[jmcadavid]

manos arriba hijos de puta, que musica

[ryan182dj]

silverchair are a poor mans papa roach

[AboriginalinCHINA]

Saw them live in 95 in Byron Bay. and loved it. I was moshing to this with about a 1000 others in the rain. Very cool scene!

[mrbpis]

I taped this when it aired live, and watched it a million times. Freaking awesome show!!

[mrbpis]

Best live show EVER at muchmusic 

[Travass83]

this guy followed up on Nirvana that generation had to be put to sleep in fear of anarchy

[heatherdumas]

Their new music is like a totally different world, I know. (Yet I still find all of their music addictive.) They're still alive. Sure, I like everything before Young Modern better, but if you love Silverchair at all, you support 'em no matter what. Daniel Johns' could sing the ABC's and I would listen.

[heatherdumas]

Silverchair is NOT fucking dead, dammit!

[candyfleshtriple6]

kurt jr. all hail moses znaimer

[StarWarsSuicide]

I love playing this on bass, so fun :D

[ankles29]

[Catsscratchfever]

Well I can see 6 people had the best part of them roll down mommy thigh and made a really big black stain

[Paramore31389]

I Love Silverchair and Nirvana sooooooo much.

Sure Nirvana was great and Kurt = God , he was absolutely brilliant.

My Idol, but i think Daniel was his successor. And he is still alive and that's the difference, he has developed. I also found the old silverchair better, but they are older now and the time has changed, then clearly the changes come in the music. Daniel and Kurt for me the two biggest talents in music history !

it`s a silverchair Video ^^ and i love silverchair. amazing.

[KIRSTENmusicLOVER]

Oh come on, what about Diorama? I think being in the Dissociatives had made Daniel the Young Modern type of guy that he is now. Oh well at least they can still play their old songs...

[Hateeternal2009]

silverchair destroys nirvana

[TheMarvinGaban]

@Hateeternal2009 and then,God slaps you acrossed the face for saying that.

[MrGuitarDemon]

He got a little out of hand at the end lol

[dankw90]

Ahahaha so funny that Silverchair used to be this amazing. Shame they suck dick now :(

[tubewindle]

Where can I buy this VHS or DVD?

[Duffsoup]

[pooisgood123]

Remember Mtv everyone? It used to play bands.

[tubewindle]

I think itz called MTV12 now.

[pooisgood123]

@tubewindle I think it's called your Dad.

[KablesP]

@pooisgood123

Was that supposed to be funny or something?

[pooisgood123]

@KablesP Is your dick meant to be funny in your Mum?

[rockdelsur]

Mas se parece PEARL JAM al principio de Even Flow , como Eddie Veder y su energia al cantar

[rockdelsur]

Mas se parece PEARL JAM al principio de Even Flow

[alemeno]

drummer is beast

[Offspring278]

The only thing that sounds like nirvana in this video is the ending

[RageLeppard]

To all these negative comments - you try being 15 and writing and performing as awesome as they did.

[Ragoo1992]

I don't even compare Silverchair to Nirvana, completely different band in my opinion.

Both great.

[Saintgutfree524]

I'm gonna cover this masterpiece.

[GlacierMoss]

@Saintgutfree524 You Should!

[Saintgutfree524]

@GlacierMoss AND YOU SHOULD PLAY DRUMS FAGLE

[andrewwowk]

Would half of those screaming girls even known what the point of that song even was?

[bettergameplay]

Fucking epic song and performance.

[dEaThGoAt100]

Sure they ripped off nirvana....but they sounded fucking awesome when they did it.

I dont know what happened to silverchair....but it sure wasnt a good thing

[abuseme1982]

nirvana is a completely different band than silverchair. the songs are not the same the albums are not the same. Nirvana disn't write songs like this and silverchair didn't write songs like nirvana. And smashing guitars originated with pete townsend so maybe kurt ripped him off! or handrix! or freakin kiss! I don't see anyone going on nirvana video's and saying that! Leave silverchair alone!!

