However you might feel about his demo videos, this is some heavy shit. Not sure if there's a GoFundMe or anything setup but here's to a speedy recovery.
This is not good. I feel so sorry for his wife, family, and friends. I love Pedals & Effects so much and he is just so full of life an inspirational. Just a charismatic/passionate person. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Such a talent. Such a terrible situation.
Illustrating his sense of humor... my favorite intro to Pedals & Effects

Honestly difficult to process this news. Brought a level of stability to The Mars Volta, had a great YouTube channel with tons of bass demos, was a terrific player, but most importantly he seemed like a genuinely good guy.
