Ahh what a cute boy Daniel was. He is the most handsome man in the world for me:)) I've heard this song long ago, when I started listening to them since Neon Ballroom. I love everything they do, no matter how they change they are unique. I was into hardcore and punk and I am glad they cover songs like this vigorous and powerful.
@kiltsonfire164 Lucky you. The Anthem single here in Canada sucked it just had Anthem for the year 2000 normal version and acappela choir version & ana's song.
@TheEddster thats cool. I love it but I can see how others dont. I think you have to be a big Silverchair fan to like this song cuz they have tons of songs better than this one. This song is more for the Silberchair fan that likes everything they've done.
@ministerofhate yeh i know what your saying, i'm looking at it from a hardcore Clash fan viewpoint if you know what i mean, nothing will ever beat them. But i have respect for anyone who attempts a Clash song cos its all showing respect for what the Clash achieved :)
@TheEddster Oh I can totally see it from your point. When any band covers a song by a band I love it always comes off as if they butchered the song cuz I love the original so much but at the same time I appreciate that that artist are fans of that band just like me and showing their love and respect, so its all good.
@TheEddster & if you havent check out these guys cover of Minor Threats - Minor Threat or their cover of Black Flag's Wasted/Fix Me both those covers are way better than this one. I just put this up here cuz it wasnt on youtube lol
Im seriously contemplating deleting this video though cuz Im really fucking annoyed by the Silverchair Vs Nirvana & Daniel Johns Vs Kurt Cobain retarded internet fights. If you love Nirvana/Kurt more than awesome and if you like SC/Daniel more thats sweet too. Both are great 3 piece bands from different countries, ages, backgrounds etc. Stop comparing and bitching and just listen to the fucking music or fuck off plain and simple... I could always disable comments if you insist on bickering
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you are a deluded fuck too buddy. the guy who put this video up. scentless apprentice and milk it have better vocals in it than daniel could ever dream off. daniel's screams sound technical and a bit fake. he's much better at adding shades of rasp. kurt is better. and much better lyrics too. don't even try and debate me on that.
@roejogan8 You are the stupid one comparing Kurt to Daniel. Why can't you just appreciate both of them for their own unique talents. It's people like you who can't get over the fact they were both great artists. They don't need to be constantly analyzed by insignificant little fools like you. Your a talentless piece of shit who thinks you know a lot about music, hint no one fuckin cares PISSANT!
exactly, i would even say that in reality there are not so many girls who like these textbook "ideal guys"
but Daniel's androgynous look, or his look itself, is certainly not the only reason why he is/was so hot for girls, it was more about his overall attitude
I disagree with you I was a fan of Nirvana before Silverchair Kurt had alot of talent but out screaming daniel johns wasnt one of them. Kurt didnt even really scream he more so yelled. Daniel Johns can full out scream and growl in different pitches especially live. You can name all of Nirvanas songs with screaming & I will disagree I know them all Territorial Pissings, Tourettes, Milk It, Beeswax, Negative Creep, Endless Nameless, I hate Myself And I want to die. Daniel is a better screamer
when daniel screams it sounds a lot more forced, like he's trying to hard. I dunno. cobain had a much more natural, cooler sounding scream. Paper cuts man, 2nd chorus (if you want to call it that), that's a cool as fuck scream.
daniel johns would have got a lot further on pop idol though...
Cobains scream was more forced the guy had chronic bronchitis and other lung/throat problems which required him to have to drink a full bottle of cough syrup just so he could perform. Thats not natural thats right there is a major indicator that his vocals were forced. You guys can think what you want and I understand. Kurt Cobain was my first musical Idol from age 8-16 and I used to think like everyone else that he was better than everyone at anything lol
Sorry mate, Kurt didn't 'require' cough syrup to sing. he used to drink t to get high. It obviously had it's benefits nonetheless.
Daniel Johns has a nice pretty voice for nice pretty songs. Kurt Cobain has a nice screamy voice for nice screamy songs. I'm not from the KURT IS GOD brigade either.
Think what you want but Kurt had alot of health problems and chronic bronchitis was one of them. Kurt only had one range of screaming (high) where Daniel can scream high pitched, mid-ranged, and deep growl like screaming. Daniel is better at more vocally than just pretty singing.
