wow..... this is just fucking amazing his voice is so good ... why cant he time travel and be 15 again ..that would be amazing.. maybe there would be better people all together
Daniel Johns is so hot :) I'm actually lesbian but is the only fucking guys I would like to had with me <3 his voice makes me crazy ! I love when he was doing great music :p
@TheSwampstuff its because of saps like you that music sucks today .. all the great musicians did there share of drugs an made real music .. while todays come down kids are sheer fucking horrid ... theres no such thing as a good band today .. its either emo or its newage .. there is no rock an roll there is only metal .. let the metal live on .. fuck this " I could of killed myself music " but im gay now so im not suicidal .. glad silverchair fell off .. posers anyway
@NervesOfSteel1986 Well, then get the fuck outta here and go listen to your own music. STFU and enjoy the music, don't like the music? Go and listen to your stupid crap, please.
God it's hard to believe we were the same age and I was sitting in class worrying about grades while they were in the recording studio making records...And making AWESOME stellar music.
Such a great voice you have Daniel! I wish you, Chris and Ben all the best and this chick will miss you and your music like crazy.All the best, you got me through alot of hard times...
back in the days before auto tune, u can hear true clarity in daniel's voice. Fking amazed by this track. Australia's best musical export outside of ACDC
@runnersdialzero333 yeh im referring to the industry not daniel. Back then, an artist would need to practice to get an awesome recording voice, now adays they can just put a half assed effort in and they'll fix it in the studio....we've lost a lot of good artist and a lot of phoneys have come through....daniel is pure class and all real, beiber should take a look at what real talent is here
@daFattylover i had mine for 2 years... just cut mine recently. it was exactly like daniels in this vid but i just got sick of it after a while. so annoying when it was windy...
@AceGuitarR7 Yeah I know what you're saying. It's really hot in the summer, and does get in the eyes a lot. I still prefer it though. Plus it takes so long to grow it out, when you cut it, it takes two years to get it back to a good length.
I live in a cemetary too one that is filled with great artists and song writers replaced with these zombies of today . Who only crave stardom and money.
feel nostalgic a kind of when I listen this songs and the last album the most recent songsz can not match the freakshow nor neonballrom era now I listen to the killers and they are losing bright too =(
i have nothing to say about all of it except everyone relates differently to the songs. like, maybe someone has an eating disorder and realtes while someone else had a bad break up and is suicidal so they relate, or someone feels theyre spirit is gone and theyre dead inside so they can relate. i dont think it has to have a solid meaning, just take it in your own way as it relates to you. daniel had alot of problems, this could relate to all of them!
get real..do you actually think people can ignore how Dan Johns looks? listen, I'm a true die hard fan of Silverchair..my whole channel is dedicated to them..but you can't deny he's beautiful..but of course he IS a musical genius w/ the voice of an Angel as well..but that doesn't mean we're going to stop "looking" or commenting on his amazing good looks
Goes to show you are shallow. You make it sound as if he wasn't attractive they wouldn't be as appreciated. People who rave about how hot he is are exactly like Jonas Brother fans. It is pathetic, PERIOD.
Besides, do you honestly think Daniel Johns wants more comments about his appearence than his music? Whatever. I'm not about starting shit on a website. That is my opinion and I never asked to hear yours.
I imagine that negative mark was from you..now THAT'S shallow. How about chillin a little? Where in my post did I ever imply that Silverchair would be less appreciated if the guys weren't smokin hot??? I simply pointed out that Dan is in fact just as attractive as he is talented. Why do you have such a problem w/ that? And I'd almost bet my Chair cd signed by the boys themselves that Daniel LOVES the comments about his looks..more than the music?.. no, but he loves it, trust that, wouldn't you?
so are you referring to the massive ego he developed from his looks or from his talent? lol..yeeaa anyway, seems ur strangely bitter over the attention a rock star is getting for his good looks..and ur Jonas Brother comment was extremely juvenile btw...every body knows they're fabricated and have no real talent so there's no comparison since the guys of Silverchair are rock Gods.
umm, not to jump into a month old conversation, but are you unaware of his physical appearance problems? neon ballroom was devoted to his inability to see himself as he truly was.. he could only see himself as ugly and UNattractive.. he nearly killed himself of starvation.. just wondering if that ever crossed your mind when you posted that he LOVES the comments about his looks..
I'm very aware of Dan John's anorexia. Although sometimes even when people, Johns included, know that they are extremely attractive and are loved for their beauty inside and out they still feel the need to destroy themselves physically and/or otherwise because of their problems. People act as if the guy was in a coma during the worst part of his battle w/ anorexia..I'm sure he still enjoyed if not loved attention for his good looks..he IS only human after all..and there's nothing wrong w/ that.
i beg to differ, i don't think you are really able to appreciate compliments on your looks when you have anorexia, you just don't believe them, you think you're totally ugly because you can't see things clearly
and i think he was so insecure - among other things - because of the fact that he wasn't sure if he was actually hated or loved
I don't disagree with you completely. There is nothing wrong with that. That is true. But you're misconstruing the emotions and feelings of a normal brain function with an abnormal brain function. Someone that cannot see themselves as attractive has a very different reaction to compliments. They don't see the compliments as a compliment, but as a patronizing lie. I'm not saying that he can't enjoy it, but most likely doesn't find pleasure in what he considers pain.
He didn't stop eating because he wanted to be anorexic, though. I saw a documentary and he just didn't feel like eating. He wasn't doing it to hurt himself, he just didn't feel like having anything more than an apple some days. He was depressed more than anything. Locked away alone.
