I'm from Brazil and I traveled alone on 15/05/2003 400Km to see Silverchair in São Paulo. It is to this day the best performance I have ever seen live. I remember being still outside the auditorium in line and listening to Daniel rehearsing Emotion Sickness and getting goosebumps. I hope you keep improving mentally every day Daniel. I'm sure you will get better every day.
Time becomes such a strange thing as we get older. As I watch this interview, I'm 42 years old. I was 15 in 1995 when Silverchair blew up. Frogstomp & Freakshow are part of the soundtrack to my youth. So, It's strange to watch this interview with Daniel in this new world with the memory of the old one in my minds eye.
Me too man...I'm 43..I still remember getting Frogstomp...seeing "Tomorrow" & "Pure Massacre" and "Israel's Son" on MTV.... WE BROTHER...ARE THE MTV KIDS...FROM AUGUST OF '81 TO IT'S DEATH-THROWS IN 1996-1999......
me and my older brother played guitar at and early age i grew up playing hairband stuff, he was into this style of music,there is alot of talented musicians in northern canada specially native nations.
I stumbled upon this after pulling up a Silverchair song I hadn’t heard in a while. I didn’t realize all these things had happened. First, I’m so glad you’re still making music. Second, thank you for opening up about this. As someone who also deals with depression and anxiety, I can relate to so much of what you’ve experienced. I, too, play music and something you said really resonates with me bc I go through it… you said that music is your escape but you also find that when you’re in that world, chaos can ensue. I know those weren’t the exact words and maybe that’s just what I took from it but I felt it. When making music I feel myself going down a rabbit hole that I can’t always find my way back out of. I was 16 when I first heard Silverchair and now at 44, I’m so happy to be hearing you sing again! I hope you’re doing well, lots of love to you!
Daniel the way you think and talk is so inspiring. I really loved Part Two of your docuseries. Megan you bring the best out in Dan. You have definitely evolved into your future self Dan. It has definitely been an honour to have grown up with your music and lyrics and your actual deep feelings and connection. So proud of you. So humbled to have witness to your incredible voice - you truly are valuable + your truth matters!
Silverchair was the first gig I ever went to when you toured Frogstomp, I was 15. From then every single album, (including disassociatives and your solo stuff) triggers the best memories of me growing up to the present day. They all hit me in the feels. For that I Thank you 😘 I've loved going on this journey with you, even though yours has been so hard. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story. Xx
I agree with the last part of your comment. & that’s awesome that you travelled that far to see them! I would have done the same. We loved silverchair in Canada very hard💫 I drove 5 hours earlier this year to see Kim Dracula in the United States too😊
Growing up with Silverchair and being lucky enough to attend ‘Across the Great Divide’ tour in Brisbane back in 2007, it’s safe to say I’m a Silverchair fan. But as I’ve grown and heard the struggles Daniel has been through in his life, now is the time I feel like his life is more relatable to me. As someone who has suffered anxiety, panic and dissociation myself since a child, I feel grateful knowing that no matter who you are or what your circumstance, there are always people who are going through something similar and that no one is ever truly alone in their struggles. I commend your openness and vulnerability Dan, and wish you all the best for the future. Just as I am not alone, you are not alone.
This interview was an eye-opener for me. I was so drawn to Silverchair in my youth, and still appreciate the creative depth with which Daniel revealed any degree of pain or observation through lyrical content, vocal dynamics, and musical composition. The sheer power was formidable; music and expression= paramount. His cool, honest, and humble expressions throughout this interview (and others I've seen), considering the adversity that has sometimes peppered the journey, are the personification of grace. As a Psychologist (and creative person), I am truly moved by Daniel's self-awareness and candor about his struggles with mental health etc. Any of us who, by sheer will, understanding, and/or catastrophy, have learned to keep going despite darkness's blatant tailgating through the corridors of discontent - real or imagined - and have found a way to meet ourselves, learn, and transform. Conversely, whenever any of my clients have responded positively to treatment, and counseling sessions progress for the ultimate better, my elation for them is boundless. It is like a phoenix rising in self-actualization from the ash and rubble, becoming the calm bright space of refuge in all the chaos, & saying "F it, I'm the mariner of my own ship." This is how I see Daniel, and I adore him for it.
im no expert in music, but I would argue that Dan IS a modern genius (as opposed to artists like Mozart that are more classic/historical geniuses) Every single piece of music dan has ever been involved in is absolutely amazing in my opinion and far from simple. The way he is able to envision songs and manifest feelings and thoughts into a song is extremely impressive; not to mention the meanings and metaphors in the lyrics and how the music itself is constructed. Every single detail is perfected and crafted to sound a specific way for a specific reason. AND all of his music is so different, each album/band has a completely different sound, and only a genius could successfully write such good music in a range of genres. A genius is someone who surpasses expectations and dan does that with every single song he's ever released. in my opinion, dan is definitely an artistic genius.
Ok, lots to process and digest here. The intro was well fitting. I agree when Dan said that it was unfair leading fans to believe that the band would get back together when it wasn't the case. Back in the day I thought it was so cool that Silverchair was performing the same night as MJ (since I'm a massive fan of both, imagine how stoked I was). That night was magical! I also didn't know that you guys were the youngest to perform at SNL (which is a huge compliment to your talent). I can only imagine how overwhelming this journey must have been to you guys. Being famous that young is no cup of tea, and that's why I'm so proud of the man you are today. You overcame neglect, BS, celebrity world, tabloids, murder-blaming (this last one hit me hard. That was SO unfair since you were just a teenager) and yet, you never stop being creative and gifting us with your beautiful art even though you were dealing with health problems, anxiety & depression during all of this. That's why you are a warrior. "Future Never" is a masterpiece. An open letter from a brilliant man saying farewell to the past, living in the present and moving towards the future. So happy to finally meet Purple girl. She's badass! Must be protected at all costs. Absolutely loved that version of "Freak". I can't wait to watch "WITFNH". Rasmus is a talented kid. Thank you Daniel for open your house and your heart to all of us. Act 2 made me admire you even more (is that even possible?)...guess it is. Looking forward to the last episode.
Dear TeamFuture, please give a clear indication of where Mr Johns is on the issue of the WEF/globalist takeoverthat is being perpetuated subversively by the media and governments. It is somewhat important, I would suggest. Life and death, actually.
This docuseries is such a gift. Just getting to see him smile and heal makes me so happy. I hope Dan knows all of us are here because of his talents and creations, not because of "celebrity".
I'm so proud that he's getting over everything he's internalized over the years so well… Daniel is a great example of resilience and overcoming. All respect to the human being he
Havent heard about daniel johns in forever, I'm 38 now and have been a huge silverchair fan since frogstomp. Im glad these videos popped up on my UA-cam feed, dude is such a genuine person and such a king soul.