Yeah but the bottle of cough syrup before a show thing was pure bullshit. Johns has a more varied voice, I agree. I just think Cobains SOUNDED better than his when he was screaming. couldn't give a shit about ability. but then that's just opinion isn't it. Johns screaming just doesn't sound as natural. but he is still in my top 10 singers so lets leave it at that hey...
lol well I dont really like layed back relaxed half assed screaming. I like screamers who put alot more force, power and effort into it which makes it come out as sounding forced or not natural. I know Daniel or Kurt arent that good at screaming I was just saying who's screaming I like better and why. This song is the song Daniel Johns screaming sounds the worse in but thats not why I put it on here. I just did that cuz this Silverchair song wasnt on youtube lol
Daniel didnt start screaming until he was a young adult actually. When he was a teen aka Frogstomp/Freak Show Era he didnt really scream at all on cd or live aka 95-98. During the touring for Neon Ballroom & Diorama thats when he screamed the most live aka 99-03 when he was 19-23 yrs of age. Check out the songs Freak, Spawn Again, & Satin Sheets live from live vids on here from 99-03 & you'll see what Im talking about.
How could you forget "smells like teen spirit", "lithium", "rape me", "stay away" just to name a few ! Kurt had a stronger voice and screamed in more songs at a live gigs than Daniel. P S if you like Spawn again you will love Hooker with a penis by "TOOL" Daniel certainly did !
& theres more on top I didnt mention. I wasnt gonna name half of Nirvanas catelog lol. People like Kurts scream better thats fine & Im tired of debating it lol I think it might also be because Daniel's screaming is half assed in this one hes not full out screaming & Ive already said Daniel's screaming is better live. Kurt never did deep death metal-like screams but Daniel did
All across the town, all across the night Everybody's driving with full headlights Black or white turn it on, face the new religion Everybody's sitting 'round watching television! London's burning with boredom now London's burning dial 99999 London's burning with boredom now London's burning dial 99999 I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights What a great traffic system - it's so bright I can't think of a better way to spend the night
Kurt Cobain cant scream anywhere near as good as Daniel Johns from Silverchair can. If you dont believe me just check out the song Spawn Again by Silverchair
thats awesome! Nirvana was the first band I ever got into. I got into them while Kurt was still alive. Then the media and the record labels exploiting his death and all the new bangwagon fans cuz of his death just took alot away from Nirvana for me. A year after Kurt killed himself Silverchair came out with Frogstomp and right away I went nuts for Silverchair plus the fact that they were all 15 and only 2 years older than me also struck some interest lol
@MCXpress he's not a better singer. no way. he can sing in a higher girly voice better, but that's it. kurt's lyrics, melodies, and vocals are all better. i'm not knocking this guy. kurt is one of the best.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
music is art cunt. who gives a fuck who's cuter. if 2 painters painted a picture and you thought one was "cuter" but the other guys painting was a million times better, would you say u liked the cute ones painting better? FUCK OFF!
@roejogan8 So I love everything about Daniel, his songwriting skills, musical talent and looks. I'm entitled because I'm a fan. reasons. Your statements are lame and your the delusional psycho ranting about Kurt on Silverchair videos. You should FUCK OFF and let people like who they want for their own reasons.
Your really the stupidest person I've come across on Youtube, Congrats man!
@PunkMusicDream you're is what you mean. not your. i'll watch kurt be one of the greatest ever and you can watch your janial dohnston vids pussy! haha!!
@tukinemcantik and i don't think daniel could ever make something like nevermind or in utero. kurt could do anything and make it good. compare their llyric writing abilities for instance. daniel write bad teenage poetry, especially their first few offerings, and kurt writes brilliant lyrics and had a deep knowledge of rock history.
@roejogan8 Oh yeah regarding the lyrics writing ability Daniel was a teenage back then and he's improving as he gets older, and Kurt was much older so you can't compare them with the age differences. Nirvana's music is more like of "instant" rock music with sometimes only have not more than 4 chords in it, but Daniel can make more than just that. I'm not trying to defend Daniel, remember I'm also Kurt's fan. What I'm saying is that everyone has their own unique ability.
@tukinemcantik i agree about the age thing. but kurt wasn't THAT old. sure he was about 25 or 26 writing the lyrics for in utero. he really came into his own as a lyricist on that one. but for nevermind he was writing poetry in notebooks for 3 years prior to the release of nevermind. so he was only about 20-23 years old. the amount of chords i don't find a big factor, it's what he did with them, the melodies and lyrics combined with the delivery. very intense. high quality song writing.
silverchair are more layered, have denser textures, and a lot of varied instrumentation( nirvana was going to go in a direction with different instrumentation and a different sound, but sadly kurt died) but at the core of all that is the songwriting. kurt is just that talented. strip away all the excess and on a plain is better than pure massacre, come as you are is better than abuse me, all apologies is better than anthem for the year 2000, heart shaped box is better than the greatest view
@roejogan8 No. Plus "Pure Massacre" and "Abuse Me" have nothing to do with their more layered, denser textures. That's called superior arrangement, by the way, and has everything to do with how great a song can be. This is coming from a long time Nirvana fan, by the way - the last two Silverchair records beat basically anything Nirvana has done.
