Jason Becker - River of Longing

[ananominity]

Even if he was cured tomorrow, we've missed years of indescribable music. I can't even imagine the agony he must feel with what must be endless symphonies in his head, music like the voice of the universe that fate has stolen from us. With 7 billion people on this planet, why him??? Lets get him a machine that could transmit his thoughts into sound. A family member of mine died from ALS in barely 1 year. There's a reason your still here J. You're not leavin till we get every note.

[blazerrips91]

Goosebumps :') ah what heavenly chorus

[realrockstarcowgirl]

[thomykosta]

[AppleLobster1]

@thomykosta Greg Howe! He shreds the solo

[bubswildchild]

@thomykosta the guitar tone sounds like marty's...m not sure

[GerardoWladimir]

Me emociona este tema, no se tiene una nostalgia que llega al corazón :)

Temazo

[besacvincent25]

Thanks Jason, you are the only one person on this earth who could make me cry with his music!!!!!

[MrGuitarnight]

genio!

[jarkanciofan]

@RicardoGuitar100 Mega forever alone.

[theantfish]

beautiful ,and soulful, as always thats jasons grace,,,,love you jason and thanks for the gift to us all, thank you

[Dehumanizer1]

Legend...

[KyleStonehouse]

I want to learn this chord progression so badly it is the most beautiful I have ever heard.

[supercappuccino]

were can i get the whole score T.T

[Labtec86]

Great. now I gotta find what MoonMoney1 said to piss everybody off.

[GoatShanty]

@Labtec86 Don't waste your time... It's the dumbest thing ever. Some teenage troll claiming to be knowledgeable in music but likes indie rock and alternative rock, using "critical acclaim" as a basis for claiming whether something is "good" or "bad". It's like saying Bach is a worse musician than The Ramones cause they have good reviews and are more popular now. I could understand if someone LIKES Nirvana better than Prokofiev (not me!), but using music theory as a basis for that is grotesque.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@Labtec86

She thinks lil wank is better than Jason Becker, don't even bother with that idiot.

[StallionTTT]

Moonmoney john sucks at guitar

[ShaneThompson94]

very amazing.... so sad to see he has L.G disease and his whole body is non functional and he communicates with his eyes.... so sorrry for him, definetly a brilliant mind and musician

[PGROSYE02]

I find it sorta sad someone devotes their whole life to trolling Jason Becker's youtube vids, not because of Jason's condition (let's hope one day he plays again), but because of how lonely, and isolated that person must be to be on youtube 24/7 for such regressive purposes.

[xTonyxMaddenx]

@PGROSYE02 Yes Satan knows how to use Youtube and thought that sounded familiar. Those darn angels on guitars again...

[benbrenn]

That was great, Jason is a legend

[itsvoogle]

Owling???..how about Beckering............ya that was pretty lame i know hahahaa



[MichaelSmithComposer]

It's unfortunate that such an argument must go on on the feed of a piece written by a brilliant man who can't even move anymore. Shutup and enjoy the miracle of ambition and brilliance in the face of all odds.

[wifflwaffl]

Shut the fuck up Moonmoney. No one likes a whiny ass little bitch.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Nope, I owned you so hard.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Who's that ugly person in that avatar?

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Yeah I did. 

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj I did answer your questions.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj No, I know plenty about their music, and it sucks.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Both suck.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Nope, I've won.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Don't care.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Why does he suck, please tell me that.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Like seriously, you don't know shit for theory. You haven't once proven you did. Also, if Frusciante, Becker or any other PROFESSIONAL musician were to see what you were doing, they would find you extremely shameful and would not give you and ounce of respect. Music's opinionated, you don't see everyone listening to RHCP, or Dream Theater. Some people listen to shit like Notorious B.I.G. Btw, fuck off, you bring shame to Canadians everywhere. kthnx.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic You mad.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 See, you lose.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Nope, I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 You remind me of this one kid at my school. I kicked the shit out of him :)

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Proof? 

