“Dan has completely lost his voice. It probably wasn't a good idea for us to go to a Hollywood Hills party last night. Or for Dan to stay up late with our keyboardist Paul Mac recording himself screaming in the back of our tour bus a few days ago. This is the consequence of our actions. Before we stepped out onto The Tonight Show set to face the cameras, a doctor came to the green room and checked Dan over. ‘I strongly advise you don't sing for a week; you could do serious damage to your vocal cords’, the doctor told him. He ignored it and decided to push through. Standing under the bright studio lights, we know straight away we've made a mistake.” From the book Love and Pain, by Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou.
I totally did! Despite what probably wasn't the most ideal or great situation, it's inspirational that he just powered on to just get through it! Simply incredible and also heartbreaking for him at the same time!
I came to the comments expecting everyone to be ripping Dan apart but there's so much love and support for his courage in pushing through, just amazing 💖
this was the beginning of the end. “Things came to a head when we did the Jay Leno show,” Joannou, 43, recalled. “We had been drinking reasonably heavily, all of us, and Daniel had lost his voice. It wasn’t our greatest performance, let’s just put it that way.”
This is why live music is so awesome, you emotionally travel along with the musicians and get to experience not just their highs but also their lows. This version is like watching a V8 race driver trying to get up Mt Panorama with a blown head gasket and then suddenly realising they are in the wrong gear, dropping it back to 2nd and doing a burnout all the way to the top of the hill.
He should have lip synced. That's what it's there for. Not good to live on the idea of things. No one would thought lesser, laryngitis or whatever. Yeah, not good for anyone.
I think he realized his voice was shot while he was singing the first pre-chorus and decided to just scream through the rest of it haha. I think it worked.
This is actually my favourite version of straight lines, he actually had to reinterpret and reconstruct the song on the fly to suit his voice. Digging deep to get any kind of suitable sound for an audience who would just assume he's a poor vocalist, without really knowing he had laryngitis. Suits the song in a way.
@@Hooligan71 But I true Daniel fan will support him no matter what. I think he has so much courage to sing or attempt to sing when his voice is toast. What a legend
"The silver lining" on Australian Story: They started taking bottles of vodka and bourbon on stage. And then they appeared on the influential US talk show, Tonight Show with Jay Leno. “We had been drinking reasonably heavily, all of us,” Ben says. Daniel’s voice was shot. They took to the stage - and it was a trainwreck.
His vocals transform this to something else. At first I felt really uncomfortable. Secondhand embarrassment. But then he absolutely killed it. In a split second he figured out a totally different way to deliver the message. Respect.
Poor guy's voice blew out prior to the show (apparently alcohol-related). Was covered in the ABC's 'Australian Story' Part 2 released in September 2023. Even still, as you said, adapted fairly well on the fly
@@jarrodf_ Yeah I did see that. I think they were all pretty wrecked by that point in time. Unfortunately the effect on his voice was so noticeable to everyone who watched them play. Being front man and vocalist, a lot of the time all eyes were/are on him. It’s just so unfortunate. They really did deserve to go out with a bang rather than a fizzle.
I actually love this version. He realises pretty early that his voice is stuffed but he just wills himself through and the passion gives the song even more power
My heart dropped for them at that first chorus, when it becomes painfully obvious that Dan has blown his voice out. Not sure how he pulled this off, but as the comment section shows some people had no clue that they just witnessed what all 3 members have called their worst professional moment ever. 😂
Fuck yeah. Sick with Laryngitis and marches on anyway. That’s a fucking boss right there. Give me this version over a pitch perfect clean version all day long 🤘🏽
@@mablesfatalfable6021when you drink heavy the alcohol rips the lining off your larynx .....that is what laryngitis is. It can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, overuse of the voice and alcohol or smoking .. Lots of things can cause inflammation of the larynx... which is what laryngitis is. Go Daniel..he rocked it.
I was lucky enough to see them in 95-96 at festival hall in Brisbane, one of the last shows before it was demolished, I went with my high school crush, I am one year younger than Dan and I'll never forget it, he came on in tracky dacks and a t shirt barefoot and tore the roof of it. Israel's son I am.
The voice of an angel suddenly turned into total badassery. Daniel Johns is, for my money, the greatest songwriter Australia has produced and Australia has produced plenty of top shelf songwriters.
He sang his heart and soul out. Gave me chills. Original pitch, didnt even drop a semitone. This is what music should be! I'd watch this performance anyday over auto-tune bullshit.
I dig this rough version, real music isn't perfect. Much love for Daniel and Silverchair and I am here after listening to the pod. DJ is a fucking genius
Talk about pushing through! Hard to watch at first and kind of shocking, but it was amazing to see a true musician save the song and pour his all into it.
The honesty in everything Daniel does just brings me to tears, every single time. My admiration for this man has no limits. I'm so moved by his talent, always 🖤
What do you mean? You cry everytime you hear Silverchair or see a Daniel johns interview? Did you actually cry when watching this or were you just using a dramatic metaphor? I'm genuinely intrigued, and 36 ppl have liked this comment, are they all having a blub too or did they just dig the vibe of what you were throwing down, I wonder.
Firstly what a track, But knowing what this man and what he has gone though, going on fucking Leno, Lyrngitus and still fronting it and owning it, I think this is one of the most Human and grounding performances you’ll ever see
Knowing his voice was out for this particular night. It seemed to me like he was going to give it a go and try to sing it like on the record. It didn't take long to realize that it's not going to happen so he resorted to getting it done however he could. Professional.
