Silverchair Frontman Daniel Johns: I'm Not F------ Gay
Australian indie rock band Silverchair's frontman Daniel Johns took a moment during Sydney's Big Day Out music festival on Monday to relay a special message about who he screws around with.
The Herald Sun reports: "For the past few years, there's been speculation about Daniel Johns' sexuality. But the Silverchair frontman wants everyone to know - he's not gay. At Monday's Big Day Out at Flemington, Johns told the crowd in no uncertain terms that he's a red-blooded heterosexual male. 'I'm not f------ gay,' he said between songs. To show he doesn't care what anyone thinks, Johns wore a lacy garter on stage. The talk about his sexuality has been around for years, but intensified this month when his split from wife Natalie Imbruglia became public."
No gay man would ever leave Natalie Imbruglia.

Daniel who? Silver what? Nope, doesn't ring a bell.

Saying "I'm not fucking gay" is showing you DO care what people think.
Wearing a garter on stage during a rock show is not showing you don't care what people think.
How come some men need to be described as "red-blooded heterosexual"? Do us queer boys all have hot pink flowing in our veins?

A little off subject but I love Natalie Imbruglia -- she's great!

Well, if he's not fucking gays, maybe he's fucking other closeted guys--you know, like those "down low" homos.

Yeah, what you said TJC...LMAO. And Derrick, HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA. Silly as usual. Loving you. ;)
No, Daniel, you're NOT F**king Gay!
Your hair is stupid and SOOOO 2001...actually 1997 if you're REALLY FUCKING GAY.
Ray-Bans haven't been cool since Risky Business and...well, that's just shootin' fish in a barrel.
Tim Curry could get more pussy in a garter belt than he knew what to do with and he wasn't even interested...so, get your own gig. He's also a better singer than you...in a garter belt even.
And flipping the bird in every photo, every opportunity? Yeah, you're so cool you couldn't possibly be gay. Nope, nuh uh.

I wish the crowd had bottled him...and if you don't know what it means to bottle a band, just look it up on youtube.

Well, bully for him. Whoever he is.

Sorry Andy, he made the annoucement at Flemington Racecourse, which was MELBOURNE's Big Day Out, not Sydney's. No biggie ;)
I was in the unfortunately sunburnt crowd who witnessed the utter drivel spewing forth from Daniel John's mouth, and in amongst the camp giggles and ballet-like prancing, the comment seemed a bit...out of whack? He's off the rails, that guy...

That moustache looks totally gay.

Did he go on and rant about being "Bloody straight," or did he just leave it at not being gay? Because there is a large gap between straight and gay. He could be bi, curious, hermaphordite, or eunich. Maybe that's why Natalie split with him, she found out he has no balls.

What does gay mean to this type of person? Wearing a garter? To be fem and a crossdresser? Why do I know soooo many men who are not like that and are gay? Am I calling them the wrong thing? They like to have sex, a lot. M2M sex. Only. They drive trucks, drink beer, ski, play football, watch sports, etc. What are those guys and why does this guy think he's not one cause he wears a lacy garter? The world is so confused about sexuality. I blame it on churches and preachers, politicians and governments.

He yelled this out at the Melbourne Big Day Out, not the Sydney one. I only caught part of their set and missed the outburst in question, but even without hearing this remark. Johns came across on stage as a pathetic moron. I was embarrased to be watching them.