yea I know..I saw that same documentary..I've seen just about everything on Dan Johns I imagine..there was another one where he also said he started eating less to lose weight and make himself seem frail so that the boys that would pick on him would stop continuously beating him up and then before he knew it he had an eating disorder...
Danny's all grown up and well isn't he...mmm yea..lol..I think he's been able to kick some ass since about 2002ish in fact so yea it's a blessing and I know everybody, myself included, is very happy for his recovery from anorexia even though I know he still struggles with other health issues besides anorexia.
well there was some intention behind it, i think. part of a mental disorder as a whole.. anxiety, depression, etc. he's said he would challenge himself and push it as far as he could, and the common anorexic's belief that a day without food is an accomplishment. just with different reasons.
um, do you think other anorexics have different reasons?
well, i guess being bullied (among other things, of course) or not being accepted is one of the most common reasons and how he reacted was a typical anorexic way of thinking, he sure didn't do it because he wanted to be simply skinny per se or to be anorexic but in reality, almost nobody who suffers from anorexia actually wanted to be anorexic...
and what St0pTheNoise described would be simply anorexia, not anorexia nervosa
i was just saying that i think daniel deliberately stopped eating, not that he was too depressed to eat, or lost his appetite as depression can do. i think his anorexia was part of a whole mess of mental issues. but hey that's just the opinion i formed from what i've seen and read, and personal experience. i don't know him or claim to know what he was going through. just my impression.
now i feel like a weirdo clogging the page to this awesome song up with all this anorexia talk. lol
yeah, sorry if i sounded like an ass (and i probably did :), i was reacting to all the opinions in the discussion, not only yours, so it probably was a bit confusing and besides, i agree basically with everything what you said
Well, what I described was straight from his mouth from an interview I saw. He just was mentioning "I didn't try to eat, I was too lost in thought to eat, I would basically just forget, sometimes I'd just have an apple and not feel the need to eat again"
That was around the time he was secluding himself and just focusing on music.
I'm not really trying to 'describe' eating disorders, I was just mentioning something I had seen him say on an interview.
yeah you gotta take into consideration all the interviews and of course who was interviewing him, because usually that has a lot to do with how much he reveals. you don't repeatedly black out and still "not feel the need to eat" though i'm sure some days it was like he described in what you're saying. things like that can get worse and better and worse, ya kno?
Well, I had ana/mia and I actually liked feeling hungry. I still do. You get used to it, really.
When you enjoy eating and you eat you feel content, when I eat I feel bleh. So if what he said was true, then I can understand since I'm that way too.
I have to force myself to drink water even, most of the time I'm lucky to get down a waterbottle worth of water in a days time- sometime I don't even get that. I just don't "feel the need" for it though.
@St0pTheNoise He stopped eating because he developed paranoia. Scared that people might poison his food at a restaurant, or that certain foods (he named cereal specifically) might cut his throat. Its just developed and worsened from there
@Spedly Really? Hm, if that was the case then I suppose I can understand why he'd stay away from food even more- but I thought I read even fruits and such were not even appealing to him any longer?
Yours is indeed a fascinating version of the story, never saw anything on it though.
@St0pTheNoise He said that it got to the point where he ate so little, that when he got to the point where he felt like he was going to pass out, hed eat a piece or 2 of fruit, just to stay conscious.
@patrickmarkd I wouldnt say Kurt had more, just different. He had a troubled youth and life in general so it was a lot of angst and aggression, whereas Daniel started with teenage problems and bullying, and it spawned into other things. Id say their amount of passion is equal, just portrayed differently
Dexter Holland The Offspring was the only long hair boy i love. That was donkey years ago when he was so much younger. Those braids are yummy on him. lol.
i hate all the "oh what a cutie" shitty comments... he was a rocker and you turn him into a pussy with all that...
have you seen "live from faraway stables" ? he asks the crowd to go crazy, sing and scream the rock songs and he just gets girlish screams from the crowd... it´s frustrating.
i'm serious... search for the vidz here at youtube. just type "faraway stables" and you should find them. I don't remember in which song he screams that, but at least you'll have a good moment listening to Silver's rock.
I feel you man. Silverchair were a respectable rock band. Today, all the girls only care about is Daniel and his looks. They want to marry him and have his babies. It's annoying. Get your hormones in check and appreciate the damn music and that's it.
:-O!!! *faints* OMG!!! He is so GODDAMN FUCKING CUTE!!! I would really, really melt!!! Golly, someone give me a water, I think I'm gonna have a heart attack, my heart is beating really really fast. I wana hug him tightly, I wish he was my teddy bear so I can hug him everynight when I sleep.
i love this song and the thing bens playing is so cool. and i agree daniel was cute and innocent and know he is differnt but he is hot and maybe he drinks to be free from the sadness he felt back then
What he's playing is a tunable percussion instrument called TIMPANI. You can have one timpani or... how much you of them you can pay. Ive seen orchestras with 8... They come in different sizes so you can reach higher or lower registries... I play them in the Symphonic Band of my university. They're awesome!!!!
what happened (not musically coz they've just got better and better) to Daniel? He used to be so cute and recently he just seems to be a big prick getting pissed, and stoned all the time and sleeping around and doing his stupid American accents.
it shows that growing up changes people not in a better way! Daniel really seemed to be so unusual guy before, now he seemes to be still extremely talented but more ordinary as a person, watching to videos like this one makes me happy and sad at the same time
My heart races watching this. I remember being obsessed with Daniel back then when I was in high school. Still love him to this day! Silverchair is awesome.
Here, you can see the Grunge influences. Before the POP take them away from us.

