one sad but also admirable thing about Jason Becker,
While he was preparing for the New David Lee Roth album in the early nineties, Becker began to feel what he called a "lazy limp" in his left leg. He was soon diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease) and was given three to five years to live

His ALS gradually robbed him of his ability to play guitar, to walk, and eventually his ability to speak. He now communicates with his eyes via a system developed by his father. Due to the nature of the disease, he remains mentally sharp and, with the aid of a computer, continues composing and releasing music.

His medical condition has remained stable since 1997 & In 2012 there was a movie release (worth watching calledJason Becker ain’t Dead Yet.
