#silverchair - Hudba
I hope Dan, Chris and Ben get together again as mates. It doesn't matter if they never play another note of music, or if they jam together and no one hears it. It's just important that they re-establish their bond so they can look back at that time without the bitterness.
Thing is touring 2025 is probably maybe

A reminder how much influence and tallent Daniel had in the band. It all came to a grinding halt without him involved
Talllent has 3 l's or maybe 4. It depends on how tallllentedd.
when it comes to singing, you just can't have anybody to take the frontman spot.
He was basically running things, the orchestra and composers put in a massive effort for neon ballroom and diorama too though. Of course Ben and Chris are good musicians but as far as my knowledge goes they weren't really involved in song writing on anything after freakshow
That's not true at all! The band came to a halt with all 3 members still in the band! Dan's talent only went so far, because Talk is crap and so is FutureNever.
Completely agree. John's talents go as far as Rock and in company with Ben and Chris. @@KeithDaviesMusic
It was too much, too soon & Daniel’s clearly struggled with his mental and physical health since the start. I don’t blame him for wanting silverchair to stop. All that band seemed to do was cause him damage which he’s spent his entire life from mid-teen, trying to heal from. Ben’s always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder because he was in a band that achieved so much & could tour on a global scale, then his best mate ended the band & took his career with it. This book came about because Daniel did the podcast & released his album last year with TONS of silverchair related merch. He’s essentially profiting from silverchair’s legacy (which he’s entitled to) without Ben. Say what you want about his solo stuff, at least he’s never really stopped making music. It’s easy for people to turn on Daniel but his experience in that band was very different to theirs.
At the end of the day, Ben could’ve started another band any time he wanted over the last 10-12 years but he tethered his career to Daniel & has chosen to resent him for it. That’s on him. Do feel bad for Chris though. He’s been through way too much & is always caught in the middle. Hopefully they’re friends again one day
Bento, solo, Tambalane…? Yeah, Ben’s stayed relatively busy with music outside being in the Chair… 😆
@@OfTheUSSEnterprise yeah… and nothing significant since silverchair
Wow I just got a Meme in my head....lol...yours is a very fair and measured comment. I appreciate it. 🎉
Absolutely agree with everything you said 👏🏼 🙌🏼
@@OfTheUSSEnterprise bento was one of the worst attempts of a band ive ever seen. Its like he just hired a few people to put together something that just sounded like an engineer threw together a pop rock template
I saw Silverchair live at their homecoming show at Newcastle Entertainment Centre in 1999 - the good old days!
Thanks so much Chris and Ben I grew up listening to your music I waa 13 in 99 and you all were my musical heros so pleased to here you are all friends now enjoy every moment of life you can
Invitation?! Well you could GIVE HIM A COPY to start with then! 😂
Why should they do that? A few months ago Dan said on live TV that he didn't want anything to do with either Ben or Chris at this moment in time! His demands for respect just shows how up his own ass he's become!
Love you guys and at 60 years old I still love you guys ☺
Sometimes, there's too much water under the bridge. Just be grateful for what you've accomplished together and then, go your own way.
I wish they’d stop pushing repairing the friendship with Daniel, ppl change, lives change. We aren’t going to be friends with everyone our whole lives, esp in this situation. Glad Ben and Chris have reunited naturally.
i saw them live. opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers. i THINK it was 1994. but my WORD. they came on and CRUSHED it SO HARD. that RHCP had a hard time coming on AFTER them. from THAT day i was a silverchair fan for LIFE. them boys were like FIFTEEN or SIXTEEN them days. played almost that whole frogstomp album from front to back.
i think they were opening for chilis in '96. in '94 they were still at demo stage
I love silverchair and Daniel I love you. Take care of yourself 💋💗
Daniel needs to be there.
Agreed even if they don’t play another note they should at least be mates again and stop fighting
Love you guy's ❤
I want to watch them live!!! SILVERCHAIR!!!!!
They're incredible live!
they were now they would be an other almost 50 years old hack like pearl jam and foo fighters @@craigg5410
Saw them live in 2005 and it was such a let down. Most of the crowd at the festival appeared disappointed. Didn't play any of their most loved music... Mostly the softer stuff, as the headliner of a ROCK festival...
It really makes you respect the Rolling Stones. Can you imagine dealing with Mick Jagger's ego for your whole life and never murdering him, let alone keeping the band together.
It would've been nice to have a link to the book.