Laryngitis can affect any singer. You just push through and do your best. I’ve seen Silverchair twice and they were one of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. “Who is Daniel John’s?“ podcast is a raw and honest discussion about the turmoil that Daniel Jones has been through. I love his music. Silverchair was the first concert I ever went to. I was 13. They changed my life.
@@TONY_FEZlaryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx.. It can be caused by bacterial or viral infection, voice overuse, smoking or even too much drinking. So you are wrong . Too much alcohol or not, it's still called Laryngitis.
Daniels trashed voice gives this performance of the masterpiece a raw edge that elevates it to the next level. It's such an unusual song, but once it's in your ear it NEVER EVER leaves.
Oh please he was in a spiral drinking too much and the performance was a shit show. It was supposed to be silverchair’s big debut back into the US and they blew it for a night of heavy drinking. Call it what it is instead of being an enabler. He has plenty of those.
@@mrwalker6026 pretty sure he hit puberty long before 2007 but whatever dude. His heavy drinking wrecked his voice for this performance and all 3 were drinking all time during this period it contributed to their split.
I watched this live. I missed the intro and didn't know it was Silverchair. I actually loved it. The rough vocals stood out. I bought this album because of it. Still a good album, but I have been looking for this video ever since. I thought Leno probably hated it.
What Daniel Johns did here was heroic. It was happened to us all from time to time but, he pushed through under the most difficult of circumstances. Daniel Johns I applaud you.
Im sorry but this isnt trash it’s inspiring. I could cry right now. Everything was working against him in this performance but he worked through it and gave it his all. A true artist/musician. We have all been there. Shits not going your way but you gotta push through and make the best of it.
Even when they are struggling with a difficult performance, they are still amazing. I love the way that he just powered his way through the song even though his voice was shot. He totally bossed it. Mightily impressive. 💪
It's obvious he was having problems with his voice and he adapted and got through best he could. After listening to the podcast I have a new found respect for him. I had no idea they were 15 during frogstomp. Being the same age you don't really think about it at the time.
I loved the book that Ben and Chris wrote. It was heartfelt, funny, and interesting to hear about being a “rockstar” but not a typical one. And it was nice to hear their stories and experiences from their perspective. Daniel undergone many struggles and when the negativity consumes you it’s hard to remember the happy times and you tend to get distrustful of everyone (not meaning to but it happens when you get into that state of mind. speaking from experience.). I’m glad they all worked it out and maybe with time they can have that same brotherhood relationship again or perhaps they do in their own way. either way they are Australian legends in the music industry. and filled my youth with inspiration. they don’t make bands like this anymore at least in America.
Simply incredible despite the challenge and probably the pain of having to push your vocals through an infection! True performer and great musical talent!
@@mablesfatalfable6021it's still called Laryngitis. Yes it can be caused by infection, overuse of voice, smoking or too much drinking. It's still called Laryngitis. I used to get it all the time when I went out drinking
I absolutely love this song. It is a vocal composition that is very challenging for most male voices, including his. It shows here, but that also shows his courage on a really big stage. Honestly, I'd rather listen to the recording, but I appreciate this effort.
Effort 8. Quality 7. Voice 4. They were cool when 15, they were grunge at the right time. But that voice would never hold for years to come. And the attraction of the old Silverchair was the voice and the resembles of Cobain. Although they said to be PearlJam fans they might have said that more then once because they knew....Its ok, i have good memory`s from them , saw them live in 97, they were good live then.
Watching this after part 2 of the Australian Story - A Silver Lining. Shit I really cringed at the beginning but Daniel Johns being the professional he is - he persevered through that despite losing his voice. 👏🏻. For the fans sake I really wish the guys would all come together and make amends and reunite. We love Silverchair and the music.
Funny seeing this performance framed in two different ways. Johns saying he had laryngitis and the other bandmates saying it from excessive consumption of vodka and bourbon. Whatever the case, yeah, this performance is memorable..
Absolute respect to D.J. for adapting as best as he could in the moment, but I really couldn't help but worry about the damage this can do to ones vocal chords.. Simultaneously heartbreaking and captivating to watch this performance.
I came to watch this after the Australian Story documentary. HUGE massive giant silverchair fan from Tomorrow right through to the end and somehow never saw this. I had just moved across the world so maybe I was distracted but now I came to watch I actually feel like they did ok considering 😂. Like yes Dans voice was gone and yes the song needed more justice but they held it together considering. Dan tried to go the metal route a bit 😂
I thought it sounded good. Daniel is always quick witted and quirky. He made up for the cracks with the guitar jam at the end. Would love to have seen him mash the guitar on the floor at the end tho.
@@mablesfatalfable6021 he was sick. Many touring singers have laryngal issues. And it would be a hard song for most natural tenors, especially full voice belting. Range is not really the factor, the full voice, vowels, and phrasings and register shifts are hard.
Whatever happens, I will ALWAYS RESPECT and admire Daniel Johns and the rest of the Silverchair band and no one can change my mind! 😂They did Tomorrow when they were 13. Think about that. That alone blows my mind. I look at how his musical style evolved as well and admire his versatility. ❤❤❤
He was drinking because he was sick....he still pushed through he song because he was still singing for us !!!❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹 I still love and support him through the phases of his life. 💞💞💞💞💞

