I was a hater at the time Silverchair hit the scene, but i now love this album amazing they were only 14 when they created some of these songs and 15 when they recorded it.
I remember the haters who were mostly the same age as them at the time. Daniel wrote these songs when he was 12 and 13. They were already playing half of their second album live in the same year that Frogstomp (first album) came out.
@@MrZZsharka at snl they wanted to play no association but they said no and to play tomorrow. Like they wanted to get out new shit asap they had such a great creative drive
@@jinxx3744 then I think you’ll enjoy this too if you haven’t seen/heard it. Check out Nobody Came starting at 51:25. (Feb 1996) ua-cam.com/video/Lo0LFtvzzXU/v-deo.html
Damn what a shame they didn’t let them play it.
Neon Ballroom is my favorite. But Freakshow, Frogstomp, and Diorama is perfect.
@VICTORIA ANDRESSA GONCALVES I'll marry ya ;) 💍 ;) I Love Silverchair.. if you love Silverchair as much as I do.. then I love you too :)
You made my day frogstomp is one of my favourite albums ever
I love every single song on this album never skip a song
Total fan of Silverchair. The covid lockdown reignited my love for watching performances done by the group. This group was truly special.
Thank you for uploading this.🤍
Just nabbed a frogstomp vinyl a few days ago after hunting for yearrrrrs
Underrated band an album.
I loved this video so much I definitely want to see a freak show video in the future 🖤
It's best to listen to Silverchair's discography from start to finish to fully understand their evolution of music, my personal ranking of their discography:
1: Diorama
2: Freak Show
3: Frog Stomp
4: Neon Ballroom
5: Young Modern
Again i would reccomend listening from start to finish because then i think you have the best chance of appreciating their stuff later in their discography as it is nowhere near as heavy as their first 2 records.
Silverchair where so good
What they went onto do after Frogstomp & Freakshow was incredible (and the stuff Daniel did outside of Silverchair is amazing)
Im of the opposite mind set, I like Frogstomp & Freak show but everything after that is kind of meh and Daniels stuff after Silverchair is just terrible, i was really disappointed in the direction they went after the first two albums i wish they had gone heaver..
@@Indonesiansurftravel I can see why alot of old school Chair fans didn't like what they became and what Daniel did outside of it, I guess it just boils down to what kind of genres you like
Talk and dreams are amazing to you? Why?
@@zakrowe1301 dreams wasn't really my thing i dug the shit out of talk, there's was 2 or 3 songs on it I thought where eh but over I reckon it was solid, great product and great electronic instrumentation, I can understand why it wasn't lots of people thing tho, it grew on me heaps since I heard it first
I really like one song of the Dreams album, the rest was way to experimental for my taste but it doesn't mean is trash. Talk on the other hand is golden, sure there are one or two songs that don't click for me, but Imagination, Arial Love, Chained, maaaan those songs are 🔥🔥🔥. I do like a lot of music genres so to me that is another genre that Dan has been able to tap into. Even in I can't believe is not rock, Staging a traffic jam is A M A Z I N G!
My dad saw silverchair at the Palais Theatre near luna park when frogstomp had only just come out and daniel johns did a stage dive and knocked himself out
13 then 14 when recording it... already touring when they were 15 🤘🏻😏
@@archivosrockchile Kids having fun in the spotlight lol.
I was there
The crowd stole his shoes while he was unconscious if I remember correctly
@@kainflynn1430 lmao, I miss the old Dan. Used to talk about trying to not get a big head, but now he has the biggest head of any celebrity I know. How he has fallen.
@@oakenclient I know right? It’s like he’s trying so hard to be this avant-garde, borderline mystic, oracle of gen X. I mean I can understand it would have been total chaos even on a good day, with record label executives pushing you one way or the other with pressure to tour and write new music. Given the close proximity of Cobain’s death, the fact that he was a skinny little blonde haired kid with blue eyes most definitely helped them get attention to start with (that’s just facts, no matter how much they said they weren’t, they were). But much to everyone’s surprise, Dan was a naturally gifted songwriter, their first 3 albums are as solid as any other band in that genre.
Then I think it all got to his head a bit too much, surrounded by yes men he just became a bore to listen to.
I wonder what young Dan would think about the man he’s become. Somehow I don’t think he would be content with the walking contradiction he’s moulded himself into
Frogstomp is amazing.....i just cant stop wondering how 14 yr old can come up with such heavy amazing songs... and its been 45 years
45 years?
Bruh you mean almost 26 right. Their silverchair not the Beatles.
