Michelle I am deeply sorry that your mom has taken a turn for the worse I was hoping and praying for better. I know you are probably spending every moment you can with her...

Under the heading of more awesome news, I just found out that one of my daughter's best friend's brother has just killed himself. At 23 this girl has lost both her parents in the last 4 years from cancer, and now her brother just took his life.

what - the - fuck!!

I held back crying all day. This takes the fucking cake.

Such a precious girl at such a young age with so much heavy shit. It's just not right.

what - the - fuck?

Hi michelle, sorry to hear about your mum getting worse, I went thru this about 5 years ago with my mum, and also about the suicide, thats tough to handle

hugs from me .. hope you have a better day tomorrow

To everyone in Mr. Satriani's camp,

Corrrr Satchurated was epic!! What a fabulous concert, truly one of Joe Satriani 's stellar performances. The look of the movie is glossy, and the 3D effects made it seem like the concert crowd was in the cinema with us. The hands holding up cameras and phones seemed to be right in front of us, it was radials.

There was a good crowd, about 60 of us in the cinema in Melbourne, all rocking along as if we were in Montreal.

Knowing the story of how Joe was feeling on the night, about the anniversary of his mother's death, I was stunned at the performance he produced. This show rocked. And since the Wormhole tour (and Chickenfoot) never came to Australia I actually feel like I've been to a show and the big difference is, unlike the fan videos on youtube (great as they are) I got to see the whole band perform at length.

Allen Whitman is NUTS! His energy is fantastic and really added to the show. Good to see Galen, Jeff and Mike in shot most of the time too. Joe and Mike did a lovely duet thing, and I had tears in my eyes when Joe played Littleworth Lane, it was very heartfelt.

For Big Bad Moon the camera angle was from the side, and I was surprised the see that Joe closes his eyes when singing - you can never tell with the sunnies on from the front.

Not a lot of talk from Joe, nor smiles, but you can see he poured everything into that show, and the effect of the movie experience is wonderful. I can't wait to get my DVD now. I think even Mr Skippy enjoyed it (what a sport, he comes along with me, gotta love him).

Awesome skippy!

My daughter and I just walked in for the 9pm (only) session.

Seems weird seeing joe in a cinema 1 month before live in person.

Interview with Joe March 1 on Pittsburg Rock station

You were at Northland too Jamie? Damn, we should have met up!

Thanks peeps. Rough night. Thanks for your love and support.

Jamie, let me tell you something about suicide. It's a bad decision that's made in a split second and instantly regretted. Most people that commit suicide are suffering from some sort of severe depression. People with depression are not weak. In fact, they have to be stronger than your regular "Joe" to continue to fight that battle every day of their lives. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain, not a chosen act of weakness. To me, it takes balls the size of Texas to actually commit the act of killing yourself. Sometimes it's an unintentional mixture of one to many pills with to much alcohol. Sometimes it's more violent. I have no idea how this boy died, but the bottom line is he's gone. The one thing these people are crying out for is love, forgiveness, and a sense of normalcy. If they can't get that in life, as decent human beings, the least we can do is give that to them in their death. Love. Forgive. Then love some more. Support those left behind. Pray.

Thanks.
