Silverchair- Daniel Johns interview pt.3 (of 3)

[heatherdumas]

I talk like that. I'm a blabber mouth lol. That's what I love about him. Just pour it all out. Your fans are here to listen to it all. There are people who truly care about you, babe.

[CanIKeepYou96]

nice video quality. not.

[formlessmind1]

...just wanted to leave my trace here, it's deffinitely worth it...!

[nedarooni]

He's so incredible, I wish I could repay him for all his music has done for me; he changed my life, oceans apart! . . ."it's the best thing in the whole world."

[ShitBagProductions]

[Danimal77]

@ShitBagProductions

You do realize this was 5 years ago right?

[ShitBagProductions]

@Danimal77 yes but i want the grundge Daniel Johns

[Danimal77]

@ShitBagProductions

GRUNGE.....not GRUNDGE

[100Asphixiate]

Andrew Denton has got to be one of the best interviewers ever.

[libelle156]

denton is an amazing interviewer - i think because he actually cares about his subject, he's genuinely curious and concerned.

[GrungeMetalRocker]

wow he shaved his head.

[Painnnnful]

"I love Life, it's the best thing in the whole worl!" And then the look and the laugh he made, lol :D He is such a humorous and charismatic person, this was suppossed to be somewhat true, but overxaggeratedly true and somewhat sarcastic and ironic.

[Painnnnful]

OMG, he's so funny, he has such a great personality! :) And I can totally relate to his anorxia and all the thinking that's directly or indirectly related to that kind of mindset...

[pooisgood123]

[Painnnnful]

@pooisgood123 Oh, cut the crap off, nobody thinks you're funny, you're just throwing the words based on nothing and for no reason at all. Just provoking random people on you tube. You're known for not being liked, but you seem to be enjoying it. So go ahead, have fun if it makes you happy. But you should know that in reality other people just think you're stupid and pathetic and with no life outside of your little stinky bedroom filled with spoiled eggs smelling farts that repell even ants.

[pooisgood123]

@Painnnnful striikke 3 cunt, imma cumin aftr u cunt. gunna fuk ur silly shiit up!!!!!!

[Painnnnful]

@pooisgood123 Haha, you're so stupid! You obviously don't have anything btter to do, but I do, so do not expect any more comments from from now on.

[pooisgood123]

@Painnnnful I'll expect a comment regarding the incredible girth of your Mother's penis (;

[Danimal77]

@pooisgood123

Youre a 30 year old man talking like this? WOW, I hope this is all an act, because if not, please for God's sake, it's never too late to go to night school to learn how to write properly and while you're at it, don't have children.

[weirdotrece]

this is why he's my idol.

[airolg23]

I LOVE LIFE, IT'S THE BEST THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD

[livleloon]

he is so inspirational :) beautiful man. i suffer from depression and an eating disorder, and dan gives me some hope.

[1996Jacqui]

@livleloon thats a really nice thing to hear, keep fighting strong...i bet dan would be proud :)

[livleloon]

@1996Jacqui thank you, lovely person!

[1996Jacqui]

@livleloon no worries :) xx

[gassytank]

sorry its been a great time powderfinger, but this is the greatest musical mind of my australian time.

[iseececi]

He is such an amazing individual. I've loved his work since I was fourteen. It's been grand hearing his music change as he evolves. I am always so impressed with everything Silverchair does as a band. Daniel John's is one of my biggest inspirations, both musically and with life in general.

[Chadstravels]

I hope I can get over reiter's syndrome or 'arthritis' as they refer to it. I'm his age and always been his fan, which seems ironic; that I would first suffer from panic disorder, etc and now reiter's. Bless you all..!

[vividimagine]

i suffer from depression and daniel really helps me to see he is in a better place now thanks uploader

[zita162]

he speaks like a broken man...something scared him to death and doesn´t allow him to live without a feeling of guilt....but it´s his way and leads to very emotional and melancholic music..,there´s always a price to pay

[shnitzingiggle]

keep on keepin on daniel!!

