- With the recent release of Ben and Chris' new book in response to Daniel Johns' podcast, a Silverchair reunion looks evermore unlikely. In this video I chat about the ABC documentary and the current state of Silverchair.

2:05 What they have been up to since
3:35 Ben and Chris' book and doco, issues with song rights

Anyone else think Ben and Chris should write some tunes together?
I'm surprised they haven't done so already
@@TimmyTickleI watched their doco on Australian story and apparently chris hasn't touched music since silverchair ended. idk if he exaggerated but that shit is intense
Didn't they have another band together for a bit?
They could call it goldenbench

Nothing like drama to sell a book, love it. We haven't witnessed Ben & Chris pull off a album without Daniel. Maybe that speaks volumes to Daniels incredible input in Silverchair.
the 2 of them could form a band and lhave their choice pick of musicians in the country if they wanted to. there'd be heaps lining up to play with them..
NOBODY every denied daniles imput. that doesnt mean that ben and chris dont have their side of the story
Daniel hasnt pulled off a good albun without em either
I fell in love with silverchair back in 95. I saw them on mtv opening for rhcp. I join the llama appreciation society❤. Im from the US and to receiving air mail from Australia, from my favorite group, it felt magical. Every time they released an album i was like 'whoa, this is different'. Each album lives in my heart but i guess neon ballroom and diorama makes me feel ♥️🎆🎉🌠✈🌧🌌🌹all at once. As to each individual of the group i love them. Im proud of them. I love Daniel's music especially Talk and the ep before that. I like ben's drum videos and it was awesome to hear from ben and chris in the documentary. Im really glad chris decided to be part of the doc. I wish each one happiness and success and life. I only would want more if its right for all of them.
Daniel is an artist and musician in it’s truest form. He wanted to explore other music and ways of expression. The fact that he was treated as a cash cow didn’t help anything. He was expected to continue producing the goods regardless of his Anorexia, Arthritis and Mental Health battles, because at the end of the day, people wanted to continue being paid.
That was the one thing I couldn’t reconcile last year while listening to Daniel’s podcasts and the 3 part CZcams thing he made. He kept talking about the Silverchair legacy and how that was so important. But still refuses the Hall of Fame induction? The actions don’t match the words.
When you’re spiraling and drunk all the time it’s hard to make sense.🤷🏻♀️
He also said he didnt want to go into the hall of fame because he hadnt finished yet? Maybe he did mean silverchair who knows
Listen - these are two grown men who have every right to tell their story!! This is their experience not any of ours! Let them tell their story - I love Dan but they were not included in the silverchair Spotify podcast series, or DJ’s podcast, nor the 3 part CZcams mini series he did last year!!! That’s a lot of SC content with just Dan… there’s 2/3 of the band who are also humans with every right to tell their story. I support them completely. Y’all stop with this drama and instead support our boys. We are lucky they are all still with usX ❤
Let’s be real, Daniel wanted to read the book to make sure no REAL truths about him got out. They were rockstars FFS. You know shit happened. I don’t blame him really, had most of my 90’s been publicly displayed I’d be horridly ashamed at this point in life haha…
Truth right here. Daniel is very sensitive about his public image. He routinely denies any responsibility for unflattering character unless it’s caught on camera. Interestingly though, he loves to assassinate others’ character in highly public venues. No way he would’ve approved this book if he read it. He wanted to find an excuse to ban it (“they talk about my health issues”).
@@Ljtheog12 You're right. His physical and mental health problems have been exposed by Daniel himself from Neon Ballroom. There are no secrets about that.
Ben and Chris can't tell the whole truth because they could be sued, but if you read between the lines (ABC documentary and book) the truth of his behavior is exposed. He is not the saint his fans want to see.
Perspective: There would be no “Daniel Johns” without Ben & Chris
And there would be no silverchair without Daniel Johns. They were pure magic together. However well Daniels solo shit is doing now, he has been obviously lost and spiraling without those two! Wish he’d pull his head out and sit with them and talk!
And there would be no Silverchair without Daniel. Face it, he was the driving force behind it.
@@lorimulkey8423hows it always Daniels fault? He wanted them on his podcast they said no? He also wanted them to play on his last album and they said no?
@@willtulip5328 don’t you think they should have a private discussion to clear the air and unload the baggage before going on Daniels podcast?
I wish they could just be friends. F all the bs! You guys did something most could only dream of. Thank you for all the music Silverchair! Always love u guys!
I'm not a fan of SC, but I've always wondered many things about Ben and Chris for one reason: "all songs written by Daniel Johns". I wondered back in 2010 if Ben and Chris wanted to write music and Daniel got angry
Silverchair and Daniel Johns are so talented!!! Daniel needs to do whatever keeps him fulfilled and happy!!! That is what's most important :)
I think there are things we the public will never know and reasons why they won’t reconcile . Sad but true. Still love them though !
Great video. I’ve been in a Silverchair (re) research bubble lately. I saw the documentary in its entirety and was it was eye opening. What you said re ‘closure’ really said it all. Look forward to more SC vids and hopefully other content about Aussie bands (karnivool, hands like houses, dead letter circus, etc) 🤘😁
I enjoyed your perspective It was kind insightful and balanced Friendship is ultimately like marriage
