeah, like Beiber or the Jonas Fags or something.

[H057IL3]

@9erMatthew

I did on purpose to avoid mentioning names -_-

[9erMatthew]

@H057IL3 oh...Sorry

[NiveK686]

I feel so sad everytime I see him...

That shouldnt happened to him...

Why?!?

What an inspiration.

[DarkerKn1ght]

why him and not those 6 wankers who pressed the dislike button?

[UlfLundell]

@DarkerKn1ght I bet they pressed the dislike because of his condition and not disliking him or his music... or atleast I hope so.

[jfkdjfd]

i damn near get a tear when i watch Jason Becker inspiration vids. He is the best example of a spirit and i feel ashamed that i piss and moan about my problems. Jason Becker became Paralyzed beacuse had he continued to compsed music such as Perpetual Burn and Cacophony, then we would start to abuse his talent. kinda of like Metallica, now some will bitch, but, even Jason Becker liked some Metallica. He beacme paralyzed so that he could be an even bigger inspiration.

[bjordansr]

man........................

[sniktawleahcim]

which song is that from on 0:28

[empirehorn]

@sniktawleahcim Rain from the Perspective album.

[chrzoc]

this is just so fucking heart wrenching...he was such an EXTRAORDINARY Guitarist, I mean he was incredible...why the fuck does shit like this happen to people like him...he was without a doubt the best neo-classical shredder...his ffull sweeped arpeggios where just spot on amazing...

[BrocktheRock681]

why him and not jimlucas0 ?

[paulinchi]

fuck man !!!

[MJFslovak]

When I first saw this video and heard the guitar at 0:28 then I saw Jason Becker in his stretcher I felt like crying.

I always respected him, I never knew he had this illness until I saw this very video. I have even more respect for him now because he still fights everyday and is making music.

[CobHatecrewNor]

anyone know what the song is named, the one that plays when showing the picture of him, paralyzed?

[7vic11]

@CobHatecrewNor rain

[0pus]

I love this great musician!

[6stringsfreak]

what happened to him ?

[bobaromma]

@6stringsfreak ALS. its a disease that destroys every muscle in your body slowly

[sackvilleshredder123]

why does jason recieve this illness..... what about n-dubz?

[RacerXSuperhero]

What an incredible inspiration. Not just to guitar players and musicians but to the general population all over the world. Such an amazing spiritual human being. God bless you Jason Becker.

[Jonsk12394]

0:05 HE CAN YO-YO TOO!?

[Googopqp]

I don't think I was ready to see how he is today, that really got to me, knowing that Jason Becker is in a chair like taht. He was godly at guitar, and one that inspires me to play! Long live Jason Becker!

[shanghaiboy303]

a true legend and master... he is like yoda of the guitar world i think

[megadeth171souls]

I just hope that one day Jason would be all healthy and well and ready to rock that fretboard again ..!! A person who has always written music entirely from his soul doesn't deserve this disease ...!!

[jimlucas0]

why him and not george bush or something :'(

[evolutionmb]

@jimlucas0 - or Obama and all his commi buddies

[EstevanMusic]

What is the song at 19?????? I NEED TO KNOW CAUSE IT SPOKE TO MY SOUL and my soul is hungry for more!

[ericgenocidex2]

@EstevanMusic  Rain.

[UrbanAssault5150]

fuck im gna cry

[tamametal]

@UrbanAssault5150 me too :(

[0mgh4xftw]

It's too bad religious assholes have been so quick to damn stem cell research - the key to curing problems like these is held in it.

It's good to see he's still got his awesome hair though XD

[JohnRollos]

Some of his songs bring uncontrollable tears to my eyes, <3 ya jason

[ruchoso]

poor man