[antiacido2]

@abuseme1982 totally agree with you. Mostly peopl who say two bands sound the same are people with no experience in that kind of music. I don't know anything about country music and all the songs sound the same to me. But i'm sure people who know about country would disagree with me.

[14houghton91]

gotta love the gimps that troll silverchair vids, its like excuse me what epic songs did you write when you were 15 ? exactly now gtfo

[GrungeRockerAziz]

Good stuff...

But the outlook, the wrecking of the guitar, pretty much everything at this point was indirectly ripping off Kurt Cobain...

I like Silverchair's recent material a lot more, they've grown up and found their own sound and style, and no longer need to look or sound like other bands, namely in this video Nirvana.

[marley2602]

wish silverchair stayed thizz sik!!! now they fukkn sing all that soft bullshit,im not impressed! any1 with me?? l0ol

[ajax515]

Aww... This brings me back to good ol' 1996 rocking around my room on a skateboard doing the air guitar. FUCK YEAH...... That ending is a climax in my pants for sure.

[Ramoa111]

Yeah baby!! smash that $3000 bitch up - NIRVANA style!

[vinsanity0150]

i like the fan in the front with the nirvana shirt haha

[TearsForLosers]

Best band ever! I love you,Silverchair!

[trocar]

this is a great fukin song...gettin hit in tha head with that bottle really fukked this kid up, huh!?! Too bad...

[nocode77]

No they don't have talent, like I said, when they ripped off other riffs and I do mean ripped off look at mad season with the riff silverchair stole on their song Slave, pearl jam might have some songs that sound a bit simular to some other stuff but they did not steal exact precise riffs not like silverchair. when i say they have no talent i meant that when they got older and showcased their own pure original stuff they flopped, never hear anything of them at all the music is light pop crap

[schism206]

Metallica ripped off pretty much the EXACT riff & melody in Sanitarium's bridge, from the bridge to the Misfits Helena. So I guess by your standards they have no talent whatsoever either.

[92DropDead]

And what about the voice ? No talent ? He was 17 years old, damn dude.

[nocode77]

what a sad and pathetic performance, not only do they steal and rip off many popular riffs from many great bands, but they had to pretend they are nirvana and destroy the set in the exact same manner as nirvana once did, when these guys decided to stop ripping off other artists and wrote their own creative stuff, they flopped. These guys truly truly have no talent whats so ever. very very sad.

[schism206]

I assume from your name your a big Pearl Jam fan, well they ripped riffs from other bands/artists too... the Even Flow riff sounds a lot like Voodoo Chile or Hands All Over, Yellow Ledbetter sounds like Wind Cries Mary. Everyone does it. Sure they are definitely emulating Nirvana here, but the fucking dude was 16, saying they had no talent whatsoever is pretty lame.

[vighain]

@nocode77

Nirvana weren't the only ones who destroyed the set, and yeah, maybe their new stuff could seem a little gay, but daniel's a great composer

[2abnrml4u]

Nirvana was not the first band to distory a set, to say silverchair ripped off nirvana is to say nirvana ripped off every other band tha smashed their set. Kurt admit's to ripping off other bad's (more than a feeling) I have seen both Nirvana and Silverchair live, and Kurt was never the frontman that Daniel was.

[CrazyAlvis]

@2abnrml4u I think Thhe Who have that honour going back to the mid 60's.....

[iwannagosurf]

@2abnrml4u so your saying kurt is a bad frontman

[2abnrml4u]

@iwannagosurf I'm not saying Kurt was bad, but when nirvana played live they had alot of off day's, where Kurt's voice and the band sound were off, but still a great band. I just think Daniel was better a putting on a great show. Kurt never seemed like he wanted to play live, where as Daniel seemed to injoy being the frontman live, and but on a better live show than Nirvana

[92DropDead]

First, even Nirvana steal Mudhoney's riffs, Mudhoney's singer long blond hair.. so even big bands steal too, so shut the fuck up

[92DropDead]

And Silverchair don't destroy the set.

[TearsForLosers]

No talent? Wow, you don't know much about music I'm guessing.