First of all the story sequence with purple girl felt like the start of a theatrical production that left me wanting to see more. Secondly I again appreciate your raw honesty. Even though it’s difficult, you are so open with your pain & anxieties & I felt that. I especially found it so relatable when you said “If the future never fucked me up”. From my heart to yours I truly hope that the process of creating & sharing Future Never helps you on your healing journey. You deserve all the anxiety free happiness in the world 💗
Being a mega 'chair fan since the start, I thought I knew so much about the band but listening to words from the Man himself, finally his point of view, I find myself realising how little I actually knew about Daniel as a human being. For a Man so private & reserved, I'm deeply thankful you've granted us access into some of your darkest corners. Please continue to smile bright but most importantly remember you are the artist you aspired to become ❤️
My favourite moment is when you say you wouldn’t change anything - that made my heart smile - because I believe there’s something truly beautiful and incredibly special in being able to feel that way about our life. ❤️
I went to the Daniel John's exhibition on the weekend. WOW it was so amazing, best day ever and so so much stuff. I really loved seeing his school work, reports and itineraries from when he was touring, his teddy and first toy. All the things you don't often get to see from your favourite artist. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing with us Daniel, it means so much to be a part of your world.. I wish you nothing but freedom, love and peace..you deserve it all 💜 never forget how admired you are ✨️
I am absolutely loving this docuseries. Thank you! It's such a special thing to be invited into your home, thoughts, childhood, truth, etc. You are very generous with us.
G'day from Sydney Dear Daniel and Future Never team😊 Thank You for sharing the second series of this docuseries. Daniel is down to earth and humble which is no wonder he's adored by his fans, close friends and family. Keep on going Daniel. You're unique and will always be the young teenage musical prodigy that makes Australia proud. Kudos to you Daniel!! Looking forward when 'If the Future Never happened' featurette gets released as I'm.sure it'll be worth watching. Take care for now. Cheers❤
I have so much respect for this man. I consider everything he puts out here to be such a gift to all of us who do respect and appreciate him. I have to say, listening to these, and reading what he has had to say, especially recently, feels distressing yet so comforting. Everything he says makes perfect sense to me. I feel this so hard. I also agree with him, and don't understand the strange obsession with people wanting to be a "celebrity". Just the thought of it gives me anxiety. And of course his sense of humour has always been such a joy to me. Thank you, Daniel, for everything. 💖
Daniel was a kid when start to play, sing and compose lyrics. The media made many comparisons with other bands, almost as silverchair was plagiarism. It never was. But I think for a boy it was difficult to understand this and ignore these judgments. we were all insecure teenagers, it must have been hard to hear it. And my God, you were a kid, a very talented kid! I always admired you as an artist but now I admire you as a person, you ended the band because you were being toxic. It takes courage to do this and you did. Your fans love your music, but we love you first. Please put your health at first place, our admiration for you will never change.
Daniel, você fez toda a diferença com o Silverchair aqui no Brasil, especialmente nos três primeiros álbuns do grupo. Eu acompanho a sua carreira desde o início, e as transições posteriores na carreira solo. Te digo uma coisa: com o tempo o nosso coração fica cada vez mais leve e a gente entende a beleza de ter vivido tudo o que aconteceu, mesmo com muitas partes ruins ainda nítidas na mente. A maturidade vai moldando uma nova realidade e a gente entende que somos hoje uma soma do que fomos ontem. O que importa é o que fazemos agora com toda essa informação e com as experiências acumuladas. Você é muito amado por muitos e muitas, ajudou incontáveis pessoas a passarem pelos problemas da juventude através da sua música. Só temos a te agradecer. Desejo que seu coração e sua mente estejam cada vez mais saudáveis nos caminhos que você escolher. E quem sabe, um dia possamos conversar sobre muitas coisas ao vivo. Fique bem, sempre.
Daniel, if you’re reading this, thank you. Your honesty is beautiful and humbling. I started playing in bands right around the time you did, and like you I am still chasing that muse today. It’s a beautiful thing. A full scope ride. I admire and echo your sentiment that it needs to be protected at all cost. Cheers. Max.
Another incredible episode. My heart breaks for Daniel when Ben comes up in conversation. He says he doesnt care, and maybe so, I'm sure in the grand scheme of things he doesnt... but something in his eyes, I dunno.... seemed kinda heartbreaking.
He seemed quite shocked that Ben had said something like that but he dealt with it really well I thought, he didn't say shit about Ben he was was really mature about it. I think in his business you probably have to grow a thick skin.
The reality is when you're in a band for as long as they were, you become extremely close. Sometimes when bands end, those relationships don't always hold up. It's definitely sad.
oh my god... what a wonderful thing, i feel like i'm 12, 13 years old again, watching all this. Thank you Daniel for showing yourself more to us, you are so special. We love you so much
I am loving watching these Daniel and once again thankyou for being so open and honest about your mental health. You are one brave and brilliant individual and I can't wait to see heaps more from you in the future. Love ya Dan xxx
Bro I saw you live in the US on your last Silverchair tour in 2007. Though been a fan since 1995. I can now appreciate all you’ve been through, all of you! Listen your real fans understand we all grow and do different things. From a young age you showed me through your creativity to always keep evolving. I’m glad you came out with this. Thank you and much respect.
First 34seconds.....makes me realize how you REALLY FEEL about your old band.....and it's completely understandable... We all grow as we get older....it's an inevitable part of any individuals life....yet that's what you wanted to be....AN INDIVIDUAL...musically/spiritually in your own right... I was 13 in March of '95...you were 15 I was always in awe at that time that 3guys 2yrs older than me could become such a sensation overnight.....but....that is how "The Machine" worked 30yrs ago....and still does.... I tip my hat to you Daniel sir....
I'm from Brazil, I don't know how to speak English, but I would still like to express myself. At the time Silverchair became famous, my mother was a teenager, so I didn't have the opportunity to experience that moment, but I grew up listening to their music because of my mother, my uncles. When I became a teenager (I'm from 1998) the band came to an end and that makes me very sad. I would like to have the opportunity to go to one of your shows. I admire Daniel from afar, I follow him wherever I can on social media, it's great to see him like this
90’s was the renaissance of music. Neon Ballroom of Silverchair is the best album in my personal opinion. From the orchestral sound of Emotion Sickness to powerful voice of Daniel in Spawn Again and Anthem for the year 2000; heartbreaking sounds of Black Tangled Heart and Ana’s Song; and relaxing last song of Steam Will Rise, it is such a masterfully crafted album, Genius. Rock, Metal, Alternative, and other genres became the voices for the rest of us from primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. It made the majority of millennials strong against daily personal hardships and battles. I’m in late 30’s now with a family and children. My playlists in my smartphone still composed of Silverchair, KoRn, RATM, Slipknot, Slayer, Oasis, Rammstein, Disturbed, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains. My kids loves the 90s song, it’s our music when we’re in the road trips for vacations. Thank you Daniel Johns and Silverchair for all the inspirations in your songs.
