If you're watching this video you might be a Silverchair/Daniel Johns fan. What's your favourite Silverchair song?
I'm torn between Straight Lines and Emotion Sickness.
No association for me :) the 3 first albums of sc are my favorites.
Hard to choose but if I had to say one ‘After all these years’
This song moves me beyond words 💖
Excellent review! Cheers from Argentina.
To me Satin Sheets maybe the song. I grow up listening Silverchair, I went through the same kind of things that the sound of the album when they were release. Diorama help me a lot. Cheers
@@iemisebastian Thanks! Diorama really is an amazing album. Such a shame that it never really got the exposure it deserved... but in a way it's also a little bit like a hidden gem because Daniel couldn't really promote it
@Jb88 Tuna in the Brine is genius
I've always thought Daniel is super underrated as a creative force. I never understood why a single book hadn't been written about him.
Very happy to see that is now the case.
Gotta find a copy now...
I work at a used book store....so maybe we can order it. Fingers crossed...
i can't get my hands on a physical copy of the book, so seeing this video has helped me heaps with the concept of it! Thank you for this amazing video! You definitely deserve more subscribers :)
omg hey queen
@@yaz3964 YOURE THE REAL QUEEN HERE OMG
My favourite Silverchair album's is Neon Ballroom, and Young Modern. Also my favourite Silverchair song's would be Emotion Sickness, and definitely Paint Pastel Princess. Cheers, and Thankyou. I brought the Book about a year or so ago, & it's exactly the same as the 2 previous Silverchair Books that Jeff Apter has written about Silverchair. All Jeff Apter has done has added to the Silverchair/Daniel Johns history since his 2 previous books. And I mean word for word, I could not believe that it was word to word. Jeff Apter has written some good books but this was or is just a cheap way for Jeff to get a quick buck. I agree 100%+ with what you have said, in your opinion regarding this Book. Thankyou. From Tom from Sydney NSW Australia.
I know Daniel is a very private person understandably but I do wish he would write a Autobiography.
I totally love him as an artist and have a huge interest in him as a person, I have been since day one.
Untitled is such a beautiful and under rated song
Thanks for the review Pip. I agree with most of what you said. I was disappointed that Jeff didn't get into the indefinite hiatus a little more with Silverchair. Disappointed there were no interviews with Chris or Ben about Daniel. Infact, there seemed to be a distinct lack of fresh content (As you mentioned). I don't know if Jeff was just going through the motions on this one to pay the mortgage.
I would have liked to known a little more about the management team and what they did to try and get Daniels head together. Why did the parents not jump in more to and pull Daniel aside and address the ongoing issues. Why did Daniel stay in Newcastle and Sydney where he was hiding in plain sight of the paps and a target for nutter fans. Maybe it was their unwanted attention that made Daniel feel complete. Again, all things good management would/should have addressed and worked with Daniel to face his demons. Jeff almost praises Daniels consumption of weed, but you have to ask how much that caused or contributed to the psychotic issues.
equilibrium of creative control is lost, Daniel might as well have gone his own way. Maybe he was too scared to go it alone at the time. I also felt the management should have stepped in at that point and said, "do what ever you want on the side, Silverchair need to evolve as the three of you evolve". And again, this would have given Danial the freedom he craved with his own projects and the opportunity to work with the other guys and produce music flavoured by the three. If Daniel no longer had an interest, maybe he should have walked away after Frog.
All the best to Daniel and his future music evolution. DREAMS sound a good producer short of a single. They need someone in the studio willing to throw ideas at them and get them to step up from their current comfort zone. Not a pal or a buddy, but someone they respect enough to butt heads with and take on board. Doing exactly what you want to do is fine, it's people outside your back slapping bubble that will make you a better artist.
Great book review! I'm sure you're loving the Who is Daniel Johns ? podcast. It's so awesome 🤘🏻
I am 100% listening and loving
Thank you so much for introducing this book of Denial Jones Surely I will check it out in my opinion.
Just finished the book and it was great! glad to finally discover how these songs were written and stories of how the records were made and their live experiences.Definitely a must for fans.!
Olá Scott!!Eu sou do Brasil..e eu adoraria que tivesse esse livro em português para que eu pudesse ler
Thank u...this is very honest review..i like it, actually i love all silverchair' s song but ana's song hold the special place iny heart
You’re review is great. I share some of your comments and thoughts about DJ. I’m looking for this book for months but can’t find it in my country (& tomorrow never knows too), too bad :(
Gracias por tu análisis sincero, thanks.
Great review btw....very honest and insightful.
And I can tell, like me, you're a legit passionate fan of Daniel and Silverchair. I very much appreciate your insights. Thanks!
Daniel is such an incredible human being....a true creative genius, and hugely underappreciated. But his life has been rather tragic in many ways. I really feel for the guy. I admire him immensely....and I just want the best for him at this point. I just hope he's truly happy, regardless if he ever makes new music.
Thanks
Very nice review. Big hug from Argentina, fan since 96' here.
Great video! Silverchair = Change, Change = Silverchair
Thanks for the review
I love Straight Lines too but for very different reasons. I used to play Young Modern in the car with my 3 yr old son in the back seat and he would say ‘play the toy shop song’ as he associated ‘Straight Lines’ with going to Toy World. To this day we still call it the toy shop song (and he is now 15 lol).
Hahaha. Love it. It would be a great song to pep you up for a toy shop visit
I love frogstomp
I had the same impression.
There are some valuable information not easy to find, but there are a lot of things that you literally find on youtube comments.
too bad we're not gonna be able to see a reunion.. he said that on his latest interview
he's still going to create music but not performing ever again.
I know. But you could almost hear him wanting to be physically sick at the thought so I kind of hope he doesn't go back.
Why did they break up besides Daniel's desire to go in different directions creatively? Does the book say anything about that?
Mostly just that Daniel wanted to explore much different styles of music that really weren't "silverchair". It sounds like tension was created between Ben and Daniel because Ben's mum was pushing him to get songwriting credits and therefore more money. Also sounds like fame and his various health issues really isolated Daniel from Ben (and Chris). Ben really was his best friend and then... they just grew apart.
Ok. Thanks for the reply.
Has this book covered anything about his personal life like about Natalie Imbruglia also how he dealt his school along with tours?
It's while... but it definitely talked about school a bit. Natalie... I don't remember so maybe only briefly
Just finished the book, and there was a little of Imbruglia taking care of him at one of his low points the courting and marriage. a lot about school and tours.what was great was explaining all the inner workings of song creation and album writing, and band member relations.
I can find this at a Library?!
That's where I found it.
Daniel used to had a lot of talent nowadays is just a waste of talent.
Frogstomp was their only good album
Ha. No.
lol....not even close. Are you even remotely a fan?
In my own opinion....from best to worst: Diorama, Young Modern, Neon Ballroom, Freak Show, Frog Stomp.
Are U high!?!?!? The albums neon ballroom and diorama are some of the most creative albums ever they went from grunge to the most creative stuff ever. Daniel Proggressed so much as a song writer and is amazing. Listen to the album diorama and correct yourself seriously
ur a clown
Bruh, you've been on a damn basement since 1995.
