	George Graham Reviews Jason Becker's "Perspective"
		Becker continued to work in Roth's band, but his condition worsened, and by the early 1990s, the weakness spread to his arms and hands and took its toll on his guitar work.
		Jason Becker's story would be compelling enough, but his CD is fascinating and engaging, irrespective of that.
		Becker writes that by that time, his left had become sufficiently weak that he was unable to bend notes with the frets, so he achieved the same effect with the guitar's tremolo bar.

		In the few years Jason was with Cacophony, their two releases, "Go Off", and "Speed Metal Symphony" found just enough recognition for Jason to be ask to replace Steve Vai as the guitarist with David Lee Roth.
		In 1991 Jason Becker at the age of 20, along with the rest of the David Lee Roth band hit the studio to record what would become as "Little ain't enough".

		Jason has such a good sense for what the song needs from him as a guitarist and a band member as well.
		Jason made me realize that it is possible to take many different styles, mix them all up and work on creating your own style.
		Jason clearly discovered his purpose early on but the fact that he continues to write to this day is a true testament that he remains devoted and connected to his path...

	Review: Jason Becker, Perspective - Linda Scott (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Guitar wizard Jason Becker got his first public notice in the late 1980's when he and Marty Friedman formed Cacophony, a speed metal band which mixed a synergy of rock, classical and blues training.
		Becker's next musical project which will definitely require computer software and a monitor sensitive to his eye movements; he is now unable to work the keyboard now.
		Becker has also established a $10,000 music scholarship at the Atlanta Institute of Music and is accepting applications through August 31, 1996.

	Jason Becker Guitarist- Acid Logic E-zine
		Becker's stuff, with or without Freidman, was just a little too masturbatory to grab me. Most of his songs were endless streams of extremely fast scales, variated in differing patterns.
		As Becker says "The first time I felt like I could die was when my voice got weak." (Most direct quotations are from the Jason Becker web site - www.jasonbecker.com.) At this point he did what many people do in similar circumstance.
		Most of the music on this album was recorded before or during Becker's Shrapnel records tenure, but perhaps it was done with the assumption that it would never be released, and thus gave Becker the freedom to explore areas that would not have been accepted by shred devotees.

	Jason Becker: Perspective - PopMatters Music Review
		While Becker was able to finish the recording sessions for Roth's A Little Ain't Enough album, the disease had left him too weak to tour and his tenure with the band ended almost as quickly as it began.
		While ALS slowly eroded Jason Becker's command of the guitar, his determination to make music remained untouched, as evidenced on his latest release, Perspective -- a record that was five years in the making.
		If Jason Becker is never able to play guitar again (which we pray he will), he has left his fans two monumental guitar-soaked swan songs in "Rain" and "Blue".

		Jason is this guy who will just churn out plainly hauntingly beautiful and inspiring guitar art of the highest level of all time.
		Jason Becker is not the best metal guitarist, or the best progressive music guitarist--he is simply the greatest guitarist who ever lived and this disc is a testament to the undying creativity of a truly great man. "Perspective" features compositions written by Jason over a five year period and assisted by fellow musicians.

	Jason Becker : Perspective - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Between the release of his first solo album, Perpetual Burn, in 1988 and the making of this, his second, speed metal guitarist Jason Becker suffered one of the most devastating blows a human being can: he was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), the incurable ailment that gradually renders its victims paralyzed.
		The result is that Becker, being unable to produce his usual heavy metal performances, has turned to a more varied musical palette, allowing in a wide range of musical influences.
		Jason Becker is enduring a catastrophic fate physically, but he is using it to explore musical passages he might not have otherwise.

	Jason Becker - Wikipedia
		L'album al quale Jason Becker ha contribuito, "A Little Ain't Enough" (1991), vinse il disco d'oro e fu molto frustrante per Jason non poter suonare dal vivo le sue canzoni, questo album viene tuttora considerato il miglior album della band di David Lee Roth.
		Becker è noto per la sua velocità di esecuzione, ma nonostante ciò, diversamente da altri chitarristi neo-classici, lui preferiva la melodia in completo assolo per poter mostrare le sue abilità.
		Jason crebbe musicalmente con Marty Friedman, insieme produssero molte canzoni e da lui fu influenzato mentre raggiungeva le più elevate vette della tecnica chitarristica; le loro linee melodiche rimangono tuttora un marchio inconfondibile e un esempio da studiare per una moltitudine di chitarristi.

	Jason Becker Tribute Reviews
		Jason Becker's guitar talent was second to none and was picked by David Lee Roth to be the lead guitarist for his '91 album 'A Little ain't enough' and was also the other half of Cacophony with Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth).
		Becker was heavily influenced by classical music and his technical expertise with the six-string was evident in all of his music.
		This astonishing tribute to Jason and his courage to fight and refusal to be defeated is a suitable and lengthy recording covering select arrangements by the artist.