[oneznzeroz]

What a fucking finish....jesus christ a musical orgasm.

[reflectwhatyouare689]

Yeah man Daniel and Silverchair did with their music what they wanted to, i mean in an interview Kurt cobain said that he wanted to changed nirvanas style of music and if it alienates people thats too bad we dont care thats what he said, just cause he died we will never know what he was going to be up to, i have all silverchair albums and i will support the music they do and will do man

[PainDealer86]

that's some seriously epic shit there. feel sorry for the whole sell out affair...

[luvmycidia]

RIP Silverchair. You're not the band I once knew and loved. I remember having this whole show on VHS tape as a kid. Awesome!

[dreadbet]

@luvmycidia

silverchair's still alive and rocking

grow up kid.

[luvmycidia]

@dreadbet Still alive...yes...rocking....no...­. they haven't rocked since Neon Ballroom.

[dreadbet]

@luvmycidia

since straight lines.

[childrenofscrotum]

@luvmycidia My thoughts entirely....i must have watched this vhs like 100 times as a kid

[JDtunesdays]

@luvmycidia Back when cd's were still new and dvd players weren't around, i taped it on vhs too, the whole show!!!

They def aren't the band they used to be, neither is BUSH...Wish they made music like this today, instead of the shitty cheese pop bands they have now!

[yorkheardt]

@luvmycidia I wouldn't be the same if I'd been through half the shit Daniel has...

[BRAINWASHED79]

this is good old silverchair that i used to love as a teenager.i was 15 when this album came out and it got continuous play and then they came out with freakshow and that was another killer album but that danial just got all faggy and emotional with his anorexia or bulemia and he started writing all these love/teeney boper girl songs.he sold out his good music to try and become a teen sensation.but thats my opinion. im not saying silverchair suck now,just not my thing no more since they changed

[Run4TheRabid]

this is a good band. anyone who hates hsould go away. kurt cobain is dead. i love nirvana. but this is a silverchair video. so go away haters

[obecian420]

agreed :-)

[cheifchoofingcones]

Allrite, Daniel is better than Kurt. At guitar Kurt played only easy shit. Ever tryed to play a silverchair song, Daniel is better at guitar. At singing, kurt sucked tbh, he produced strains and yells that made a song, Daniel acually has a good voice. Hes nothing like Kurt; Kurt made himself, and no-one can fill those shoes.

[gibfenash117]

don't forget age of foolishness they rock aswell

[foosickness]

my grandad broke his guitar way before than hendrix hahahha...u faggots. just enjoy Aussie Grunge...these guys are up there with the elites..Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and the mighty Biffy Clyro (the scottish scene will be huge and is the next big thing for rock)..watch out

[mrtall1994]

@foosickness

I like silverchair, but they are NOT up with the elites whatsoever.

[skins555]

Wasn't this dude obsessed with Kurt Cobain? He looks like a 'clean' Kurt and tried to imitate kurt's rage by breaking his guitar (almost). Kinda lame, just my opinion tho so don't set me on fire!

[2abnrml4u]

wow, kurt was the first person to ever break a guitar... learn something new every day .

[skins555]

I didn't say that Kurt was the first to break a guitar--I said this dude (Daniel Johns) was obsessed with Kurt and was obviously to me imitating him. And BADLY, I might add.

Just my op

[laynestaley1990]

kurts a fag and couldnt play guitar better than this 16 year old kid

[skins555]

@laynestaley1990 : If Kurt was gay, what does that have to do with guitar playing? Even if Daniel Johns was/is (he isn't) better that Kurt @ guitar, dude is still trying to be Kurt. Do I have to dig out my old guitar magazine to find DJ's quote about how he grew his hair out to look like Kurt and how Kurt was/is his biggest influence? You lose. Come with some info or some quotes; point is that I'm correct in saying that Dan J. is a Kurt Cobain wanna-be. He friggin admitted himself!!

