I Hope SILVERCHAIR comeback again !

[@emmamcdonald1611]

No let them develop lives and music beyond that origin. If it happens that has to be organic.

[@commiehunter733]

Daniel is too posh for the chair now... unfortunately

[@mattanimation]

It's bonkers to think how many people have the same sort of experiences across the world that all stem from the same source. You indeed have made an impact in the world.

You are a true talent and from one australian to another i'm proud of you and when you feeling down and going through some stuff just know that your fans care about you mate all the best for the future.

[@ztacy]

You inspire me everyday @@DanielJohnsHQ

[@bronwendavies9356]

What a decent, articulate, brilliant human being you are Daniel Johns. Truly a global superstar from your first days of Silverchair and now as a solo "artist". I am a lifelong fan from Lake Macquarie, Australia. I saw Silverchair live at Newcastle Entertainment Centre during the Diorama tour and I will never forget it. My twin sons who are now 24, have grown up with the music from when they were wee little men as Silverchair's music is on high rotation in our home. One of them even has your brilliant album "Talk". Love Futurenever. Thank you.

[@willowtree3305]

Discovering Silverchair this year is the best thing thats ever happened to me. Every life affirming performance + album is a 100/10. Never connected to any other music or lyrics more than his - Fucking amazing. You can't even describe the albums because they're otherworldly - every album is fucking GODLY. It's fucking insane how good this music is, like I could cry. Get fucked, I can't believe I missed out on this shit for 23 years lol. Daniel you're a true musician and human, best music I've literally ever heard - Diorama made me want to live again

[@BryanHRBrodie]

I agree 100%. Pulled me out of a hole more times than I remember. Starting at album 1 right through was a journey of amazing joy and catharsis.

[@willowtree3305]

@@BryanHRBrodie I wholeheartedly agree, you said it perfectly. I randomly came across a 1999 concert video and was blown away by it, especially Suicidal Dream. I then listened to the studio version on Frogstomp and remember thinking this is nothing compared to the live version.. Through more concerts (I think I've watched every one on youtube lol) I realised every performance of theirs is unrealistically good like better than any music I've ever heard. Then I listened to Freakshow and thought wow, this describes my life perfectly.. Then Neon Ballroom described my life even more perfectly. Then Diorama just hit it out the ballpark. Like each album just got better and realer. It's literally hilarious how good their music is, like I still can't believe it. I only just listened to The Dissociatives this week as I've been trying to fathom the other albums for the past 8 months haha. Also just listened to I Can't Believe It's Not Rock and the song Rain has me in a bloody chokehold. This shit is crazy. They have set the bar way too high for other artists lol this musical talent is truly unrealistic like in my 23 years of life I've never heard anything this moving or emotionally real. It's truly shocking

[@BryanHRBrodie]

@@willowtree3305 you are spot on again. They nailed it live every single time. I play guitar a little and how daniel sings and plays some of those chords especially on later albums blows me away. I'm 38 and started playing guitar because of how I felt hearing nirvana for the first time. I can't believe I missed silverchair but im pretty certain I would have heard freak and tomorrow when I was younger but somehow it passed me by until lockdown. Every time I put freak on the stereo or played the riff on guitar my 2 year old would drop everything and start head banging. I'm definitely gonna check out those songs you mentioned. I appreciate your like mindedness. A lot of people are only interested in the first 2 albums but if they only gave the other albums a chance they would surely come around to the genius of Daniel Johns.

[@willowtree3305]