Legends. 🤘🏻
Maybe try letting them finish a train of thought before interrupting
It’s sad that most of the conversations with Ben and Chris are to do with the feud between Ben and Daniel
As for the interviewer, if you’re going ask them questions, give them a chance to answer fully, instead of just wanting to get through your questions.
well, tbh it was short format interview and the guys knew what they signed for. with their long life experience in showbiznes its on them
If you haven’t read the book…..do it.😊
What a fit for Taylor Hawkins replacement but with two young kids it’d be quite difficult.
yeah, I can still see the fire in Ben as a drummer. he's still got the energy. it's sad he can''t let it out as much as he wants to.
why is this book only limited to AU? i hope Ben & Chris can do a joint book tour outside AU. there are many SC fans ready to come out & see them after so long, with or without Dan. waiting for Dan is literally stopping time. so don't let that ruin the joy for others.
You can have the book shipped outside of Australia. You've just gotta know where to get it from.. I live in the UK and I have the book
No one....I mean no one is responsible for how your life turns out Post Band. Chris, I didnt know you are recovering from Cancer & a heart attack, Im so sorry.
Your new job looks Ace and Ive a feeling you are happier than youve ever been, well in a long time. Ben I dont get your motives. You had 20 years to come up with an Alternative band, think Eddie Veddar, Phil Collins, Scott Weiland all had successful 2nd and some solo and 3rd bands to their credit! Hope the book pays off your Mortgage though and you have had a closure getting the book out. 📖 youve had your say which youre 100% entitled too.
A bit of cringe there. Yeah its a celebration why were here to talk about the book... oh really, let me end on the unfortunate scene with Dan even though weve covered that before 🤦
I hope for real that Ben and Chris do some teaching, drums and bass because they were just. that. good!!
They are all talented.
Just be friends - nothing else matters.
forever trust in you and...
Ben comes across a bit like Lars Ulrich (Metallica)as psuedo band leader...Even tho we all know who the talent is! But you can also see hes humbling himself in hope...Best of luck Legends🙏🏽🤘
At the home of Rock 2gb 🤣
Dan will not go under silverchair anymore but goldenchair possibly plus adding @ 4th member who keep the happiness 😉
Silverchair got better and better
5:10 wishing that call was daniel
MAKE AMMENDS!! Your fans are begging you. We do respect you guys all individually and by all meeans, do you. But don't take this all to the grave boys. Much love.
Y'all Daniel Johns true believers are like fuggin' Twilight girls declaring which of Bella's boyfriends they prefer
@jl8138 that was fuggin beautiful man. Lol couldn't have said it better myself.
The band is almost back together
no they arent
Yes, and no.
Kace in point I'm sure Keeth moon from The Who wouldn't of been able to drum with Aerosmith the same way Tom Hamilton does with Steven Tyler.
Seeing how Ben and Chris are acting, I wonder why Dan didnt leave them before... Ben is toxic and a liar, and Chris is following him in recoil.. just sad.. no empathy for Dans mental health and now talking about LOVE & PAIN. It feels more like ENVY & BITTERNESS.. SHAME. At least now I realise that those thieving birds 1, 2 and 3 was an indirect to Ben.
Teamfuture Detected
@silveraddiction, I could not agree more. This comment is exactly what I see from each. Ben is very toxic and Chris, I personally think he just did it because Ben has supported him on the past couple of years, perhaps?. I don’t think he would be doing this by himself.
They’re all toxic mate
People always get too emotional about music 😂😂😂
It happened
It's over
Move on
The music is still there
If you heard both sides, it all sounds very bitter! All of them are trying really hard not to be "the bad guy", but we all know it's over! You can't recreate the moment, you can't got back in time! I think Daniel (and i love his new latest album) is trying to. I can very relate to that. But it's over! To be brutally honest - it was Daniels brilliance (with all his Problems), that made Silverchair that great. Like Ben said: now it's a Hobby for him. Dan would never say something like that.
Should be careful what you wish for. Being a muso it helps to have an education to fall back on. ✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺
Why do I feel so sad feeling like Daniel should be there like married with kids all 3 families hanging out? 😢They were like 3 peas in a pod and one pea just bailed….and isn’t even a pea anymore!
