  • Who cares if they lightened up some,still the best band ever!!!!!

  • amazing!

    

  • aah q paixão platônica kkkkkk

  • Dans voice is just amazing, love this band <3

  • Some of these comments kill me. Most people change a lot as they get older, and Dan's has seemed to be a positive change. The saying "Youth is Wasted on the Young" is so true about a lot of these postings.

  • whoa, coolio dat was, um, AWESOME.

  • i like the old silverchair

  • best version this song for me !!!

  • his ugly anorexic ass is back in beautiful form :D

  • @Lamborghini652 altough he is using a pick...Hes not using on the begining only

  • Amo Silverchair, Amo el grunge, antes escuchaba esta canción y la cantaba junto a Johns, pero y ahora que estoy entrando por esto, lloro, lloro cada vez que escucho esta fabulosa canción, y ya no puedo cantarla, sino que reflexiono... Mierda, estamos jodidas... :(

  • I suuuuuuuuuuuuuck! xoxo gossip goat

  • I suuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

  • This song still plays an impact on him. Just the emotion he shows in the video. Great song.

  • and there it is, the stupid ass douche singer ruined the song again

  • @rodolforops Yeah, he's being a total dick! It's really hard to watch - he was so great back in the 90's and he gave my teenage years meaning......Watching this upsets the fuck out of me! It completely looks like he's mocking the song! I know that it represents a very dark and painful part of his life and perhaps he's just sick of singing it...

    But at least have some respect for your fans, you asshole!!! Or just stop playing the fucking song if you can't be fucked doing it properly!!!

  • @ravenorkel And what would be a proper way to sing this song?

  • @aspectaleatoire Seriously?! How about not in such a condescending and supercilious way?!

    I've known Dan for a long time and when you know someone fairly well, it's very easy to tell when they truly mean something *and* when they are just posing. And the little shit is posing here and it pissed me off. End of.:)

  • @ravenorkel Nice. You really know him? Wow, that's cool! =)

  • @aspectaleatoire We've been mates for over 15 yrs and one thing I know about Daniel is that even though he's a bit of a ratbag with somewhat of an "off-kilter" sense of humour, he appreciates honesty above anything else in life - and that's why I'm absolutely comfortable in expressing how I feel about this particular performance. :) 

  • @ravenorkel Haha! Great! ;) Peace.

  • @ravenorkel I think you're the asshole. It's his song and it represents a time in HIS life.  He can sing it any Damn way he wants to and if you don't like it don't listen. I personally see him pulling the song out of his heart and if you can't well tough for you.

  • @Ardellro Super! If that's your opinion, and I mean your *true* opinion, so be it. I am saying that in this particular instance, his performance of this beautiful song comes across as disconnected and satire-like. And in whole honesty, while I think that Daniel is by far the best australian (live and recorded) vocalist, his cockiness here takes so much away from everything this song stands for. And you're right - I don't want to listen to this particular "version" of it. 

  • @ravenorkel 100% agreed

  • @jauckor

    How can you even say that? This song does not give reason to love being Anorexic, its a very deep song stating the devastating effects of a disease that so many ppl die from and he almost did ;( im sure he didnt keep performing this after recovery to influence fans to starve, he did it hoping it will make them get help like he did

  • thats probaly one of the best uses of a looper pedal

  • cual es el setlist de este concierto?

  • @MrFucker96TV Uh, no te lo podría decir ahora ya, pero creo que subí los videos en orden, o al menos se puede escuchar un cachito del video que viene o el que está antes. :) ¿De dónde eres?

  • faltou MISS YOU LOVE, nesse dvd Across the Great Divide Tour !!!!!!!!!

  • even you can give me 10000 reason... they shouldn't break up anyway!

  • 1:53- what a hot guy!

  • thats why everbody loves being anorexic, and I include.

  • Best band in the fkn world.

  • NOSSA A VOZ DELE PARECE QUE MUDOU , NAO É COMO ELE ERA MAIS NOVO QUE PENA !

  • Awesome voice!!

  • And I need you now,somehow...

  • @Lamborghini652 Modern Guitar Players should take note what he is doing could be accomplished by a 3 month expirienced guitarist....

  • ♥ and You're my obsession

    i love You to the bones

    and ANA WRECKS YOUR LIFE

    like an Anorexia life ..

  • *o* cute eh. and ..my name is Ana xD

  • I cant believe he still sings this song, that is all about a painful moment of his life. And what a great performance!

  • @Lamborghini652 just what i thougt...i do so too and saw this vid for the first time 3 seconds ago...i thought i was weird for liking that technique more

  • dont like the daniel johns leather-vest silverchair era...but im still a fan i guess

  • Silverchair , Bestbandever !!!!

