Even if the guys were uncomfortable with the over-affection, they handled it in a mature manner. A lot of adults would have just pushed Mr. Helfgott off of them. I swear these guys handled fame at an early age like champs. Yes Daniel had serious issues, but he chose life.
i love the bit where david helfgott hugs his wife and she runs her fingers through his hair i hope i can still be like that with my partner when were their age <3
David Helfgott is more proof that the most disturbed people can be the most brilliant people you've ever met. I want to hug and kiss him for helping with Emotion Sickness. It wouldn't be the same without his help. And of course, Daniel is brilliant as hell. His words are absolutely poetic. What a beautiful song.
I remember I have a VHS version of this entire tape that my uncle brought back for me from Australia. That's when I first found out that Emotion Sickness even had a video.
Of course, at that time I wouldn't have imagined someone would answer my prayers and something you Youtube would be created.
@hanakimi87 didn't mean to be offensive, just have a bad habbit of cursing a bit... It just wondered me a bit... But if he can kiss Daniel, then yes, he can kiss whoever the fuck he wants lol. Didn't know he had a mental ilness either.
Glad that Daniel and him could make brilliant work together.
Aaaw, David Helfgott hugging Daniel Johns. Both such sweeties and makers of incredible music. I really feel for Dan here, he was suffering greatly. I understand, gorgeous boy xx
NorthCentralMass, go rent the movie "Shine" which is about the life of David Helfgott, the "creepy" guy you speak of, who happens to be one of the worlds most brilliant and reclusive pianists to every walk the earth. he played piano better than most masters by the age of 5 and suffers from a rare form of autism as well as Schizoaffective disorder, look it up if you don't know all of the details of what that actually is and does to a person.
Daniel Johns just floors me. When he first appeared I thought, yeah, another Nirvana wanna be grunge group. Over the years, Silverchair has evolved and evolved again, in ways few bands are capable of. Their music keeps changing, showing more and more growth and skill, and here is Daniel, one of the most beautiful men on this planet, an incredibly gifted songwriter, guitarist, with a vocal range that is unparalled - an awesome man in so many ways. Makes my jaw drop.
@no1zgrl4eva that;s exactly why Silverchair was doomed.....He was TOO much of a talent. Now he's doing other stuff than Silverchair because of that. But don't worry...they will reunite again in a few years. Won't be long.
Uh. Wow. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Depression, even the kind that creates heartfelt masterpieces like Neon Ballroom is no walk in the park. The music has metamorphosed with the band. I don't understand why people can't embrace/appreciate that. O_o
yeah, i know who he is and that he's schizoaffective and that's why he acts like this, very open-heartedly, no disrespect meant, he's a great musician
@lllaurenlll daniel was clearly on speed during this album. It explains how his writing was just musically superior and also explains his anorexia. Amphetamine = increased wakefulness and focus in association with decreased fatigue and appetite
@TheSara90 it was a bonus cdrom that came with a limited edition of NB, you probably still find it on the net, that's how I got mine. it's called "inside neon ballroom".
so dont call me a superchair freak (wel i guess u could) but when i was reading "A New Tomorow - The Silverchair Story" by Jeff Apter, Daniel said that Mr. Helfgott grabbed his crotch!
man dave helfgott is so fascinating, no wonder little daniel didn't mind some kisses. that bloke's freakin legendary. wish i was crazy but i haven't got the skills to go crazy.
wow, I've heard this song so many times but they dont look like how I imagine when they are recording it, its so neat to see it. One of my favorite silverchair songs.. thanks for posting
Oh my God, thank you so so so so so much for posting! By the end of this I had tears in my eyes, it was so touching, especially the part where you see David Helfgott kissing and cuddling everyone. Ben looks really uncomfortable, but it's so sweet. David is such a kind, gentle man. This was great.
yeah - david is THE man - he's so cool and he cracks me up! I like that shine movie but it couldn't do his kick ass personality justice and I can't blame them cos he's really one of a kind! besides I always loved the way he plays the piano. yeah and the boys are so cute when get cuddled by him cos they are kind of uncomfortable with all these passionate strokes but at the same time flattered and amused... so funny and sweet!
Emotion Sickness was a "sneaker" for me...I didn't really get into it until about the 10th time I'd heard it...and then it was like getting hit in the face...brilliance.
Oh, I've never seen this before - thank you for posting it! 'Emotion Sickness', to me, is what takes 'Neon Ballroom' from a good album to a brilliant one. So much effort went into a song that was never released as a single.
"...and he can't stop kissing and I had a few kisses, he was good looking and I was happy with it" haha so cute and funny and the way dan pronounces "kiss" is driving me CRAZY!!! so adorable. and eventhough I use to go more for the heavier ones - emotion sickness is one of the most impressive and best chair songs, I love it since I heard it the very first time.
AMAZINNNNNGGGG!!! I LOVE THIS!! Thank you for posting it!
One of my fave songs of all time! It is just so........near perfection for me. I have always related to it for all of these years and probably always will.
David Helfgott did just an amazing job as well.
Thanks again eatingcandy, favorited without a doubt:)
thanks, you're welcome! I love the song, I love david helfgott (and not only for his skills lol) and I definitely laughed my ass off watching this the first time
Holy Crap!! It's David Helfgott!! I'm focusing on him more than the lead singer. lol
