Fuck dude, I really miss Beer Can. He had some wicked tunes that he'd play at the bleachers at topaz. I really only met him three or four times, but he left a lasting impression for sure. R.I.P Beer Can. - Thu, 15 Feb 2007 4:30pm

Beer Can Dan was a very talented individual, I found the "Drunk Live" demo. It's too bad I didn't know Dan (or perhaps I did, I just don't remember). - Wed, 28 Mar 2007 7:02pm Edited: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 7:03pm

Someone pointed that out to me awhile ago.

I still have his cd, was a great guy. Solid as fuck scumfuck drinker.

He is probably the only one that I hear mentioned everytime I go drinking with my friends, and more respected than anyone else I know as far as the drinking homeless punks. - Sat, 7 Apr 2007 2:50pm

Willem here, damn fuckin rigts I thought I lost Dan's recordings, but alas, I have found ze missing CDs, so yeah, Not so sure what to do with the recordings, considering they were his originals and all, did he have family here?
anyways, maybe the music could be sold, and profits could go towards troubled youth counselling or something along those lines, I think Dan would want it that way... I will put the music all together on some cds... anyone got any suggestions, besides me sticking my head up my own ass?

loryn and i went to skumbala this year and she was walking past a van that was playing drunk live and started singing along and a woman inside started crying. who should it be but beer cans fucking MOM.
we met his mom, hung out with her. she is an amazing lady and told us stories about him. i guess he started out playing piano and told his mom he wanted a guitar because "piano is for pussies like elton john"
she insisted there be beer at his funeral and that he be buried in his favorite clothes and not some stupid tux, and no one should have to wear a tux to his funeral. he was cremated and his remains have been spread all across the country and even as far as ireland. i regret that i was in a hurry to leave and we didnt have time to get her email address.
his music gives me chills, ive never heard someone sing with so much heart.
Rest in Peace. - Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:30am Edited: Fri, 31 Aug 2007 11:35am

Wow. Dan is my cousin. And he passed when I was a kid. The few memory's I have of the guy have been ones of someone that I quickly looked up to. I didn't really know him and I know his sister Nancy and brother mike not much more but they were my big older cousins. Reading the comments was a roller coaster of emotions for someone that I spend very little time could make such an impression on me. Music was always huge in my life but I remember when I was 10 or so maybe younger my aunt which is his mom was getting married and at the reception the look on him and everyone else face at the table when I told them who my favorite musician was and why. It was and still continues today to be Dimebag Darrell. Aaron you caught me so off gaurd when I read about you meeting my aunt Debbie. That lady is important to me and always had time.for me and my brothers. She was my dad's best friend and if you knew my dad wouldn't believe he took shit from.anyone exempt my little auntie Debbie. I miss everyone and haven't talked to family in years since my mom died and haven't talked to my dad even longer but reading what you posted was the closest I've felt to family in very long time
Thank you so much. If anyone can help me find more of his music my email is [email protected] or you can fb me Jesse Armstrong from Brooks alberta. I only have 2 songs from.him that I play everyday but panhandlers delight sometimes gets played way to much if I'm feeling down on my self. I need to hear more. I remember asking my aunt and Nancy I'd they did but nothing ever came from it and I don't lie to bug them about Dan. So any help would be more then appreciated and thanks so much again Aaron. - Wed, 23 May 2018 10:04am
