This band exhibited both the gritty crunch of the grunge movement and the "pop"ish mentality at the same time. That's likely why they are associated with Nirvana, or at least the only reason they should be. Nirvana (Nevermind in particular) was famous for that. Other than that, these two bands are vastly different. Kurt had a great voice, but Daniel has a completely different and more dynamic voice. Two different ends of the awesome spectrum.
His voice is pretty amazing here... make me come back on my teenage era... so glad them to make part of my life history forever... thanks. Wish they come back with this huge rock sound soon...
I listened to Nirvana a LOT when I was in my teens and in high school. I'm 22 now and have moved on with my tastes in music but I have a younger sister who now loves Nirvana :)
Before he sings 'Point of View' he says it was recorded for Channel V, thats an Aussie music station. i guess it was just aired on tv. Iv tried looking for the full concert footage, but these clips are as close as i can get. Hope that helped
I really firmly believe, they all came from the same musicial influences, which is why they all have the same raw sound. If people know anything about grunge...they would understand. Not putting anyone down, but i'm a huge huge Kurt fan, but at the same time, i've been in love with silverchair since Frog Stomp came out. So, basically...you can't really compare to musicians, each have their talents, and flaws. So just sit back, and enjoy the amazing music of the grunge era =)
why does people say he is a cobain-faker. so every boy who's blonde and let his hair grow is a cobain-faker? silverchair doesn't even sound like nirvana.
Frogstomp was heavily grunge-influence (but then, all music borrows from other music, although Frogstomp/grunge was pronounced), but Freak Show's grunge influence was minimal.
@WwoEvarr they sound a lot like nirvana in their FreakShow album...abuse me/rape me? Lie to me/Tourette's??? Petrol and chlorine/Lithium(they dont sound similar but the title)???
And i like both bands, don't hate on silverchair at all, but it would be stupid to deny it.
I love nirvana and silverchair, and sure on the frogstomp album you can hear a slight grunge influence - but thats where music was at around that time, silverchair have evolved and changed.
Dan is a fantastic musician, brilliant composer.
Stop bitching about who is better, in the end they are both ground breaking bands, music shouldnt be a competition
thats not true either he they listened to classic rock like black sabbath, KISS, Led Zeppelin and bands like that, all those grunge bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Silverchair all sound kinda similar because they all liked the same bands
Daniel Johns has always been a genius with ever evolving musical creativity! Sure he did pot and what not, but Kurt Cobain was just an overrated, glorified, drug addict! Daniel Johns deserves the respect that Cobain fool gets... <3
everyone could talk about whether ppl like nirvana or silverchair better, but the fact of the matter is that daniel johns was influenced by kurt and that is easily seen throughout songs like freak and abuse me. without nirvana there would be no silverchair
why cuz I dont think Kurt Cobain is better than Daniel Johns Big Fucking deal??? And with a screen name to do with a shitty fucking pop star singer it shows your tastes are sooooo fucking good.
of course kurt was talented. do some research, listen to his music. though I don't like the neverending comparisons between silverchair and nirvana their singers have quite something in common - surpassing intelligence, sharp sense of humor and great talent.
ok..just to get it straight...let us not take suppositions as asured things...they are totaly different...maybe i was just in doubt bout his talet...maybe not...who knows? that's the reason of my question. Period! heheh...hugs!
Kurt is over-rated Daniel is better than him! he has way more vocal range and is way more diverse. Sure Kurt came first and changed a nation but at least Daniel fought all his health battles and problems and didnt blow his head off and take the easy way out. IF daniel would of killed himself in the peak of his depression im sure everyone would put Daniel on a pedistool as well instead everyone criticizes him for his new look and sound small price to grow up mature and not kill yourself I say :)
if you say so Smells like Teen Spirit changed ALOT of shit... I know cuz I was there for it all.... Tomorrow and Freak didnt change shit HAHA but still I like those songs alot better
hey im not even a nirvana fan anymore I havent been one since 97 but I do know when music changes the world... Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson that shit changed the world (lol) The Marshall Mathers LP that shit changed the world... Sure not like WWII or the Great Depression... But still one album by one artist can do alot at the right time. Now even though I like Silverchair WAY more then Manson, Eninem and Nirvana put together, but One album by Silverchair didnt make that kind of impact
it doesnt take that much to change a fucking scene or culture.... So you are gonna tell me The Fucking Beatles or The Sex Pistols didnt change jack shit?
thats true but I dont look at things like you do.... Things dont have to be that big of an impact for it to change the world in a small way.... Sure no music changes the world like a big war, or 9/11, or HIV or the invention of the television. But still I think some band have changed shit in small ways... like NWA RAGE SKINNY PUPPY ETC
@caduteacher hey hey...calm down boy....silverchair is one of my favorite bands...but if exist a band that nirvana cant touch is alice in chains...or soundgarden...the rest...nirvana is fucking powerfull.
they had 3 good albums and the rest is crap. now they look like they shoot gay porn on the side and sound like it too

Oh, yeah. My life's totally differrent since antichrist superstar. I think the world used to spin in a different direction before that right?
Maybe a few music scenes changed, but that's it. It's pop music. Not a cure for cancer, and end to war or a vaccine for aids.

The sex pistols were a group manufactured and marketed to take advantage of an existing scene.
Anyway, I conceded to the change in a music scene. I'm saying the world wasn't changed. The world is a lot bigger than the music scene.
