Silverchair fuckin sucks !! Daniel Johns died in 1999 ! This is a cyborg

[y0udiedyesterday]

i dont like it when he's shirtless. i know he's healthy and all.but...

[totocao]

04:39 what the fuck was that?

[MsStormcrow]

when i watched him sing this in vancouver in 99, I was lucky enough to get in to see their sound check, and my knees went out it was so powerful!

he's still into it but it's not the same, where is the raw emotion?

i love silverchair and want daniel to to giver again, scream and grunt and more like 4:27

[torycicciari]

@MsStormcrow he's in a positive frame of mind these days he's passed all the depression which took him over back in the neon ballroom days

[MsStormcrow]

@torycicciari Yeah I get what your saying & don't get me wrong silverchair has been my favorite band for 15 years, but it's not the same as it was, I mean diorama was positive but still amazing, emotional, and genius! and his singing isn't the same caliber as it was, it's like he's doing this weird talky singing now & not really belting it out like he used to, it seems like he's not as emotionally invested in his music and lyrics. I don't really know how to accurately verbalize how it's changed

[torycicciari]

@MsStormcrow could be that he's having fun out there these days and not concentrating on singing every note perfect. He is still an amazing singer just doesnt have the pain in his voice anymore

[MsStormcrow]

@torycicciari I know he has a amazing voice, Like I said I've loved silverchair for 15 years, and I still do!

I'm just saying it's different now, both live and on the albums, and I miss the way it was in neon ballroom and diorama, I wish he'd trade the synthesizers for a string section. Just a matter of preference, but nothing could EVER stop me from loving silverchair.

[torycicciari]

@MsStormcrow me too i will support them in what ever music they make, all their material is pure genious

[MsStormcrow]

@torycicciari I will always support them too.

[tropcis]

eso tdos lo sabemos

a no es facil afinar sus tonos y hechar coto

XD

[420Guitar420]

I think Silverchair is one of best live bands out there and Daniel Johns has amazing stage presence...this performance on the other hand, by far the worst I've seen by Johns. Maybe a little too much whiskey in between songs.

[tzcxgfyt]

0:07 (fuck off u dirty scrag! u ruined silverchair)

[tbrucethao]

I'm disappointed with this concert. To me personally it seems more like he was mocking his own music.

[citylights72]

His guitar was fuck out of tune.

[dreadbet]

what happen to him and this show?

man

sometimes I think that daniel went to rehab

he didn't had anorexia

anorexia my ass

was fuckin heroin, fuckin drugs :)

[420Guitar420]

i've been starting to think that too. I mean look at his lyrics since frogstomp, so many references to drugs, especially Cocaine. He wrote a song called stoned lol. It may have been anorexia and drug addiction for all we know. Still a musical genius though....except for Young Modern.

[jsfrulz]

definitely not a good night...

[danieljgavigan]

it sounds like a bad cover band :(

[babycodi05]

still as powerful as the recording...

wow silverchair..

[tropcis]

tan inmenso

silver chair si es de verdad¡¡wow que talento¡¡

[kennyvp]

Gente , o que houve com a voz do Daniel??Eu ouvi falar que "ele tomou anabolizante , por isso a voz dele simplismente "estragou" , e seus pelos corporais engrossaram e aumentaram consideravelmente, como pode-se ver nas fotos dele de 2003 e de hoje , onde seus cabelinhos do peito eram poucos e hj são muitos"

SERA QUE ISSO É VERDADE?ELE FOI TÃO IDIOTA ASSIM?

[dirrx]

umm, where did you hear that?

I've never heard anything about him taking anabolics

I guess he's just gotten older and more hairy, LOL :) that's pretty natural :)

[kennyvp]

eu vi num tópico no orkut =)

[dirrx]

well, hopefully it's not true, why would he do that?

[kennyvp]

eu também não sei porque ele faria isso , mas , se tomou anabolizantes , foi pra ficar forte né? já que ele era magrinho.. hahahah.. mas eu prefiro ele antes, magrelo , do que hoje em dia!;)

[dirrx]

yeah, it sounds quite logical, but I guess he's intelligent enough not to take this junk, esp. considering his health problems

and he's not that beefy now, anyways, he's still pretty skinny...

regarding your last sentence: yeah, me too :), but he's doing much better now and that's what matters :)

[ivanbrfr]

é, espero que ele não tenha feito essa burrice mesmo. mas acredito que seja uma grande mentira isso.

