As a musician who has been around "tortured" musicians for years, if you call them that. It really comes down to, this is why they play music and write the songs they do. They socially don't fit into the everyday crowds and norms of society. They come off weird and awkward because their minds don't observe and take the world in like other non-musical people. It's actually very normal, why you see addiction along with that lifestyle, which becomes worse with fame. Because suddenly everyone adores and wants you, yet in your head you think about your life before that, when you were the outcast. Trust me, I understand these guys. I lost 3 good friends who were as talented as him.There will always be those tortured artists. Even ones yet to be born yet. Think about that. It gets sad, but these are the people who make the soundtracks to your life.

Dude has always worn his heart on his sleeve , everything he has created he is always honest. True fearless genius, musically and artistically.

I feel so heartbroken by his sadness. I just wish an angel would appear to him and tell him how loved he is.

I get why those guys don't want to work with him, especially since he constantly slags on Silverchair. His recent "career" has been about trying to be different from Silverchair and he's pissed that he hasn't had as much success as he did while in that band. His ego just won't let him accept it. He says he had to leave because he didn't want to end up like "other people." What about playing in Silverchair would cause him to end up a certain way? That's on him to choose. If he's making bad decisions he'll make them whether he's in Silverchair or solo. And that whole "Silverchair is like childhood trauma" thing, please. Give me a break.

Daniel, you are a beautiful soul. I love your raw honesty and I have the utmost respect for you, both as a fallible human being and a magnificent artist. ♥️♥️

Daniel is one of Australia's greatest artists. His music will live on through the names of Silverchair and Daniel Johns. I mean, it's taken me 27 years to finally appreciate the masterpieces he's created. I hope he continues to create music under his name.

When he said I don’t know who I am without music made me tear for him.

I miss Daniel, he was and is everything for me. His music was and is everything to me, I miss silverchair so much. They will forever be my favorite band. He was and is a genius. So glad he can look back at it a little differently than just negative. I understand the trauma. I went though lot of trauma back then when I was listening to them. Worst and best times of my life. I feel so much better about looking at my past. It made me. I can’t believe Ben is so negative towards Daniel being in rehab and moving on, yes I miss him in Silverchair too but as long as he’s happy, I’m happy. Love you forever Daniel. ❤️

He is an Australian treasure. Incredible talent. We love you, Dan.

Silverchair is one of the first bands I heard. One of the reasons I play music and that I am who I am. Thank you Dan, Ben and Chris.

I get him.. Its a shame he has suffered so much. Anxiety sucks the life out of you. Hopefully one day he will be able to breathe and come back stronger.

I think that's his best Interview yet. Very vulnerable. Damn! Wish Daniel the best

Such a sensitive and talented soul. He is so creative in all he does… I see his vulnerability and pain and hope he finds the peace he so deserves to find. Thank you for your work. You are so courageous in coming forward to speak so honestly from the heart. Know you are SO meant to be here. X

For Ben and Chris, Silverchair was foundational to their identity and it was their creative space too. Dan may have written much of their music, but the sound, shape and expression came from every band member. When Dan made the decision to leave Silverchair, their role as band members no longer existed. That’s a tough transition to make. Tough when Daniel keeps playing, and even now makes an exhibition about the band…but it’s headlined by a massive pic of him. I have loved the band, but I feel for Ben and Chris as their identity within the band seems to be something they’re no longer able to control.

Daniel John’s : “they’re just jealous of how successful I am. I even offered to let them play on my solo album and they refused”

Daniel Johns is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. I can't thank him enough for his contribution and enrichment to my life as I grew up listening to Silverchair. I also really liked his work with The Dissociatives. He has made profoundly beautiful music over the course of his life and I just hope he's doing well.

Daniel, Silverchair songs saved my life. It helped me so so much to process and feel so many feelings that I didn't even knew existed inside me, coming from a very unstable household and seeing a lot of domestic violence at a very young age. I will always love Silverchair's music and I hope that one day you can truly feel at peace.

Even though Daniel and I are the same age, he was my I guess teenage hero, I still to this day love listening to Silverchair and the reason I love grunge rock. Life is hard and I'm glad he is still with us, getting help and still producing music. Nothing but respect for the great man. great real to live interview. Like they say it's ok not to be ok.

after everything Daniel has gone through its incredibly brave of him to sit in front of cameras to speak about his experiences. that takes a tonne of strength. hope he finds peace and happiness.