[obecian420]

@skins555 let's get one thing straight, Kurt Cobain is dead because he was weak. second, Daniel never said that Kurt was his biggest influence. he said that they liked soundgarden and nirvana but they were influenced by black sabbath and led zeppelin. when you find the clip where Daniel says he wants to be like Kurt Kobain please let me know. one last thing, Daniel Johns is listed one of the most underrated guitarists of our time....Rolling Stones Magazine

[Run4TheRabid]

@obecian420 guess who nirvana listed as their biggest influences, yep black sabbath and led zeppelin. also the beatles. but my point is that it's stupid to say that silverchair wasnt influenced by nirvana.and its even stupider to be so insensitive as to call a man who was depressed beyond all reason weak.u try living the messed childhood he always talked about.then becoming every ones favorite musician and then having child services take away ur child. and then be forced into rehab.

[obecian420]

if being honest about Kurt makes me insensitive than so be it. we all make choices and he made the wrong ones. i just refuse to feel sorry for a guy who put himself in that position. let me make myself clear, i'm not saying that Kurt wasn't great during the grunge era, i'm just saying that Daniel Johns is a much better musician that continues to put out music that Silverchair fans love. plain and simple.

[obecian420]

those are DJ QUOTES, NOT Daniel John quotes. it's called an opinion. Kurt was the shit back in the day but he is no longer alive so comparing Kurt and Daniel is mute. Daniel has continued to grow and get better with age, Kurt never even gave himself the chance. it's a shame really.

[alexsaito1990]

skinss555 shut up man ;)

[ankles29]

@ 2abnrml4u Jimi Hendrix definitely set his guitar on fire waaayyyyy before kurt broke his guitar

[2abnrml4u]

I was making a point ankles. Kurt was NOT the first to break a guitar, to say Daniel is imitating Kurt is stupid, and even Hendrix was not the first person to distroy his guitar on stage. Pete Townshend gets credit for that.

[ankles29]

im not sayin hendrix was the first i was just sayin he did it before kurt

[mrtall1994]

@skins555

i agree with you he seems like a kurt wannabe

[tropcis]

si no vienes pronto tu amiguito se muere¡¡

XD

great lirics¡

[tropcis]

jejeje

asesino¡¡

[oneznzeroz]

Only 66K views...should be more like 66 million

[chadwesleyband]

brutal...

[handrix89]

I guess the ending of this vid is the most DESTRUCTIVE thing I've seen so far. RRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCKKKK­KKK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEAHHHHHHH!!!!!! FUCK YEAHH!!

[alexmortland]

Oh, and "Diorama" & "Young Modern" are both fucking incredible. They're not only Silverchair's finest work (so far), they're two of the best pop-rock albums released in the past 10 years, and come very close to proving that Daniel Johns MIGHT be a genius (which is a word I don't throw around lightly).

I like pop-rock. I also like grunge. I'm allowed to.

From this vantage point, Silverchair are better at pop-rock than grunge. Way, WAY better.

[cosoamarillo]

couldn't agree more.

Idk if he's a genius... but that he's totally underrated as a musician... that's for sure.

[alexmortland]

Sounds more Soundgarden-ish than Nirvana-ish. For that matter, Nirvana, Soundgarden & Silverchair are ALL pretty Melvins-ish. What can ya do?

Nirvannabes? Well, Danny Boy sure LOOKS like Kurt Jr up there, but whatever.... he's 15, or some shit. He & his band are pretty solid for being 15 or some shit.

[markusjormajee]

so embarising ending.... no one can't do that "total destruction" but Nirvana

[gieboy00]

he can't break a PSR. that's why.

[oskysum]

lol, I think you'll find its a PRS (Paul Reed Smith)! not PSR hehe, but yeh you right, he won't break one of them

[gieboy00]

@oskysum

mistyped....

[BanOxyCred]

Put your hands in the air!!!!

[joshsilverchair]

sweet mad song.

[paTieNTdEaD]

Sweet ass ! Loved Silver Chair Then.

[driven6996]

He def looks n sounds similar to kurt cobain - very talented

[kjaerjakcajk]

he said he was gonna be the next kurt cobain.. he dead yet?