[dirrx]

yeah, exactly

[ivanbrfr]

are you learning to speak portguese at youtube, man ?!

hahahahah

[dirrx]

hehe, I'm trying to :-) but I would be happy to be able to just read it at first, haha :)

cheers :)

[tmobilon]

Drunk and out of tune.

[anecsey]

GUITAR O U T O F T U N E...

Back then in the past Daniel would never play a song with a out of tune´s guitar. Poor Daniel, this motherfucker Paul Mac hurt him really bad. Making him a stupid.

He was so amazing, now he´s a jerk. Came with that crap young modern,...Man that was really patetic, After Diorama, any thing is shit.

[fratjoke]

You're a fucktart

[anecsey]

You´re the retard actually. If you dont see the out of tune you dont know a shit of guitars or maybe you re deaf. If you heard something of Dan´s playing style from the last ten years, well man, Daniel plays so clean a perfect, he´s a great guitar player,An amazing singer... But this ...?? Young Modern ?? Its like Midnight Oil meeting Kula Shaker with Mika on the vocals. That´s disgusting. Believe me, I´am a huge fan of chair since 1995, and I deeply believe that you can´t say that..

[fratjoke]

I was just wsaying that he sounds fucken awesome.

[totocao]

4:40, what a hell was that??

que porra foi que ele fez aos 4:40?

incrivel como ele perdeu a voz!! mto louco nesse video!

[dirrx]

um, quite sad, actually

obviously, their "no-alcohol before the show" policy is no longer in effect

drugs and alcohol are not the way

[totocao]

he's so fucking drunk in this video!!

Bebadasso!!!

[lk23prrs]

arrecha esta cancion, pero este tipo tenia mejor voz cuando estaba karajito que hacia canciones que le exigian mas esfuerzo vocal... suena feo aqui...

[michaellovegrove]

ive been playing this song, and ive worked out that the high e (which is Db in this song) is flat

[K9999KingOfFighters]

krak a voz du danniel ta grossa pra kcti

[michaellovegrove]

arghh, out of tune :| :| :|

but the show must go on

[Ichimaru91]

one of his guitar string is out of tune. And Daniel Johns himself is totally out of tune ... Bummer 'cause this is one of their greatest song ever.

[allendown]

i luv chair and this song

but he messed it all up this time

[spscotto]

i think he struggled throughout this entire show... oh well, probably an off night for what is usually a spot-on performer

[schieese]

Tá machão ele agora hein. rsrs

[ivanbrfr]

hehehehe

[craigusss]

this is horrible, whats happened daniel...whats happened...

out of tune guitar

horrible and bizzare voice

[noway876]

This is quite honestly the first out of tune Daniel Johns performance I have EVER seen!

Which is of course a compliment to him, Dan/his guitar tech are amazingly good at making everything sound/stay in tune.

(How do you even tune a B string up to C# ???)

[musicsquid]

its only 2 semitones

[lasfinisimas]

Ha! Daniel was out of tune and tried to correct the guitar in the intro but he mistaked and ben was like...ohh fuck

[Conradfinkler]

paul mac is the biggest bogan i can't stand seeing his doofus grin. I hate him!

[sonson88]

Gah DAMN PAUL MAC CUT YOUR FUCKIN MULLET.

[shrawn]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Took the words right outta my mouth! I can't count how many times I've said that!

Thank God Dan's voice has almost recovered. He needed this warming up time.

Honestly cigarettes fucked up his voice. the "Beg you" part sounded so horrible.

Ah. Love them dearly.

[Musique68]

Watch your mouth dumb ass...I don't think any part of it sounds "horrible" and don't forget, he kicks ass on guitar, he's never lost that and he's a guitar genius regardless of what his voice sounds like. He focused on getting his health back for a while and God bless him for that:)

[radicalnation]

Most of 2006 was sort of a "warming up" period for Daniel as a singer, it seems.

Listen to any of the recent stuff--he got it all back.