He's such a courageous and open guy. Takes guts to talk about trauma so effortlessly!

I m from Argentina-- Frogstomp was part of the soundtrack to my teenage years. When I covered Israel's son with my little high school band, it was the first time Ive felt I was rocking, that I was on to something. And that was happening in the early 90s, on the other side of the globe, back when there was no social media, just a very primitive internet.

E.g. they released Abuse Me instead of Freak as the first single off the second album, in the U S. Which hurt their reputation. Imagine if Nirvana had released Polly instead of Smells Like Teen Spirit first off their second album. Nirvana wouldn’t have blown up the way they did.

Man......I've always so worried about Daniel. :/ He always seems SO mentally fragile and sensitive. It's what gave his music such tremendous cathartic potency, but boy did it wreck his life. It's so sad really. I just want the poor guy to be ok....to feel healthy and free and hopeful. Looking back on it, Paul Mac was the best thing that ever happened to Daniel, both musically and personally. Because it seems the only time Daniel was truly happy as a person was maybe from 2001 to 2007....save for that one, but substantial, lost year from the reactive arthritis. Looking back, it seems like he was truly happy and creatively exuberant during the creation of Diorama, the whole Dissociative era, and the making of Young Modern. Before that was a lot of darkness....from the insane impact of fame, the eating disorder, the depression and antidepressants. And then after 2007, came the self-medicating with alcohol and the constant tabloid drama. I'd love more music from Daniel.....but only if he's in a truly good place personally. I think Paul Mac should be thanked....for genuinely saving Dan's life 2 decades ago....and bringing him out of the fog of anxiety and depression. That resulted in Diorama, the Dissos album, and Young Modern.....3 masterpieces of music that you can tell were made by someone in love with creativity. I just hope Daniel can find that feeling again....some sort of peace and hope. I'm always worried I'm gonna wake up one day to a notification that Daniel overdosed or worse... And needless to say, that would shatter me. He deserves a happy life.....especially given all the joy and inspiration he's brought to me and millions others like me.

Daniel is a musical genius and it´s sad to see his suffering. Paul Mac was very supportive of Daniel, but the reason for Daniel's well-being during those years was Natalie Imbruglia. Since the dissolution of his marriage, Daniel has lost his way. That's why you have noticed that 2007 was Daniel's last good year, after that Paul was still around, but Natalie wasn´t. I hope Daniel finds peace :(

Weeks before their big breakthrough I worked as a stagehand on lowlands in Holland. A young boy stood shivering from the cold backstage waiting to perform. I offered him my crew sweater and he thanked me almost shy. 10 minutes later he jumped on the small stage and they played really well. Shocked, the boy could make so much noise. Young girls in front passing out. Strange life. A lot happened since then I see.

I am so happy to see Daniel doing well; I know he still struggles with demons but Silverchair's music guided me through some very tough times in the 90s.

Watched this in the floods of tears it felt like he was holding back. Beautifully handled interview, Carrie!

I wish him all the best in his life and really hope he can reconcile his differences with Chris and Ben.

He's a very good person.😀 Daniel almost had me in tears such the emotion felt but then felt proud for, and of him for the courage shown to speak up. Even these days many men will not speak out or get help when needed. From my experience it's extremely difficult to take that step due to societies way of thinking.He touched my heart deeply and wish only the best for this brilliant man. Peace.

So heartbreaking. He's such an unbelievably talented human. So hard to hear how much he struggled to create music I've resonated with so much. Such a rare talent.

It’s sad to see he was feeling suicidal. I hope he’s getting the help he needs to push through his struggles.

Thank you, Daniel!! I hear you since i was 14 years old. I´m now 40 and i support everything you do. Be happy man!! Don´t waste your time with sadness!! You´re great!! Just put that in your mind!! I love you!! Cheers!!

He seems like a nice guy, but the fame has got to much in his head, some can handle it, some can't. It's a shame he won't mature enough to either form a new band with the members because they sounded good together or move on inlife and do something completely different, sometimes going solo doesn't work out as expected. Hope he meets a girl and Start a New.

Without music i dont know who i am Heartbreaking, all the best 🙏🏼

The way his eyes lit up when she said the guys were there to see him but then tried to say "they would never come" you could plainly see he would've been thrilled to see them and he wished they were really there. I grew up with Silverchair playing as a teenager and actually had my own suicidal dream listening to them. As a teenager in a band i thought they were the luckiest guys on earth touring the world and being the same age i was. Really hope they can work it out eventually but more importantly i hope Daniel can get healthy and live a happy life.

