The Inspiring Story of Jason Becker - The Man Who Makes Metal with his Eyes

[Bright Garlick]

In 1989 I was a big fan of speed and thrash metal. Back then one of the rising stars of the speed metal guitar scene was one Jason Becker. Over the years I lost interest in metal guitar and assumed that Jason Becker had continued on as a metal guitar god. Recently I learned, that much to my surprise, his life had followed a different path - all be it one in which he has continued to distinguish himself - with his will to live and desire to make music.

Inspiration comes in many forms, as does the will to give back to the world.