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 is what you don't have. Listen cunt, get back in the kitchen and make me a fuckin sandwich, you have zero musical knowledge, and before you say "Yes, I do", put up some fucking proof. Get your ass over to ontario and suck my dick.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic You mad because I know more about music than you.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 How do you know more music than me. Troll.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Because I know this is garbage.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Enlighten me on how you know this, troll.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Because it contains awful songwriting.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 What's awful about it? Tell me that, troll.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Awful tone, boring instrumentation.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 That's a subjective evaluation. It's also very basic. What exactly was boring about it? :) You say you're professional but if you say "everything". that isn't very professional is it? :) Also tell me how that says you know alot about music?

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Answer me in full, troll. If you don't, I win.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic I just did, so I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 No you didn't you ignored my last post proving you wrong, and then didn't answer me in full. So I win.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Nope, you actually ignored all my questions, so that means I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 What questions did I ignore? Answer me in full, troll. You've already lost though.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic My questions on why you know nothing about music. Since you ignored, that means I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 You didn't ask any questions like that, therefore that makes you a lying loser troll. I am so sorry.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Proof? Otherwise, that's just more lies from you, which proves I've won again. 

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Proof: the only question you've asked me was "Proof?" referring to me saying I've kicked the shit out of something. Not on how I know nothing about music. You lose.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Yep, I've proen you know nothing about music, so I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 I'm sorry, "proen"? You've spelt a word incorrectly which proves I've won. Sorry, don't comment back troll, you'll only shame yourself more.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic Sorry, you just started a complete sentence without capitalizing the first letter, so I've actually won.

Also, saying "don't comment back" just further proves I've won.

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 I actually did, and it's "you HAVE just started", not "you started' like you have so wrongly stated. You lose.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic No, actually the way I typed it is correct. However, you seem to have trouble with capitalization, which is quite sad. That means I've won. 

[TheWilderMusic]

@MoonMoney1 Smartass little cunt.

[MoonMoney1]

@TheWilderMusic You mad.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Yeah I can. 

[MuhammadSweepmez]

@MoonMoney1 My name is Moonmoney

My name is Moonmoney

My name is Moonmoney

My name is Moonmoney

My name is Moonmoney

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Yeah I do. 

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj It means they're musically ignorant. 

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj No, it's only partly subjective. There's plenty of objectivity as well, and objectively Jason Becker sucks.

[TheSonsofHorusx]

cool song

[Meeetchell]

Too many people take YouTube comments WAY too seriously. Listen to the fucking music, stop bitching over who is the best guitarist/singer/penis rubber/what the fuck ever - all that is, is an opinion - nothing more, nothing less. Fucking stop it.

[rampage222555]

whos playing the guitar

[SingingSexCoach]

@minpinful Well perhaps you might word things in a more respectful fashion next time....ALS is a horrible disease and nobody deserves to be disrespected like that out of simple curiosity. That is what google is for....sorry if I got too clinical for you on the description but it made Jason smile and that is all I care about.

[YummyBananaFish]

@SingingSexCoach I must say this was hilarious, hats off to you Kristin.

[MoonMoney1]

@SingingSexCoach He can't move, lol.

[SingingSexCoach]

@MoonMoney1 You are correct, but he has more heart and soul than any human being I have known  I showed him a photo of you (your real photo) and even though he knows all of the horrible things you have said about him he replied with, "She is very pretty and I hope she finds happiness." So yes Kinzie, he can't move and will most likely never move again....ALS has taken his body but it cannot take his soul. He has won that battle.

[MoonMoney1]

@SingingSexCoach Show him my video of him against John Frusciante and tell me what he thinks.

[slashy04]

@MoonMoney1 lol epic trolling

[SingingSexCoach]

@MoonMoney1 I showed it to him and he said to tell you, "You are right....he is a better player than me." I am sure he likes John's sense of melody and feeling.

[MoonMoney1]

@SingingSexCoach And with that, my respect for him just went up. He can at least admit John is amazing.

[SingingSexCoach]

@SingingSexCoach Definitely....the one thing he is not is arrogant or cocky about his music. I think what has helped him grow as a player and now composer is learning from other great musicians. He is always open to the gifts and talents of others.

