Silverchair, Straight Lines Live on Leno 07-10-07, Sorcere

Silverchair performing their great 'Straight Lines'. But, to be honest, I don't understand what happened to Daniel's voice.

Daniel Johns is god, stop writing anything else.

Considering he had a really bad case of laryngitis and could easily have chosen NOT to perform, I think Daniel did BRILLIANTLY. Truly dedicated to his art and professional promo, I completely and utterly admire him for doing this. He has a LOT of guts. Truly courageous. I have adored Silverchair for over a decade, seen them live 5 times and met them all twice. He is so sweet and lovely in person! =)

They toured to hell and back cause of private recording label production and lack of major label advertising, voice has to go bust, not a matter of if, it's when! Pretty awesome head voice, for someone with laryngitis.

LOL Is this band Shilverchair???? D:

[TrillionGrams]

frankly I think I like this screaming version more than the original. But, yeah, big gamble on his part performing like this. I'm glad it didn't ruin him.

[LoserNumber34]

at 0:55 you can see Daniel look back and just like "yeah, this is tough" because of his laryngitis...

Love him lots still.

Poor guy he tried so hard.... you can tell he was sick! RESPECT!

I love Silverchair. As a musician, I admire his courage for performing with laryngitis, but at the same time, he took a massive gamble performing like that. He could've permanently damaged his vocal chords. I respect his audacity, but I don't think it was worth the risk.
