Saw this live that morning. I remember waking up early and watching at the hotel. I saw them live that night. Daniel sounded much better that night. Got to even hang out with him while he smoked a cigarette outside his tour bus. Great show that night!
I was searching for "Straight Lines live" on RUclips and found this. I'm from Atlanta and have watched this show when I've been up early enough (5-7am?). Silverchair are BY FAR the best band to ever grace this television studio. Believe me. They usually have on artists that your 55-year-old aunt would be into. (Think local Barry Manilow or Michael Bolton wannabes). Anyway, I haven't watched this vid yet b/c I was THAT shocked to see they played this show. Ok, back to viewing...
"Yeah.. we feel overwhelmed and very grateful that people are embracing it and listening to it and... everything" *chuckles* Dan is completely taking the piss there lol. All he wants to do is get the song over and done with. Doesn't want to be there haha.
Ben's kit, some guitars and synths and samplers were lost on the preceding flight. Thats why Ben is on the mini kit with no cymbals, Chris was straight to DI, the hired keys were out of tune etc... Dan's voice had gone... way too early in the morning... The best part is Dan dealing with the anchor, i thought he did a great and hilarious job.
watching this make me realize i am growing older.. i wish i can back to my teenage time.. So sorry to other countries. This woman's personality is grating.
@artharmonic75 Considering how these generic morning shows usually are (they certainly aren't music-oriented), she was pretty well-informed and asked reasonable questions. Yeah, she's got that annoying broadcaster voice, but most of 'em do. These shows aren't for rabid fans, they're for the casual listener -- it was an effort to widen Silverchair's audience, so I think you'd be happy. :-) In any case, it's a great song.
hahaha i Love Daniel, hes just so blunt with his answers, he's just like shut up lady, your annoying, haha psychedelic pop?!?!?, what in the world?!?!.... love how he descibes it, "pop music thats not normal" hahah...awesome performance!
LOL Daniel was just entirely unprepared for the way this host talks! In his first three responses you can hear him try to match the same teleprompter enthusiasm as the host. =D
I was at their very first American tour concert in Portland (July 19) after they had canceled all those shows in L.A. cause of Daniel's laryngitis, and he sang it flawlessly. This video was posted just a few days after that concert... apparently he can't sing in the morning, haha. I think he's getting better as their tour goes on, though. But I agree, it's his fault he can't sing his own song.
I wonder if this was before the show or the next day, because the boys stayed in a hotel the night of the show rather than riding on the bus. At least, that's what all of the roadies said.
It's called a Go-Kit. It's so that he doesn't overpower the song with percussion. This is a small set on a morning show, not a stadium. The whole thing's kind of toned down for that reason.
Daniel couldn't get a break when it came to the US. He had arthritis during the Diorama tour and couldn't come to the US. Then this group of appearances he had laryngitis. Plus this song is crazy high to sing. I saw them live in LA and he did a much better job.
I totally agree with you. They deserve so much more for having 5 #1 albums in Australia. Ben needs cymbals for his drum set, it would help capture the magic of the song. They look so sick of playing that song. There is so many better songs off of Young Modern.
Holy shit. No one ever realises how integral the key is to setting up a perfect emotional and mental image. Probably not for you or me on morning TV, but certainly for tonnes of people, including Johns who wrote the damn thing. If it wasn't in the key it's in now, the album would not sound as cohesive and impactful as it does now. He's never admitted to being foremost a vocalist, only a creator of MUSIC so stop slamming people for making up their own mind about what to do with their own work.
Such a shame this was the last silverchair. In the late 90s they reached big shows like Letterman, SNL, Mtv... After 2005 the band turned into a complete brit pop kinda shit.
Daniel Johns is seriously the most attractive man i've ever seen XD I love Silverchair! So sorry to other countries. This woman's personality is grating.
haha you can blatantly tell that Daniel isn't a morning person Daniel Johns is seriously the most attractive man i've ever seen XD I love Silverchair! he is like shut up and get this going damn hahah
I wonder if Ben and Chris quietly regret/resent Paul Mac getting involved with Daniel and their band? 🤔 I have this impression he could've been regarded as equivalent to Yoko's effect on the dynamics within the Beatles.
Letting "him do his thing" is what put Silverchair in the ground. Once it stopped being a band they sank into obscurity. Which is fine since it seems like what Daniel wanted anyways. As far as better or worse, it's all subjective.
The song has a line that goes: WAKING UP STRONG IN THE MODERN (which basically sounds like morning) Let's put them on a morning show we'll see how that goes... Well, that's how it went.....
haha you can blatantly tell that Daniel isn't a morning person Woah Daniel don't get to excited Woman: “Blah blah blah tour lay blah album.” Daniel: “So What was our first album called?”
well yeah i mean he would have been pelting it in the studio, not many people could pull off what he did back when his vocal chords were capable of what they were!
@@HeinousAnusOG That's the problem. You should *not* do shit in the studio that you cannot pull off live if you ever plan on playing shows. It's a sure way to disappoint your fans.
Its sad to know a fan who dont know their musician well.. he sang well in the across the great divine concert, which he was doing great during that period.. and most of the touring performances was done by him while having laryngitis.. a condition which wont allow his vocal projection to be its best.. shameful to not know this.. seriously..
Saw this live that morning. I remember waking up early and watching at the hotel. I saw them live that night. Daniel sounded much better that night. Got to even hang out with him while he smoked a cigarette outside his tour bus. Great show that night!
i bet ben was like "..the fuck? i haven't played a kit like this since i was 14".
he is like shut up and get this going damn hahah
she is actually doing a good job. he is just shy
Awwwww!! I love hearing Daniel said good morning Atlanta! I’m a Georgia native!! 😁☺️🥰
Daniel is so awkward....i love it.
Daniel is so soft spoken. I love this man.
haha you can blatantly tell that Daniel isn't a morning person
He's super shy since his 18's
Mornings are for sleeping 😴
"waking up strong in the morning" . irony.

