The picture of his first day at school made me ugly cry so hard my eyes hurt. There is nothing more heartbreaking to me than the innocence and optimism of a young child being stripped away by cruelty. I can’t even look at it without welling up.
People all over the world are still discovering Nirvana and learning about Curt Cobain. Rockstars (especially gothic cowboy from hell rockstars) never die. Cobra lives for ever.
May the people who hated on Josh (and Clint) never know the peace that Cobes is now feeling. Not even a fraction of 1% will attend your funeral, your name will not be remembered, you will fade back into the dirt you were descended from. So mote it be in the witches circle, Toobz
Did anyone archive the Morbikon songs featuring Josh? I just went to link them to a friend and it looks like the guy who uploaded them took them down. Dying to find another copy
Boys, I am drunk as fuck. I normally try not to drunk post, but my wife and I have both cried.
Josh was the background to so many important memories for us. I remember watching a stream where he was talking about marriage, and that was the impetus for me to really reconsider asking her to marry me. We spent so many nights falling asleep to cobra. I remember turning her onto Josh, I had caught a single video way back when I was young and thought Josh was the cool gothic older badboy I wanted to be. Then as I grew and adult responsibility kicked in, I viewed him more as someone I wanted to be friends with and to help out.
I waded in and out of following Josh for the past decade or so, really focusing back on him the past 3 years.
I am gonna miss Josh like a motherfucker. My breath catches every time I see my lifesize Green Phantom I put together in the home theater. It was good for my heart to see Josh, and not just King Cobra. I poured out a drink for him. I hope he knows how much he was loved, and I pray to SkyGod I get to catch a drink with him when my time is done.
I love all of you. Thank you for making Joshua Fay Saunders matter.
thank you clint for putting that together for us even tho he didn’t have to, and probably had mixed feelings about doing it due to the trolls. i personally appreciated it, and i hope the reddit fucks leave clint and his family alone.

I'm right with you after that whole send off. I am crestfallen for how awful and malicious some people can be. Hugs to you and to anyone reading. We should all try to treat one another as honestly and kindly as Cobes would.
Such a great video, I'm so grateful Clint and his family did that. The song at the end was so fitting and was the perfect way to end it along with the voicemail message.
RIP Josh, I wish all the best for those you left behind
Clint is a legend for putting all this together. The sickos didn't deserve to see any of this, but it seems he realized there were enough people that actually loved Josh and would appreciate celebrating his life like this. Seriously huge respect for him being able to ignore the people that actively fucked with him and his son and create this beautiful video. I don't know if I could have done the same in his position.
Absolute hats off to him, Tanis and the sister. They didn't own us anything, and this was huge. I wish his whole family the very best. Cathartic. Mixed feels. I don't know.
