  • I'm glad that they have evolved in their own way, but this is so weird to watch...seems like a completely different band...Daniel Johns used to be so somber and unlike this...he kind of seems pompous here... I was just listening to "Emotion Sickness" the other day...Neon Ballroom is one of my favorite albums of all time... I will be honest, I don't like this new style at all - but I'm happy they're still making music. His voice is still good though

  • i dont like it, but there is no reason to haters to keep shouting at it. i liked nirvana, pearl jam and silver chair, one day someone came to me and said, wow, u only like grunge bands? i said: what? grunge? no 0.o! the guy said: well they r all grunges. i said:really? so, ye i do like grunge... what i am trying to say is that i dont like, just coz i dont like, not coz they r not grunge anymore. its just that i dont liek this kind of music, although i respect, and so should all who liked old SC!

  • please someone... what's he pickin with at 2:28 ?

  • @lenief is it... a humbucker?

  • @lenief I think when he stood up the wireless box thing for his in-ear monitors came out, so he tried to put it back in his pocket but there was no time so he was just like "meh I'll just use it for a pick".

    I knew he was good at improvising on guitar, but jeez. haha

  • @HoodedSword yeah mate, you're right :D

  • it really was a good album aye

  • FUCKIN YES.! nothing much else to add to that.

  • FUCKIN YES.! nothing much else to add to that.

  • Way to rock the house Danny boy I luv ya. I want your fine ass baby cmon!Wooowooo ;)

  • there keyboard player kicks ass

  • When I first heard the new album I didnt like it at all. I missed the old rocking sound, but after a few listens I fell in love with the new stuff. People need to look past what they used to be and see the genuises that they are now

  • amen, brother!

  • he's so Cute here :D

  • wearin an ACDC shirt lol

  • oh shut up

  • True hurts. Silverchair WAS a brilliant band. Now just sux. Check old's Silverchair fans opinion, and u will see that almost everyone thinks the same... And won't be an american junk food eater that will make me shut up.

  • wtf are u talking about? ive been a fan since frogstomp and ive grown out of it. its not 1995 anymore. its not bad, its different. you dont have to like it.

  • "mind reader" is not bad, but "straight lines" and other new tracks are desappointing. But yes, u're right, i dont have to like it. i just think they changed so much... whatever. sorry for call u junk food eater, i was upset for something else.

  • The new album is a work of art. Frogstomp is a work of art. Everything inbetween, is a work of art. silverchair is brilliant.

  • They all need to grow up.

  • ya face is dead

  • Its this a cover, or is it actually a Silverchair song??.. Just sounds familiar to something.

  • its a real silverchair song man lol not a cover.

  • it sounds a bit like david bowie ay? thats what i thought, but still a mad song.

  • wow i bet u its coming out on single!!!!!

  • Yup, it's the new single!

  • ill tell u whats comming out...silver chairs comming out....thier comming right out of the closet...

  • what?

  • Daniel isnt gay. Neither are the other two.

  • It probably is yeah. But with songs like this.... does it matter?

  • Touche!

  • best song on the new album

  • diorama is an impossible album to top,but this one is full of good songs that do grow.they sound great live too,see them if u can!

  • bullshit,,,,where is the rock???? fuck also!!

  • bloody nora, stop maoning about this album and silverchair, i thought it wouldnt get better than diorama but i think they just keep getting better.

  • 'Telephone shoes' and the previous line 'you're not a private detective' is a reference to the TV show 'Get Smart', where Max actually did have telephone shoes, which was a running gag. Right??

  • No shit, sherlock. Get it?

  • I never thought i would say this about any of their songs ever, but i do not like this song at all. I understand the need for a change but this is just disappointing. What happended to the songs that had meaning and powerful words coming from his heart.

  • Wow...do you think he's actually enjoying himself here dumbass??? What a concept!  He's finally having fun and he's probably just so sorry that you're "disappointed". Cry yourself to sleep asswipe.

  • Seriously...for those who say this album is crap...give it a chance. I was surprised when I first heard it b/c it wasn't what I expected..but after awhile it really grows on you. Trust!

  • very real performance

    i like silverchar.. yes.. i like it

    thanks for the video

  • no way, you can't compare kobain with this guy...this is silverchair's real sound because early records where just a copy of nirvana and pearl jam. if you compare this "own" material with nirvana or pearl jam, i think they are a lot steps back from them. nirvana and pearl jam marked a generation

  • well lets just say this ...they should of continued copying nirvana

  • To hell with Nirvana, rot in peace Kurt.

  • LOVE THIS SONG. they're so awsomeness...i swear no one is as cool as these guys.

  • animal a hora q ele perde a palheta e toca com o captador de som do microfone,pure feeling,great song,great daniel johns performance

  • head band is HOT!

  • why does he always wear that ridiculous headband now...?

  • cause he's got BIG EARS. face it!