[Musique68]

Yes, I agree with you, he sounds great on the ones I've watched from their LA performance in Feb:)

[imsohawwt]

I love Neon Ballroom! Definitely my favourite album. I don't deny he is an amazing singer, but sometimes I hate how he uses his voice: especially live, and on the new album

[RoskoeP]

aww, isnt that little piano/organ/keyboard sooooo cute?? they should do nothing after Neon ballroom

[artesguitars]

Great.

[pseudowunderkind]

this is wicked!

[mattroch]

He clearly struggles a little more vocally than he used to... Singing the way he did for the past 12 years will do that to your vocal chords. Frogstomp and Freak Show are clearly their worst 2 albums. Lyrically, instrumentally, vocally, just worse. Ballroom and Diorama...A+++. This performance is ok, but the performances of this song from 2002 + 2003 just blow it away.

[marcquin83]

it's nice if silverchair bring back their music in a freak show era=)

[dwreck311]

When I said For sure!!. I meant his voice was kinda rusty on this song!!

[Luvyourlife]

paul mac is a great piano player, and a good asset, wtf is all the hating on Macky coming from??? someone tell me!

[scdrewy]

he rawks!

[UKNOWIT88]

mac's an asshole! lol, jk, w/e, gtg, ttyl!

[AnnIsMyHero]

hey i never liked him that much either but why does everyone hate him? clue me in pweeze?

[buggzau]

i think people hate the band because so many people like it.. and in life when some people adore something, anything.. these haters like to go up and take a big dump in their cornflakes and then walk off with a smug expression on their faces.

[buggzau]

but as to paul mac i think people hate him because they dont like the direction the past two albums have taken.. so they blame him for it. some think he's a threat to silverchair and that the new sound is the evil influence of the mac attack !

[SuicidalDreamer]

kill paul mac go!

[wedja]

eita o cara ta todo fortin, tomou todin xD

[srdmusic54]

His guitar was out of tune on the intro and their timing was off on the cymbal crash. I think they just might have been rusty. I hope he quits singing so wacky. you can tell he still has it but maybe he's bored with the songs.

[dwreck311]

for sure!!!!

[tialis]

sensacional.

[BERERANGEL]

Love this video!! he's insane.. I wanna hear you scream like a bunch of angry ladies.

One more thing, would somebody please kick paul mac out of the stage?

[Lillipad]

Kick Paul Mac off the stage? I'll do it. Gladly. lol

[haydzbabe]

i agree with you there

but all of the albums have been unique, so you cannot compare them. The new silverchair album is going to be awesome and will probably sound nothing like any of the previous ones, so get over it. Stop living in the past, daniel isnt.

(i agree, get rid of paul mac)

[ClearEyed]

"Neon Ballroom" was the first really good record they did. the first two albums were kids being led by their label to do what was popular at the time

as for those saying Daniel's voice isn't what it used to be, you're right, it used to be a horrid hybrid of Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder with an australian accent

now he sounds like Daniel Johns

"Young Modern" sounds

amazing from the clips floating around.

they grew up.

I mean, it's been 12 years!

[anabellaexorcist]

I've listened to this video about 10 times now, and the harmony at the beggining sounds amazing...but then again every time i've watched it i've been drunk

[Drifco]

They'll find their sound and their image again, you'll see. It's been so long since they toured or even played together extensively.

[Gursalug]

Dude seriously needs to grow some hair back to better his image. He also needs to remember where he came from and quit trying to be a more mature band. It reminds me of when Pearl Jam was making great records, then just about everything else went to shit until they realized what the hell they were doing wrong.

[eli0125]

kick paul mac out of the band

[StaySafeTonight]

agreed! and tune your fucking guitar dan!

[saizelovesRK]

I wanna hear you scream like a bunch of angry men!

[mintymaggot]

Hey, is a song from their new album or something?

[scdrewy]

It's from Neon Ballroom (1999)

[bballfreak10]

how can you not know that its from neon ballroom?

[MrPaulLetendre]

They just don't sound as tight as they did a few years ago. I mean, this performance is ALRIGHT, but that's it...just alright...so so. Daniel needs to sing better, and the band needs to get their groove back.

[chaser180]

well.. daniels voice isnt what it once was, but this is listenable if i cancel out that out of tune string and what paul mac has to contribute.

cant wait for album 5!!