yeah you gotta take into consideration all the interviews and of course who was interviewing him, because usually that has a lot to do with how much he reveals. you don't repeatedly black out and still "not feel the need to eat" though i'm sure some days it was like he described in what you're saying. things like that can get worse and better and worse, ya kno?

Well, I had ana/mia and I actually liked feeling hungry. I still do. You get used to it, really.
When you enjoy eating and you eat you feel content, when I eat I feel bleh. So if what he said was true, then I can understand since I'm that way too.
I have to force myself to drink water even, most of the time I'm lucky to get down a waterbottle worth of water in a days time- sometime I don't even get that. I just don't "feel the need" for it though.
It's complicated. Very complicated.

@St0pTheNoise He stopped eating because he developed paranoia. Scared that people might poison his food at a restaurant, or that certain foods (he named cereal specifically) might cut his throat. Its just developed and worsened from there

@Spedly Really? Hm, if that was the case then I suppose I can understand why he'd stay away from food even more- but I thought I read even fruits and such were not even appealing to him any longer?
Yours is indeed a fascinating version of the story, never saw anything on it though.
St0pTheNoise 9 months ago
@St0pTheNoise He said that it got to the point where he ate so little, that when he got to the point where he felt like he was going to pass out, hed eat a piece or 2 of fruit, just to stay conscious.

Actually, it wasn't about his looks. It was about him having control over 1 thing in his life. He himself has stated this.

Honestly, think outside the square.
There will always be similarities within music.
Learn about the band before you make silly judgements such as that.

kurt had more mental problems
420yeehaw 2 years ago
@patrickmarkd I wouldnt say Kurt had more, just different. He had a troubled youth and life in general so it was a lot of angst and aggression, whereas Daniel started with teenage problems and bullying, and it spawned into other things. Id say their amount of passion is equal, just portrayed differently

No, it's replaced with a whole lot of beard.
He's not boy-like anymore... but I guess that is to be expected with age.
Now he is very... bear-like and manly.

i hate all the "oh what a cutie" shitty comments... he was a rocker and you turn him into a pussy with all that...
have you seen "live from faraway stables" ? he asks the crowd to go crazy, sing and scream the rock songs and he just gets girlish screams from the crowd... it´s frustrating.

Darkwolve123 3 years ago
Well, he is cute. I'd had let him bend me over quick... with how he looks now though, not so much.
But anyway, Isn't having female groupies the 'rocker' thing to have?
Seriously. It doesn't turn him into a pussy, it just means he's got a lot of it available to him.
I'm a girl, and at this point he was a sex god in my book.
St0pTheNoise 2 years ago 2
hell yeah!
i'm serious... search for the vidz here at youtube. just type "faraway stables" and you should find them. I don't remember in which song he screams that, but at least you'll have a good moment listening to Silver's rock.

I feel you man. Silverchair were a respectable rock band. Today, all the girls only care about is Daniel and his looks. They want to marry him and have his babies. It's annoying. Get your hormones in check and appreciate the damn music and that's it.

i love this song and the thing bens playing is so cool. and i agree daniel was cute and innocent and know he is differnt but he is hot and maybe he drinks to be free from the sadness he felt back then
seriouslyfreaky 3 years ago 2
What he's playing is a tunable percussion instrument called TIMPANI. You can have one timpani or... how much you of them you can pay. Ive seen orchestras with 8... They come in different sizes so you can reach higher or lower registries... I play them in the Symphonic Band of my university. They're awesome!!!!

what happened (not musically coz they've just got better and better) to Daniel? He used to be so cute and recently he just seems to be a big prick getting pissed, and stoned all the time and sleeping around and doing his stupid American accents.

it shows that growing up changes people not in a better way! Daniel really seemed to be so unusual guy before, now he seemes to be still extremely talented but more ordinary as a person, watching to videos like this one makes me happy and sad at the same time

I think his stupid American accent is so freakin funny. If you have seen interviews with them in America you would know that its an inside joke.