Unfortnately Daniel seems very damaged. Look at his interviews. He seems like he is always 1 step away from a breakdown. Poor bloke. I really hope they can all mend their friendships moving forward. Silverchair, or no silverchair. If i was in silverchair you couldnt stop from wanting my mates there and making music. Daniel appears to despise Silverchair and that era of his life. Yet for some many of us, silverchair was awesome. It cant understand it.
@@AHPOutdoors Yes he does appear to be on one big spiral, I certainly hope he fully mends his heart, mind and soul someday.
@@wacodeathcultband5365 omg I have thought that all along! It’s why his deep voice left for the most part, and his mental state won’t improve-he’s totally off balance! I harshly said it’s like he dropped his man card but low T is probably the correct term!
Y'all don't know what you're talking about lololol
@@jonaslong6012 please enlighten us then….
i'm just guessing from what i've seen so far on this band. Daniel may connect with them as friends down the road, but they can never make music again as silverchair, or not even make music together. It's a dark place for Daniel.
Anyone guna mention what Deb knight looks like now !? 😮
Why?
No
No because I still see her on tv regularly
They should start a new band with a new singer 🎤
The silverbacks and wear gorilla outfits lmao
Call it gold couch and debut with the album toad smash
Tell m to hire me. Lol.
sounds like galagher brothers that started their solo projects just to play oasis covers:D
If only they could've stayed young
These two right time right place, nothing more, Dan is the man. Any drummer or bass player could have been along for the ride that DAN created.
Gonna have to strongly disagree with this, especially with Ben Gillies. Ben Gillies not only co-wrote most of Frogstomp, but his drumming was absolutely crucial to the band, without Ben's drums I feel Silverchair would’ve been missing something.
Thank you, in every band drummers are just as important as us singers.
I disagree. Gillies was a total beast on drums and a force in the live shows. Silverchair is defined as a band that could go from Ana's Song to ferocity like No Association. No other band can do that!
Spawn Again was their best song live I think. It was so intense, Daniel could only do it for one tour. I don't think there are any live performances of Spawn after 1999. Ben was the BeastMaster that drove Daniel into the Dark Cave on Spawn Again.
Again, at a Silverchair show you heard the beauty of Ana's Song and the Holocaust of Spawn Again in one set. You can't take those two Aussie bruisers out of that equation.
Daniel copped alot of trauma from the fame at such a young age. It’s understandable he has his reasons.
yet he still searches for spotlight. he just wanted to get rid of the guys, which was probably worst artistic decison he ever made if u judge it by the quality of everything he created post sc
Yeah, look, I think we are witnessing another Silverchair inside joke between Ben and Chris.
Drugs drugs aaaaaand more drugs
They keep saying that this is 'their' story, yet they can't stop talking about Daniel and what he may or not have thought and be feeling etc etc. Stop talking about him lads, this whole thing is ridiculous!
Daniel also talked a lot about them on his podcast, CZcams videos, Instagram and used photos of them at his exhibition in Melbourne.
Daniels a part of it tho so they can't exclude him 100%
well they made it as team, wheather any of them like it or not. each of them is entitled to their side of story
Daniel Johns: those guys are just bitter and jealous of my own success 😂😂😂
Daniel wrote silverchair's songs.
@@twelveytwelvehe wouldn't have formed the skills he did without two band mates who happened to live locally. Same way Kurt Cobain may not have formed Nirvana had he not had Krist so bounce ideas off and give him confidence.
Boom shaka laka!!! 7:16
@@jimijackson And who knows? Without those two close childhood friends, Daniel might have totally cracked up like Cobain and killed himself.
@@twelveytwelveBen co-wrote with him on a lot of songs you do realize that right?
Unbearable interviewer
Ben only gets hotter.
Reminder that Silver chair was a one man band. these two have done nothing since. Dan has. facts.
Daniel is a musical phenomenon, but Daniel has never reached the peak success of Silverchair again.
I feel like Daniel could possibly sue them for mentioning his life sickness and random stuff.
Oh please! Dan has literally dressed up as woman and roamed the streets off his face. That got published in heaps of tabloids and was probably more damaging to him than anything written in the book.
rofl, he made his career out of exposing his illnesses. dont think any court would treat seriously such case from a guy that recorded 5+ cds about his mental illnesses
Ben's envy is so clear 🙄🙄🙄
I don't like Ben, he's untrustworthy
I think he’s being really honest and I admire that he can admit his wrongs and move forward ❤
He’s not moving forward, he’s playing Victim. Says he wrote the book for his children, can do that without publishing and passive aggressively revenging on a band member. Perhaps some EQ when Daniel was in an acute mental health state instead of internalising his anger toward him they’d be in a different place right now.
