Rove Live - Silverchair - Straight Lines (1st April 2007)

[msrysignals]

I hate when people's grammar is worth dog shit

[presbarkeep]

when did they sell out?

[BLueEyeButterfly]

ben looks really hot.. wearing.. clothes.

to anyone who doesn't think dan nailed it: try it yourself. or find me a single person in the world who can make it sound good. besides dan. seriously, i'd like a link.

[soutooi]

you need to see the live version of this song at BDO 2008, he sings perfectly

[aurebon]

i hate paul mac

[sheikwake]

for me his voice was lost sometime between the dissociatives and young modern.

[thechaircover]

its because paul mac (a.k.a the cunt) influenced him to use drugs and smoking destroyed his vocie

[tropcis]

no dejan  ver¡¡¡

[jamesyellow]

lol he cant scream anymore....

[billystar2000]

Daniel should eat more. He looks like a bag of bones!

[peoplehere]

Nice band, the melody of many songs are really original; he has a lot of imagination to create them...

[Narderz]

Hmm i prefer their older stuff, but this is still good :)

[melynqn]

daniel is the best!!!

silverchair the most great band of the world!

[machngunjoe]

i've seen a lot of this song performed live and this is the best. Jay Leno's show, Daniel Johns voice was really bad. I'm sure it is hard to sing.

[igniseXseriessupreme]

you said this 9 months ago so you probaly have no idea what im talking about, but he had laryngitis during the jay leno performence, most singers dont sing when they get it as it makes their voice worse.

[machngunjoe]

huh that explains a lot, But don't you think his voice is worn down altogether?

[igniseXseriessupreme]

yeah definatly, and I hate to say it, I keep on watching new performences hoping that his voice will be as good as it once was. Its not :(, its still great though, I saw them live recently in edinburgh and his voice was fine.

[machngunjoe]

I would see them in a second. I heard, on here actually, that his voice was damaged back during his anorexic days cause all he was doing was ecstasy and screaming frogstomp songs into the mic, and some DJ who produced an album was to blame. vague but thats what I heard

[brittyn]

yeah when you have laryngitis, you're not even supposed to TALK. i've had it a few times and it's miserable.

[charliebrown363]

i would imagine that this is an extremely hard song to sing live... i think he did a good job considering....

[fenderish]

maybe dan sounds a bit odd coz his sik u diks XD

[Canstey84]

Hey I did a little acoustic arrangement of this song. If anyone is interested just click my username.

[estatiktik]

queromeuspam your are now a retard...congratulations...

[midsouthreb]

or maybe im a desprit belivaaaaaaaaaaaa what the heck i love silverchair though

[Antithesis000]

good song

[Asphyxxiab]

WTF? My god this is pathetic u_u

[29thsign4me]

nice song fuck all tha haterz...and black music fuck you too....

[pepe0289]

thats why kurt cobain died imagine him doing this kind of shit?? i now hate silverchair

[queromeuspam]

Teed7, I also noted this kind of "coldplay" like.

How I miss Anthem, Freak, Abuse Me, Tomorrow, Without You, Miss you Love... there were all great songs!

PS. I HATE coldplay.

[queromeuspam]

It's sad to see the silverchair style turned out in something that sounds like an english "nerd" band such as coldplay, R.E.M, oasis, etc.

Although it's not the old times silverchair, it's still better than the black music shit we hear in the radios.

[DouggieRorza]

R.E.M are American, and since when have Oasis ever been classified as a "nerd" band?

[DeDlEy]

listen i like silver chair the way they are now and the way they were but u need to realise if ur playing the same music everyday for years and years your would probly get sick of it and want to try something different and silverchair is up there trying to do there best for people who like there music dont call them shit because im pretty sure there better than you cut them sum slack.

[estatiktik]

your are now a retard...congratulations...

[charliebrown363]

you racist waste of sperm

[antiteus]

Silverchair es una mierda ahora... parece musica para peliculas de disney

This is a total shit

[leemanal]

wat the fucks goin on. aint heard silverchair for years, then wen sum new stuff comes about, its this shit!! gutted man!

[Rolandoruben]

Fucking awesome

[teed7]

I like the new sound, glad to see they are ready to throw it down again. It does sound a bit like a heavier Cold Play? Anyone else think so?

[mudchair16]

You are all fucking dickhead. This is fantastic music, stop being such retarded cunts and wake up.

[brokenwalls]

i want his hair back

[frivas85]

too pop... miss heavy guitars

[BenRoundell]

Ya man classic Silverchair rules! The albums Frak and Frogstomp ruled, Neonballroom was ok, but this new stuff is too slowish/popish.

[feduch]

Silverchair cambio, cuando lo van a entender?? no sean cerrados y dejen de escuchar mierda!!

[chesterfield911]

I loved silverchair till "Neonballroom" ... didn't like "Diorama" that much and the new album is way too pop-slow-modern-shit... where is the rock, man...? Can I get my old Silverchair back, please...

[Siegeythebeast]

first time

his voice broke

but then

mAN

godlike

[Siegeythebeast]

went to school with the bastard haha

[bzzshht]

you did?!

[pissedagain]

He wouldn't be a drug addict. This song is about resolution.. moving on... and being straight edge i guess.. walking in a straight line.

[Coldacre]

4 years for this pop shit?? terrible. so bland....

[want2shagdanieljohns]

i luv u daniel, divorce nat and marry me baby.

