@@meelsky dude I never said they sound like Nirvana. This is what was said about them when they tried to break this album out in the states. I don't think they sound anything like Nirvana trust me on that
bizarre 97. my first festival, with the the most incredible lineup ever seen in germany since then: Ash, Incubus, Beck, Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Bush, Faith No More, Marilyn Manson, Silverchair, Skunk Anansie... awww those memories
Love to hear what Dave thinks of Daniel after all these years. Would be awesome if Dave could influence Daniel & bring him back to his rock days & back to us.....
@@sexopimbada well Daniel did everything he could to break that impression, including saying he is ashamed of this old music which imo, makes fans feel bit odd. Are we supposed to dislike it too? I think the beef with his bandmate was a big part. And beinf painted with that grunge brush, he was like trying so hard to distance himself from it (Im no cookie cutter grunge rock star) That he just went right far to a weird edge. Basically the Macally Culkin of music if you watch any interview. Talent no doubt tho.
I remember when they came to my hometown Townsville in 1999 for the Neon Ballroom tour. They started out playing their new stuff, and it was ok. You could feel the disappointment in the crowd though. A long time went by and people who seemed to know what they were talking about were telling others "oh, they don't do their old stuff anymore"'. Anxiety began to set in, but then BOOM! Chris begins his intro into Israel's Son. Strands of my hair literally raised up, that's how powerful the bass was, and from there it was pure insanity. The crowd went nuts and after that they kept powering out the Freakshow and Frogstomp tunes. Been to all types of shows and festivals over the years since then but 18 years later and I've never experienced a rock moment like the one I had that night in Townsville. Thank you Silverchair.
Neon Ballroom is an amazing album. Except for 'Miss You Love', all songs are masterpieces. Steam Will Rise and Do you Feel the Same are my favorites from this album.
It's not that hard to believe. Eddie Van Halen was 21 when his album debuted. Robert Plant was 19 when Led Zeppelin hit the scene. Rock n Roll is for the young.
@@KingKull1971 yea That's you know. Later adolescence young adulthood. This is 13 14 years old. That's a bit different IMO but I get what you're saying
When I was a kid, I started building distortion pedals, starting with a valve one. My aim, to release a tube pedal. I even had a known Melbourne indy band try a prototype... unfortunately, it developed a fault on the day. Maybe five years later, the market was basically flooded with tube type pedals, and I first learned that Silverchair were using one. So I wonder if Daniel's using that one here.
Frogstomp 🐸 was something else I swear. My father bought it right when it came out. The year I was born too. Silverchair has always been that underrated Grunge band that hid mostly in the shadows.
Such a weird video in retrospect: Dave Grohl with his then-girlfriend, who he would later cheat on with Winona Ryder, introducing a band with a singer who was constantly compared with his deceased former bandmate. Meanwhile VS would soon break up because Nina cheated on her boyfriend with the band's drummer, and Louise would then hook up with Nina's ex (the one she cheated on). Phew!
the fact you care enough to even know this... Just broad brush it as celebs fuck around and even a marriage in that world generally is a 6 month relationship. (at the fame height, ofc it tones down with age) who even cares
and what is astonishing about silverchair is their first album frogstomp was written when they were 14 YEARS OLD. that is just incredible. how can a 14 year old sing like that. and play like that. mind blowing. and songs like the door, pure massacre israels son are fucking wiked songs mate.
Daniel Johns is so fucking underrated as a songwriter. Listen to anything after Freak Show and it's sounds more like the Beatles and Beach Boys than grunge (although for the record, I love the first two Silverchair albums, amazing heavy songs) only it's not a copy of those bands, it's just really good, amazing music. He deserves more respect.
godDAAYYUUMMMM Daniel and crew were incredible live... *_soooo_* rare for many grunge bands, and honestly silverchair was super-underrated for the time. likely if they'd just debuted a few years earlier they would've been at the same pinnacle of fame as all the acts that are clearly their influences (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc.) ...but then i guess such a version wouldn't be the silverchair we know and love? something of a "chicken or the egg" phenomenon i s'pose
In 1991 Silverchair members were 11 or 12 years old... When they released Frogstomp, band members were 15-16. And no, if it weren't for the Seattle bands Silverchair wouldn't sound like they did, along with their influences from Helmet
I remember hearing Silverchair live back in the day, simulcast by Triple J. If you didn't know it was live, you would think a lot of it was the CD playing. Remarkable.
Anything after "Frogstomp" is really good. Like, freakishly good. To me, "Freak Show" and "Diorama" are Daniel's best moments as a consistent songwriter. He not only shows that he can play some really unique post-grunge (a mostly horrible genre), he can also hold his weight in writing songs that aren't as tacky as "Frogstomp"'s efforts. Silverchair began with "Freak Show," not with "Frogstomp."
Right?!!? That lineup was fucking CHOICE. Ash, Veruca Salt, Silverchair, tha Foos, (unfortunately not) Suede!! Not surprised about the warmup thing, Daniel is such a perfectionist.
beautiful, the voice and the way remind you of the kurt and the sound and the melodies with a tear that he gives in the voice very reminiscent of the sound of Pearl Jam, beautiful ❤😐
How about showing Daniel Johns a little respect by not referring to him as "that kid." I love u Dave, but he does have one of the best voices in music.
I had the chance to see them once in my city when I was 17, I went with my sister. It was amazing! I hope they come back so you can have the chance. This is the second time they go into hiatus, first time was back in 2001 and eventually they reunited again, I think they might get back together again some day. P.S.: in 2001 they gave a break in their hiatus to play in Rock in Rio, they gave one of the best and most loved performances of the festival that year. ❤️
@@xero_theory7056 it's 2020. They aren't coming back I'll tell ya right now. Ben can't drum anymore(shoulders are done), Dan doesn't want to do metal or guitar stuff anymore. Then having to replay your childhood songs all the time in concerts coz everyone else loves them but u can't stand them. Plus the record company's only interested in old rocky silverchair music, and doesn't consider the way the band was going as sellable music. Plus I think they're just sooo sick of each other that's why they cancelled their 6th album mid production. So form your own band with others on the same wavelength and you might get more music. Ben has/had his own band, Dan does plenty of music and writes for others.
@@katherineschmidt2075 I saw them on their last US tour at a smaller 1000 capacity club and they just mostly skipped those old songs they didn't want to play. Freak may have been the only old song they did. I have been to hundreds of concerts and I can say that was one of the best I ever saw.
This is true - the combination of Nirvana - Sliver and You Am I - Berlins Chair. Silverchair sounds better. Shame they didn't stick to their heavy roots.
Diorama and Young Modern are very unique and intricately composed records. Yes, the music on Young Modern sounds a bit like other alternative pop/rock bands, but I think it reigns supreme to all others in that genre. I rank it up there with Bowie's dance/pop/rock albums. I find there is more elaborate orchestration and layering in Diorama and YM, in a way I have yet to hear from Coldplay. It's not really a valid comparison. I hope you can appreciate all their work someday. Peace.
I was in the military in Korea when Frogstomp came out. All I had for new music was the sampler of the top selling albums with short write-ups of the bands. I remember it said Silverchair was referred to as Nirvana in pajamas or Kindergarden. I bought the album after hearing their three 15 second samples, "Tomorrow", "Shade", and "Suicidal Dream". I liked the last two songs a lot more than the ones that they would eventually release instead, this one and Israel's Son.
Legend has it that Dave is still chewing that same piece of gum to this day.
I heard that he spit it into Lemmy's coffin, I shit you not.
I dont know Why He stopped this, and has become enought fat for an aterosclerosis. At the center of the Energy like They are a human should not slack off.
That's impossible
😂
legend has it people are still making this worthless useless unfunny comment after 15 years of youtube
He always had such a powerful voice for such a young age. This band is and always will be awesome. I wish they were still around.
Daniel Johns is so gifted....wish he had stayed in rock longer, Silverchair would have become a really big band if they did.
Pretty sure Silverchair is a very famous rock group since like 1994
Unfortunately a lot of people dismissed Silverchair suggesting that they are just Nirvana, Kurt Cobain wannabes.
@@Jasperjames9662 yeah even though they were more influenced by pearl jam.
@@Jasperjames9662 Dude they sound nothing like nirvana, the only similarity is that they’re were a grunge band at first.