poor daniel looks like he just woke up an hour ago. Singing right when you wake up is near impossible
Actually sometimes morning voice sounds incredible
Give that man a crash cymbal D:
Still better than many of today's over night Reality TV stars. Silverchair Rocked harder than many bands from that era.
Yes!!!!
"Yeah.. we feel overwhelmed and very grateful that people are embracing it and listening to it and... everything" *chuckles* Dan is completely taking the piss there lol. All he wants to do is get the song over and done with. Doesn't want to be there haha.
So cool that Paul Mac went on the road with them. So sad I missed out.
Seriously good drumming from Ben, even on that toy kit, at 4:20
Yes 😂
I empathize with that morning voice, Jesus.
yeah but ironically the lyrics are another story. lol
@@globalnova yeah hahaha
I love his rough voice.
i like how Dan is so shy and so artsy and expressive at the same time. His Taurus energy is radiating off his art
I prefer this song played live
in record is too fuckin clean and pretty
watching this make me realize i am growing older.. i wish i can back to my teenage time..
I'm so old that when this song was released I was already 25 :o
This is new to me. I really like it.
oh man those morning shows to rockers are just killer ugh i feel bad for them, its like tape that shit the night before lol
Daniel's thinking, "it's way too early to be singing besides the fact we're playing a morning show in Atlanta on Fox 5...". Lol.
😂
😂lol

Way too early
THIS SONG IS JUST THE BEST LIVE!!
where are the cymbals?!?!?!
Yeah, what the hell hahahaha
@@JonnyBoyOfficial lost in transit
@@ihatekillerclowns ah ok
Love this song so much!!
watching this make me realize i am growing older.. i wish i can back to my teenage time..
So sorry to other countries. This woman's personality is grating.
brutal voice!
Every live video I’ve seen Joannou always looks like he doesn’t want to be there.
Glad to see they are out and about again. Underrated band IMO
This was over 10 years ago, they have since broken up :(
u kidding? chris loved silverchair! you can see how happy he was during the live performances! his jumps and his facial expressions!
So raw sound like it
daniel john's voice it's fuckin' cool
NEWCASTLE, NEWCASTLE, NEWCASTLE!!!
Is a shithole, shithole, shithole.

Beautiful 😍
Ben rocking the Ringo Starr kit
He got laryngites (dunno how it's spelled in English) at that time, so that's why his voice is like that. At least they didn't do a playback.
Good video! I'm liked and share 874 times :D
LOL Daniel was just entirely unprepared for the way this host talks! In his first three responses you can hear him try to match the same teleprompter enthusiasm as the host. =D
😂😅
Who wakes up at that time? I'm just going to bed at that time lol. But I'd love to fall asleep after listening to this. Best band EVER.
That is 1 lucky lady!
Daniel is so awkward....i love it.
ben's stache, lol he kinda looks like a 70's porn star. gotta love em
Poor Daniel, his voice was not helping him during this tour. It still sounds amazing though!
Daniel johns meu anjinho ❤
So sorry to other countries. This woman's personality is grating.
she is just doing her job. don't be an anti American American. most foreigners will just see you as a virtue signalling clown and VERY ameircan
Every daytime show on earth is like this.
Woah Daniel don't get to excited

