This bummed me out. He was such a professional and all around cool guy. Loyal.

Too young.

RIP Phantom Dan.

I know the cool kids like to say Bruce sucks, but dammit, this is sad. He was such a cool guy. Listen to his work on Hungry Heart. He was truly an integral part of the E Street band.

Seeya Phantom.

If anyone cares, there is an awesome live show on VH1 Classic right now. The E Street band is kicking some ass.
Screw you haters.
Goddam Danny was great!

Damn. Didn't know much about the guy, but just knowing he was the keyboard player on Kitty's Back is good enuff for me :bye:


RIP

Wow, this news has struck me hard. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band played a huge part of my teen years through my 20's, their music was the soundtrack of my lilfe during that time. Danny was a huge part of that sound. You'll be missed, Phantom.