He co-wrote with Daniel and claims a large part of the creativity (apple fresh beg to differ) start your own gig, the world would have followed.
@@melissahall6129 yeah the part about writing the book for his kid is kind of weird. Not that it's strange to do, but he made it sound like he was doing it to kind of be like, look how great I am kind of thing. He also says basically nothing about the Daniel situation and claims he wishes things were different, when he's the one that was attacking Daniel in rehab and the one that blocked Daniel on social media after all he did was congratulate him on being a father. Talk about petty, Jesus Christ
@@melissahall6129 Ben mentions his children, because becoming a father has helped him to recover and also mature.
Daniel spoke badly about Ben publicly and it is obvious that Ben wants to vindicate himself and not look like the bad guy on the entire internet.
People use "Apple Fresh" to attack Ben's songwriting ability. I know the song is very bad. I prefer to highlight good songs like "State Of Mind" where he shows that he has the talent to write good Rock Pop songs.
@@Wolfram__Hart tbh the first time i heard that apple fresh song it reminded me of Silence, by Dan's collab Dreams, but..not as good. and "on the stereo" also...i thought "why does this sound like a song from Talk?" So i was left with a...is he trying to prove that the music Dan makes, anyone can make or even now he is influenced by what Dan does even if he is mad at him? cause even the way of singing was similar..it felt like a damn dig, like "see, anyone can do what you do". I dont know.
also the comments were all like "this is so good!!", "woaah you sing better than daniel!"...meanwhile Dan's comments when Talk came out were all "what a shitty music", "omg, he went gay"...like, why when one does it it is good but when the other did it it was bad and he had done nothing good since frogstomp? no wonder
and what was that Dan said? (im spanish, we dont get silerchair news here, they were never famous here so i miss a lot of the gossip). if it was the docu thing...wanst it in answer to the girl telling him something Ben said about Dan's music? -i honestly am lost further than that-
Silverchair without Daniel is nothing! 🙄
A drummer that good certainly helps
Silverchair without any of them is nothing.
Unfortunately Dan without silverchair is also nothing.
Silverchair without Ben is nothing. Silverchair without Chris is nothing. Silverchair without Daniel is nothing. Because it took all 3 to create that magic!
A book about Silverchair without Daniel Johns is not a book about Silverchair
Daniel's hugely talented. These two rode on his coattails.
I completely disagree. They both crush on their instruments. Daniel - very , very talented but unfortunately a diva
So Ben’s co-writing contributions on their most popular albums actually mean nothing? (Not saying those are their best albums, but even Daniel alone wouldn’t be where he is now without Ben’s contributions in those years.)
And now they are moaning.
@@cdixon5150doesn't matter. He's a talented diva. These guys are acting like divas anyway.
I wouldn't say they rode his coat-tails. Dan's music after 'Silverchair' is terrible. 'Talk' was crap and so is 'FutureNever.' The stuff he made with Luke Steele aka 'Dreams' was terrible as well. The ONLY reason it was classed as a success for Dan is because most 'Silverchair' fans bought what he released because of their love for Silverchair. He even promoted 'FutureNever' with 'Silverchair' add-ons and made fans think they would get a similar sounding experience, at the time, only he knew that he was luring people into a false sense of purchase! So no, I wouldn't say that Ben and Chris rode his coat-tails at all.
grow up and have a jam, play some gigs -its not too complicated.. ur not living in a tent and driving a busted ass car ugghhh
Guys, please come back as Silverchair… forget your ego, pls reconcile with Daniel. You guys are the missing link of 90s music. Come on guys! Pls come back!
Someone has to say it. These two guys have become boring. Daniel was obviously the life force of the band. Time they stopped
Scoring sympathy votes and looked to create something positive on their own.
It took all 3 to make Silverchair not just daniel asshole
Good music but there just nirvana wannabes
I can see why someone would be deeply offended if the friend they have known and worked with for years comes out with, "your mental health issues are an act for publicity." Only a ego driven person with no compassion, depth or understanding of how complex a true artist's mind can be would come out with that. You really should appologise Ben.
Seems a bit off to me these two guys doing the rounds making money off any reality show. Peddling their book, subtly slamming Daniel john's. Daniel John's WAS Silverchair. Anyone could have filled the shoes of these two.
