Rock Fujiyama

Crazy Japanese rock show featuring Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert (and a 3rd guy Rolly) trying to out-shred each other...

I've seen several episodes of this show, it's great. Marty Friedman's a regular presenter, so it's great to see him jam with the guests, especially when it's Paul Gilbert. There were some other great ones with Kerry King and another with Andrew W.K. (I guess that last one is only entertaining to me ).

I'm facinated by the concept of the show. Do they bring out different players each week to jam or is it some kind of talk-show? And what is the green sludge Rolly had to drink when he lost his turn?

Shred Fest! Pretty nasty and that chick was cute.

This is weird, but cool...too bad there's no sub titles. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode with "Mister Sparkle"

Get a load of these Marty/Paul Gilbert clips I found while watching the one MetalGuy posted, this time from a different Japanese TV show called "GIG"... they jam a few KISS riffs in this one, aided by a Gene Simmons impersonator who helps out on "air bass!" (and there's another cute Japanese chick!)

Part II of the above GIG episode: Here they play a game called "A To Z," where the hostess pulls a letter out of a box and Paul or Marty have to be the first to play a riff from a band that starts with that letter. Hilarious. Surprisingly enough, when the hostess pulls out the letter "M", Marty does NOT play a Megadeth song!!
