Lukather: "Things are going so well, I am so thankful to you all and to the band and crew! By far the best I have felt on stage and on tour in so long I cant remember. Missing my kids ALOT but this is the price. Thank God for skype! Thanks for the support! Oxoxox."

Lukather: "The world lost a Giant... Gary Moore. I was a fan for sure. Amazing touch and chops... whew... fire! I had the honor of sharing the bill with him in 2001 at Montreux Jazz Festival. I was with Larry Carlton at the time... he was such a nice guy and a MONSTER player. He will be missed. Man... this stuff is happening WAY too much for me. I pray you are all well and God bless."

 

Joe Satriani headlines a guitar-heavy bill on March 26th at Slim's in San Fransisco, that also includes Richie Kotzen, Steve Lukather, the Kehoe Nation, Flametal and many more, reminding the world that Jason Becker's Not Dead Yet.
Proceeds from the evening go towards medical supplies for Jason as well as a trust fund to provide for his future security.

Jason Becker, a onetime guitar prodigy first known as part of the metal duo Cacophony, was diagnosed with ALS (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) at age 20, shortly after joining David Lee Roth's band. Although the disease robbed him of his ability to play guitar - and eventually left him both paralyzed and unable to speak - Becker continues to compose music with the help of computers, collaborators, and a system of communication using eye movements that was devised by his father Gary.