​@@BryanHRBrodie I had that same feeling too watching Nirvana's Unplugged performance, was immediately hooked. Learning their discography has been amazing - honestly the best band ever. Got my first guitar a few months ago & its taken me that long just to learn Come As You Are, they make it look so easy! The fact they can play that well & sing at the same time is wild, it's so much harder than I thought! Did you watch tutorials on youtube to learn Freak? Thats so awesome your kid is loving music too! I see people comparing Kurt & Dan but their music/singing couldn't be more different, only similar thing is the honest songwriting, having no limits in expressing their emotions & life experiences, the unique & creative, sometimes even funny lyrics. Basically I just love how their songs are about life - relatable yet taboo topics people don't often openly discuss.. It's so healing to listen to. I also love how they stood up for the right things & used their platforms for positive change. I reckon Kurt would've loved Silverchair for sure. I also heard songs like Greatest View & Straight Lines on the radio growing up but never knew who it was or took much notice of it. When I listened to the albums I was shocked that I recognised some of them & have been hearing these songs my whole life. Even seeing the Young Modern cd cover brought back memories of 2007 being a kid seeing it in supermarkets/promoted on tv, yet I never truly acknowledged it. I also love Daniel's song 'Going on 16', it has a cool music video too. I think their best music video is Without You, its so beautiful, such a breathtaking meaningful song. I like all genres so I can vibe to all his music, but I've definitely seen the people who only like the first 2 albums & its their loss! I also find with the Nirvana fans most of them really hate Courtney Love, I think her band Hole is incredible & her songwriting & performances are fantastic, to me Hole's music is up there with Dan and Kurt! As someone who didn't grow up with rock/alternative music, its great finding these new bands, currently loving Dookie by Green Day and Adore by Smashing Pumpkins. If you have any recommendations for any music I'd give anything a go

[@MRynbout]

As a lifelong Silverchair fan,, I'm so happy that this band and Daniel continue to pull in more fans! It's fantastic. So glad you got to discover them! It's bloody great when you discover an old-but-new-to-you band or artist. You get to approach their music with complete freedom and no historical baggage. You appreciate the music on its own merits. I discovered the Beatles recently (Daniel's a big fan) and like you, kicking myself that I missed out on so many years of their music! Anyway, better late than never right?

[@SandraBonamigo]

It’s incredible to note, despite the battle of mental health issues (in an era where it still was a taboo!!) and despite the physical health issues, first and foremost: Daniel’s UNPARALLELED ability to take the pain and transmute it in the most profound and meaningful ART, WHILE he was struggling with it! TIMELESS art that will never cease to make sense. Daniel, you are one of the most STRONG and inspirational beings on this earth!! Being true to yourself teaches the ill society we all live in the most important lesson! We love you.

[@jeffbair9069]

As a dysfunctional member of the musical society, I totally get what you try to express in your music, art, and even the much dreaded interviews!!! You just need to remember you are a real person and your journey is honest and you are being real with yourself!!!! Screw what society thinks, and embrace your journey!!!. Music has always been therapy for me. People, friends and critics don't always get it. But that's ok. My musical journey has taken me to some very dark places, but I always came out on the other side. I came from an abusive home life and music was my escape. But through my journey it has become my survival!!!! It doesn't matter if I am successful, because what I do is part of my journey. It helps me grow as a person and deal with my past on a positive level!!! I was a big 'Silverchair' fan, but I am a bigger fan of your present journey, Because it's the real Daniel!!!! Much love to you Daniel, and I hope you are getting the healing you need or want!! You are very talented and don't you forget it!!!!

[@aroseparade]

So happy for Daniel! His tunes have gracefully carried me through the years! ❤

[@Crinkle65]

[@ashpure01347]

I love you man, it doesn't matter which musical path you've taken, the important thing is that you do what you like, what you feel happy doing. Just stay alive, don't leave us, we've lost them all, Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, among many others.. you are a living legend, no matter what they say, you will always be better than you are propose to do, never forget that. your talent is gigantic, it doesn't matter if it's rock or pop, you're very good, I'm your fan!!

Just in case, probably someone have already told this to you, anyways... You are made of GOLD. You are the GOLD STANDARD unbeatable to this time. If you disagree with my statement above, then I have ti say you are extremely precious to all of us, anonymous people, walking by, driving around, on a subeay, on a beach, thinking... No one makrs MUSIC as they musicians used to to do in the 90s till early 2000s. RAW, unapologetic powerful songs like very few dared to di. May be using a piano or a banjo, or guitars to communicate emotions with such frankness that whoever went or is going through a similar situation described in the lyrics, immediately feel like "Somebody else has been through this before - meaning that, I can go through walking till I find the light." At first glance, those brutally truthful, honest songs may sound bad, generate repulsive feelings until you realize no one can speak so accurately about "topic" without been there before. Then the song becomes very familiar and you understand, although it is about suffering or something else, it had to be done that way, the best way to express something, feelung, moments, experiences etc. THANK YOU DANIEL JOHNS. YOU ARE SHINING DIAMOND.