They first tour on USA was in 1995
LOL omg Ben and his little cutie baby drumkit 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️

yup

The begin of the end

poor daniel! he´s so sick
Daniel is so awkward....i love it.
I love his rough voice.
They would probably not be making it in music, if they were not already known.
Why...WHY didnt Ben include this epic moment in the new book? Would of been great
I totally agree with you. They deserve so much more for having 5 #1 albums in Australia. Ben needs cymbals for his drum set, it would help capture the magic of the song. They look so sick of playing that song. There is so many better songs off of Young Modern.
That drum kit tho 😂😂😂 poor Ben!
poor daniel! he´s so sick
Also, I just have to say, this was much better than their performance on Jay Leno.
Holy shit. No one ever realises how integral the key is to setting up a perfect emotional and mental image. Probably not for you or me on morning TV, but certainly for tonnes of people, including Johns who wrote the damn thing. If it wasn't in the key it's in now, the album would not sound as cohesive and impactful as it does now. He's never admitted to being foremost a vocalist, only a creator of MUSIC so stop slamming people for making up their own mind about what to do with their own work.
crash cymbals banned?
Probably for not doing so much noise in the studio haha
Daniel Johns=rock god
Soo smokin'
seriously.. where are the fucking cymbals?
Such a shame this was the last silverchair. In the late 90s they reached big shows like Letterman, SNL, Mtv... After 2005 the band turned into a complete brit pop kinda shit.
You might wanna go easy on that kind of self-promotion mate. IMO, it makes people tend to think you have little self respect as a group.
@rockandroll4life1 He's a shy guy. He's not very rockstar like, he says so himself.
well it is A very good song..sure he can sing well..
5 star to all of them..
The compression killed this song.
Daniel Johns is seriously the most attractive man i've ever seen XD I love Silverchair!
So sorry to other countries. This woman's personality is grating.
What?
haha you can blatantly tell that Daniel isn't a morning person

'rockandroll4life1'....because he is a genius
Why the -2??? I'm a Silverchair fan people!
Ben’s kit looks so small haha
oh man.. that was funny
every performance from...august in advance is been good, you're stuck on old videos man. check more recern ones ;)
ha, his nervous answer to her question at 0:44 is just hilarious!
love him, love the whole band!
So many repeat comments or am I going insane?
hahhha same
How could it be possible that Daniel Johns was a better singer when he was younger ? This is so sad...
He was sick bro
Daniel's raw, gritty, 5 am vocals are far better than anything you Frogstomp stuck trolls could ever hope to achieve. Let him do his thing.
Amanda Marie lol lol lol lol lol thank you for that! I needed that retarded comment!
Letting "him do his thing" is what put Silverchair in the ground. Once it stopped being a band they sank into obscurity. Which is fine since it seems like what Daniel wanted anyways. As far as better or worse, it's all subjective.
Nice post, Brian!
he had laringitis at this point ...
This was a few weeks after laryngitis. He was better, but his voice got progressively rougher as the tour went on again.
Why is she YELLING !!!!!!!!!! GEEZE...lol
lol lets be honest his vocals were NOT great but They were definitely not bad enough for someone who was suffering from laringitis.
My god, that was embarrassing and awkward.
Woman: “Blah blah blah tour lay blah album.”
Daniel: “So What was our first album called?”
The song has a line that goes: WAKING UP STRONG IN THE MODERN (which basically sounds like morning)
Let's put them on a morning show we'll see how that goes...
Well, that's how it went.....
haha you can blatantly tell that Daniel isn't a morning person
Woah Daniel don't get to excited
Woman: “Blah blah blah tour lay blah album.”
Daniel: “So What was our first album called?”
BWA HA HA it's on a morning show? That's crazy...
hahahahaha daniel too funny
Why is silverchair on Fox news 5? LOL he's got to be asking himself this is weird right?
It's hard to find any live performance of Daniel Johns being able to sing this song well.
Shame really.
well yeah i mean he would have been pelting it in the studio, not many people could pull off what he did back when his vocal chords were capable of what they were!
Samba Trombada Rodriguez- He had issues with his voice at this time period. He about lost his singing voice... it was some type of illness.
@@HeinousAnusOG That's the problem. You should *not* do shit in the studio that you cannot pull off live if you ever plan on playing shows. It's a sure way to disappoint your fans.
He had laryngitis at that time, he put lot of effort while singing, so shut the f*ck up 😤
Its sad to know a fan who dont know their musician well.. he sang well in the across the great divine concert, which he was doing great during that period.. and most of the touring performances was done by him while having laryngitis.. a condition which wont allow his vocal projection to be its best.. shameful to not know this.. seriously..
It's not that strange... look at Tool fans, (previous) Phish fans, Radiohead fans, etc.
lol YEAH America is weird. I've been living here for 2 years and I still don't get used to that
I like OLD silverchair _|_
Best Silverchair song. He sounds MUCH better here than he did on Leno.
He was sick on Leno!
this chorus is hard to sing. if you not properly warmed up your voice will break.
Wow this materials vastly different than frogstomp...just say no to prozac kids
dan's all suga he's so sweet.
and poor ben, lol.
mediocre for them but probably one of the best 8am's in history.. if not the first .. ??
Daniel Johns, hahahah.
Unfortunate they didnt do there own shit like first cd. Not great.
