Suffered depression as a youngster. I wouldnt say old cliche of music saved my life but it got me threw alot as a kid. Found an old mixed tape on the back floor of my bros car in the 80's and didnt know who it was. Played it at every opportunity for about a week. I got lost in it. Next time I saw my bro he told me it was VH. Mixed songs from before the 1984 album. Anyways I dont listen to them much these days but its my connection to the past, Sydney and a bro that introduced me to metal (not just VH) that is no longer here. Obviously started listening to Vai then onto Zappa soon after which opened up a whole new world back when trying to find unique music meant a train trip into town to Utopia (then Martin Place) to buy some random import.
But I digress....
Sad day indeed.
