Former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will have his new song "Street Demon" featured on the "D1 Grand Prix" CD, due on March 16 via Avex.

In the upcoming issue of Player magazine, Ayumi Hamasaki guitarist Yoshio Nomura and Marty tee off in "Marty Friedman vs. Yoshio Nomura", where the two of them debate the differences between Japanese and American rock, Marty's new music, Yoshio's new music and they also get into details about what it's really like playing guitar for two of Japan's most notorious superstars.

In other news, Marty will host a talk show at the "Ramones Raw" theatre premiere event on March 11 in Tokyo with guest Marky Ramone (former RAMONES drummer), who is promoting the new RAMONES DVD "Ramones Raw" and the film "End of the Century". A hardcore RAMONES fan himself, Marty was the obvious choice to be asked to MC the event and interview Marky for the Japanese fans.

On March 19, Marty will join legendary bassist Hideki Samejima (HOUND DOG) and pro wrestler Takayama for a live talk show as they host the Japanese premiere of the Martin Scorsese film "Lightning in a Bottle".
