I love Daniel so much. I'm also a male, 16, battling Anorexia Nervosa for control reasons. And 1999 Daniel gives me so much hope and comfort. And like him I have severe, crippling Anxiety and Depression. But honestly Ana's Song and Suicidal Dream and Daniels life, helps me get by💙
It was probably because he felt like he had no control, so moving out and taking control of how you live your life was a possible solution. Didn't turn out well, but it wasn't wrong to suggest.
saw them at Reading in Aug 99 - front row, total fangirl. He looked ready to drop, poor thing - ribs sticking out through his top and everything, and that was when he was going through re-feeding. He seems very happy (and mostly stoned) nowadays - this is a good thing :D
He really is beautiful. That could have been a problem for him too. Even the prettiest, skinniest people have issues. They don't always look at themselves like everyone else does and have perfect lives. I'm sorry, but I've noticed when a guy hits on me (usually in a perverted way, like licking his lips at me or even one guy touching me), I feel so disgusted with my body. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, DJ helps me through my eating/body issues. I love this guy and relate to him in so many ways.
THANK YOU! Honestly, I just related to much of what he sings about on Neon Ballroom. I think it's safe to say it had a huge hand in my still being alive today.
It may be that this line is about a larger experience of Anorexia than just his personal struggle. He may also be suggesting that at the time, he didn't realize how unhealthy he had become or how bad he looked - one of the symptoms of Anorexia and of malnourishment in general is that your perception of your body is warped.
I dont care if people says he is freak or that he is gay. I know he is not gay and that he could be some freak but he is an artist, a real artist generally has emotional disorders, I think think anyways the best record are frogstomp and freakshow, but he is an artist and I support him to the most. AGUANTE DANIEL!!
He left home not b/c of his Anorexia. If anything isolation makes it worse b/c you have no one watching you unlike in hospitals where theres doctors supervising you, duh, so if he was seeing a therapist for eating they would never say go move out,so he was probably seeing a therapist for anger issues. He said in interviews that he would go home and break stuff and snap at people.
Also he said he wanted to leave his house b/c he had locked himself up in his room for 2 years b/c he was afraid of being beaten up. Age 16-18, hence the song and video for Cemetery
I think it's good that music can speak to people about their own lives but I felt the opposite to most people on here and that listening to Neon Ballroom made me kind of mope around when actually things weren't so bad
been looking to remedy somthing about afew songs i like. this vid is the one to explain the emotions. after watching all the interviews this one is the most posotive..
@Ramoa111 hhhmm... From the earliest interviews with the band. They (Ben and Daniel) both mention that their influences were hugely from what their parents listened to. Such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin from the age 8 ........... And the band name was from a book called the silver chair. check it out on wikipedia, ohh and that had nothing to do with nirvana either. Nice line though.. with the whole quantum physics thing....
@meldasue i don't think those circumstances makes silverchair an imitator. there are plenty of bands who have similar line-ups. you can tell frogstomp is influenced by grunge, like a lot of music at the time was, but i wouldn't suggest they were copying or impersonating nirvana or kurt cobain at all
but that means he had a wrong body image.cause when you're below 50kg at 1,80m height and you DONT see that you're too thin,you don't see the changes it is simply a wrong body image. Yeah but maybe he didn't really want to admit that.
he's kind of a pot head bogan these days - but considering the years of misery and pain, I say - carry on. I figure the pot use came in as a way to deal with the arthritis and it kinda stuck. He deserves happiness - I adore all 3 of them
I know this interview came later, after he was starting to get better, but you can hear in his voice how weak he was. With severe anorexia [I've seen, not a 1st person POV] a person is too weak to get a good breath and speak.
there's one thing i just don't get.He says that it was never about a negative body image and he never felt too fat,but why is he singing "in my head the flesh seemed thicker" in Ana's song???Isn't that contradictory????
look at him.. you really think it's bullshit? have you SEEN any of the interviews from earlier that year? the guy was a complete wreck. anxiety depression anorexia and all. he wasnt out to exploit his problems, they were just the emotional basis of his songs. he was brave enough to release ana's song which meant he evenually had to talk about his e.d. it's not a fun thing to go through. oh and i think they did like what THREE shows in 98?
Big..concert...Music all time...yeah its the best !! food !when you have to sing ..and play music you have not the same need of food...cause music is food...your mind is full of this!! Hmm...only the musician understand this !! Sorry for my bad english !
I read in an interview he said sometimes he would go home and break stuff and through fits so maybe thats why the therapist told him to go chill out, also in a Roads Report a fan said they overheard John Watson talking to someone about his mom saying "Do you have to say fuck" and he was all "Why cant i say fuck? You know what mom,fuck you" or something like that. Idk w/e.. more pointless information i thought someone might like to know. lol
Depressed music appeals to me more. Not because they are trying to be depressed but because they are simply telling the truth.. It’s honesty pure and raw and I can connect with that.
He killed hisself (and the band) changing that way. Ain't a shame that they goes by the hand of different band styles just to go with the music flow? They should remain as they were supposed to be...Just my opinion...don't attack me...haha
Jesus. Silverchair was ignited/inspired/born FROM Nirvana. We're not talking quantum physics here! Johns probably wouldnt even have grabbed a guitar ever if it wasnt for NIrvana. I mean, even their name! Remember where it came from! It's cool thou. Silverchair moved my bones just as much as Nirvana. I really miss Silverchair...