[cantworth]

they sound so good live

[wildest22]

"Straight Lines" and "all across the world" are the only songs i like on young modern. Those thieving birds pt 1 is also nice (reminds me of diorama) but all the other songs sound mega frantic or muse-less-boring. i think it was either the pressure to top diorama or daniel became drud addict and those substances numb his creativity... i loved every song before this new "album". now i will listen to "year zero" THAT is an album! greetz from deutschland

[alexv1]

His creativity hasnt been numbed at all.. People get so angry because he hasnt wrote frogstomp part 2 or diorama part 2.

it wouldnt be silverchair if they did that. embrace the change :P

[pissedagain]

YOUR A JOKE

[steffasaurus]

silverchair!!! <3

[threateningbear01]

Lovin' it

[GeorgeJohnPaulRingo]

Give him some credit, that's a damn hard song to sing.

[chap1234]

they are better than ever

[homeagain]

i dont understand why everyones going on about his voice, hes singing better than ever.

cant wait to see em again in august:D

[toffee1980]

He doesn't hit the high notes perfectly, but that's not the point is it? I think they're looking and sounding good, I just hope they decide to come to Europe and do a show or two in the UK...can't wait!

[Soniclover]

They are, I Think tickets are released tomorrow (17th April) As i'm going to see them in London (I Hope =D)

[kurko1000]

i bet that no one that complains about how he sings here can actually sing like him

awesome performance

[Daniel195Chino]

Agree with chantellitubby.. this version is awesome.. i love the way he sings the chorus

[chantellitubby]

i reckon that this version is better than the real recording.. because he sings like he really sounds like..

silverchair are grung/punk.. and this version shows that a bit more than the original

[skoomers]

i like his hair with a bit of length like that :) he is HOT! they all are!

[polystyrenehigh]

Awesome ya his voice cracks on those high notes but he needs to stop smoking and that will help him. But they fucking rock.

[lyallgray]

i thought it was great and truly from the heart. the vocals only served to enhance this! cool one daniel johns!!!

[Prissie27]

I think the vocals are great! What's the problem?

[lola3444]

The fact that Daniels vocals arent perfect is in my opinion reassuring...at least we know that he is no lip syncing like every other band out there

[Jhimbob]

i thought this was a really good performance...what's wrong with the vocals?

[KYUZZ2]

overrated synthie-band...two keyboards...c'mon...

[theorajti]

To each their own, not overrated. The band earns respect from Daniel's songwriting. There's nothing particularly outstanding as far as the actual playing goes. Wouldn't call them "Synthie" either, but I suppose it's an easy conclusion to come to from this video heh. ta

[chelita85]

Awesome Song! - I luv Silverchair, But yes the vocals were a bit off. I dident really care, I taped it - & yer, very Happy Rove's Back! 2007 : )

[kjen11]

not happy jan

[mylife55]

Some of you lot are hard to please.. Dan was awesome

[KYUZZ2]

1 April is over..cmon when did the real album come out? this cant be serious...this is like shit...even worst.

[skoomers]

how can these vocals make u cringe? this performance was awesome! so much passsion! i LVOED this...and daniels dancing at the end...with big over-stated upwards strums on his guitar oooohhhH!!!! *ovaries BURST!*

[sacho11]

Damn..they're some creative dudes.

[sinantya]

hmmmmm he looks good in black

[g2a2b2i]

do u happen to have all roves show??

ooohhi love daniel!! i met him 3 weeeks ago.. his the best!

[drummerlars]

its quite obvious he is singng like that on purpose with more balls and guts in it

good job!!!!

[footbonemgee]

Much better live. This had more grunt than the record.

[shidesha]

Whoa, Dan's vocals were all over the place there... I hope he can overcome that... it must have been a bit awkward for him...

[buggzau]

i am a major fan but i cringed at the vocals he did for this performance.

i am really hoping the next single that comes out will be mindreader, young modern station or something that will show these haters they haven't sold out or gone soft which is the impression alot of people got when they saw the film clip. unfortunately the performance will give the haters more ammunition

[classiestact]

It's looking like the next single will be Reflections of a Sound. Sadly. Looking at the album my guess is that Waiting All Day will be the third single. Hoping for Mind Reader though.

[kazzama]

I'm a fan of all of Silverchair's material and i have to say that the latest album is quite amazing and pretty rockin at the same time.

This song is pretty rockin and his singing was very good. He did mess up a couple of times but hey.. we're all human... aren't we ? *eerie music plays*

[DUNVEGANCASTLE]

I can see that this is going to be another Classic Aussie Anthem. Loved the song the first second I heard it. Great work Daniel and the guys. A1 vocals. Incredible stuff!!

[shondirt]

great stuff!!!loved it

[Jono198520]

Great song..even better live!!

[highvoltageacdc]

I loved the way he sang it! Thought it was great.

[burnzo77]

He's gotta get off the cigs.

[mrnickb]

i know aye, you can see how much of a difference it makes...he was either singing in falsetto or shouting...nevertheless hes still amazing...i prefer all the other albums to this recent stuff but

[mickjt84]

The song includes both falsetto and shouting. It's a normal part of the song, although I agree that his vocals were off.

[mrnickb]

haha yeh i guess. but overall hes way better than normal bands on mtv n shit so good on them for that

[gfmgma]

daniel had some problems singing this song live...

this time he got it right ;)

thanx 4 the video

[adalitam]

Really I thought it was pitiful vocals!

[krafth]

this is great!! thanks for this!

[gameplease]

I like the new material, but I kinda miss the old material.

[saveourselves]

its not easy singing a song like that, credit where its due dan did a good job. i know being a singer myself that singing like that is not easy at the best of time, especially with a shit monitor mix on a tv show.