@@dondinegar1546 opps my mistake... i was referring to my age.... yeah that's ryt..26 yrs
Oh ok
I think I still have the best original Cassette!
They wrote them when 12 and 13. Blows my mind.
This was the first CD i ever bought and still remains one of my all time favourites! 💗
Haha same! First ever cd I bought.. then I sold it to a school friend coz I needed money 💰 🤑
I have just started to get into Silverchair and I feel like Frogstomp is their most perfect album.
I was waiting this, thank you so much!!!
This just got recommended to me directly, like a text or something.
Close to 40 and this album is still a top all time rock album for me, especially as a debut. Every song is on a level some bands still can't put to wax.
While I enjoy Frogstomp, I’m a bigger fan of Diorama to be honest.
One of the most underrated bands all time. Silverchair is one of my all time favorite bands. First 3 albums are prime SILVERCHAIR!
I'm surprised my frogstomp CD still works!! I love all there stuff
this debut album is great! i miss grunge and post grunge era...
On your video discussing the Freak Show CD. You forgot to mention my favorite part about that CD, is when you put it into computer with a CD-ROM Drive it bring up videos for the making of the album.
Thanks for the review, i have frogstomp and freak show but lost them after those two. Going back to recall some great times listening to great music!
Good honest Rock'n'roll.
Right On.
Ben co-wrote most of the first 2 albums, and I dont feel he gets enough mention and credit for it.
My favorite albums by them are frogstomp and freak show. Diorama and neon ballroom were good. I don’t care for young modern
same tbh
Agreed
I love neon ballroom and diorama. I get the concept of young modern but it just wasnt for me. As for frogstomp and freakshow, they weren't really the most original albums but they were kids at the time so I dint judge it too hard
zak rowe I still love neon ballroom and diorama, but I listen to bands like nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Alice In Chains, and a bunch of punk bands. I guess that’s why I liked fropstomp and freak show more.
Caleb Green I agree
I seen Silverchair live with Tony Iommi mid to late 90s...Outdoor festival, I'm so old!
These guys are such a inspiration for my band and i
Neon Ballroom is the best.
Still a huuuge fan of frog stomp and freak show. Diorama is also an amazing album.
Young modern is ok, I just started listening to that one.
Silverchair is the GOAT!!!
You deserve more subs dude.
As soon as silverchair hit the scene here in oz everyone knew this was something very special. The manager Brian Watson called that band the day of Ben Gillies 15th birthday and told them frog stomp has debut at No 1. Every album since went straight to number one.
Their manager's name is John Watson
The first song I heard was undecided - it was on a kerrang CD. I was instantly hooked and when I finally got the CD it was hardly off my CD player. A massive record for me. I connected to it so well as I was about the same age as them and at the time, was amazed how good it was for someone the same age as I was. Mind was blown and I still listen to this album to date
I still play Silver chair every night at work great band. Well done guys you rock and they're Australian !!!!!!
I have the 25th Album love this album
My favorite album
Great video
After years of owning my mum's frogstomp tee I managed to nab the frogstomp vinyl and oooooh boy!!!! Can't wait
I have always compared Silverchair's musical growth from Frogstomp to Diorama to the Beatles from "love me do" to sgt peppers.
100%
Awesome 😎
The chair 90's. Palace Melbourne. John's diving off stage going straight to the floor. Great show.
Good stuff, GREAT band. If you did one of these videos for each of their albums, I would gladly watch and repost. I'm assuming UA-cam copyright shit gets in the way of utilizing the actual music, which is a bummer. But definitely agree with your assessment here 100%!
You can tell Helmet was a big part in there drop D sound love Frogstomp
Great video man!!
Love you from Indonesia
Love U from Sydney Australia
I will never get tired of the way they say Nirvana. Pure gold.
nerhvahnah
Amazing that they evolved independently of Nirvana.
Do freak show please
Idk why im watching this I haven’t even listened to this album
Nice video I too am guilty of comparing these guys to Nirvana. Love their 1st record but none of the others.
2.5 million... worldwide... Other than Back in Black, has this sold more than any other AC/DC album?
Why does that matter?
I seriously don’t know why they are compared to nirvana, it’s like 3 songs that sound somewhat the same style everything else is different , it’s good for sure it’s just not nirvana, Kurt was a fucking genius, no one compares to nirvana.
Chris' last name is pronounced Jo-Ann-You
Their best album 👍
Still own mine
I hear faultline is about the death of one of daniels friends in a earthquake in Newcastle
That story has been proven false
Straya doesn't really get earthquakes.