  • His face is so gorgeous it's hard to notice the ears.

  • Telephone shoes...LMAO! I've never heard of something like that before. I wonder what they look like. Sweet video.

  • haha never thought of it as actual telephone shoes. i thought it was a metaphore.

  • i agree with you agentareenge, i think kurt never had the chance to heal himself (side note: i dont think it was suicide), while daniel johns has healed himself. i do agree that if cobain would have survived, he would of changed up his sound just as johns has.

  • p.s. kurt cobain was a musical genius in his own way. i still have nirvana love. silverchair just doesnt remind me of them at all. if anyone has an opposing opinion, i would like to see your take on the matter :)

  • miren por que no se dejan de joder manga de yaquees putos y dejan de comparar a dos gtupos que poco tienen que ver....por favor...no saben nada de musica

  • silverchair should NEVER be compared to nirvana in the way that i am seeing on youtube! the only similarity that i can think of is both bands willingness to change up the style and sound. this new album shows a much healthier and happier daniel johns and kurt never gave himself a chance to recover. maybe if he had, they could have gone in similar directions.. i just dont see it.

  • hey muisque68 do you really think daniel is going to live longer than kurt cobain, i wonder how old he is going to be, o wait he already died years ago. I think they are two completely different genres of music, cobain never would have gone this route, they are both talented and seperate bands that both had to different writing styles about them.

  • If you read my post again it says I would NEVER compare Dan to Kurt...all I'm saying is this song has the same type of appeal as when Kurt Cobain covered Lake of Fire...catchy in the same type of way. It's just my very personal opinion that Daniel has a better voice and more talent than Kurt ever did..but that's MY personal opinion. SEE YOU NEXT MONTH DANIEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ac/dc shirt, ac/dc riff.

  • yes Daniel is WAY MORE TALENTED than Kurt Cobain.....his vocals are a millions times better and his instrumental talent is way more amazing....

  • I would never compare Dan to Kurt Cobain because I think Dan's way more talented and will live a lot longer but I do have to say, this song's addictive to listen to in the same way Lake of Fire was when Nirvana covered it!

  • i love this guitar.........( i have the same one)

    telecustom rulz

  • its a tele deluxe silly!

  • so damn catchy!

  • This is the perfect song to listen to with a can of beer or 6. Yeah, Dan-NAY!!!

  • that shit he does with the sound pack!!! that's rock'n roll man, that's pure fuckin rock'n roll!!!

  • When Daniel pops off the ground at about 2:23 does his sound pack fall out or does he pull it out on purpose? Either way he then uses it as a pick! If it is the first, then that my friends is some slick improv...well played Dan.

  • fuckin genius, Daniel is a fuckin genius

  • I love the line "..so take Pictures!"I think he say that but it's really cool....his language is kinda misunderstandable these days...

  • The line is "she takes pictures, through my frozen eyes".

  • *lazy eyes, not frozen eyes.

  • Cool song.

  • He's just bringing it in this performance. Thumbs up!

  • please make this the second single

  • this is fun music... and i think paul mac is a good like accomplice but i wouldnt like it at ALL if he became the fourth member.

    silverchair with 4 people? *shudders*

    i dont like it one bit

    anyway good song catchy and makes u wanna dance for sureeee. although i miss the heavy lyrics

  • it used to have 4 members... the innocent criminals had 4 people then theguy moved to england and wated to join when he moved back but they said no... on ya guys :D

  • haha oh yeah i know that.. but that was before silverchair lol. he didn't make good music, they did. lol :) good for them eh?

  • love this song!

  • judging by the footage of US shows his voice is back in business...maybe it just needed easing into...he hasnt been performing 24/7 like in days of old (eg diorama tour) and by the way jonny back off U2! they're AWESOME! overhyped my butt!

  • ok my bad! pearl jam dont suck! they're very talented. i just dont like them. they're not my taste. i hate the lead singers voice. but they are good. i'll them that.

  • How many times is Daniel going to make me cry? Forever and ever and ever and ever

  • I'm really getting into this new sound. It ROCKS!

  • this is great man...I see a lot of 70's on it..they got me surprised..I love diorama and this new thing!

    FALL

  • this is tthe maaaaadddesssttt

    silverchair are the best band ever 2 set foot on this earth

  • Love it. Can't wait to see them in Toronto -only a week to go!

  • It's his wireless pack for his guitar. I think he tried to fix something on it and then dint have enough time to put it away so he just used it as a guitar pick haha. I think it's cool.

  • Actually, looks like it fell out when he stood up. He tried to tuck it back in, but then he needed to play so he improvised.

  • haha yeah i thimk thats exactly what he did.

    haha makes me laugh. daaan.

  • I really love this song. Is he using an E-bow?

  • another great new song. they rock!