[SingingSexCoach]

@minpinful No, I assure you it is lovely and it functions better than most. He has excellent erectile functioning, senses full body pleasure, and enjoys orgasm . ALS does not effect sexual functioning. Um, and just for the record, HE IS QUITE LARGE just look at the back of Perpetual Burn for that proof. - Jason's girlfriend Kristin

[sweeptony]

@minpinful assfuck what kinda question is that

[sirelooka]

u still make me crying, Master

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj No, I'm very much a music critic.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj No, I'm objectively talking about music.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj No, objectively, I'm objectively talking about music. 

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Objectively, Jason Becker's music sucks.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 and yet you continue to troll becker videos (very poorly as well i might add). out of all your ridiculous and uneducated comments, i have yet to see you provide solid proof or a reasonable opinion as to why you dont like jasons music other than saying "it sucks." in a way youre basically trolling yourself and as ive said before, you have some serious security issues you need to resolve on your own time. im sure frusciante would be ashamed to have you as a fan.

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 Another typical comment from a Jason Becker fanboy. I've used nothing but facts and logic to prove Jason Becker sucks.

You should get yourself an education and learn to use proper grammar. You really need to learn to capitalize the first letter of a proper noun.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 'i remember when i first learned what trolling was.' this is youtube not oxford. questioning my intelligence further asserts your ignorance. give me your opinion why you dont like jasons music instead of beating around the bush this time.

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 More grammar errors. Try again. 

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 ...another butthurt canadian

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 You mad.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 furious.

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 You mad.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 jelly of jason? think so.

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 Why would I be jealous of a critically panned artist?

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 i dont know either. i couldnt think of another reason for you to be on his videos? he mad everybody!

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 It's because he sucks that I'm on his videos.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 you just trolled yourself. fantastic.

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 No, I'm just letting you know he sucks.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

You mad.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, I'm quite happy since I know what good music is. Clearly Jason Becker isn't good music.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Jason Becker isn't music, you are correct there! But surely his compositions are. You can't say that someones music sucks. It's opinion based you know.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, I can definitely say someone sucks.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Yes, it is opinion based. And yeah, you definitely can say someone sucks, sorry my mistake. But that doesn't have to mean that that someone actually sucks. As said, It's just your opinion.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, I can say for a fact that Becker sucks.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Prove it then.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 I already have. 

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

How? When? Please, give me some valid points. All you say is "Becker sucks and thats a fact". But I've never seen you presented any reasons why. Look up fact and opinion in the dictionary. As a selfproclaimed expert "music listener"(lol) you should know better than judging music by taste.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 Actually, I have provided plenty of reasons. 

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Quote them then.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 Look through the comments. I'm not going to look through several months' worth of comments for you.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

You don't have to look through "several months' worth of comments", why are you saying that?

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 Because I've been on this video for several months.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Yes, but why did you say that you're not going to look through several months' worth of comments? I never said that you should do that.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 Yes you did, since you told me to do your work for you.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

I never said that you should look through several months' worth of comments. Maybe you refer to the post where I said "Quote them then". Well, you still don't have to look through several months' worth of comments. You could just write them up if you want to do that instead. I'm waiting to see those "plenty of reasons" you have provided.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 That's your job.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Is it my job to write up your reasons why Jason Becker sucks? No, that would suit you better. Why can't you just write them up?

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, your strategy is pretty clear, and rather sad to be honest.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

I don't care. Why can't you post those plenty of reasons once more?

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 It's pretty simple - he focuses on technicality rather than songwriting.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Bullshit. There is no way you can be sure of that. Just because his songs are very technical and that you can't play them it doesn't mean that he focuses on just that. Now if he would focus on technicality as you say, then his song writing skills must be out if this world(in a good way)! If he would focus on technicality instead of songwriting and makes it sound so good then you must say that he is better than what he really is? Please, could you post more of those "valid" reasons?

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, you're actually wrong again. First of all, his music doesn't sound good, so that proves you wrong right there. That's why he gets awful review scores.

Please, actually prove his music sounds good. That'll be tough, since I've already proven the opposite.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

His music doesn't sound good to you, Notice the word "you". Most of his review scores a positive. How should I prove that his music sounds good? It's opinionated. If you don't like it so be it. And no, you havent proven the opposite. As it's 100% subjective I guess my previous comment is false. I'll correct a part of it that is wrong: If he would focus on technicality instead of songwriting and makes it sound so musical then you must say that he is better than what he really is?*.