[Aljax21]

christ whats wrong with that hair

[theairyaquarius]

Such a beautiful person inside and out. Xoxo

[cottoncase]

he is amazing.

[DontBotherTETRiS]

I can relate SO much to his Ana story, although I've never been diagnosed. We are so lucky he is still alive, he's an amazing human being.

[BobbyDBabee]

he has such little hands...

but he's still extremely adorable.

his accent is really hot.

he's funny.

and he is a total legend :)

[fanamire1]

A very insightful interview, thanks heaps for posting!

[Yeaahright]

He is my fucking idol, I had no idea what he went through !!! fame is really hard for children/teenagers. Even Christian Bale wanted to quit acting after starring in Empire of the Sun because other kids would make fun of him!! Can you imagine what a loss that would have been!

[BronzeXBombshell]

I commend you Daniel. More than you know..

[chuchitika]

madre mia k wenisimo ta

[BLueEyeButterfly]

overconfidence and over-insecurities.

thats so exactly right.

i think a lot of his comfort comes from finally understanding who he is a little better.

i love what he said about writing across the night too. he's so special and so is his music.

[SmellingDeadRoses]

i absolutly adore daniel johns. Such a kind inspirational and humorous human being. there's not a day that goes by when i dont look up to him. even now. thank you, a lot, for this video.

[TheSara90]

many ppl blame natalie for changing his music style, but i got strong feeling that she was the reason he got better

[dimebuckerpickups]

meth lab

[muse0x0]

Love his accent. :)

[TheDastardlyDildo]

oh no!! he turned into a nazi!

[DramaQueenBee]

i think he is such an inspiration, such a beautiful man

[SeanCurry79]

"I think life is the best thing in the whole world' LOL. Daniel is a bloody legend and yes, such an inspiration.

[37uber]

"Those kind of relationships are what makes life worth living" True True...

[notthatbasic]

I hope that I can end up as happy as he is here. My issues are pretty similar to the ones he dealt with.

[SeanCurry79]

You are a nob.

[Nebel305]

when was this?

[realpussycat]

"i love life, it's the best thing in the whole world.." i love Daniel's sense of humour

[CarriesNo1fan]

He was sooo sososo sweet and cute here.. I love his attitude. I know this man is still somewhere in there, he's just a bit wierd right now.. I miss this Daniel

[kittox2ya]

Denton, well done!

[Sidogg1]

across the night was written by god not by daniel johns he says so himself in this interview

[PeaceChick07]

Wow, that was just wonderful! I enjoyed this entire interview so much. Daniel is a rare find!

[seriouslyfreaky]

Dude i cant even talk to anyone about anything and here he is pouring his heart out how the hell does he have such courage and power

[tadeuvi]

what a poor guy.

music industry pressure almost killed him, pretty misarebla period,, i hope he is better

[BeautifulLatinName]

translate it*...

[BeautifulLatinName]

can you translate me please??

:S

[slipknotkittegrl]

that makes me sad that he hated music when he made neon ballroom... i love it

[MandieRenee07]

All the shit Daniel has been through, he hasn't given up. He is so AMAZING!!! I support him whole-heartedly in everything he does. I'd take away his pain if I could.

[chairlover721]

how bizarre would it be to be interviewed about such personal things in front of an audience.  He is brave and beautiful.

[metculousremiss]

I love Daniel... he's such a sweetheart!

[avlinebacker33]

is dANIEL JOHNS STILL THE SINGER TODAY

[AquariangyrL15]

yeah he is still the singer of Silverchair

[pooisgood123]

@avlinebacker33 Nah Tom Delonge is you fucking idiot!

[lennydadog]

@avlinebacker33 yes he is

[85jaded]

@avlinebacker33 ya silvechair n the Dissociatives

[GrungeMetalRocker]

@avlinebacker33

yes he sure is. he just looks so different now.. and sounds different now...

