I just cranked The Disregard of Time Keeping the other day. That was a great album. I wonder if this will be another wasted life because of an overdose.

Former BONHAM singer Daniel MacMaster passed away last night. The cause of his death has not yet been released.
Unsigned Connecticut-based hard rock solo artist Jimmy D, who collaborated with Daniel on the EMERALD MONKEY project, has issued the following statement regarding MacMaster's passing:
"Daniel and I started working together in early 2005. We found a writing chemistry and friendship like no other… in the world we loved called music. Now at this moment, it's hard to believe he is gone. We spoke weekly, holidays, birthdays… always, and I will miss the short time we had together. The writing, the jokes, and the stories. In my eyes he was an extremely talented musician. He taught me so much that I was lacking as a songwriter, and now there will be a void. Knowing now that our plans for releasing music performing together this year will never come to pass, saddens me beyond belief. He and I had our heart set on getting MONKEY-MACMASTER and his solo effort 'out to the masses,' as he put it.
"My heart and prayers go out for his family through this difficult time.
"I will miss you brotha. Forever your dear friend, Jimmy D."

Terry Baker, who was in a band called SCORCHER with vocalist Daniel MacMaster before Daniel hooked up with Jason Bonham to form BONHAM, has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding MacMaster's passing:
"My name is Terry Baker. I have been friends with Dan since we were in SCORCHER together.
"Dan passed away from a staph infection; he had pneumonia and didnt realize he had a staph infection that got in his blood. By the time he got to hospital, it was too late.
"His family and friends are in shock.
"[Daniel was] certainly one of the greatest singers I ever worked with. He told me when I was teaching him guitar pre-BONHAM he was going to be famous and tour the world and within two years of singing, he was doing a world tour opening for THE CULT.
"No words can explain his talent and personality. Truly an amazing person.
"Love you, Dan."
According to sources, MacMaster was in the hospital less than 24 hours before he passed away on Sunday, March 16. He was 39 years old.

"Guilty" is my favorite from the first album. Love that tune!

That sucks! I always wondered what happend to him after grunge wiped out his career.
I did hang out with him for about an hour once before a gig. He seemed like a good guy. There were some problems with people at the meet & greet, I tried to defuse the problem finally he said lets go. So we ended up in the bar, Me drinking & Daniel eating. The one thing I remember him talking about was how much he disliked Coverdale singing the word Love in so many songs, LOL.
R.I.P. Daniel