@runnersdialzero33 arrangments can be dense as fuck, or not, the main core of a song is what matters. kurt is better in every way. what a joke that u think this guy is better. a joke. nothing silverchair has done is on that level. their last 2 were pretty good but nirvana are great. there is no comparison whatsoever.
@roejogan8 "Tuna in the Brine" is better in just about every way than basically all of Nirvana's catalogue combined. Again, I love Nirvana to death, but the stuff Daniel has written for the last two albums is just in a league of its own.
@runnersdialzero33 no, nirvana is in a league of its own. one silverchair song is better than all nirvana's combined? yeah, ok. i'll have some of what you're smoking. nevermind is like top5, maybe top 3 greatest album of all time. silverchair wouldn't even be considered top 3000. that's not an insult. it's just the truth.
@pizt NO. nirvana is a lot more people's truths than silverchair is. they were even silverchair's truth at one time and brought them their initial and biggest success! nirvana in pajamas! hehe!
@roejogan8 To claim Kurt Cobain is a better lyricist is nothing short of laughable, Smells like Teen Spirit has some of the shittiest lyrics ever written.
@pizt Your album list is very good by the way - quite similar to what mine would be, except i would have Suicide and David Bowie alot higher. I'll beg to differ on Nirvana though, I am a fan of Nirvana. Good list though.
@pizt really? i find daniel's lyrics laughable. why is teen spirit regularly cited as one of the greatest and most important singles of all time? i think the lyrics match the melodies perfectly. doubt it could have been done any better. thanks for the comments on my list. it's actually not in any order at all. that would give me a real big headache trying to sort that out. lol.
@roejogan8 Just because Smells Like Teen Spirit was a bigger hit than anything Silverchair released doesnt mean it is better. Daniel has written some deep meainingful lyrics that have helped alot of people out including myself. Tracks like Across The Night, Emotion Sickness, Ana's Song etc deal with important issues. Kurt also wrote some epic lyrics and raised awareness about important shit like sexism, racism, homophobia etc. They are/were both great musicians who represented great things.
@ministerofhate that's not all kurt did. if it wasn't for him you would never know who silverchair was. and that is a fact. you're right, bigger isn't always better, but the song did a lot you know. it brought alternative rock into the mainstream and changed the landscape of popular music. you can count songs that do such a thing on one hand. my point to that guy is that the teen spirit lyrics can't be that bad. it's an important song. to say the lyrics are some of the shittiest ever written?
@roejogan8 LMFAO show me where in my post did I say SLTS is some of the shittiest lyrics ever written? That song got me into Nirvana before Kurt died. I have nothing but love and respect for Kurt, Krist, & Dave. Im just sticking up for Silverchair thats all cuz they are also a great band regardless of your ignorant comments about them.
@ministerofhate oh dear. i didn't say you said teen spirit had shitty lyrics. i said, "that guy", and "he". how did u think i was talking about you? i guess i should have used his name but i was too lazy. how are my comments ignorant? they are not as good as nirvana. that's not an ignorant thing to say, it's pretty much common consensus.
@tukinemcantik lithium is better than straight lines. about a girl is better than miss you love, in bloom is better than one way mule. aneurysm rape me, pennyroyal tea, you know you're right, silver, teen spirit, all colossally great songs. i guess we'll have to agree to disagree but silverchair in my opinion are lightweights compared to nirvana.
@roejogan8 Well, in some extent I would agree with you. But we are in SIlverchair's video so it's a bit inappropriate and silly to keep going on about this. And I still love Silverchair for my own reasons which I don't think you would be interested to know because you only have Nirvana in your mind and just love to underestimate others. What you're doing here is a Personal Taste, NOT the Most Correct Judgement. Have a good day.
@tukinemcantik i'm being very unbiased here. yes i like nirvana but it's not clouding my judgment. i'm just going on what i know about composition. i don't feel i'm underestimating. young modern is a decent album. probably their best one but not even their own fans like it in general, they'd rather the old silverchair. aka- the more nirvanaish silverchair. that's dumb to me. they finally did something different and people don't like it. i actually saw silverchair live b4. had a free ticket.
