If you've been wondering what ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman has been up to, look no further. He's taken his talents from the stage to Japanese television and has worked on as many as five TV shows at a time in that country. The wackiest, "Rock Fujiyama," is part gameshow, part video program and part acid trip.

Throughout the program, Friedman plays lead guitar on a variety of popular songs. The episode below features Blondie's "Call Me" and Judas Priest's "Raw Deal." Friedman also mutates classic Japanese tunes into metal monstrosities.

The wildest part of the program comes when a special guest steps in -- in this case Slayer guitarist Kerry King -- and he and Friedman listen to the house guitarist play a riff and see who can name it first. Then the two celebrity axeman turn on their own guitars and jam it out. Between segments are snippets of Slayer videos. And the show's hosts have to be seen to be believed. And you thought "The Andy Dick Show" was messed up.

Recently, Slayer beat out fellow nominees Lamb of God, Mastodon, Ministry and Stone Sour for this year's Best Metal Performance Grammy. Let us first kiss Slayer's ass by saying that it goes without saying that they are legends, and we all owe them our first born children for their contributions.

However, was "Eyes of the Insane," really the best of the best in metal recordings for '06? Or did Slayer get the nod because they are the most familiar name to a committee of Grammy voters who probably never even heard of the others? The answers: "No" and "Yes," respectively. But, at least it's not as bad as Jethro Tull winning the first one back in '89.

Slayer will always be legends, but we say give new blood some of the primetime shine.