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 No, I don't consider a 2.5/5 a positive score. In school, that's a failure.

No, there's plenty of objectivity in music. I can't even understand your correction due to the awful English.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

That's just for the Cacophony albums. His personal work which includes Perpetual Burn and Perspective has gotten many positive reviews. If you can't understand what I wrote then your intelligence may not be that good.

[Morenumbers123456789]

@MoonMoney1

Hahahaha! You got so owned! People, look at my comments further back which are marked as spam to see that MoonMoney1 got so owned, It was probably she who marked as spam trying to hide that she got owned! She doesn't answer my comment because she doesn't know what to say! Haha, I won this debate MoonMoney1!

[MoonMoney1]

@Morenumbers123456789 Nope, I've won, since I've proven all my points right and you wrong.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 jealousy is a hard pill to swallow...

[MoonMoney1]

@ThrashIsBack123 Yeah, Jason Becker is jelly.

[ThrashIsBack123]

@MoonMoney1 whatever you want to tell yourself broski

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Once you listen to enough music, you'll notice some music is better than others.

[CyValkarion]

I figured Jason's fans would know that you DON'T FEED TROLLS. Anyway There's nothing about Jason's music I don't like. <3

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj I'm talking about music.

[MoonMoney1]

@llasnwohpesoj Hi!

[ThrashIsBack123]

jason becker forever. love and peace from virginia beach

[irishsetterarchie]

Thank you Jason! It took me a while to get here but I'm here now...coming at you with a light held high just about to the top of that hill!!! Love you bro. Your music is amazing. Thank you OneLightBurning for uploading!! Now there's two of us here!!

[2826191]

Jason Becker is a world class guitar virtuoso and ultimate guitar god,I wonder how d hell those 2 ppl dislikes this vid(or) any of his amazing instrumentals,I am sure that they can not even compose one single line........Jason, we love you,we respect you and we adore your music,Love and peace from Lebanon.j.

[NailsForDinner]

"Therefore John writes better music, according to your logic."

John might as well make better music than Jason or Marty, but that has nothing to do with salary. My point is, you make shit for money, while Jason, Marty, and John make more than you.

[FrankenFresh666]

i won, your both turds

[sonido13bb]

compared with becker i play like shit

[upushicall]

moonmoney, why ask xx is better than xx, art is not a battle against the ego, whats about godzilla vs king kong, and whats about goku vs bejita? becker is 100000 times more inspirate than hammet .

[IMBACHABRI]

@Cardrigd who?

[SaintVitusCrush]

Most people would give up in Jason's place. Not him. Most of you manly men are envious of the mountain-sized balls that Jason Becker has, you fucking pussies.

Jason's talent, even immobile, is inspiration that everyone should grab onto when they're feeling like failures...

[ohitswhitley]

Don't feed the troll, just enjoy his music. I know the fact that moonmoney's being banned from last.fm for trollin&spamming.

[razgriezone]

Pretty amazing that Jason wrote this song in the advanced stages of his ALS. According to him he was at a point where he could barely keep his fingers on the strings... Jason is a huge inspiration and anyone that "lives" music like myself should admire him for never giving up on his passion. Much Love Jason, and keep up the good work. None of us can wait for your next masterpiece!

[FlyingHyde]

Legend!!!! GuitarGodsend!!!

[BedInTheGraveyard]

I'm talking for te fuckers who doesn't like...

You guys are the shame of the world,the day jason will move again,You'll be pretty fucked,cause he will be the best above all of us, cause this is Jason becker dudes,and NO ONE fucks with him. you couldn't reach with your amrs what italready does with his simple fucking mind

LOVE FROM FRANCE JASON! Thank you for your music,you ARE the fuckin sexiest,funniest and the most beautiful muscian E-V-E-R PERIOD!

[tungkiman]

jason - u make me proud of u ... u are the lengendary guitars idol...

[catspajamas01]

Jason doesn't even have to MOVE to create better music than these talentless "artists" nowdays. That's really saying something. I give my respects to Jason.

[Wingle23]

Fruciante vs Jason? Each to their own, I guess, but come on!! Jason for the win! Fruciante's a bit unremarkable after listening to this, eh? :-)