  • This song is about Daniel fighting Ana(Anorexia) in the earlier stage of his life.

    This is why I loved grudge rock, they are random but have deep metaphors.

  • I've always loved this song. What a powerful, emotionally charged song. So amazing.

  • He changed a lot!

  • u are beautiful man !!!!!!!!

  • this is brilliant !!!

  • Somehow the way he sings the song just doesn't matches. Where's the agony and obsession in it? Man, good stuff really does die with time. Lose the beard btw :P

  • oh my ... heard this version for the first- and it really gets me...

  • is this the original singer ???

  • @brunobliss yep

  • Good version, I like it.

  • :( and i need you now somehow my girl :(

  • @marciosousa34 i dont need you anymore fucking bitch :(

  • AJAJA a Don Moderador de Youtube! qé mala onda éso del copyright, los músicos saben qe las canciones son de ellos! es más qe claro qe vamos a copiarnoslas!

    EXCELENTE ANA'S SONG!

  • Puta la wea!!!!

    Suena tan suave y popera.

    Antes esta cancion era intensa, era Rock, ahora parece un cover hecho por The Dissociatives.

  • ESTÁ NA HORA DE VOLTAR AO BRASIL!!!

  • I LOVE YOU DANIEL JOHNS OF SILVERCHAIR!!!!! I really wanted to see you...

  • Listen to his songs.. it really touches my soul... if you don't like him.. please don't say anything bad against him.. he's so lovely..

  • What happened to his voice???

    I want the old silverchair back!

    For everyone who likes this band - please check out my covers!!!

    Thaks

  • is this the orig silver chair dude...he cut his hair and sound diffent..is it someone else??????

  • @cheryl1358 no, it's the same guy. it's still daniel johns, he has just gotten older, thats all.

  • such an underrated band. i wish they would tour in the US more. they've changed so much. I wonder what the new album will be like.

  • Daniel se ve divino asi!!!! Muy buena cancion!!

  • this is so absolutely beautiful!seems like his voice is stronger now. amazin range he has and always had. love it to bits! hope they'll come to germany again. wanna see them play live sooo badly.

    gracias por subirlo. me encanta!

  • Beautiful performance as always! :D

  • Silverchair's sound is evolving. In the Young Modern Album, it's really cool because there is their old sounds from Frogstomp mixed in with Neon Ballroom but way more modern and better!

  • And you're my obsession .. I love you to the bones.

  • have someone the lyrics?

  • @tigermann111

    the lyrics is in the description

    ... ich kann kein Englisch xD

  • Wow ..its so... wow xD

  • I love this song, but theres one thing, that makes me a little angry. I tried to find this song, and all I found was Videos of live performances and stupid covers of this song. -.-

    I'd love it, to find the studio-version

  • The most amazing band ever!

  • **** does silverchair rock i love them

  • It's an evil sickness.

    I had an eatingdisorder,the doctors thought I was anorexic, but now.. maybe not everything is okay, but I think I'm healthy today.

  • He looks so beautiful...I admire him....love this song FOREVER!

  • silverchair still has it! damn great band! dan's still awesome as always! love him for life!

  • really rocks!

  • EPIC. ^^

  • this version made me cry the first time I heard it.

  • just look how he played with the guitar looper

  • from old school until now.....

    still great! :)

  • he really feels what he's singing. <3

    i love this song.

    I don't know much of silverchair, but THIS sing says to me: they are great. (:

  • <33

  • What a fantastic song!!!!!!!! I`ve always loved Silverchair!!!

  • wow!

  • I think Daniel sounds amazing..and he looks amazing too. He has overcome some pretty big obsticles in his life and he has proved to be a fighter!

    I am SO proud of Daniel for having the courage to rise above his inner demons. So many ppl give in. I understand his plight on some level and have such a great respect and admiration for him!

    XOXO DJ...SO Beautiful!

  • @shelibeli40

    Agreed

  • @shelibeli40

    very true indeed...fucking proud of him to have battled through the obstacles...

    bravo.....

  • Comment removed

  • you all know that this song is about people not eating, right?

  • its about himself and his struggle with anorexia

  • I don't care about how he changed his music, it's lighter than frogstomp or freak show but still he's a really good musician and he composes like a god, but why does he always dress up so gay?

  • SUBLIME!

  • Gracias hermano por subirlo... :-)  grunge por siempre...

  • music foda

  • The recorded or even acoustic versions are way more personal, but this performance shows off his musicality I think.

  • when i first saw this live version, it blew me away

  • Such a great song, but he fucks with it way to much, i guess it's his song though and he can do what he wants. He doesnt give a shit about his longtime fans these days anyway.. I'll always love the chair though.

