Loudspeaker is the title of the new solo album from former-Megadeth member and popular studio musician Marty Friedman. It's an almost all instrumental, all aggressive guitar, and an all-out attack! Loudspeaker features guest performances from Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Billy Sheehan. Friedman notes, "I knew I wanted to make the most aggressive album of my career so far. Ever since I came to Japan, I have been doing such an insane variety of things, and believe me I have enjoyed everything thoroughly. By playing with techno pop stars and doing mainstream TV all the time I'm sure that I have confused more than a few of my fans who have supported me for a long time. I think a lot of them realize that there are a lot of things I wanna do, but really wish that I would come out with an album of what I'm most known for. That was the only real concept I focused on for Loudspeaker".
