Californian thrash legends Megadeth played a special headlining set at the Budokan in Tokyo, Japan last night. That set marked the first time the group had shared the stage with guitarist Marty Friedman in 23 years. Friedman was involved with a number of the band’s classic albums, having been played on all records from 1990’s “Rust In Peace” through to 1999’s “Risk“.