Whilst I've appreciated every incarnation of your music for years, "Reclaim Your Heart" hit me deeper than ever.💔 "Your open heart & raw emotion captured sonically" ❤ You've got nothing to prove to anyone Dan Keep being true to yourself (& your art)
Thanks for Reclaiming your heart and your Art. You continue to inspire the world with your profound relatability and authenticity. This exhibition is mad cool. Can’t wait to breathe it all in. Bravo Dan. xx
Thank you for this Daniel, I can't put into words what your lyrics and voice did for me through my late teens n 20s.... I'm 46 now and still remember how magical the time was around 1997 when I was 21, it was such a golden time for Aussie music n festivals.
I found silverchair in MTV back when MTV was about music. First video and song i heard was freak. I was 13-14 just getting into music. I thought it was awesome to see 3 teens making music and touring and being on mtv. I wanted to be in a band, write music, and tour, but i got in a band wrote music but never toured... I struggle with some mental health issues, and it sucks. I think i have overcome some of those issues after becoming a father but a lot of those struggles still linger .. Love your music Daniel, you definitely are up there in the influential artists of the 90s- early 2000's... Keep your head up and moving forward
Thankyou for continuing to share openly and authentically with us. You don’t have to do any of this, you don’t have to share at all, and yet you do. Such a kind, delicate, brave soul. Just promise us you’ll keep creating and sharing your art with us. 💜💜💜💜
Wow just WOW The one thing that struck me during this episode (well two actually) 1 was how humble Daniel has been throughout his life from a young man on SNL to now he has always felt like he didn't belong, like he wasn't good enough, to me that speaks volumes on how amazing of a man he is today, to go through all this as a child and to be on top but still be Daniel, its inspiring and sad, I wish he could look in the mirror and see what we see when we look at him, genuine and talented and beautiful on the inside as well as out ❤️ But also 2 he's so raw and truthful and you can see that it makes him anxious and uncomfortable bearing it to us by the way he plays with his hair when he's uncomfortable or moves in his seat but regardless of how hard it is for him to be in the spotlight talking about his life and himself he does it, he tells his story his way, from someone who has witnessed (from the outside) the rise and struggle of Daniel Johns I just want you to know I am so proud of you and so inspired by you, you have been through so much pain and still here you are ❤️ Beautiful.
thank you Daniel for your openness and honesty. I wish more people would speak so candidly about their mental health struggles. To hear and see yourself represented so openly in the media and being loved and accepted for it is so refreshing. Keep being the amazing human you are. I look forward to anything and everything you release. ✌️❤️♾
As a silverchair fan from Thailand, Daniel influenced me a lot also inspired me to learn English for getting into his great songs. Always support you Daniel, cheerful.
I'm really enjoying this docuseries. Thanks for sharing so much with us. Whether you are a genius or not Daniel, you are so freaking talented, creative and inspiring!
You don't know where the ship is going, but to see how far you sail ship into the nexus void, the place where songs come from, is one of the most inspiring journeys for me, as a fan and an artist, to witness in this life. Whilst I don't look to you for guidance per say, you have taught me a lot through the years; the greatest lesson being of self acceptance. You have embraced impossible outcomes and have pulled through. You teach me what's possible. Thanks for always stewarding me into the FutureNever!
Daniel, it's you that we admire, as much as your music. It's your candid discussions on your life, mental health and your processes, without pretension or arrogance. Humble, with compassion. You've soundtracked a lot of our lives, and continue to do so - it's your voice and your truth, yet somehow makes us think "someone out there feels how I feel" and communicates through the beauty of art. FutureNever is so you, it's magnificent: 'what's a genre?' Got to shout out Mr Steele, too; you've both released remarkable records this year. Keep being Daniel Johns.
I loved the heavy rock tones on the first few albums. Diorama is my favourite album. I'm a fellow Aussie SA born. I can't imagine the pressures of been a teen rock star at that age. I'm so glad you're doing well these days. Your music on Diorama got me through some tough times it's some of you guys best work :) Sorry this is a bit long winded. Thank you so much for all the amazing music and these videos. Looking forward to more awesome music from you. Daniel you seem like an amazing and caring person :) Love Josh ❤️
My friend and I have been waiting for this episode since the first one ended :) Thank you for being open and sincere. I enjoy listening to the stories you're telling in this series. It's a really well done documentary!
There is so much to digest after that, including how talented Purplegirl and is how awesome it is that she is dealing with the exposure safely and on her own terms! I have the ‘girls kick ass’ sticker on my keyboard ❤️
I’m in hospital with a ruptured appendix, thing burst and leaked all through, not long out of surgery, and here I am, had some major complications thanks Dan the Man for everything you do, can’t wait for part three and what if the future never happened, it’s going to be 🔥, hopefully released to own and purchase? Physical copy would be awesome, thanks again brother
I like how Dan dealt with the Ben comment, he was very mature about it. Those who live in Australia especially Melbourne are very lucky to have the chance to see the exhibition, it looks amazing!
I grew up on post-grunge and nu-metal music in the early 2000’s. I remember seeing Silverchair in MTV and i liked the song (can’t remember witch one) but it didn’t stick with me, however the band name did. I’m 35 now, been a musician since i could walk basically, and just listen to Diorama for the first time. This album is one of few iv’e heard in my life that i would call a masterpiece. I hope i get to see Silvechair live at least once in my lifetime.
Daniel Johns is a gifted person who deserves to be happy, even if he doesn't realize how many people he has made and will continue to make happy. Thank you for coming back out in the light.
First saw you guys at reading festival 1999 and I was 16 , went to the festival just to see you guys . I am now 40 and still love your music ! Hope you get something from these interviews Daniel , keep smiling .
Another great interview. Thanks Dan & Megan. Seems as though Daniel has properly had the chance to think about how / why / what his past has been, and to come to terms with the good, and not so good aspects of this. That’s definitely not easy to do, and it’s a lot to get your head around. I think the attitude of not putting constraints on anything ( such as future live performance etc ) is a good idea. What will be, will be. No need to be having a busy mind, and overthinking these type of things. The upcoming movie with Rasmus looks to be really fantastic. Looking forward to the next video with Megan. 👍
Silverchair was a huge part of my childhood, I used to have Frogstomp and Freakshow on either side of a cassette and listen on repeat. It's bittersweet though, to know how much Daniel suffered for his art. Eternally grateful for the influence on my musical journey through life.