Same here. Im 18, a male and have been struggling for almost 2 years now.
@@aleksastamenkovic5526 hey I'm sorry to hear that man. I wish you a full/mostly full recovery🤞🕊
I can't believe how open he's always been. Amazing, the things he told the public while still so young. Immensely talented dude to be certain.
Yeah and look at his eyes here. Signs early on. ruclips.net/video/J30OmzhSdRY/видео.html
You can hear in his voice how exhausted and drained he is.
Very sad.
he helped many of us from his songs. He made me think I am not the only one that feel depress. I love him for that.
what therapist says " Your depressed so move in to a house where you'll be alone all the time. "
It was probably because he felt like he had no control, so moving out and taking control of how you live your life was a possible solution. Didn't turn out well, but it wasn't wrong to suggest.
yeah that solution could've worked for some but not all.
Right!
Daniel was sweet, honest and very courageous boy who shared his struggles and undoubtedly helped many others in the same boat 💗
Daniel went through hell back then he is a survivor I love him so much unconditionally as a fellow human being
I watch this when I feel like I'm getting anxious and it reminds me that I'm not alone.. Not many people understand it and it gets very frustrating!
I feel like John Snorous and mtv news fucking exploited him terribly on this. You could tell he still wasn't well and was quite vulnerable still.
Daniel is so brave, talk about the problem (Ana or mia)always help.

True he’s happier but the creativity has sadly been zapped right out of him
@@ckotcher1 You can say that about a lot of us.. Not much sparks to go around when we're "living" in a cemetery, toxic cesspit.
He really is beautiful. That could have been a problem for him too. Even the prettiest, skinniest people have issues.

This is so relate to me, still struggling to come over anorexia
@@gracesarahoktovina8781 Sending love 💕💕
You made a very good point, especially with the sexism part.
THANK YOU! Honestly, I just related to much of what he sings about on Neon Ballroom. I think it's safe to say it had a huge hand in my still being alive today.
wow, finally this was uploaded! thanks so much!
I just want to give him a big hug :(
*
His music was the only think i could relate to. I was really depressed back then.
It’s crazy to think in the 90s we still used to film tv using potatoes
Why would the therapist tell this child to isolate himself from his friends and family ?? I don’t get that . No wonder he spiraled ...
It may be that this line is about a larger experience of Anorexia than just his personal struggle.

AGUANTE DANIEL!!
Bisexual.. I have radar bro
Even if he was gay though
He’s such a beautiful beautiful boy. So sensitive and fragile which is like heroin to the ladies. Especially this lady 👈🏻
Why would a therapist suggest leaving the support of his parents house to living alone which worsened his condition.
i love you 1999
Daniel johns ❤
@Tr8ersInShallowWater That was really nice from you to transcript the whole interview. Wow, thank you.
He left home not b/c of his Anorexia. If anything isolation makes it worse b/c you have no one watching you unlike in hospitals where theres doctors supervising you, duh, so if he was seeing a therapist for eating they would never say go move out,so he was probably seeing a therapist for anger issues.

Jesus christ, Id hate it if the media reported on my personal problems!
I think it's good that music can speak to people about their own lives but I felt the opposite to most people on here and that listening to Neon Ballroom made me kind of mope around when actually things weren't so bad

He seems weak in this era but he was so charsmatic
Don’t mind me I like this but is it a report from his therapist sessions or what ?
silverchair interview 99.
I know this interview came later, after he was starting to get better, but you can hear in his voice how weak he was. With severe anorexia [I've seen, not a 1st person POV] a person is too weak to get a good breath and speak.
um yeah people stop talking about your damn weights on here. Jesus.
there's one thing i just don't get.He says that it was never about a negative body image and he never felt too fat,but why is he singing "in my head the flesh seemed thicker" in Ana's song???Isn't that contradictory????
I think he meant something different
Pretty sure he meant as a person that suffers from this it might mean he thinks he looks fine but in reality looks like a skeleton in a way
Poor bby he must have been so sick 😭 ily Daniel ❤️❤️😻😻
❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
look at him.. you really think it's bullshit? have you SEEN any of the interviews from earlier that year? the guy was a complete wreck. anxiety depression anorexia and all. he wasnt out to exploit his problems, they were just the emotional basis of his songs. he was brave enough to release ana's song which meant he evenually had to talk about his e.d. it's not a fun thing to go through.

here.. its like Tidus of FFX
odd i've never seen anything about these guys on MTV :/
Big..concert...Music all time...yeah its the best !! food !when you have to sing ..and play music you have not the same need of food...cause music is food...your mind is full of this!! Hmm...only the musician understand this !! Sorry for my bad english !

Idk w/e.. more pointless information i thought someone might like to know. lol
he's amazing
He's so thin o.o
FrankieUtka he was anorexic
oh alrite then.
i dont know why, but depressed guys apeal to me much more...
[well, actually maybe i do know...]
Depressed music appeals to me more. Not because they are trying to be depressed but because they are simply telling the truth.. It’s honesty pure and raw and I can connect with that.

zpider96 he didn't kill himself omg,he's still alive!
@@jennysholts7058 I believe they meant it metaphorically. As in, he killed himself as an artist.
weigh
I mean, Johns even moved like Kurt!
Jesus. Silverchair was ignited/inspired/born FROM Nirvana. We're not talking quantum physics here! Johns probably wouldnt even have grabbed a guitar ever if it wasnt for NIrvana.