That's very cool of you to be okay with it- some people get annoyed if someone posts a comment that's kind of off-topic.
Yep, I had his Neon Ballroom hairstyle. Though, I didn't know it would turn out that way when I cut it :P I'm not sure if that's good or bad, seeing as I'm a girl. Oh well. Ever had a Johns-esque hairstyle? :)
Ive had the same hairstyle since 2000 an undercut with dyed black dreads before that I kinda had Daniel's short chin length hair style that he had at the end of the Freak Show era lol
for some people it is usually the ones who pay mad cash to get them done professional cuz they are lazy and never work on them and take care of them... But if you make them yourself and know how to make them and maintain them n shit then its really easy. I find it fun and im constantly working on my dreads at work to give me something to do with my hands lol.
I really miss daniels slick sparkly button up shirts, and work shirts that black pants & all that shit Yeah Spawn Again, No Association, Satin Sheets, And their heavier songs will always be my favourites but soft derpessing stuff by them I really love as well songs like Across The Night, Untitled, Asylum, Tuna In The Brine. Those Thieving Birds etc SLeep All Day is an amazing song though especially for New Daniel. Paul mac looks ugly with his gay mullet&glasses but hes an amazing keyboardist
oh yes I totally agree (only that asylum song is a little too much for me) there is nothing like his glitter eyeshadow...I also love his performances as drunk sarcastic jesus (rock am ring 2003) but the greatest view/world upon your shoulders chorus + luv your life are hard to take for me
see everyone thinks hes a huge asshole cuz of that Rock AM Ring 03 performance but I love it... I ove it when Daniel plays all sloshed and how cocky he gets... No one realizes that if they were drunk and had a mic and a big crowd they would say shti that came off offensive as well HAHA
it's the best! people just don't get sarcasm. even if there's some bitter truth in what he's saying as well, it should be clear that this is addressed to his own life and situation and not to the fans as individual persons. and I go with marilyn manson - if you're suddenly in the position to direct the crowd like hitler you should make them feel it from time to time. it's only healthy
I liked him best at BDO 2002 - perfect body, almost no body hair, very nice hair on the head (except that ugly goatie), hot performance though I'm not into luv your life and stuff. but one way mule - HOT... but he drove me crazy since 1997 I guess... I love twiggy in a nice dress.
yeah Twiggy with the freads, make up and driesses is hot but him being himself as Jeordie White isnt hot lol His nose is mangled. One way Mule is AMAZING but luv your life, my favourite things, world upon your shoulders ETC are songs I dislike on Diorama. His voice still soudns good in them just the music sucks... But obviously as far as looks goes hes better looking than Paul Mac, Chris and Ben put together HAHA
I like my favourite thing - makes me little gay I guess... but his voice...oh my... but as a song it's nothing to spawn again and stuff... yeah paul mac is really ugly. what a mean thing to say...but man he's ugly. yeah twiggy knew how to dress up - I really miss daniel's red nail polish btw
I guess you're a guy so you somehow cannot see daniels hottness like most boys can't. no offence I just noticed that his kind at the most appears cute or "pretty" (not that he is not)to boys but never sexy or hot. to me as a girl that's a whole other story. I don't know if he can bang the shit out of me but I certainly want him to lol. I googled that guy you mentioned but I only saw pictures of him with his face all painted and no offence again but he looked like robby williams to me(?)
lol thats hilraious thanks for telling me that he looks like Robby Williams. No ones has ever really been able to say who he looks like so now I have to to say to someone if they ask. I dont think he looks like that. But as I said, its his stage presence, his mind, his voice, the way he performs, his lyrics etc that make that guy hot. You just gotta be a fan...Kinda like with Daniel... 99 percent of the ppl who think he's hot or any GUY musician hot must be a fan of that musician.
lol I believe you that he is not looking like robby williams (guess I saw some bad pictures)... I'm still a fan of good old daniel (eventhough their new style isn't too much my cup of tea anymore) but he definitely isn't hot anymore. I loved him more ladylike lol - more hair on the head less on the body... what do you think of twiggy ramirez? wouldn't wanna make out with him but I think he used to look really cool
I was gonna mention people like Twiggy and Joey Jordison... I thought they were hot back in the day but both have let themselves go since then HAHA... I dont like Muscular men so I liked Daniel better when he was Anorexic... But hes healthier and happier now so Im happy for him.
I know no one else thinks that except me and of that guys fans but you gotta know him, his career, his multiple bands and most importantly how good his screaming is and his lyrics are to kinda think that..