[@jadaatkinson1201]

Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us Daniel. I've been through some pretty messed up crap starting from when I was pretty young. I really had no one I could talk to, but the music was always there. Music has always been my love, and it gave an outlet to get some of the poison out of my system to be able to go the next day. Hope you're well, and much love and respect to you.

[@Goldcityvideo]

Daniel, thank you for all of your work. ALL OF IT. I was 6yo in 1995 when my sister gave me my very first CD for Christmas: a neat little package that had a big green frog on it. You’re the bees knees my friend, and my love and affection for music and bands started with YOUR band! Never ending support from North Carolina, US!

[@lucidityandtealeaves]

I love that in this docuseries , the exhibit & insta we get to hear the slightly different versions of the tracks. Just like how it was always different back in the day when you used to play live. You have no idea how much I appreciate that! Thanks for keeping it interesting, always! Loved hearing more from the guys about D4NGRSB0Y absolute killer track! That sound at 9:40 needs it’s own emoji, such a fkn vibe!

[@TheMattJacks]

Daniel, Ben, Chris, your art made me. I was 1 year younger than you when I first heard "Tomorrow." It was great as a kind of post-grunge experiment. You all, with Van Dyke Parks, have made music I share with the kids. Introduction a 20 year old to "Across The Night," or "Tuna in the Brine," "Open Fire," and more, and watching their faces as they recognize the artistic perfection you 3 embodied....makes me tear up. You were why I grew my hair out. Why I wanted a PRS, a Soldano Head, and why I got serious about music. I saw you once in Houston, with Ammonia in the 90's for the "Freak" tour. "Cemetary...." "Faultline" was gold. "Undecided," I lived. I deeply deeply appreciate your artistic contribution, cultural contribution, and soul put into chords and an effortlessly perfect voice. You saved me. I love you all so very much. If you read this, just know...LEGACY, INTACT.

It’s also sad to know the rest of us outside Oz will never see this exhibition, even though we have been part of the real supporters since 1995. Still have most of the old LAS merch and pix with them back in the mid 90s with their mums.

[@le_maxarus]

Daniel blocked me on Instagram and I'm so sad. I never had any interactions with him whatsoever so I don't know why that happened. Tried to reach him to solve it, it must be a mistake, but there was no answer. I wonder if it somehow means something good in a weird way. I don't know. Still following him from another IG account and watching this channel. Listening to FutureNever every week. Loved it. Always loved his music since I was a child. Loved this docuseries aswell. It's always good to see you Dan, you are an inspiration in many ways to all of us! Please keep on creating art! Thanks!

I introduced my two daughters to Silverchair & Daniel Johns 6 months ago. They are 13yrs and 9yrs and both have found an amazing "New" artist in their minds. My wife first took them both to the FutureNever exhibition and they loved it... Fast forward 2 weeks and I took them for a second time myself and it was an eye opening experience. Some of the things my kids pointed out was interesting to say the least and their artistic desires are growing every day. We know Dan says he will never perform LIVE again, so on behalf of your fans mate, thanks again for what you've produced in the past, present and in the future.

Man, sit at a table and talk to Ben and Chris. I think you are not obliged to reconcile, but play fair to each other. You guys grew up together, you lived through so many things, why can't you have a half hour conversation? Settle things like adults, don't create murmurs in the press. Just the opinion of a Brazilian fan who loves Silverchair.

Same here. Born in 75 & I lived in small town Rapid City SD pop like less than 60g most of my life. Of course I had to rely on radio play for most of it too... So it was either 2 radio stations, one of which my mom worked at as newscast there, so often a couple of her Coworkers that DJ'd on the fm station would send cool tapes home for me so I got a couple... I think it was Freak Show. And MTV who believe it or not played VIDEOS still back then. So I would record them on my VCR... LOL...

[@danielleallen583]

I feel so privileged to have been in the credits…..I’m the last person who speaks, and it’s very surreal. Emergency Calls Only and the line “I don’t know what has been going on” has really connected with me and is my favourite song from FN. I’ve just gone through an ending of sorts and have been a bit lost, that song has helped me be content, so was stoked to talk over it!. I was belting the song out in my car right before the email with the link to the documentary came out in fact!! Silverchair has meant so much to me for as long as I can remember, and I feel like I got to say thank you to all of them. I hope Ben & Chris know it too. Was the best era to grow up and they killed it, they should all be so proud of their achievements.