Wonderful, love seeing your greater artistry bloom, from one artist to another :) Look forward to checking the exhibition out in Melbourne town :) Keep on in song
July 2024 - You are without a doubt, a musical genius. But even more importantly, you are so real and down to earth. You know human suffering, and handle it with such grace, compassion and a much needed sense of humor. We have never met, but you are absolutely one of my favorite people on Earth. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Wishing all the very best on your healing journey. ❤
You can see the emotions in his eyes as he is trying to explain the wave of emotions that was "Silverchair"... Deep down, I would Love to see Silverchair re-unite, but if it isn't right then leave it. Breaks my heart seeing you with red eyes holding back your emotions in an interview, when you've been forced to hold back your emotions since you got famous and follow rules. Your music is genius to me. Geniuses inspire generations long after death... Mozart, Einstein.... And you have done just that, and still alive 🍻🙌 Get well soon mate. Everyone loves a come back 🤙🇦🇺🍻 Life wouldn't be the same "without YOU" 🙌 P.s. is Robin still haunting you? Just be you mate 🙌🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺 "I'm watching you watch over me" 🙏🏻
I have to say this really is actual impactful, insightful and helpful/practical commentary and advice on mental health and just the way all humans learn and evolve, regret and ultimately how to come to an understanding that we can't rewind the clock but we can picture our future selves and where we want to go and what we want to be and how we want to live. Cheers Daniel.
8.13pm Daniel at 56 mate have experienced very similar feelings and anxiety as yourself . Your journey has given me strength and yourself buddy just keep going with the knowledge that you have helped me tremendously . Thank you
"Next week in"!!! Glad to see there's a date... Since I first saw the trailer, I couldn't wait to watch it!!! Great expectation for another great art on the way....!!!
Hi Daniel, I wish I could give back more than just this apology for being one of the army of your fans and contributed to taking your life away from you in a way. You gave me so much when I was growing up and I am so proud to be your fan. I see the responsibility you still feel for being so influential and it's beautiful. Your influence has made my life so much better and you are still doing that. Thanks for bringing your warmth out to the world. You have always and are still making this world a much better place.
Daniel, I hope you know how much these videos mean to us as fans. We know how hesitant you typically are to let people in like this and we greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
Daniel, it's great to see you looking happy and healthy. Being a similar age, I have grown up with your music as it has evolved, and it has aways been cathartic for me. It has helped me through many tough and dark times. Thank you. Wishing you every best wish and happiness for your future, whatever shape that may take.
Wow just finished watching act 1 and when I finished act 2 was just put up with 845 veiws in 35 min already. Thanks for sharing your life with us Daniel
Daniel, you’re such a magical and wonderful artist. I’m so glad you’ve slayed those dragons and you’re still here to tell the tale. I relate to so much of everything you have been through from chronic pain to mental health issues and alcoholism… I’m so glad you can be so candid with us and share your wizardry! What a wonderful character of life you are ♥️♥️♥️
Waking up to this in the states. Thank you Dan for being so open and honest. Keep healing and sharing. Love you 💜 also I am now going to be late for work..I mean, my office is in my living room, but I’m still late 🤣
Fascinating interview with Daniel. He is a rare talent & produces unique art in all its forms. Sad that Ben is out there talking trash about his long time friend.
Mr Daniel Johns thank u for allowing us to be with u on this amazing journey of yours I just felt I needed to say how much your art has helped me your music has always made me feel alive and in reality as I suffer with ptsd anxiety and major depression and at a point I was isolating myself but now I’m trying so hard to challenge myself and leave the house and Daniel u have helped me do that I brought my tickets for the exhibition and I’m going this Saturday and if it wasn’t for your exhibition I would be struggling to see life outside my home so I owe u a big thank u and thank u so so much for opening up about your struggles so I want to send u so much love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh so wise, knowing the truth way back then, you are such a beautiful sensitive soul. You are so incredibly lucky to feel all that you feel, as hard as that may of been at times. Go you for being able to express and articulate your life story, owning it, healing you and so many others on the way. Openness is love, thank you! Big love to you Dan. ❤️
Watching these episodes has made me re-listen to all the CD's again.I absolutely love them all, Diorama and Neon Ballroom are the best and just dont age! you are a true legend and so talented.
Very cool. Your really going the full Bowie. All in artistically speaking. Also reminds me how great D4NGRSBOY is. Looking forward to all your new music🔥❤️
Ben’s comment about Daniel’s song being “simple” seems like it was meant to be an insult but in reality writing simple songs is the hardest damn thing to do. Either way this series has been really cool so far! Loving the content and openness. Been a big fan for a long time! Keep up the good work.
You have impacted my life in ways you could've never imagine man. So proud of you man. Thanks for everything, what a great example of a human being you are

I'm from Brazil and I traveled alone on 15/05/2003 400Km to see Silverchair in São Paulo. It is to this day the best performance I have ever seen live. I remember being still outside the auditorium in line and listening to Daniel rehearsing Emotion Sickness and getting goosebumps. I hope you keep improving mentally every day Daniel. I'm sure you will get better every day.
I was in The credcard hall Either. I remember of listening Steam will rise from The bathroom during their sound check.
I love that Daniel is so open and upfront - there’s no deception, pretension, or fakeness with him, which is rare in today’s society.
Which would be why the whole celebrity thing was never him, As i think in more cases than most celebrity is just another word for wanker
Yeah you can really get a sense that he's the type of person who can only be himself.
It reminds me of how Avicii express he felt, hope Daniel doesn’t follow the same path as him.
10,000% and then some
@@dianagaray7666 yea hope he isn’t on the hit list.going against the industry
Time becomes such a strange thing as we get older. As I watch this interview, I'm 42 years old. I was 15 in 1995 when Silverchair blew up. Frogstomp & Freakshow are part of the soundtrack to my youth. So, It's strange to watch this interview with Daniel in this new world with the memory of the old one in my minds eye.
exactly bro , the music lives on but we all have to move on.
Same boat, brother.
Same. This is all just so strange.
Me too man...I'm 43..I still remember getting Frogstomp...seeing "Tomorrow" & "Pure Massacre" and "Israel's Son" on MTV....
WE BROTHER...ARE THE MTV KIDS...FROM AUGUST OF '81 TO IT'S DEATH-THROWS IN 1996-1999......
me and my older brother played guitar at and early age i grew up playing hairband stuff, he was into this style of music,there is alot of talented musicians in northern canada specially native nations.
I stumbled upon this after pulling up a Silverchair song I hadn’t heard in a while. I didn’t realize all these things had happened. First, I’m so glad you’re still making music. Second, thank you for opening up about this. As someone who also deals with depression and anxiety, I can relate to so much of what you’ve experienced. I, too, play music and something you said really resonates with me bc I go through it… you said that music is your escape but you also find that when you’re in that world, chaos can ensue. I know those weren’t the exact words and maybe that’s just what I took from it but I felt it. When making music I feel myself going down a rabbit hole that I can’t always find my way back out of. I was 16 when I first heard Silverchair and now at 44, I’m so happy to be hearing you sing again! I hope you’re doing well, lots of love to you!