V eloquent.
The struggle in his voice made it cooler in a way, I forgot how much I love this band until recently.
He would have been so heart broken by this. He is such an icon and fantastic musician and singer! I love that he didn’t lip sync! Aussie Battler!
Yep he is still such an epic talent even though he was so sick at the time.

Every real Daniel Johns/Silverchair fan knows this is the definitive version of Straight Lines.
Rather than pull out or lip sync dan come in hot and raw
Daniel hated this performance, and honestly thought this would kill the band. He said this show was because of heavy drinking the night before

Me too, it sounds raw. It's awesome!
I've been revisiting this version for years.
More than 1 time playback
He struggles at the start with soft high notes and then just rips his voice to pieces with not one back up vocals for support!!!!
I've got so much respect for Daniel. He could've easily chose to lip sync but he's not about that. Such a true talent.
Dafuq would he lipsync???
Not sure if that's allowed on Jay Leno
if you don't sing for a living, you have no idea how UNREAL this is. my lord. this man is too good.
4.51min nightmare for him. He pulled through in the most hardcore way a singer can. Absolute legend!

Sick? You mean completely and utterly hammered beyond recognition.
Drunk and sick are different…
Yes it did.

so glad this got reuploaded. Johns did an amazing job at just barreling through laryngitis. literally an amazing performance.
Absolute respect to D.J. for adapting as best as he could in the moment, but I really couldn't help but worry about the damage this can do to ones vocal chords.. Simultaneously heartbreaking and captivating to watch this performance.
I came to watch this after the Australian Story documentary. HUGE massive giant silverchair fan from Tomorrow right through to the end and somehow never saw this. I had just moved across the world so maybe I was distracted but now I came to watch I actually feel like they did ok considering 😂. Like yes Dans voice was gone and yes the song needed more justice but they held it together considering. Dan tried to go the metal route a bit 😂
The band would obviously know what illness he had and they played with heart to push along with him. Made this sound even better.
Yeah he had alcoholitis, the doc said not to sing but he didn't listen
I thought it sounded good. Daniel is always quick witted and quirky. He made up for the cracks with the guitar jam at the end. Would love to have seen him mash the guitar on the floor at the end tho.
Yas! He is amazing!!!
This song is one of his hardest to sing. I have been there almost every time I sing.
@@mablesfatalfable6021 he was sick. Many touring singers have laryngal issues. And it would be a hard song for most natural tenors, especially full voice belting. Range is not really the factor, the full voice, vowels, and phrasings and register shifts are hard.
Whatever happens, I will ALWAYS RESPECT and admire Daniel Johns and the rest of the Silverchair band and no one can change my mind! 😂They did Tomorrow when they were 13. Think about that. That alone blows my mind. I look at how his musical style evolved as well and admire his versatility. ❤❤❤
Real artists dont need need autotune even when their voice is shot, Daniel is one of the GOATs of Aussie music
I've watched this about 1000 times.
The show must go on.We loved daniel and silverchair
He channelled Kings of Leon vocal delivery here to get through, hats off, actually works well
Damn how I LOVED this song when it was released 👍🏻
Daniel is too much of a warrior. too much admiration
This is Australia’s best band ever to come out of here, absolutely no contest. And they only fulfilled approximately 70% of their potential.
I think you’re forgetting cold chisel.
@@waynemoloney3862 Fair call but chisel did nothing in the USA.
AC DC .. INXS..The Chats ..silverchair, top my list
@@livewell_79 gee I never thought of INXS 👍
@@livewell_79
INXS was fucking awesome
He knows right from the start that it's going to be bad. Luckily Silverchair fans know his ability and would know he was sick.
Nailed it danny boy😊
Gutsed it out. Irrespective of whether it was laryngitis or not taking care of himself, drove it forward with everything he had in the tank. *Salutes*
This is awesome...real rockstar
He was drinking because he was sick....he still pushed through he song because he was still singing for us !!!❤🩹❤🩹❤🩹 I still love and support him through the phases of his life. 💞💞💞💞💞
i know where you live, lock your doors (april 23rd 2032)