I even recently started to listen to it and other songs from Silverchair again, even to Diorama I couldn't hear for many years as it was the record I listened to the most when one of my loved ones broke up with me. But as Daniel I evolved and came out stronger through darkest times than I ever was. So much love and respect to everything he and his bandmates acomplished.

[@interstellarbeatteller9306]

I think Daniel was an artist who was never allowed to grow up and explore his creativity naturally, he had to do it under the gaze of the media with constant pressure to perform.....multiple hit records prove he coped with the situation remarkably well, but at the expense of his own mental health. Maybe now he is free from expectation and his best work is yet to come

Dude you were way ahead of your time. Very very authentic and talented colorful soul. I hope you do mend yourself and your relationship with the other two guys.

I wish I had been able to see the exhibition, but, alas, I live in America. It looks fantastic and fascinating. When I read about Daniel's troubles recently and having dealt with a few traumatic life upheavals of my own this year, I began re-listening to Silverchair. It's been a wonderful experience reconnecting to my past, feeling like my old self again, and shamelessly rocking out. My senior year of high school many, many years ago I had a friend who was a foreign exchange student from Melbourne. She shared a lot of Aussie bands with me. One morning during break, I got myself a Sprite to drink. Sprite was running a promotion that if you screw off the cap and are a winner, you could win a CD. There were only three choices, and Neon Ballroom was one. I've never won anything before in my life. Because of my Aussie friend, I chose Neon Ballroom. I waited for nearly a year to get that CD, figured that it was some sort of scam because it took so long to arrive. To this day, Neon Ballroom is one of my favorite albums. Sadly, I lost contact with my friend about a decade ago. I hope she's all right and still enjoying the music too. Thank you, Daniel. Keep your chin up, head held high. You've made a difference in many people's lives.

I'm feel so deeply sad that his youth was full of pain and trauma due to fame, but out of that comes this amazing music that has changed so many lives. Only Daniel Johns can say whether that sacrifice was worth it.. but I know there are millions of people that are better because he makes music. 💜💜

Maybe he should have fucked off and worked in a factory. Music would be no worse off. It all went downhill after Frogstomp.

Watching this series, I kept thinking he reminds me somehow of Prince. To the Level.The Artist. Beautiful xox

Loved it!! Thank you Dan and BMG 💜💜💜

Considering the success of the exhibition in Melbs Dan, would you ever consider bringing it to other cities in Australia? I’d love to see it here in Adelaide 🙏🏻😘

DISCLAIMER !! I MIGHT BE MISUNDERSTOOD. First and foremost thenks from heart for the music and emotions which alln those years I- We all have been recollected. Amazing experience to work with a Great Artist´s timelife on a very accurate and sensible-genuine touch. To me , the act of catharsys bring me to interpretate a very sweet redemption of Nirvana sore and bitter end. IF in such a way life might somehow repeat ciclically itself , there might be somekind of similar pattern with a little twist on the plot which could overcome some of the previous patterns, in order to define a way better complition. The point is not here to define a very lame similitude on the music taste with the grunge genre´s association but something which evolve the uncomplete saga with Nirvana´s leader tragic death. To my wiev,the almighty work of Daniel here as Artist and Brilliant musician- composer is to soften-up the end of an era, blinking with one eye a "parallel " universe in which facts are objectively well accepted. No need to take any malfunctional interpretation of other suicide cases, no need to flip into some low feeling reverbs "again " , the past has already been dictated what was in the early ninetees . But another legendary similar story channelled to other possibilities to flip the scrypt, as a given gifts for other generations. THANK YOU for the awesome concept of this golden saga where Dan and all His universe feels as a medicine for our souls.

Yay, it finally dropped. Can't wait to see this ⭐😊

[@stealingtomorrowband]

Its a sad thing that the 3 guys aren't friends anymore after all they accomplished together. I understand that they pretty much grew up in the spotlight and didn't get the regular childhood that most ofnis got, but its a shamemthey aren't friends.. inonow those dudes spent a lot of time together and experienced a lot of things not many people will get to experience.. I hope you dudes can eventually bury the BS and begin to be friends again..