But Ive never thought Daniel Johns is HOT I just think hes cute. For a guy to e HOT in my eyes Ive got to be able to picture them banging the shit out of a girl and I cant picture that with Daniel.
Daniel is just too much like a girl himself :) And I say all of this in no offense I love daniel best singing voice ive ever layed ears on and I love his scream, song writing, opinions, and guitar playing. His riffs are the best rock out and relaxing riffs going
no one else can really pull it off though and still keep a decent sized fan base (lol) but I agree if someone came along that was like Daniel Johns they could make it big but they would have to have the talent, voice, opinions/views, and looks that he has. Not that hes the hottest thing going but the ladies love him HAHA
no es not that hot lol especially not now... hes not even good looking now . Now he looks like a mix between Justin Timberlake and Chad Michael Murray (I think thats that dudes name) He was good looking from like freak show to mid Dioramaish but still he was never so hot that he was the hottest guy in the world at on point in time.
I didn't say "is" - still, don't make me cry - but he wasn't from freak show to diorama? who else was that hot?! (this is no rhetorical question, please tell me)
Do you think it could happen during this decade? A Johns-esque musician with both credibility and mass appeal? That isn't sarcastic, I wonder whether this superficial generation can still like artists who are not purely about self-promotion and plastic perfection.
@roejogan8 your the one who's pathetic leaving comments on SC videos. If your not a fan why the hell are you on here making comments you dumbfuck! I know what art is don't try and tell me anything. Your probably a high school drop out on crack. So STFU loser!
I have a weird feeling, if someone for the current generation (1987-1996) showed up who was like daniel johns, and came and did punk, grunge, metal, and emotional stuff (I'm thinking miss you love -ish) they'd be a hit, and kick like every artist's butt who's out there today.

Caramboti 3 years ago
I disagree with you I was a fan of Nirvana before Silverchair Kurt had alot of talent but out screaming daniel johns wasnt one of them. Kurt didnt even really scream he more so yelled. Daniel Johns can full out scream and growl in different pitches especially live. You can name all of Nirvanas songs with screaming & I will disagree I know them all Territorial Pissings, Tourettes, Milk It, Beeswax, Negative Creep, Endless Nameless, I hate Myself And I want to die. Daniel is a better screamer
ministerofhate 3 years ago
when daniel screams it sounds a lot more forced, like he's trying to hard. I dunno. cobain had a much more natural, cooler sounding scream. Paper cuts man, 2nd chorus (if you want to call it that), that's a cool as fuck scream.
daniel johns would have got a lot further on pop idol though...
inbloom77 3 years ago
Cobains scream was more forced the guy had chronic bronchitis and other lung/throat problems which required him to have to drink a full bottle of cough syrup just so he could perform. Thats not natural thats right there is a major indicator that his vocals were forced. You guys can think what you want and I understand. Kurt Cobain was my first musical Idol from age 8-16 and I used to think like everyone else that he was better than everyone at anything lol
ministerofhate 3 years ago
Sorry mate, Kurt didn't 'require' cough syrup to sing. he used to drink t to get high. It obviously had it's benefits nonetheless.
Daniel Johns has a nice pretty voice for nice pretty songs. Kurt Cobain has a nice screamy voice for nice screamy songs. I'm not from the KURT IS GOD brigade either.
inbloom77 3 years ago
Think what you want but Kurt had alot of health problems and chronic bronchitis was one of them. Kurt only had one range of screaming (high) where Daniel can scream high pitched, mid-ranged, and deep growl like screaming. Daniel is better at more vocally than just pretty singing.

Yeah but the bottle of cough syrup before a show thing was pure bullshit. Johns has a more varied voice, I agree. I just think Cobains SOUNDED better than his when he was screaming. couldn't give a shit about ability. but then that's just opinion isn't it. Johns screaming just doesn't sound as natural. but he is still in my top 10 singers so lets leave it at that hey...
inbloom77 3 years ago
lol well I dont really like layed back relaxed half assed screaming. I like screamers who put alot more force, power and effort into it which makes it come out as sounding forced or not natural. I know Daniel or Kurt arent that good at screaming I was just saying who's screaming I like better and why. This song is the song Daniel Johns screaming sounds the worse in but thats not why I put it on here. I just did that cuz this Silverchair song wasnt on youtube lol
ministerofhate 3 years ago
Kurt was a big smoker and screamed in nearly every song where as Daniel did not scream in quite a few songs live after becoming an adult..
zzsharka 2 years ago
Daniel didnt start screaming until he was a young adult actually. When he was a teen aka Frogstomp/Freak Show Era he didnt really scream at all on cd or live aka 95-98. During the touring for Neon Ballroom & Diorama thats when he screamed the most live aka 99-03 when he was 19-23 yrs of age. Check out the songs Freak, Spawn Again, & Satin Sheets live from live vids on here from 99-03 & you'll see what Im talking about.