[iggygott]

he's telling all this touching and tragic stuff and still manages to make you laugh, he's really amazing

[caduteacher]

we do not need to be any genious to notice that his pronunciation is horrible in comparison to that of the interviwer! you know what I mean? Just like a young one trying to be the "cool" one...errr. Like him though

[thinspiration1]

Aww he's gorgeous

his smile.

you can just tell he's really happy.

haha his british accsent!

i loved it.

and him talking about waitrose.

okay if i go on i'll

just be re-typing the whole 10 minutes of it,

It was great thnks for posting it.

[caduteacher]

different fro many australlians i know. !that's my opinion, that might have no importance to the rest of the world.but i do not care. Luv you Daniel

[stellarlove21]

OK, Daniel Johns is not a drug addict, but he does have anxiety problems.. this is why he might smoke a little weed or drink a little beer before interviews or concerts. He talked about never performing again because he feels like a complete fraud on stage.

[FreddieFan176]

Hero.

[mexicanmayhem07]

He's so cute :)

[caduteacher]

his accent iso so wierd...not so clear

[gretskioner]

Err.. it's Australian? We're not all hard to hear..

[caduteacher]

I don't remember sayibg I did not know where was his accent from...errrrrr...and as I see it you might be an australian, so you would not be the fitting one to sat that your accent is not hard to understand, it might be easy to undersand it for you, coz you were born there...but anyway what i'm saying is that HE has a bad way of expressing, I mean...pronuncing the words...

[gretskioner]

Alright, I think I understand now.. Maybe bad audio quality?

[xXElMananaXx]

really? i heard and understood everything and English isn't even my 1st language.

[caduteacher]

everything but what I said! errrrrrr...

[xXElMananaXx]

You use errrrr way to much.

[caduteacher]

yeah...coz y know...some just deserve something even worse than that! errrrrr

[ellord]

maybe, considering australian a kind of leaguange

[zombella666]

Oh I love him.

[wirsindhelden0]

oh i love him so much

[TheNewFaceOfFailurex]

andrew denton is asking him questions.

daniel johns is answering them honstly.

how is that whining?

[morrisa2]

couldn't agree more! I love that he's been so open about everything. Amazing guy.

[JewelThieves]

thanks for posting this vdo! haven't seen any of his stuff since diorama but it's so good to see how happy and healthy he is. not to mention handsome lol

[dondon7gago]

hes still a musical genius...

[cooperthecamel]

A whiner shutup its Andrew Denton for fuck sake and his been through alot ive seen alot of musicians on this show whine more then he has

[saladdays1983]

Bit of a whiner isnt he...

[lovesbecks]

i saw somewhere daniel was saying kind of like the 'theme' of each album. he said Young Modern was pure euphoria.

Just goes to show how far he has come and how much he has achieved. A real inspiration. I admire this man.

[Kavonfl]

lol not knocking him, I think hes a great singer, but do you really admire drug addicts?

[lovesbecks]

i admire what he has had the strength to overcome.

[Kavonfl]

look at his apperance and his unhealthy yellow face now...do you really think hes overcome? You sound young.

[Edelien]

Im still wondering if it was 'Yoko' who got him in to weed or a doc, because weed can be used as medication to arthritis.

But as he himself has said "arthritis is a thing of the past." It's just that they say he's still smoking it...So why? If he has a hard time being himself without being on something, why not just use valium? 8D (weed is probably better tho...-_-)

[Kavonfl]

you honeslty think he dosnt smoke weed....lol hes in a band and from an area and lifestyle where its bohemian way

[bobtjustice]

Thats true... bear in mind this is an old interview. He was coming out of being anoxeric, and off anti depressants, which he happend to get addicted to. It not like he was break rocks of crack in nose.!

That said he looks super healthy now.. check out more recent interviews.

Health issues aside...this guy is a fantastic musician!

[14ledzeppelin14]

no this interview is after diorama, so hes actually just gotten out of the arthritis, not anorexia

[iceturtle17]

what a completely esoteric thing to say...just becuase he smokes weed doesn't mean he's an addict

[lilybotox]

neon ballroom is my favorite album of all time (he hated music) maybe he should try that one again.I hope they put out another album like that. daniel is awesome. a very inspirational person. i do really miss the more heavier rock stuff though. but nevertheless silverchair will always rock. god i wish he would have met me before nat.

