Guitar shredder Marty Friedman was part of the amazing bill that recently visited Irving Plaza in New York City on April 10. The bill was headlined by Queensryche with the iconic Friedman and thrash metal band Trauma on-board as well. We were notified that we were covering the show and our Photographer Amanda Packey was a trooper and literally dropped everything and took off fo rthe train. She barely made it to the venue in time, but the main thing is that she did make it safely. Trauma kicked off the night and Friedman was up next. Friedman then took the stage and proved why he is heralded by many guitarist as one of the best ever. Check out these amazing pictures of Friedman in action!
