Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

Rubbish.  One of the greatest guitarists of all time, imagine what he would be doing no if he didn't get sick.  Perpetual Burn is a top 5 guitar instrumental album of all time.

Love Cacophony.

Marty + Becker is one of the greatest guitar duos of all time.

This.

Their trade off on both of those Cacophony albums is just Godlike.  They had an amazing chemistry together.

They need to bring back cacophony. Of course with someone filling in for jason when it comes to playing. But Jason and Marty should write another album. Also fire the singer.

I don't know how anyone could call him overrated. When was he daignosed? at 21? How many guitarists have had the quality output by that age as him?
He has one of the worst diseases known to man, it's amazing he's still alive. He's a true inspiration.
Saw him once with DLR and he was great.

Speed Metal Symphony is awesome, despite the terrible vocalist.

That's the only thing that really dragged Cacophony down, the vocals, such a shame.

Anybody dig his second solo album Perspective?  I think he wrote a lot of it using computers after he was diagnosed with ALS.  It's not too shreddy when compared to his earlier stuff, but there's a lot of interesting stuff on there.

Yeah, it's good. Different certainly, with a spiritual leaning to it.
Anyone who doesn't rate Jason should just listen to Altitudes.

Yeah, I don't know what the heck they were thinking.  Must have been a close friend or something.