[deprivedsoul7]

He is so much like me in many ways. I went through the samething that he did. And i also recovered,although i do get depressed from time to time.But for anyone who has this disorder don't give up hope there is help out there if you really want it.

By the way what do you guys think of his new look?

[Panadawn]

He really is best in interviews when he finds a funny joke or remark to make. So often he comes of as nervy and awkward, but once in a while, he makes a funny and the real him comes out - its much better. The Dissociatives interview on rove live where he handed out jelly beans was another good one.

[chairlover721]

I agree, that interview on Rove cracked me up ;) Great performance on that one too.

[graciepie01]

i looooooooooove this guy. he reminds me of certain personal demons i've had, and growing up he gave hope that u don't have to get things right the first time..... u can be a mental f*ck up like him, and now as a grown person u can say, "i'm natalie imbruglia's husband!" lol.... that's funny.... but i'll always remember him as the first rockstar who made me feel like i was somehow just like him.

[gorillaprintpepper]

He's really fidgety, like he doesn't feel comfortable being interviewed. I noticed that in almost all thier interviews, except back when they were kids. Anxiety'll do that, I guess, poor guy. Glad he's healthy these days.

[chairlover721]

I think he's generally a shy person. I would be nervous and fidgety too if I was on TV being interviewed about my personal life! But he's brave by doing it. Love this man.

[mexicanmayhem07]

Who wouldn't be? Most people I've seen being interviewed fidget to a certin degree.

[huneypee]

he doesn't like talking about his past I think. Becuase he moves around a lot, and feels uncomfortable...

[ghoul08]

soya!

[vibrantzoloft]

REAL musicians write the music they have inside them at the time and hope that others can find some connection to it also. They don't just keep trying to write whatever made them popular to keep 'old' fans or sell lots of records. Daniel Johns rocks!!

[AndyWenman]

Aliens are invading youtube?

I can hear R2D2 having an orgasm in the background half the way through this.

It's like its been shot in a spaceship.

[IAmHilarious]

That was Natalie with a voice changer.

[compressedgas]

I was hoping that they would perform... pent up rage is building up inside of me...being released out of the bowels of my rectum.

[PassionOfDenmark]

This is amazing. He reminds me of me.

[josielizabeth]

amazing.

[chairhed4evadj]

daniel is a musical genius not to mention his great personality and sense of humor. Thanks for posting this!

and if silverchair see this comment i would like to say you're the best band in the world and I've always liked your music,its changed and matured but equally as good

[lola3444]

it cute that he's nervous...

[dreadwing33]

inspiring...i've just started not to eat since last week....and now im planning to change my sick appetite...

[stellarmanda]

trippy sounds

[atarisdude]

I'd say they push those stupid celeb mags over here alot i must agree. C there is some that would regonise ya dan and others that won't. its a shame its like the british media gav up on silverchair after neon. i recall in a record shop some dude saying 'yea silverchair... they dont really exist anymore' & i was like 'the hav just release diorama u clueless prick' - well dat was then.

Just a shame Nat is more well known ova this side of the water.

anyways good interview :-)

[Boozal]

diorama is the best album you fags you guys suck, sure his old stuff is pretty good but diorama, he just nailed it you guys r just macho wannabe fags who dont get diorama kinda music your gay losers

[calmyafarm]

shut up faggot - we're allowed to dig what we want

[sorpresaantena3]

i got abit like this when i was a lil teenage.. and in highschool fucking years i use to get dizzy spells with strees in the 90's and today 2007 i feel light headed as if i would of been drunk or not drinking enough water instead over redbull and coke.

[RoskoeP]

great, now that you're alive and well, can you get back to rocking like you did on Freak Show, and stop making shitty music?

[AquariangyrL15]

Dude u obviously don't respece the chair cuz they have grown so much since the Frogstomp days!

