Jason Becker's Not Dead Yet: 3 Music Festival Benefitting The Jason Becker Special Needs Trust Announced By Larry Petro, News Monkey Monday, August 25, 2014 @ 4:16 PM
In related news, Jason Becker has posted his ALS Ice Water challenge to his YouTube channel calling out Edward Van Halen, David Lee Roth and John Mayer. The video, which was posted late Saturday afternoon, August 23, 2014, has already be viewed almost 44,000 times in under 24-hours. Check out the video!
In 1990, 20-year old guitarist extraordinaire Jason Becker, after already recording three full-length albums of his own and producing Richie Kotzen’s debut solo album, was selected to play guitar for David Lee Roth - a position previously held by two of the greatest guitarists ever; Steve Vai and Edward Van Halen. Jason went on to record DLR’s third solo album, A Little Ain’t Enough, released in April 1991, was voted Best New Talent by Guitar Magazine by April of the very same year, and was about to begin a world tour that would make him an international guitar superstar when Becker began to feel what he called a "lazy limp" in his left leg. Doctors who soon diagnosed him with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's Disease) said, not only would never make music again, he wouldn’t live to see his 25th birthday. Over two decades later, now confined to a wheelchair and without the ability to move or speak, Jason – considered by many to be the ‘Stephen Hawking of music’ - is very much alive and making music.
Jason communicates with his family, loved ones and friends thanks to an eye-movement spelling system his father, Gary Becker, invented called Vocal Eyes. For more info about Vocal Eyes, and to access FREE instructions, please visit: http://jasonbeckerguitar.com/eye_communication.html