How could you forget "smells like teen spirit", "lithium", "rape me", "stay away" just to name a few ! Kurt had a stronger voice and screamed in more songs at a live gigs than Daniel. P S if you like Spawn again you will love Hooker with a penis by "TOOL" Daniel certainly did !
zzsharka 2 years ago
& theres more on top I didnt mention. I wasnt gonna name half of Nirvanas catelog lol. People like Kurts scream better thats fine & Im tired of debating it lol I think it might also be because Daniel's screaming is half assed in this one hes not full out screaming & Ive already said Daniel's screaming is better live. Kurt never did deep death metal-like screams but Daniel did

thats awesome! Nirvana was the first band I ever got into. I got into them while Kurt was still alive. Then the media and the record labels exploiting his death and all the new bangwagon fans cuz of his death just took alot away from Nirvana for me. A year after Kurt killed himself Silverchair came out with Frogstomp and right away I went nuts for Silverchair plus the fact that they were all 15 and only 2 years older than me also struck some interest lol
ministerofhate 3 years ago
@MCXpress he's not a better singer. no way. he can sing in a higher girly voice better, but that's it. kurt's lyrics, melodies, and vocals are all better. i'm not knocking this guy. kurt is one of the best.

@roejogan8 I'm a fan of Nirvana too, but I don't think Kurt could ever make something like Silverchair's Emotion Sickness.
tukinemcantik 1 year ago
@tukinemcantik and i don't think daniel could ever make something like nevermind or in utero. kurt could do anything and make it good. compare their llyric writing abilities for instance. daniel write bad teenage poetry, especially their first few offerings, and kurt writes brilliant lyrics and had a deep knowledge of rock history.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 Oh yeah regarding the lyrics writing ability Daniel was a teenage back then and he's improving as he gets older, and Kurt was much older so you can't compare them with the age differences. Nirvana's music is more like of "instant" rock music with sometimes only have not more than 4 chords in it, but Daniel can make more than just that. I'm not trying to defend Daniel, remember I'm also Kurt's fan. What I'm saying is that everyone has their own unique ability.
tukinemcantik 1 year ago
@tukinemcantik i agree about the age thing. but kurt wasn't THAT old. sure he was about 25 or 26 writing the lyrics for in utero. he really came into his own as a lyricist on that one. but for nevermind he was writing poetry in notebooks for 3 years prior to the release of nevermind. so he was only about 20-23 years old. the amount of chords i don't find a big factor, it's what he did with them, the melodies and lyrics combined with the delivery. very intense. high quality song writing.
roejogan8 1 year ago
silverchair are more layered, have denser textures, and a lot of varied instrumentation( nirvana was going to go in a direction with different instrumentation and a different sound, but sadly kurt died) but at the core of all that is the songwriting. kurt is just that talented. strip away all the excess and on a plain is better than pure massacre, come as you are is better than abuse me, all apologies is better than anthem for the year 2000, heart shaped box is better than the greatest view
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 No. Plus "Pure Massacre" and "Abuse Me" have nothing to do with their more layered, denser textures. That's called superior arrangement, by the way, and has everything to do with how great a song can be. This is coming from a long time Nirvana fan, by the way - the last two Silverchair records beat basically anything Nirvana has done.
runnersdialzero33 1 year ago
@runnersdialzero33 arrangments can be dense as fuck, or not, the main core of a song is what matters. kurt is better in every way. what a joke that u think this guy is better. a joke. nothing silverchair has done is on that level. their last 2 were pretty good but nirvana are great. there is no comparison whatsoever.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 "Tuna in the Brine" is better in just about every way than basically all of Nirvana's catalogue combined. Again, I love Nirvana to death, but the stuff Daniel has written for the last two albums is just in a league of its own.
runnersdialzero33 1 year ago
@runnersdialzero33 no, nirvana is in a league of its own. one silverchair song is better than all nirvana's combined? yeah, ok. i'll have some of what you're smoking. nevermind is like top5, maybe top 3 greatest album of all time. silverchair wouldn't even be considered top 3000. that's not an insult. it's just the truth.