  • i think that since theyve been playing that song for ever that they kinda switch it up to keep it interesting. because if we wanted to hear it exactly like they recorded it then you can just stare at a silverchair poster and play ana's song

  • Silverchair have always changed there style with every album, so it's not that he doesn't give a fuck about his fans anymore, its because he's unwilling to do the same thing twice. My bet is that there next album will be completely different to Young Modern, or anything else we've heard from them.

  • can you not tell that this song is hard to do some days? imagine for a second where he was when he wrote it and what it feels like to be obligated to sing it for the rest of his career. if anything, he's respecting the fans by still performing it. 'fucking with it' is his musical escape and way of getting through it. we've all heard the album version. dan's live performances are not the same and isn't that what a show is all about?

  • such a good song!!!

  • muito louco!!! demais

  • Tipica canción efectista. Igual me gusta como usa el delay. Pero tipica cancion efectista. Guitarritas suaves, voces sigilosas. MTV POP. Viva WEEZER!

  • Por que MTV pop wn va pero cero al caso

  • I love Silverchair but his high notes are too high and his low notes arnt as much of as growl as they use to be. Still love them tho.

  • yeah i said id perfectly !!!! yeah right

  • gOsh they ROCK dudde's!!!

  • They should have done this tour in America

  • one of the best versions

  • Silverchair is one of tthe greatest 3 piece bands.

  • agreed

    along with blink :)

  • This band is retarded good! Best out there.

  • can someone tell me what's the name of his bassit player?pleasee...

  • Chris Joannou. ;)

  • well thanks a lot fren :)

  • @warchief84 google

  • When the audience is told, by Daniel, to sing along, the guy who's shown definitely does not sing the right words. I noticed they did that on the Faraway Stables DVD, as well. It's funny.

  • this ones way nicer i think :P

    i like how slow it is,

    its just reallly niice

  • the one thing i don't like about him is his new obsession with vests. other than that i think he's brilliant

  • I just finished listening to Ana's Song BDO 2002 and this one back to back. Weird. I actually like the slow, quiet start better. He loses me a bit in the bridge and at the end here. He seems to sing this song triumphantly now, instead of as someone who is suffering, which fits more with his current state of mind, I'm sure.

  • I always wonder how musicians grow with their songs. This is a special song because it's been long since his eating disorder. I wonder what he feels when he sings it now. I wonder why he continues singing it! There are other songs that silverchair will probably never play again.

    Why do you think his current state of mind is unstable?

  • the person didnt say that they were just saying how Daniel sings the song now like a survivor not a sufferer of Anorexia which fits more with his current state of mind.

  • That's exactly what I meant. And you explained it better than I ever could.

  • no problem I thought you explained it pretty well but since someone took what you said the wrong way I figured its only right to help explain what you were trying to say lol

  • Seems that he has lost some of his anger which is good for him as a person, not so good for the song though, it seems so much more real when sung by a deathly skinny, angry Kurt Cobain-looking guy :)

    Not syaing that I prefer him like that, I am very happy that he seems to be healthy.

  • ★★★★★/☆☆☆☆☆ best song evas i mean evas

  • damn lol

  • LOL. :p

  • music is my life

    it started with nirvana

    and when the movie last days came out and I saw it,it changed my life

    I'm performing now,i'm a stand-up comedian in beglium,the youngest one currently

    and I use the influences silverchair and nirvana gave me,into my performances

    sometimes it works,sometimes it doesn't,but atleast i feel it, i give it

    and i enjoy it

    and yeah,silverchair..wwhat can i say

    some people think they're dumb, i just love them

    thats my opinion.

  • o and i thought the beging was amazing

  • I heard this song for the first time off this dvd, and i loved it. so i went back got all their albums and heard it off neon ballroom and it was totally differnt it was strait from his soul, it was the best when he sang it back then only because he felt it. He only sings it know days to keep us the fans happy. Would we still respect daniel if he didnt sing from his heart and soul, even if that means his older songs have a little less meaning. still a great performance. go the chair!

  • he still means it

    you can see that.

  • yeah it still has meaning but not the same meaning and if it were up to him i think he would put it all behind him and start a new.

    hes trying at least

  • yeah but, you know that's the only thing he can't do man..

    I'm happy he still does the song..thatmeans he hasn't changed completely

    but nobody forgets how he looked when this song was a hit

    so it's very hard for him to stay at the same level like back then

    I still like it,and I'm enjoying the new album as well,in the beginning it sounds bad,but eventually you start to accept it,and enjoy the sounds and waves..there are still some badass melodies in those songs!

  • hahaha badass melodies.

    yeah love the new stuff but even though i love the old stuff you dont get the same vibe but when he sings it live.

    and i am glad he is in a better place know.