Hey champ, it’s not a competition on who’s gone through what. We all have a story to tell and we fall and get back up. Let’s hope you never struggle through something and have some random nobody judging you for it. It’s easy for you, you are not in the spotlight and can hide behind your computer because nobody knows your name… ✌🏽

[@KleberFainer]

Unfortunately, I was able to see only one time live the Silverchair and Dan. It was in 1999 @ the Independent Days Festival in Bologna (Italy). I grew up with Silverchairs. I've bought a black Les Paul Custom, not only for that incredible smooth sound, smooth neck&feel when you play it, but also because Daniel had that guitar. And, with my band, when we recorded our demo, I've demanded that sound in "Spawn again". Thanks Dan. Damn, thanks. For all the noise, all the words, for all that feelings in Future Never too. From Dan, to Dan.

[@loversspit]

Have such deep respected for Daniel and all he’s accomplished, shows to be and shares. He’s one of a kind, devoted to his craft in any medium it can breathe alive. All the love Daniel… I hope the future is much kinder to you 💘

[@bev9708]

OHHH my heart is pounding!!!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤

[@betowarrior_]

Silverchair is one of my main influences on my own songwriting

[@earthcomic1280]

That was great. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself with us, Dan. Also, I love that this album shows you and everyone that you don't HAVE to perform live to make a number one record. ⭐❤️⭐

⚠️Warning: wall of text ahead⚠️ Anyone who really understands artistry can watch Daniel’s evolution and understand it (to the extent that anyone can be understood). He’s brilliant, original, beautiful, ethereal, brutally honest and generous with himself even as he has struggled for years to keep his mind together. He wants to play the piano in the goddamn closet but knows that the world won’t let him. D’Angelo took a similar hiatus and made a stunning comeback. Leonard Cohen went to a monastery. Whitney Houston destroyed herself (not without assistance from BB); Amy Winehouse did as well. More on this in a minute. Average schlubs like myself - we have NO idea what it means to live a life like this. Most people couldn’t handle that level of scrutiny, adoration, vitriol or pressure. The millions of dollars help, but at the end of the day these people are still human. Imagine if every mistake you’d ever made was broadcast in international headlines, and swarms of talentless critics just waited to pounce on you. REALLY think about a mistake you’ve made and imagine the world coming at you with torches and pitchforks. Unless you’re a seasoned sociopath, it WILL affect you. We lose so many brilliant artists so young because the system is engineered to deify and destroy in equal parts. We have no idea what Kurt Cobain or Jeff Buckley or Janis Joplin or Tupac or Billie Holliday or John Lennon would have achieved had they survived. How do we know that Cobain wouldn’t have eventually put out an album like U2’s “Pop?” We DON’T KNOW. I loved Silverchair in the 90s - they’re 6 months younger than me and my high school friends. I stopped paying attention around 2001 when my own life got crazy, and I had no idea what Johns was up to this entire time. At first I was horrified at his transformation, because of course my teenaged heart will live in 1999 for all time. But this interview and others are showing me that Johns is a very rare talent who is misunderstood by fans, as the cliché goes. He also came up in the industry self-taught, with no background in classical, jazz, music theory or music history, and for a guy who couldn’t tell you the structure of an opera, he has still surpassed many, many other artists with his innate comprehension of music in all its forms. He knows the impact he has made on the music industry, and yet is still sweet, thoughtful and witty. People might think he’s pretentious, but I actually think he’s the polar opposite. I’m hooked: I’ve got a Daniel Johns-shaped rabbit hole to go down, and I’m excited to have something positive to busy my mind with during this very, very devastating time in my life. My only real beef, Mr. Johns, is with the pornstache.

Expecting more content from your channel. Hope you stay healthy and happy always. I miss you and love you so much, Daniel. ❤❤❤

[@dombucher4591]

Yeah, don't leave us, take time for yourself but like a previous comment, i totally agree You did start at a young age but you made so many awesome songs, your lyrics are so real and touch so many people, which ( i think would be quite hard to do) but you are amazing... keep on keeping on Daniel 😘