[RoskoeP]

sucky music does not equal "growth" my man. I've logged 18 hours of drive time, just to see SChair, so dont question me knowing the band. the music has sucked since Imbruglia came on the scene.

[AquariangyrL15]

Ok I won't question your knowing the band but if theyhave sucked since Imbruglia came on the scene, why u still a fan and why the hell do you go around youtube dissing their music. If anything, your tastes of have just changed.

[RoskoeP]

I am a fan of anything pre-Diorama. my taste is the same, their music is drastically different from when they rocked. by the way, you're on Tube responding to all my posts.

[lbwsampson]

I don't think it's that they make 'shitty' music now--they've just grown up. They were what, 17 or so when they made Freak Show? Maybe younger? Everyone's mad at the world when they're 17. You go through shit, you come out of shit and you move on to better things. Angsty, minor chord-driven, aggressive-sounding music speaks naturally of harder times, not of butterflies and unicorns. Daniel Johns doesn't suck and doesn't make shitty music--he just became happy.

[TMoore48]

You've hit the nail on the head mate, Growing as an artist and getting better with time

[Duchy0901]

He is such a great bloke, I am so happy that he got away from AnA and that song helped me through the same thinghe went through, I got to 98 pounds and now I am 125 so I am happy and eating a lot better.

He looks so hot and gosh he is funny, His wife is lucky to have such great guy.. well he is also lucky to have a hot girl.

Thanks so much for putting this on here.

Love,

Diana XX

[rsjaGirl]

I admire him so much. Dan is so sweet, nice and he's always so funny even after everything he's been trought. I'm really happy for him. The most adorable and strong-minded man ever.

[dina81]

Wow he's changed so much. I'm so glad he's overcome his personal demons and is enjoying life now. I was really surprised with some of the things he said... like how he hated music when he wrote neon ballroom... that was shocking. He's amazing. Natalie Imbruglia is a very lucky woman!!

[samirobles]

I hate him so much now..

he's become a major douche bag!

[AquariangyrL15]

wow strong words...u came to that conclusion how now?

[buggzau]

translation: you want him to stay in a mess. seeing people hpapy makes you angry.

[CechForever]

He is a great bloke..he has so much of personality(funny guy..so adorable )..I think it is very brave of him to make it through those days..love him a lot! I am so glad that he is healthier now.

[poobustank]

man, that was really really cool... and i can agree that the "i was just there" statement was really, really inspiring

[mudchair16]

The Dissociatives music is really brilliant, you just need to LISTEN to it.

[Drifco]

You wanna know what he would've written if he liked music? Listen to his Dissociatives album with Paul Mac. You'll know what I mean. I love this guy.

[daianamacedo]

Wow! He hated music when he wrote neon ballroom... I wonder what would've came out if he was liking music...

This guy is a genius...

[HarleyBeans]

... and now since being to hell and back he's fine, still good looking, obviously talented and oh yeah is married to Natalie Imbrughlia. I hate him.

[HarleyBeans]

I think it's very brave of him to be so candid about something so personal like this. He's a hero to all guys who are slightly 'different' from the average bloke. You know the type who are a bit feminine and camp but totally straight but are always judged by wankers. And for guys who have had similar health problems - which is hard for a young man to reveal. In that sense Johns has got balls bigger than any alpha male.

[chairlover721]

exactly. I love men who are in touch w/their feminine side. It tells me that they're secure in their sexuality and themselves. Alpha males are terribly unattractive to me and likely to be closet homosexuals.

[mexicanmayhem07]

Same here. I don't like those guys with bug huge muscles.

[lassekasse]

Good to see him so cheerful. He`s an amazing musician and  it`s so nice to see him healthy again!

[radicalnation]

"I didn't write that song--I was just 'there.'"

That statement changed my life fo' reeeall. My hero.

[danaj76]

This is great, thanks for uploading it. I love seeing new Daniel stuff. Do you have part 1? I'd love to see that too!

[AquariangyrL15]

Ok parts 1 and 2 are now up so go watch! ^.^

[danaj76]

Thanks so much for letting me know! Very sweet.