I wish he would rerecord the old albums again now. It would be so interesting to hear him revisit the old songs from their first three albums.

At that time he was a kid.
18 years old is a kid mate.
Lol in the beginning when Taylor Hawkins says "I'm Taylor" he sounds British 🤣🤣🤣
Beck for the background music of the introduction... this was the best of the 90s!!
I wish i got to see Silverchair before they split up :( such a shame

@@recreatorband lol i have seen you in the comments of so many silverchair related videos lol
It's not. It came after and was inspired by it, but never as good as the real thing tbh. He was basically a Cobain wannabe.
People gave this band shit but, in all honesty, they fucking rocked. LOVE the crowd reaction at 2:29. Fucking bad ass, man.
my hero’s introducing my hero’s 🥺
If he was warming up his vocals for an hour, and is able to rock like this, the Ana hadn’t gotten him yet. Bless.
I mean, have you heard him sing emotion sickness in 1999 when "Ana" was destroying him? He may have been sick, but them pipes never go away.
I guess that's from when Dave and Louise were dating...
Yep, and I dunno why the hell I'm scrolling these comments. I'm only here for the old good silverchair and their awesome performance!
The original name of the band was actually "Sliverchair" it was put up wrong on a Marquee. They just kept it , true story
This is true - the combination of Nirvana - Sliver and You Am I - Berlins Chair. Silverchair sounds better. Shame they didn't stick to their heavy roots.
They clled themselves silverchair after one of the Narnia books, caled Narnia : The Silver Chair .
Yeah innocent criminals was their first name 👌
God, I miss the 90's...
Ben extremely good here
Thanks for upping this!
Silverchare is natural. Listen and enjoy
Silverchair's album when they were 15 y-old (Frogstomp) is greater than entire Foo Fighters' career.
Amen. Never been a huge Foo Fighters fan. I love grunge and imo FF have always leaned too much towards a boy band sound for me.
Pretty impressive song writing especially from 16 n 17 year olds.

We called them High Chair.
