Jason Becker Plays Despite ALS | Music News

Jason Becker, the legendary guitarist who recorded David Lee Roth’s 1991 album A Little Ain’t Enough, revealed he was diagnosed with ALS—given just five years to live—at the time of recording. Despite deteriorating health, including losing the ability to walk or speak, he still played guitar using only his eyes and continues making music today. He admits his playing wasn’t at its peak, but praises Roth for his support and calls the album a solid rock record—even if he wishes he’d given it his all. He also laments lost connection with Roth over the years, proving his enduring spirit through art despite immense physical challenges.