[LPJeetkunedo]

*ba dum tish*

[Apsnudes]

no,he started to play pop. The prediction failed ;D

[BanOxyCred]

Bullshit!

[xSoWxShadow]

What happened?

[rockandroll4life1]

SILVERCHAIR AT ITS FINEST!!!!!!!!!!

[horseklopp]

great band

[qlino1313]

someone in the audiense has a Nirvana shirt

[qlino1313]

agressive lyrics...

[DubWoodcock]

what a finish!! somehow i feel 15 again..

[Elistas]

I know!! I was 16 when this originally aired and now that I'm almost 30 it was nice to feel 16 again!

[vighain]

what he really felt, that's what music is, expression. I'm not saying Silverchair didn't, I just say Kurt Cobain expressed his feelings in a better way.

[vighain]

You people are really stupid, you're comparing 2 different grunge bands, Nirvana and Silverchair weren't the same sound, so we cannot compare them, Nirvana was grunge with a Punk side, and Silverchair was more with a Metal side, like AIC. But if we compare the lyrics, Cobain's lyrics were better.. if you people had a tiny idea of what those lyrics meant in a poetic way, you would agree with me. Nirvana's sound was lighter, but anyone could see that sound came from the inside of kurt

[WARRIORWITHINJACKASS]

muito bom.fodastico amem.

[Thajuicej619]

Are you people serious Rage against the Machine was by far the best performers of the 90's silverchair doesnt come close to them

[georgo342]

true that

but i still like silverchair

[ilikeyoutubing]

silverchair are awesome!!!!

stop argueing about nirvana guys .. dont like em dont listen to em , like em , then listen to em , they are two different bands entirely

[Nightmare200]

Nirvana? Shut the fuck up!

Nirvana is shit! _|_

Silverchair forever! \,,/

good times...

[1Nirvanalover4]

I wouldn't say Nirvana is shit. They are my favorite band but Silverchair is a close second and they always will be :)

[2abnrml4u]

If silerchair came out today, and played music like this, they would be bigger than any band out there, they are better live than any band of the 90's, and the best band of the 90's. but got ripped and called a "nirvana band"

[Thajuicej619]

umm im pretty sure no one could beat Rage Against the Machine or Tool in a Live Performance so i dont know why you bother say Silverchair was better than live in the 90's because the completely false.....but dont get me wrong Silverchair is really good

[2abnrml4u]

I have seen Silverchair, Rage and Tool all live, and they all kick ass live, but silverchair was always a band I would kill to see live. Daniel just had a live voice like no other.

[sk30l]

well ,they can keep making 'grunge' albums still but I think the music audience in Australia would reject them as most listen to rap and pop shit.

[nombo12]

nirvana and silverchair both has the same genre I should say but watever it is DIORAMA IS A MASTERPIECE!!!! top that kurt!!

[RyanKenny05]

Silverchair Went Completly Down Hill In My Eye's,I Know He Didn't Need To Write Angry Music Anymore,But Don't Complety Change ur Style Man,Old Silverchair is Where its At:D

[DruMMinDude93]

Hey pause it at 4:34 and u will see a NIRVANA shirt......... thats AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[cam6389]

wat happened to the awesomeness of Silverchair.>

[widawtaneym]

They became Silvergay...

[St0pTheNoise]

Well, if you know about the project Daniel did (the band by the name 'The Dissociatives')

To me it seems that he has since carried over the same style and same type of 'harmonies' The Dissociatives used into Silverchair.

It's a shame.

[Tokenmatt12345]

Lets face it Silverchair made better music than Nirvana, yeah they drew influence but at least they made songs with decent lyrics and very good music, anybody with ears would say that any song off Frogstomp is unmatched by any song off Nirvana's albums, Musically.

[YourFace]

I looked at what you wrote and just laughed. fucking laughed. that's all I could do. Laugh.

But I guess I can't expect a 25 year old to say something with intelligence though. You are forgiven.

[laynestaley1990]

NIRVANA BLOWS... plain and simple.. shittiest guitar singer combo ever

[Archangel3590]

/agree