Daniel the way you think and talk is so inspiring. I really loved Part Two of your docuseries. Megan you bring the best out in Dan. You have definitely evolved into your future self Dan. It has definitely been an honour to have grown up with your music and lyrics and your actual deep feelings and connection. So proud of you. So humbled to have witness to your incredible voice - you truly are valuable + your truth matters!
Thank you so much x
let's talk about the car crash...or is that not good for prime time talk shows haha
Silverchair was the first gig I ever went to when you toured Frogstomp, I was 15.
From then every single album, (including disassociatives and your solo stuff) triggers the best memories of me growing up to the present day. They all hit me in the feels. For that I Thank you 😘
I've loved going on this journey with you, even though yours has been so hard. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story. Xx
Lovely comment, Dan would be very happy with this - TeamFuture
Same! First concert in Toronto, & it was unforgettable❤
I agree with the last part of your comment. & that’s awesome that you travelled that far to see them! I would have done the same. We loved silverchair in Canada very hard💫
I drove 5 hours earlier this year to see Kim Dracula in the United States too😊
Growing up with Silverchair and being lucky enough to attend ‘Across the Great Divide’ tour in Brisbane back in 2007, it’s safe to say I’m a Silverchair fan. But as I’ve grown and heard the struggles Daniel has been through in his life, now is the time I feel like his life is more relatable to me. As someone who has suffered anxiety, panic and dissociation myself since a child, I feel grateful knowing that no matter who you are or what your circumstance, there are always people who are going through something similar and that no one is ever truly alone in their struggles. I commend your openness and vulnerability Dan, and wish you all the best for the future. Just as I am not alone, you are not alone.
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
Daniel is a genius, confirmed once Diorama was released. He’s Australia’s greatest living artist
100%
John Butler running second place
Diorama is not Daniel solo. There's other artists who are a part of that album. Stop discrediting them.
Na Nick Cave is Buddy this guy's great though. We are in the Pure Massacre video so liked him long time
This needs to be said. Van Dyke Parks is responsible for that...... BUT, If it was Daniel's idea, then that was genius.
Yeahnaa
This interview was an eye-opener for me. I was so drawn to Silverchair in my youth, and still appreciate the creative depth with which Daniel revealed any degree of pain or observation through lyrical content, vocal dynamics, and musical composition. The sheer power was formidable; music and expression= paramount. His cool, honest, and humble expressions throughout this interview (and others I've seen), considering the adversity that has sometimes peppered the journey, are the personification of grace. As a Psychologist (and creative person), I am truly moved by Daniel's self-awareness and candor about his struggles with mental health etc. Any of us who, by sheer will, understanding, and/or catastrophy, have learned to keep going despite darkness's blatant tailgating through the corridors of discontent - real or imagined - and have found a way to meet ourselves, learn, and transform. Conversely, whenever any of my clients have responded positively to treatment, and counseling sessions progress for the ultimate better, my elation for them is boundless. It is like a phoenix rising in self-actualization from the ash and rubble, becoming the calm bright space of refuge in all the chaos, & saying "F it, I'm the mariner of my own ship." This is how I see Daniel, and I adore him for it.
im no expert in music, but I would argue that Dan IS a modern genius (as opposed to artists like Mozart that are more classic/historical geniuses) Every single piece of music dan has ever been involved in is absolutely amazing in my opinion and far from simple. The way he is able to envision songs and manifest feelings and thoughts into a song is extremely impressive; not to mention the meanings and metaphors in the lyrics and how the music itself is constructed. Every single detail is perfected and crafted to sound a specific way for a specific reason. AND all of his music is so different, each album/band has a completely different sound, and only a genius could successfully write such good music in a range of genres. A genius is someone who surpasses expectations and dan does that with every single song he's ever released. in my opinion, dan is definitely an artistic genius.
100%
really enjoyed reading your take on the Music. Lovely writing ✍️ xx
@@kathrynagoodwin24 thank you x
"It's my time to shine like a tuna in the brine." Genius.
tf. are you insane?
Ok, lots to process and digest here. The intro was well fitting. I agree when Dan said that it was unfair leading fans to believe that the band would get back together when it wasn't the case. Back in the day I thought it was so cool that Silverchair was performing the same night as MJ (since I'm a massive fan of both, imagine how stoked I was). That night was magical! I also didn't know that you guys were the youngest to perform at SNL (which is a huge compliment to your talent). I can only imagine how overwhelming this journey must have been to you guys. Being famous that young is no cup of tea, and that's why I'm so proud of the man you are today. You overcame neglect, BS, celebrity world, tabloids, murder-blaming (this last one hit me hard. That was SO unfair since you were just a teenager) and yet, you never stop being creative and gifting us with your beautiful art even though you were dealing with health problems, anxiety & depression during all of this. That's why you are a warrior. "Future Never" is a masterpiece. An open letter from a brilliant man saying farewell to the past, living in the present and moving towards the future. So happy to finally meet Purple girl. She's badass! Must be protected at all costs. Absolutely loved that version of "Freak". I can't wait to watch "WITFNH". Rasmus is a talented kid. Thank you Daniel for open your house and your heart to all of us. Act 2 made me admire you even more (is that even possible?)...guess it is. Looking forward to the last episode.
Love this - TeamFuture
Dear TeamFuture, please give a clear indication of where Mr Johns is on the issue of the WEF/globalist takeoverthat is being perpetuated subversively by the media and governments. It is somewhat important, I would suggest. Life and death, actually.
Couldn’t agree more!
This docuseries is such a gift. Just getting to see him smile and heal makes me so happy. I hope Dan knows all of us are here because of his talents and creations, not because of "celebrity".
100%
💜 - TeamFuture
Definitely
@@DanielJohnsHQ Give us ROCK. I know you have a ROCK record ready to go. Give us it, precious.
I'm so proud that he's getting over everything he's internalized over the years so well… Daniel is a great example of resilience and overcoming. All respect to the human being he
💜 - TeamFuture
Havent heard about daniel johns in forever, I'm 38 now and have been a huge silverchair fan since frogstomp. Im glad these videos popped up on my UA-cam feed, dude is such a genuine person and such a king soul.
I love hearing your stories. Must be so healing for you talk freely.
Thank you x
First of all the story sequence with purple girl felt like the start of a theatrical production that left me wanting to see more.
Secondly I again appreciate your raw honesty. Even though it’s difficult, you are so open with your pain & anxieties & I felt that. I especially found it so relatable when you said “If the future never fucked me up”.
From my heart to yours I truly hope that the process of creating & sharing Future Never helps you on your healing journey.