Our differences become toxic Where we were once drawn together ~ we are now repelled
These guys lost the ability to be tuned into one another because they were TOO FAMOUS for their age !!
Its extremely sad that these gays can't get along and move forward and have all this fighting and crap ..
I was a huge silverchair fan when they first came out .
I hope that the 3 of them can eventually get together and move forward with each other
The 3 boys need to go back to a garage in Newcastle and pump out a hardcore grunge album! That’s how they started and sometimes you just gotta go back to your roots. It worked for Metallica 😂
Dude...Daniel had mental probs
Can we please 🙏🏼 possibly do something Silverchair related where we don't ask or beg Daniel to do anything he's already made clear he's not comfortable with ? Just comes across like a constant guilt trip. Thank you
I think they will be successful again if they come back together.
We will never see the part 2 of the documentary because of Daniel Johns.
Ben still trying to look like John Bonham
I think the closure I’d be satisfied with would be one more album, indicating it would be the last album beforehand
tbh.. i think daniel simply doesn't like ben and chris because they are good regular dudes with no ego or pretentiousness about them.. daniel is so far gone into his weirdo tortured artist false lisp cringey neck tattoo crap and ultimately, he's weak and being incredibly immature and stupid.
Na it’s always more complex than that. Ben had his issues too. Ben was a total dickhead according to himself when he was on the piss (booze) and nearly lost Chris as a friend too. Ben has had a meat and potatoes public persona, but as you can see in the documentary he’s not as simple as he might have seemed. Chris seemed to hold himself back a lot when expressing himself and probably held back what he wanted to say a lot, so it doesn’t surprise me that much that he had cancer and a heart attack.
Ok I admit it-you said exactly what I’ve been thinking but would never say! Ugh he was so damn cool and hot AF, now is just….🥴 And to know he’s been basically alone and boozing this whole time is like well that explains a lot of it. He’s been spiraling for like 25 years and his superfans just keep clapping for it.
Why should Ben and Chris give Daniel a copy of the book, because before the book came out Daniel was promoting his album FutureNever and also his exhibition gallery, and was asked in an aired TV interview if he wanted a relationship with Ben and Chris? Daniel didn't pull no punches with his answer because he said he wanted NOTHING to do with either of them at this moment in time, apparently they don't show him the respect he deserves! I'm sorry, but if someone went on a TV show and said that about me, I wouldn't give them a copy of the book either. He can't have it both ways, and besides, Ben and Chris have been pretty silent over the years and haven't said much at all regarding the split of Silverchair. I think Dan's problem is that he's so unstable, he thinks everyone should bow down to him and his demands, and when people dont, he throws a hissy fit! One question people don't seem to be asking is where the hell was Daniel whilst Chris was laying in hospital dying of Cancer? The way the documentary is laid out, it makes it seem that Daniel even ignored Chris' cancer. So I ask anyone, if you can stoop that low and not put your past behind you for someone dying of Cancer, there's no hope of ever expecting this fiasco to end well. I was once a massive Daniel Johns fan, you've only gotta look through my videos on my page to see that. Seeing what I'm seeing now, I have massive doubts about the person Dan has turned into! Also, this is a question for the video uploader Solitude - if Daniel couldn't get permission to use Silverchair music on his Spotify podcast, how could he possibly stop Ben and Chris using it within their documentary? He obviously has no control over it because if he did, he'd have used it on his podcast?
Well Daniel said pretty harsh stuff about his band mates . When say they used him as a cash cow , not great ...
Quick aside: I don’t think what Johns went through could be called “teasing”. He legit got his ass beat.
The most tragic part of the whole thing - the complete disintegration of those relationships that spanned decades. Ppl do change and not many of us have friends into adulthood that we had when we were kids, but their’s are a specific set of circumstances.
This is old information but Daniel Johns is a talented musician. He can play all instrumental pieces. He don't need benefits or Chris. Life goes on. Get over it. They put Daniel through the mud when he was a teenager. Tuna in the brine is Daniel's story a masterpiece alone.
The way David Helfgot is behaving around Daniel Johns in the Emotion Pictures documentary had me a little concerned. But then again I could be reading the behaviour wrongly.
I thought the same.
They made five albums. That's more than many bands do.
imagine a 6th chair album……
Genius, real talent,,fame,mental illness = Daniel John’s 12:15
I missed the second part
Johns is a "D.H", a talented one. But a D.H none the less.
Front men do get frustrated if they have to write everything and put under pressure by drummers that just hit stuff.
YOU KNOW NOW ADAYS BAND MEMBERS BREAK OFF TO DO SOLO ACTS AND THEY NEED TO DO THERE OWN THING THEN COME NACK DO THE SILVERCHAIR THING THEN THERE OWN THING SO THERE DONT BORE THEM SELVES AND KEEP THERE OWN IDEOS FREASH TAKING BREAKS I THINK ALL BANDS SHOULD DO THIS LOOK AT ALTER BRIDGES MILES DOES HIS THING TROMONTI DOES HIS THEN THEY COME BACK DO ALTER BRIDGE THEN GO BACK TO THERE OWN THING AND NOW THERE DOING THE CREED THING AGAIN SILVERCHAR NEEDS TO PATCH THINGS UP AND DO IT AGAIN THE WORK OUT ON THERE OWN

Cool video man.
If blink-182 can get over their bullshit, so can Silverchair....so many parallels between both situations
Hmm only one I see is Blink was pretty shit without Tom Delonge as is silverchair without Daniel John’s 😂
Poor little guys.