  • wel yeah exaclty

    you can call me a freak,but in the morning I make a playlist of all the songs of silverchair

    and I play them all day long

    only silverchair

    and i enjoy everything

    but yeah you're right the vibe is gone,but he grew up,he was sick,his voice changed..he didn't do it on purpese(bad english,spank me)

    but on the cd,it sounds good

    like the dissociatives,i don't understand why people HATE paul mac, he did a good job

    more expirience with music and stuff

    oh well,just stfu and enjoythesongs

  • i dont know much of the dissociatives but i know he seems to be alot happier and expanded his music abilitys after paul mac and yeah i would love to make a new playlist of silverchair and get time to listen to them all day so i dont think your a freak i think ya living the dream :)

  • yeah man

    I arranged the songs in the kind of mood they give me

    so it fits like a puzzle

    and every song of them is in that list

    it's just a freaking good band, no matter what

  • So true,

    Wow you are so tuned in to it, you dont see much of that these days

  • I'm glad about the discussion that has been created in this video. I enjoy reading your opinions about this band.

  • yeah, thats nice. whats your opinion on the band.

  • Sorry for not answering before.

    I really enjoy every musician's evolution, at least the ones I listen to. Ana's Song is kind of an old song for silverchair. It is amazing that they still play it live, I give them that. I don't mind the change of attitude towards the interpretation, it's only natural that a person grows and leaves his fears behind.

    I'm very happy for this band, their music makes me happy, all of it.

    Big hug for you!

  • Wow I havent seen what they look like in years. I was supposed to go to a concert during this tour, my friend bought tickets and flew me out for it, but thats when he was really sick and they canceled. I would have perfered this song with less improv.

  • yeah that was shit. too much improvisation.

  • i dont really like the new stuff =( . i prefer the old stoff till diorama. but its great to hear the old songs in chairs new area.

    daniel must at least nurture is hair, haha!

    thanks for the vid.

  • I love the older stuff as well as the new stuff, however, Daniel destroys the old songs when he performs them now. I understand he is bored, but it is just not the same. These songs lose their value when they aren't sung as strongly, or with crazy voices. He is so into being a great frontman, he forgot to be a great performer

  • Wait, are we talking about the same Johns here? His music skills have improved greatly and, what do you mean by he is bored?

    Are you another Frogstomp Era melacholic?

  • yes we are. I realize you are the mecca of silverchair fanhood, but it is possible for people to have opinions. John's has stated he gets bored playing the older material, so this isn't exactly revolutionary. My point is simply if you watch daniel perform Ana's song as an example from the comet awards, it is awesome.Back then he sang Ana's song, freak, emotion Sickess etc...far better than he sings those songs today. he often tries to change them up and results it's a lesser performance

  • I think he is too focused on being a great showman, which he is noticeably better at, but it often comes at the expense of his singing. Again, this is a criticism of how old songs are performed. The new material is great, he aims to keep the songs integrity while maintaining a showmans act, he should do the same for the older songs.Silverchair is all that inspires me for music, when they have a new album i feel more prolific, but I don't get the same excitement from going to their concerts

  • At least you get to going to their concerts! ;)

    I wasn't saying that you can't have an opinion, everyone must have one, it's what defines us as real persons. And no, I'm not the mecca of silverchair fanhood, haha. I like their music and admire it but I mainly have this channel to share information with my friends who don't speak English, hence the subtitled videos.

    Take care and keep watching. You are a sweetheart and a gentleman. Kiss!

  • I apologize for getting defensive. That is precisely what I hate that other people do, so I suppose that makes me a hypocrite. Anyway, your videos are great. Can't wait for the next album. Hopefully not as long of a wait

  • Don't worry. You are passionate about your opinion and I respect that deeply. Take care and thanks for commenting. Big hug. :)

  • yeah definitely!

    my words ;)

  • maybe they 'lost their value' because they were personal confessions of the time he wrote them. just MAYBE he doesn't feel the same way and his music is such a personal expression that it's hard to perform. so he uses sound effects and sings the lyrics differently to escape from the pain of the original. and boredom. atleast he sings it because bottom line is it's his choice and it easily could become another 'tomorrow'.

  • I applaude you =]

  • bravo..well said

  • Word.

  • when i saw them live he played Ana's song the orginal way and he sounded so awesome and the beginging of this one is awesome too, i lyke it a lot both versions, =), his voice sounds so great live =)

  • Are you one of those "Frogstomp Era" melancholics?

  • oh Dan....you're my "personal Jesus"

  • Nice Depeche Mode reference.

  • thanks for the vids, i would buy this in a heartbeat if this dvd came out in canada

  • Your welcome. I bought it online. I made a pre order when it was announced. I think you can still ge it. ;)

  • nice song q.q