What a beautiful and HONEST person that comes through in this interview. I wish Daniel all the best and hope he continues to share his amazing gift as a musician and songwriter 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

He reached so many people, including myself in his early career. All my friends growing up idolized him. Such a talent seems to always come with a cost. I'm so glad he is still here with us and is willing to reflect. He is a personal hero of mine.

He serms like such a beautiful sensitive man 😢.. people are harsh..i can so relate to his issues 😢

'I need to figure who I am without music'. Probably the biggest struggle for all creatives. As a musician and songwriter myself, music is an all encompassing thing. Its intoxicating, but it is also so restricting when it comes to trying to live a normal life outside of it. Its a blessing, but it can be a curse at the same time. The trick is knowing how to walk that line and balance a creative life and a normal life.

As a musical genius myself sometimes I feel like it’s a curse

Thanks Dan, for sharing what you’ve learned. You’re genuine and kind and artistic no matter what kind of music is coming through you. You have given so much insight and wisdom to so many people.

I love how he’s reached a point where he’s prepared to confront himself and things in his life and is vulnerable and just a real down to earth human. Insanely gifted songwriter. Good on ya Dan

Hes not been down to earth for many years, I think that's the cause of his problems. Gifted? Certainly, but disappeared up his own backside long ago.

He was truly an incredibly charismatic and energetic frontman not to mention incredibly handsome. He has remained a very talented musician through it all. But it’s really astonishing that he’s massively introverted and so soft spoken. I feel very sorry for him because of his struggles with depression and childhood trauma as well as an acrimonious relationship with his former bandmates.

There has always been something so special and majestic about you and your music Dan.

Great interview. I find it so easy to admire DJ yet dont look at him as a roll model... His beautiful empathy for music and humanity makes him a target for self destruction. Just stay in the calm moment brother. 👊

IT´S KINDA STRANGE FOR ME TO HEAR DANIEL JOHNS´ REMEMBRANCE OF SILVERCHAIR AS NOT SO MEMORABLE CONCEPT, WHEN THEY MEANT TO ME A LOT AS A TEENAGER BECAUSE THEY HELPED ME GET THROUGH TIMES OF ABUSE AND BULLYING IN HIGHSCHOOL AND MADE A GOOD PART OF MY LIFE´S SOUNDTRACK, YET SOMETIMES PEOPLE HAVE TO LET GO OF THINGS AND PEOPLE IN ORDER TO GROW, AND I FIND IT VERY BRAVE THAT HE ACCEPTED WHEN NEEDING HELP AND THE WAY HE RECOGNIZES, ACCEPTS AND EMBRACES THE PART OF THE PROCESS THAT MEANS DETATCHING FROM STUFF THAT HURTS OR ISN´T THE BEST FOR ONESELF...

Such a great interview - goosebumps the whole time. Can’t wait to see this exhibition

Daniel has such a beautiful heart and soul. He leaves a very big impact on those who love him. I can relate to having a chaotic brain and living in anxiety. It's hard and it can be very lonely. I hope he finds peace and calm.

Me too it’s a hard time but it’s good he’s trying to help himself xx

This guy has been through trauma. I hope he finds peace with himself soon I relate to him heavily I hope he’s ok

13:59 hit home for me, he fears to go back to music, as it could send him down the downward spiral. His music said a lot to me as a kid, and hearing this as an adult is a bit surreal as well at the moment. Can tell he's a good soul and struggling, also this was a great authentic interview. Nicely done.

I agree, total clarity arrived - thank you Dan for saying the noise in my head - i need to figure out who i am without my too. X❤o ! Calm - im coming for u too !

I loved Silverchair as a depressed teenager, and I can relate to him. He is so human and really earnest. I hope he overcomes his struggles or at least learns to live with the anxiety and overthinking.

I've watched his past interview, Daniel does strike me as a person who would crumble at any moment, its anxiety + depression at its worst

Yup. Unfortunately I see a lot of myself in him. Luckily for me I think I do not suffer from anxiety & depression to the same extent as he does, though.

What an amazing interview, well done and thanks

So so glad and so grateful you're still here Daniel. You're an inspiration to so many of us and I will take as much or as little art from you as you want to produce.
