former David Lee Roth guitarist Jason Becker has a new cd....he has ALS and got help from Steve Vai and Joe Satriani....

Gripping virtuoso guitar licks and a glimpse at history as it was being made accurately summarize Jason Becker's new album, Collection.

Jason Becker still has a strong desire to compose, despite paralysis from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gherig's disease), and Collection not only contains some of Jason's favorite moments from his Shrapnel and David Lee Roth recordings, it also features three new Becker compositions, each as impressive as anything he has recorded in the past. Jason has enlisted some of the largest names in instrumental guitar music and has as many as three guitarists per track trading off riveting performances - including Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Michael Lee Firkins, Marty Friedman and Greg Howe. Collection is exactly the kind of record that Becker fans have been waiting for.