You deserve all the anxiety free happiness in the world 💗
💜 - TeamFuture
Being a mega 'chair fan since the start, I thought I knew so much about the band but listening to words from the Man himself, finally his point of view, I find myself realising how little I actually knew about Daniel as a human being. For a Man so private & reserved, I'm deeply thankful you've granted us access into some of your darkest corners. Please continue to smile bright but most importantly remember you are the artist you aspired to become ❤️
💜 - TeamFuture
My favourite moment is when you say you wouldn’t change anything - that made my heart smile - because I believe there’s something truly beautiful and incredibly special in being able to feel that way about our life. ❤️
I went to the Daniel John's exhibition on the weekend. WOW it was so amazing, best day ever and so so much stuff. I really loved seeing his school work, reports and itineraries from when he was touring, his teddy and first toy. All the things you don't often get to see from your favourite artist. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing, we’ve passed this on to Dan - TeamFuture
Thank you so much for sharing with us Daniel, it means so much to be a part of your world.. I wish you nothing but freedom, love and peace..you deserve it all 💜 never forget how admired you are ✨️
💜 - TeamFuture
I am absolutely loving this docuseries. Thank you! It's such a special thing to be invited into your home, thoughts, childhood, truth, etc. You are very generous with us.
G'day from Sydney
Dear Daniel and Future Never team😊
Thank You for sharing the second series of this docuseries.
Daniel is down to earth and humble which is no wonder he's adored by his fans, close friends and family.
Keep on going Daniel. You're unique and will always be the young teenage musical prodigy that makes Australia proud. Kudos to you Daniel!!
Looking forward when
'If the Future Never happened' featurette gets released as I'm.sure it'll be worth watching.
Take care for now. Cheers❤
My friend and i have been waiting for this episode since the first one ended :)
Much love and support to Daniel and his team 💖
i could listen to your stories for hours
Silverchair was such a great inspiration and influence during 90's. I just hope they reunite one day because their music is just freakin awesome.
I have so much respect for this man. I consider everything he puts out here to be such a gift to all of us who do respect and appreciate him. I have to say, listening to these, and reading what he has had to say, especially recently, feels distressing yet so comforting. Everything he says makes perfect sense to me. I feel this so hard. I also agree with him, and don't understand the strange obsession with people wanting to be a "celebrity". Just the thought of it gives me anxiety. And of course his sense of humour has always been such a joy to me. Thank you, Daniel, for everything. 💖
💜 - TeamFuture
Daniel, you're such a treasure, and it is an honor to listen to your candid thoughts about your experience and process. Much love 💜
💜 - TeamFuture
Daniel was a kid when start to play, sing and compose lyrics. The media made many comparisons with other bands, almost as silverchair was plagiarism. It never was. But I think for a boy it was difficult to understand this and ignore these judgments. we were all insecure teenagers, it must have been hard to hear it. And my God, you were a kid, a very talented kid! I always admired you as an artist but now I admire you as a person, you ended the band because you were being toxic. It takes courage to do this and you did. Your fans love your music, but we love you first. Please put your health at first place, our admiration for you will never change.
Daniel, você fez toda a diferença com o Silverchair aqui no Brasil, especialmente nos três primeiros álbuns do grupo. Eu acompanho a sua carreira desde o início, e as transições posteriores na carreira solo. Te digo uma coisa: com o tempo o nosso coração fica cada vez mais leve e a gente entende a beleza de ter vivido tudo o que aconteceu, mesmo com muitas partes ruins ainda nítidas na mente. A maturidade vai moldando uma nova realidade e a gente entende que somos hoje uma soma do que fomos ontem. O que importa é o que fazemos agora com toda essa informação e com as experiências acumuladas.
Você é muito amado por muitos e muitas, ajudou incontáveis pessoas a passarem pelos problemas da juventude através da sua música. Só temos a te agradecer.
Desejo que seu coração e sua mente estejam cada vez mais saudáveis nos caminhos que você escolher.
E quem sabe, um dia possamos conversar sobre muitas coisas ao vivo.
Fique bem, sempre.
Love his goofy laugh/smile 😂that cheeky twinkle in his eyes he looks just like when he was 16 so adorable
Daniel, if you’re reading this, thank you.
Your honesty is beautiful and humbling.
I started playing in bands right around the time you did, and like you I am still chasing that muse today. It’s a beautiful thing. A full scope ride. I admire and echo your sentiment that it needs to be protected at all cost.
Cheers. Max.
Thank you so much for sharing, we’ve passed this on to Dan - TeamFuture
Support is there either way Daniel. Love your work mate, all the best.
Another incredible episode. My heart breaks for Daniel when Ben comes up in conversation. He says he doesnt care, and maybe so, I'm sure in the grand scheme of things he doesnt... but something in his eyes, I dunno.... seemed kinda heartbreaking.
For sure heartbreaking. Seems like these guys don’t want to be in the same room let alone reunite the band
He seemed quite shocked that Ben had said something like that but he dealt with it really well I thought, he didn't say shit about Ben he was was really mature about it. I think in his business you probably have to grow a thick skin.
His eyes definitely told another story. Its very sad. It’s heartbreaking losing a life long friend 😪💔
The reality is when you're in a band for as long as they were, you become extremely close. Sometimes when bands end, those relationships don't always hold up. It's definitely sad.
I felt that too🥺
oh my god... what a wonderful thing, i feel like i'm 12, 13 years old again, watching all this. Thank you Daniel for showing yourself more to us, you are so special. We love you so much
I am loving watching these Daniel and once again thankyou for being so open and honest about your mental health. You are one brave and brilliant individual and I can't wait to see heaps more from you in the future. Love ya Dan xxx
Super excited for the future! The interview is very therapeutic. Thank you!
Bro I saw you live in the US on your last Silverchair tour in 2007. Though been a fan since 1995. I can now appreciate all you’ve been through, all of you! Listen your real fans understand we all grow and do different things. From a young age you showed me through your creativity to always keep evolving. I’m glad you came out with this. Thank you and much respect.
First 34seconds.....makes me realize how you REALLY FEEL about your old band.....and it's completely understandable...
We all grow as we get older....it's an inevitable part of any individuals life....yet
that's what you wanted to be....AN INDIVIDUAL...musically/spiritually in your own right...
I was 13 in March of '95...you were 15
I was always in awe at that time that 3guys 2yrs older than me could become such a sensation overnight.....but....that is how "The Machine" worked 30yrs ago....and still does....
I tip my hat to you Daniel sir....
I'm from Brazil, I don't know how to speak English, but I would still like to express myself. At the time Silverchair became famous, my mother was a teenager, so I didn't have the opportunity to experience that moment, but I grew up listening to their music because of my mother, my uncles. When I became a teenager (I'm from 1998) the band came to an end and that makes me very sad. I would like to have the opportunity to go to one of your shows. I admire Daniel from afar, I follow him wherever I can on social media, it's great to see him like this
90’s was the renaissance of music. Neon Ballroom of Silverchair is the best album in my personal opinion. From the orchestral sound of Emotion Sickness to powerful voice of Daniel in Spawn Again and Anthem for the year 2000; heartbreaking sounds of Black Tangled Heart and Ana’s Song; and relaxing last song of Steam Will Rise, it is such a masterfully crafted album, Genius. Rock, Metal, Alternative, and other genres became the voices for the rest of us from primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. It made the majority of millennials strong against daily personal hardships and battles. I’m in late 30’s now with a family and children. My playlists in my smartphone still composed of Silverchair, KoRn, RATM, Slipknot, Slayer, Oasis, Rammstein, Disturbed, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains. My kids loves the 90s song, it’s our music when we’re in the road trips for vacations.