Tomorrow is not their most amazing song. Their most powerful lyrically is off of Freak show, the song is called nobody came. My favorite song is emotion sickness on neon ballroom.
Wow didnt know they are newy boys i wish they still lived here id stalk😂🖤🖤🤘 them wish i got to see them they come out when i was born 🖤 🇭🇲🤘
I'm so old.
I was in 7th grade when this came out.
1:15 Илья Лагутенко😀
Daniel Johns certainly did NOT write all the material. It literally says on the covers that ben co write alot of stuff.
Hey
Great album. Silverchair was actually my first concert back in 1995.
Who is the annoying presenter who keeps playing with her hair? Damn that was distracting…
Kudos to you (documentary maker) for pronouncing Chris’ name correctly hahaha
D I O R A M A
I accidentally wrote "Israel's Son" in 1995 freshmen year at one of our first band practices. I had never heard the song before. Then my Bass player Chris said "Hey, that's already a song." His Mom also had a hair salon.
It’s insane how we have songs like WAP coming from artists in their mid to late 20s but these guys back in the day who were teens wrote about really meaningful stuff.
Young nirvana
Daniel Johns is more talented than Kurt Cobain. That's the sad part
It's true just listen to neon ballroom and diorama. I dint think kurt had it in him to make something like that. Plus hed whipe the floor with cobain vocally. Only thing kurt has of daniel is lyrics, that's where Daniel has always fallen short in my opinion.
Daniel was talented especially for his age, but let's not get carried away, Kurt was on a totally different level.
@@Indonesiansurftravel Daniel had more stage pottential and professional way of improving as an artist and strated proving it from his early ages to present, but that doesn't mean that Kurt is a worse artist in any way! He had his own uniqueness that Daniel didn't have. Even that sometimes Kurt was doing simpler things, it was sounding really unique and specific in its own way! In music, there's no need to do something hard to sound good. Some of the greatest tracks ever were pretty simple and that's not a bad thing! Also, doing something hard in music, doesn’t necessarily guarantee you that it would sound even fine. So, I love both bands - Nirvana and Silverchair, support Daniel and Kurt. I was a die-hard fan of Nirvana for 3 years, now I'm a die-hard fan of Silverchair, but still love Nirvana so much. Both bands are great and we have to support them and appreciate their differences! We don't even have to compare and think about which one is better, because there's no correct answer for that. It's just about an opinion. 🙂💙⭐🔥✨
@@lightshader8731 Key word here: Support. So many comparisons these days.
@@zakrowe1301 Why do you think that? Kurt has its own unique vocals, Daniel has, too. But Daniel's lyrics on some songs are incredible, too. Part of my favourites are "The Closing", "Learn to Hate", "Israel's Son", "Leave Me Out", "Undecided", "Cicada", "Shade", "Emotion Sickness", etc... "Tomorrow" was one of the few songs that they've had written without a deep meaning. Kurt's lyrics were pretty deep too, but there are lots of songs that he has had written, that he didn't actually mean anything with. For example - "All Apologies". He said in an interview that the song was about nothing. He said that he didn't mean anything with it. Of course, he can say one thing, and actually mean another, hiding it for yourself because in my opinion, it doesn't sound like he doesn't mean anything, but anyway... It's not necessary to always mean something with your lyrics. I'm a guitar player and vocalist, too and personally I love having a deep and secret meaning with my lyrics, just like Silverchair and Nirvana, but... Every artist has its own way and preferences. There are some like Linkin Park, with clear meaning of their lyrics, there are other artists with secret and deep meaning, artists that write lyrics about things that don't exist, artists that write lyrics as a joke, artists that write lyrics as something that they don't mean actually (like some deathcore or death metal musicians, writing lyrics about death and something like that) and artist who just write lyrics about radom things that they don't even care about (one example in my opinion is "Big Cheese" by Nirvana. such a funny song in my opinion! 😁😂🖤🎼). So, writing lyrics is something pretty specific in my opinion. It's about people's understanding, preferences and artist's personal thoughts! 🙂🧡🌟✨
Israel’s Son is the reason I became a musician
Im not a fan of the later albums freak show has some ok songs but after that i dont care
Good video but wtf is this commentary
Im shocked at the comments for all the "diorama" love
I think its their second worst album, next to that album where they turned into Take That
Greatest view is a tune though, i must admit
Silverchair are the most irrelevant band in Australia, have you heard the hard-ons? Their mothers came out and complained when people were throwing mud at them at the first home bake at Byron Bay.