@roejogan8 To claim Kurt Cobain is a better lyricist is nothing short of laughable, Smells like Teen Spirit has some of the shittiest lyrics ever written.

@pizt Your album list is very good by the way - quite similar to what mine would be, except i would have Suicide and David Bowie alot higher. I'll beg to differ on Nirvana though, I am a fan of Nirvana. Good list though.
pizt 1 year ago
@pizt really? i find daniel's lyrics laughable. why is teen spirit regularly cited as one of the greatest and most important singles of all time? i think the lyrics match the melodies perfectly. doubt it could have been done any better. thanks for the comments on my list. it's actually not in any order at all. that would give me a real big headache trying to sort that out. lol.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 Just because Smells Like Teen Spirit was a bigger hit than anything Silverchair released doesnt mean it is better. Daniel has written some deep meainingful lyrics that have helped alot of people out including myself. Tracks like Across The Night, Emotion Sickness, Ana's Song etc deal with important issues. Kurt also wrote some epic lyrics and raised awareness about important shit like sexism, racism, homophobia etc. They are/were both great musicians who represented great things.
ministerofhate 1 year ago
@ministerofhate that's not all kurt did. if it wasn't for him you would never know who silverchair was. and that is a fact. you're right, bigger isn't always better, but the song did a lot you know. it brought alternative rock into the mainstream and changed the landscape of popular music. you can count songs that do such a thing on one hand. my point to that guy is that the teen spirit lyrics can't be that bad. it's an important song. to say the lyrics are some of the shittiest ever written?
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 LMFAO show me where in my post did I say SLTS is some of the shittiest lyrics ever written? That song got me into Nirvana before Kurt died. I have nothing but love and respect for Kurt, Krist, & Dave. Im just sticking up for Silverchair thats all cuz they are also a great band regardless of your ignorant comments about them.
ministerofhate 1 year ago
@ministerofhate oh dear. i didn't say you said teen spirit had shitty lyrics. i said, "that guy", and "he". how did u think i was talking about you? i guess i should have used his name but i was too lazy. how are my comments ignorant? they are not as good as nirvana. that's not an ignorant thing to say, it's pretty much common consensus.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@ministerofhate that's overboard. and ignorant. could he improve them or do better? i think we both know the answer to that.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@tukinemcantik lithium is better than straight lines. about a girl is better than miss you love, in bloom is better than one way mule. aneurysm rape me, pennyroyal tea, you know you're right, silver, teen spirit, all colossally great songs. i guess we'll have to agree to disagree but silverchair in my opinion are lightweights compared to nirvana.
roejogan8 1 year ago
@roejogan8 Well, in some extent I would agree with you. But we are in SIlverchair's video so it's a bit inappropriate and silly to keep going on about this. And I still love Silverchair for my own reasons which I don't think you would be interested to know because you only have Nirvana in your mind and just love to underestimate others. What you're doing here is a Personal Taste, NOT the Most Correct Judgement. Have a good day.
tukinemcantik 1 year ago
@tukinemcantik i'm being very unbiased here. yes i like nirvana but it's not clouding my judgment. i'm just going on what i know about composition. i don't feel i'm underestimating. young modern is a decent album. probably their best one but not even their own fans like it in general, they'd rather the old silverchair. aka- the more nirvanaish silverchair. that's dumb to me. they finally did something different and people don't like it. i actually saw silverchair live b4. had a free ticket.

I really miss daniels slick sparkly button up shirts, and work shirts that black pants & all that shit Yeah Spawn Again, No Association, Satin Sheets, And their heavier songs will always be my favourites but soft derpessing stuff by them I really love as well songs like Across The Night, Untitled, Asylum, Tuna In The Brine. Those Thieving Birds etc SLeep All Day is an amazing song though especially for New Daniel. Paul mac looks ugly with his gay mullet&glasses but hes an amazing keyboardist
ministerofhate 4 years ago
oh yes I totally agree (only that asylum song is a little too much for me) there is nothing like his glitter eyeshadow...I also love his performances as drunk sarcastic jesus (rock am ring 2003) but the greatest view/world upon your shoulders chorus + luv your life are hard to take for me
eatingcandy 4 years ago
see everyone thinks hes a huge asshole cuz of that Rock AM Ring 03 performance but I love it... I ove it when Daniel plays all sloshed and how cocky he gets... No one realizes that if they were drunk and had a mic and a big crowd they would say shti that came off offensive as well HAHA
ministerofhate 4 years ago
it's the best! people just don't get sarcasm. even if there's some bitter truth in what he's saying as well, it should be clear that this is addressed to his own life and situation and not to the fans as individual persons. and I go with marilyn manson - if you're suddenly in the position to direct the crowd like hitler you should make them feel it from time to time. it's only healthy
eatingcandy 4 years ago
I liked him best at BDO 2002 - perfect body, almost no body hair, very nice hair on the head (except that ugly goatie), hot performance though I'm not into luv your life and stuff. but one way mule - HOT... but he drove me crazy since 1997 I guess... I love twiggy in a nice dress.