Thank you Daniel Johns and Silverchair for all the inspirations in your songs.
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
Whilst I've appreciated every incarnation of your music for years,
"Reclaim Your Heart"
hit me deeper than ever.💔
"Your open heart & raw emotion captured sonically" ❤
You've got nothing to prove to anyone Dan
Keep being true to yourself (& your art)
🙌 - TeamFuture
Thanks for Reclaiming your heart and your Art. You continue to inspire the world with your profound relatability and authenticity. This exhibition is mad cool. Can’t wait to breathe it all in. Bravo Dan. xx
You're amazing, Daniel. Past present and future supporter to the end xxx

l love this dude. I really enjoyed this interview so happy I found it. good job !
My hero in every aspect thank you Daniel for being so open and honest and brave all my love to you 🙌🤘🫶🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰💯💯💯💯
Thank you!
Thank you for this Daniel, I can't put into words what your lyrics and voice did for me through my late teens n 20s.... I'm 46 now and still remember how magical the time was around 1997 when I was 21, it was such a golden time for Aussie music n festivals.
people really underestimate this mans sense of humour
He is so funny .. smart .. has a beautiful soul and smile .. a bit of a scoundrel .. ageing dam fine I say 😊😊💕
Agree! I love it. He's amazing in so many ways. 💖
Comic & Musical genius 😉
A million percent. 👌🏼
Yes. And the so seemingly unscripted and unforced interactions with fans at live shows, the ever changing emotion sickness, the hardship is unseen.
I found silverchair in MTV back when MTV was about music. First video and song i heard was freak. I was 13-14 just getting into music. I thought it was awesome to see 3 teens making music and touring and being on mtv. I wanted to be in a band, write music, and tour, but i got in a band wrote music but never toured... I struggle with some mental health issues, and it sucks.
I think i have overcome some of those issues after becoming a father but a lot of those struggles still linger ..
Love your music Daniel, you definitely are up there in the influential artists of the 90s- early 2000's...
Keep your head up and moving forward
Thankyou for continuing to share openly and authentically with us. You don’t have to do any of this, you don’t have to share at all, and yet you do.
Such a kind, delicate, brave soul. Just promise us you’ll keep creating and sharing your art with us. 💜💜💜💜
💜 - TeamFuture
The details in the shadows are sometimes the most beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wow just WOW
The one thing that struck me during this episode (well two actually) 1 was how humble Daniel has been throughout his life from a young man on SNL to now he has always felt like he didn't belong, like he wasn't good enough, to me that speaks volumes on how amazing of a man he is today, to go through all this as a child and to be on top but still be Daniel, its inspiring and sad, I wish he could look in the mirror and see what we see when we look at him, genuine and talented and beautiful on the inside as well as out ❤️
But also
2 he's so raw and truthful and you can see that it makes him anxious and uncomfortable bearing it to us by the way he plays with his hair when he's uncomfortable or moves in his seat but regardless of how hard it is for him to be in the spotlight talking about his life and himself he does it, he tells his story his way, from someone who has witnessed (from the outside) the rise and struggle of Daniel Johns I just want you to know I am so proud of you and so inspired by you, you have been through so much pain and still here you are ❤️ Beautiful.
🙌 - TeamFuture
If you could write the words ' Jodi wins the lotto' down, that would be much appreciated 😂❤️❤️
thank you Daniel for your openness and honesty. I wish more people would speak so candidly about their mental health struggles. To hear and see yourself represented so openly in the media and being loved and accepted for it is so refreshing. Keep being the amazing human you are. I look forward to anything and everything you release. ✌️❤️♾
💜 - TeamFuture
As a silverchair fan from Thailand, Daniel influenced me a lot also inspired me to learn English for getting into his great songs. Always support you Daniel, cheerful.
absolutly loving this series so far. Thank you Daniel for being so open and upfront.
I'm really enjoying this docuseries. Thanks for sharing so much with us. Whether you are a genius or not Daniel, you are so freaking talented, creative and inspiring!
💜 - TeamFuture
You don't know where the ship is going, but to see how far you sail ship into the nexus void, the place where songs come from, is one of the most inspiring journeys for me, as a fan and an artist, to witness in this life. Whilst I don't look to you for guidance per say, you have taught me a lot through the years; the greatest lesson being of self acceptance. You have embraced impossible outcomes and have pulled through. You teach me what's possible. Thanks for always stewarding me into the FutureNever!
THANK YOU for doing this man. I am inspired and moved by your open, honest, vulnerable moments here. Much love to you and yours!
Daniel, it's you that we admire, as much as your music. It's your candid discussions on your life, mental health and your processes, without pretension or arrogance. Humble, with compassion. You've soundtracked a lot of our lives, and continue to do so - it's your voice and your truth, yet somehow makes us think "someone out there feels how I feel" and communicates through the beauty of art. FutureNever is so you, it's magnificent: 'what's a genre?'
Got to shout out Mr Steele, too; you've both released remarkable records this year.
Keep being Daniel Johns.
Lovely comment, Dan would be very happy with this - TeamFuture
Welcome Quantum Daniel.
You're not crazy, you're entirely present!
I loved the heavy rock tones on the first few albums. Diorama is my favourite album. I'm a fellow Aussie SA born. I can't imagine the pressures of been a teen rock star at that age. I'm so glad you're doing well these days. Your music on Diorama got me through some tough times it's some of you guys best work :)
Sorry this is a bit long winded.
Thank you so much for all the amazing music and these videos. Looking forward to more awesome music from you.
Daniel you seem like an amazing and caring person :)
Love Josh ❤️
Beautiful note, we will share with Dan. Thank YOU - TeamFuture
It’s crazy how well he expresses himself when he’s writing music but in interviews he’s always so shy and awkward, I love him
My friend and I have been waiting for this episode since the first one ended :)
Thank you for being open and sincere. I enjoy listening to the stories you're telling in this series. It's a really well done documentary!
There is so much to digest after that, including how talented Purplegirl and is how awesome it is that she is dealing with the exposure safely and on her own terms! I have the ‘girls kick ass’ sticker on my keyboard ❤️
💜 - TeamFuture
I’m in hospital with a ruptured appendix, thing burst and leaked all through, not long out of surgery, and here I am, had some major complications thanks Dan the Man for everything you do, can’t wait for part three and what if the future never happened, it’s going to be 🔥, hopefully released to own and purchase? Physical copy would be awesome, thanks again brother
I like how Dan dealt with the Ben comment, he was very mature about it. Those who live in Australia especially Melbourne are very lucky to have the chance to see the exhibition, it looks amazing!
