Daniel MacMaster Tribute

Recently I pulled out my Bonham "Mad Hatter" CD after over 10 years.
I was a big fan of Bonham, and especially their second album Mad Hatter in 1992, which seem to slip right past everyone, into the clearance rack, and gone forever. No radio airplay, only one music video played just a few times on MTV and I never saw or heard from them again, until Jason's new band a few years later with a different singer. There were so many dynamic arrangements and performances on Bonham's Mad Hatter album, sometimes I just don't understand why the rest of the world is not entertained by great rock albums like that. The general public seemed to pass Bonham off as just "a Zeppelin rip-off band." But even if Daniel sounded like Plant and of course Jason sounds like his father, they were their own original band. It seems to me to be such a sudden, unexpected and tragic death for a very young performer. I'm sad.

In poughkeepsie ny, back then at the Mid Hudson Civic Center.
It was so loud that we had to stuff toilet paper in our ears.
My wife love s "Wait for You" so just for kicks I did a search and sadly found out that Danny passed. I lost a brother to a similar fate back in '04 so I can relate a little.
Anyways that's all I have so RIP Danny and peace.

One of the great talents of metal, even if underappreciated. Sincere condolences to all of those that knew him, cherish the music and children that he left behind. I'm saddened personally to have never met or talked with him. I ironically was looking for his myspace to try and not only find out about his current music but to also try and communicate with him. How many of us leave such a mark on the world as Daniel MacMaster did?

I have been a fan for years and years. Danny has had a HUGE impact on my life. I am so very sad about his passing. I feel like there is a big hole in the world now. My thoughts and prayers are with Tina and the kids, and with the rest of his family. Lots of love Danny. Tears are falling here......R.I.P. Danny. Kim in NY