eatingcandy 4 years ago
yeah Twiggy with the freads, make up and driesses is hot but him being himself as Jeordie White isnt hot lol His nose is mangled. One way Mule is AMAZING but luv your life, my favourite things, world upon your shoulders ETC are songs I dislike on Diorama. His voice still soudns good in them just the music sucks... But obviously as far as looks goes hes better looking than Paul Mac, Chris and Ben put together HAHA
ministerofhate 4 years ago
I like my favourite thing - makes me little gay I guess... but his voice...oh my... but as a song it's nothing to spawn again and stuff... yeah paul mac is really ugly. what a mean thing to say...but man he's ugly. yeah twiggy knew how to dress up - I really miss daniel's red nail polish btw
eatingcandy 4 years ago
I guess you're a guy so you somehow cannot see daniels hottness like most boys can't. no offence I just noticed that his kind at the most appears cute or "pretty" (not that he is not)to boys but never sexy or hot. to me as a girl that's a whole other story. I don't know if he can bang the shit out of me but I certainly want him to lol. I googled that guy you mentioned but I only saw pictures of him with his face all painted and no offence again but he looked like robby williams to me(?)
eatingcandy 4 years ago
lol thats hilraious thanks for telling me that he looks like Robby Williams. No ones has ever really been able to say who he looks like so now I have to to say to someone if they ask. I dont think he looks like that. But as I said, its his stage presence, his mind, his voice, the way he performs, his lyrics etc that make that guy hot. You just gotta be a fan...Kinda like with Daniel... 99 percent of the ppl who think he's hot or any GUY musician hot must be a fan of that musician.
ministerofhate 4 years ago
lol I believe you that he is not looking like robby williams (guess I saw some bad pictures)... I'm still a fan of good old daniel (eventhough their new style isn't too much my cup of tea anymore) but he definitely isn't hot anymore. I loved him more ladylike lol - more hair on the head less on the body... what do you think of twiggy ramirez? wouldn't wanna make out with him but I think he used to look really cool
eatingcandy 4 years ago
I was gonna mention people like Twiggy and Joey Jordison... I thought they were hot back in the day but both have let themselves go since then HAHA... I dont like Muscular men so I liked Daniel better when he was Anorexic... But hes healthier and happier now so Im happy for him.
ministerofhate 4 years ago
Jason "J Mann" Popson :)
I know no one else thinks that except me and of that guys fans but you gotta know him, his career, his multiple bands and most importantly how good his screaming is and his lyrics are to kinda think that..
But Ive never thought Daniel Johns is HOT I just think hes cute. For a guy to e HOT in my eyes Ive got to be able to picture them banging the shit out of a girl and I cant picture that with Daniel.
ministerofhate 4 years ago
Daniel is just too much like a girl himself :) And I say all of this in no offense I love daniel best singing voice ive ever layed ears on and I love his scream, song writing, opinions, and guitar playing. His riffs are the best rock out and relaxing riffs going
ministerofhate 4 years ago
no one else can really pull it off though and still keep a decent sized fan base (lol) but I agree if someone came along that was like Daniel Johns they could make it big but they would have to have the talent, voice, opinions/views, and looks that he has. Not that hes the hottest thing going but the ladies love him HAHA
ministerofhate 4 years ago
he at least was the hottest thing going on - admit!
eatingcandy 4 years ago
no es not that hot lol especially not now... hes not even good looking now . Now he looks like a mix between Justin Timberlake and Chad Michael Murray (I think thats that dudes name) He was good looking from like freak show to mid Dioramaish but still he was never so hot that he was the hottest guy in the world at on point in time.
ministerofhate 4 years ago
I didn't say "is" - still, don't make me cry - but he wasn't from freak show to diorama? who else was that hot?! (this is no rhetorical question, please tell me)

I have a weird feeling, if someone for the current generation (1987-1996) showed up who was like daniel johns, and came and did punk, grunge, metal, and emotional stuff (I'm thinking miss you love -ish) they'd be a hit, and kick like every artist's butt who's out there today.