I grew up on post-grunge and nu-metal music in the early 2000’s. I remember seeing Silverchair in MTV and i liked the song (can’t remember witch one) but it didn’t stick with me, however the band name did. I’m 35 now, been a musician since i could walk basically, and just listen to Diorama for the first time. This album is one of few iv’e heard in my life that i would call a masterpiece. I hope i get to see Silvechair live at least once in my lifetime.
Daniel Johns is a gifted person who deserves to be happy, even if he doesn't realize how many people he has made and will continue to make happy. Thank you for coming back out in the light.
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
First saw you guys at reading festival 1999 and I was 16 , went to the festival just to see you guys . I am now 40 and still love your music ! Hope you get something from these interviews Daniel , keep smiling .
Dan will appreciate this - TeamFuture
Another great interview.
Thanks Dan & Megan.
Seems as though Daniel has properly had the chance to think about how / why / what his past has been, and to come to terms with the good, and not so good aspects of this.
That’s definitely not easy to do, and it’s a lot to get your head around.
I think the attitude of not putting constraints on anything ( such as future live performance etc ) is a good idea.
What will be, will be.
No need to be having a busy mind, and overthinking these type of things.
The upcoming movie with Rasmus looks to be really fantastic.
Looking forward to the next video with Megan. 👍
Silverchair was a huge part of my childhood, I used to have Frogstomp and Freakshow on either side of a cassette and listen on repeat. It's bittersweet though, to know how much Daniel suffered for his art. Eternally grateful for the influence on my musical journey through life.
Stay in the moment brother.
It's all any of us really have. 👊
Act 2 doesn't disappoint
Love that you are uncomfortably open and honest
Keep on being you Daniel
You are so loved
Much love X
🙌 - TeamFuture
Keep on being you, it’s real and appreciated, thanks for opening up and sharing your true story ♥️
Wonderful, love seeing your greater artistry bloom, from one artist to another :) Look forward to checking the exhibition out in Melbourne town :) Keep on in song
July 2024 - You are without a doubt, a musical genius. But even more importantly, you are so real and down to earth. You know human suffering, and handle it with such grace, compassion and a much needed sense of humor. We have never met, but you are absolutely one of my favorite people on Earth. I can’t wait to see what you do next. Wishing all the very best on your healing journey. ❤
Amazing again, Daniel is so genuinely kind. What a beautiful soul he is. 💗
You can see the emotions in his eyes as he is trying to explain the wave of emotions that was "Silverchair"...
Deep down, I would Love to see Silverchair re-unite, but if it isn't right then leave it. Breaks my heart seeing you with red eyes holding back your emotions in an interview, when you've been forced to hold back your emotions since you got famous and follow rules. Your music is genius to me. Geniuses inspire generations long after death... Mozart, Einstein....
And you have done just that, and still alive 🍻🙌
Get well soon mate. Everyone loves a come back 🤙🇦🇺🍻
Life wouldn't be the same "without YOU" 🙌
P.s. is Robin still haunting you? Just be you mate 🙌🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺 "I'm watching you watch over me" 🙏🏻
I have to say this really is actual impactful, insightful and helpful/practical commentary and advice on mental health and just the way all humans learn and evolve, regret and ultimately how to come to an understanding that we can't rewind the clock but we can picture our future selves and where we want to go and what we want to be and how we want to live. Cheers Daniel.
Lovely comment, Dan would be very happy with this - TeamFuture
8.13pm Daniel at 56 mate have experienced very similar feelings and anxiety as yourself .
Your journey has given me strength and yourself buddy just keep going with the knowledge that you have helped me tremendously .
Thank you
"Next week in"!!! Glad to see there's a date... Since I first saw the trailer, I couldn't wait to watch it!!! Great expectation for another great art on the way....!!!
Hi Daniel, I wish I could give back more than just this apology for being one of the army of your fans and contributed to taking your life away from you in a way. You gave me so much when I was growing up and I am so proud to be your fan. I see the responsibility you still feel for being so influential and it's beautiful. Your influence has made my life so much better and you are still doing that. Thanks for bringing your warmth out to the world. You have always and are still making this world a much better place.
Laughed and wept through and admired this a lot. You're a beautiful soul Daniel thank you for the music 🙏💜🦋

Glad you’re loving it - TeamFuture
He went through so much. Breaks my heart. Ill forever miss new music from them/him. Ive always and will always love Daniel!
Daniel, it's great to see you looking happy and healthy. Being a similar age, I have grown up with your music as it has evolved, and it has aways been cathartic for me. It has helped me through many tough and dark times. Thank you. Wishing you every best wish and happiness for your future, whatever shape that may take.

Daniel, you’re such a magical and wonderful artist. I’m so glad you’ve slayed those dragons and you’re still here to tell the tale.

Fascinating interview with Daniel. He is a rare talent & produces unique art in all its forms. Sad that Ben is out there talking trash about his long time friend.
Mr Daniel Johns thank u for allowing us to be with u on this amazing journey of yours I just felt I needed to say how much your art has helped me your music has always made me feel alive and in reality as I suffer with ptsd anxiety and major depression and at a point I was isolating myself but now I’m trying so hard to challenge myself and leave the house and Daniel u have helped me do that I brought my tickets for the exhibition and I’m going this Saturday and if it wasn’t for your exhibition I would be struggling to see life outside my home so I owe u a big thank u and thank u so so much for opening up about your struggles so I want to send u so much love and support ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing, we’ve passed this on to Dan - TeamFuture
@@DanielJohnsHQ thank u so much ❤️
Oh so wise, knowing the truth way back then, you are such a beautiful sensitive soul. You are so incredibly lucky to feel all that you feel, as hard as that may of been at times. Go you for being able to express and articulate your life story, owning it, healing you and so many others on the way. Openness is love, thank you! Big love to you Dan. ❤️
💜💜💜 thank you for the kind words - TeamFuture
Watching these episodes has made me re-listen to all the CD's again.I absolutely love them all, Diorama and Neon Ballroom are the best and just dont age! you are a true legend and so talented.
I love emotion sickness and world upon your shoulders
Very cool. Your really going the full Bowie. All in artistically speaking. Also reminds me how great D4NGRSBOY is. Looking forward to all your new music🔥❤️
Another terrific episode can't wait for the next one. Love you Dan :)
Ben’s comment about Daniel’s song being “simple” seems like it was meant to be an insult but in reality writing simple songs is the hardest damn thing to do.
Either way this series has been really cool so far! Loving the content and openness. Been a big fan for a long time! Keep up the good work.
You have impacted my life in ways you could've never imagine man. So proud of you man. Thanks for everything, what a great example of a human being you are