  • i guess he uses that to input his guitar on, so it takes out the cables to the amp... wireless ;) many artists does use that

  • if it was a mic pack,then why has he got a pic in front of him?that makes no sense,so you would be the noob there.since when has daniel johns had a mic pack?

  • Is it just me or is that chorus basically the same chord progression as "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones? The Dandy Warhols ripped them off too with their song "Bohemian Like You". I guess it's a pretty good riff. I think maybe the last chord is different, but it's still really close.

  • Silver Jet of Leon!!

  • I agree with you. and believe me, I love the grungy stuff but this also rocks! Straight Lines, Young Modern, If You Keep Losing Sleep, Mind Reader YEAAAAH this album is gonna be a masterpiece. and we haven't heard the rest of the songs and the album version will be much much better!!!

  • if people were really fans of silverchair and dnaiel they would be glad that he's happy and not stuck in a spiral of depression. i love seeing him happy and smiling and loving his new music. Young Modern is going to rock!

  • I agree with you, here, skoomers. He seems much happier and healthier. And that's all I want from him. I also just wanna say, I love how he's strumming with his wallet. WTF mate?!

  • That's his microphone pack, you n00b, not a wallet.

  • If it was a microphone pack,then why has he a picrophone in front of him?ahem,noob term is something you fit under.

  • yes here you say this. but on the young modern video you say pearl jam suck and that u2 rocks. pearl jam is a band just like silverchair. both always devoloping their new stuff and always growing up. if you want to listen to U2, a totaly overhyped band that sounds always the same you can do it, but don't say pearl jam suck... and I know there are another silverchair and pearl jam fans here... i think...

  • Going to love the new album. Loved everything silverchair have ever done, and I love the evolution the band undergoes whilst writing EVERY new album. im glad we dont have a diorama (part 2) cause it just wouldnt be silverchair!

  • young modern will be silverchair's best album to date. by far. daniel has finally blossomed, i'm glad he's done with the over artsy i'm depressed crap.

  • I hope you don't mean Neon Ballroom because that album was their best thus far and fucking brilliant and what got me into music.

  • hes not using a pick...what is he using?

  • His wireless pack for his guitar fell off. Looks like he couldn't get it back on his pants in time. :)

  • I love this song.

  • I think hes changed drug dealers, these drugs are having a serious effect on his song writing and state of mind give me the deppressed daniel again

  • he went on a 2 year marijuana high with the dissociatives thats why he cant sing falsetto anymore or anything. There was an article a ew weeks back in the sunday telegraph about how he "smokes more weed than snoop dog"

  • is weed legal in australia?

  • nope. it definately isntlegal

  • Yeah, you're the pro. Jesus christmas, man! Think about what you're saying. Pot doesn't rip away falsetto. Your throat may be dry temporarily but it's not permanent. You don't think Prince ever had a toke?

  • even so, he smokes normal cigarettes and that DOES screw up your voice and you cant deny that. Explain to me where his voice has gone then? why he cant sing like he could during diorama anymore?

  • I haven't heard one good live performance during Diorama. His voice...SUCKED most notably shown on half of that LIFAS dvd. His voice is awesome here. I love it.

  • whaat? his voice was awesome on LFFAS

  • because he sucked at diorama whe they played live...there are songs he cant´keep the key

  • at homebake? or during the diorama era?

  • What he sounded amazing during Diorama. no matter what he smoked, pot or cigarettes, it for sure changed his voice, in your opinion whether it was for better or worse. Anybody have that article about him on his smoking pot period?

    man i'd love to blaze with daniel johns. thats would be awesome. haha

  • o no im not sure if im gunna like the new album cuz ive heard 3 of thier songs and i dont really liek them much i loved dioroma i was hoping the new cd was gunna be like it since they were now going down the softer kinda music but this is just kinda weird....but i still love silverchair

  • it is kinda weird isnt it

  • wow, this is bad, and I like silverchair

  • hahaha, lancewaldrop, that was awesome

  • I don't like this Band, I think they just play crap

  • yeah, they should play more songs like nickelback.

    </sarcasm>

  • I think this song rocks. It's raw, the chorus is the catchiest thing they've done for a ROCK song yet!!!! And I love the funk ness to it.

  • this song should named: rubbish

  • i love this song...not as much as young modern but i thinks its still awesome...all the new songs are...can't wait till feb 15th

  • awesome

  • wow, I can't believe, I'm so sad. Silverchair actually wrote a song I don't like. I've liked everything, every album, every song, every live song I've heard, including other new ones like if you keep losing sleep, young modern, and sleep all day (which isn't supposed to be on the record, but I loved that song). But this song sucks, and I'm bummed about it.

  • You know what? I thought that the first time I heard it, but then I forced myself to watch it a few more times. It's grown on me a little bit since. Hopefully the album will deliver it in a better way. I'm going to be positive about it, because like you, I haven't disliked a silverchair song ever before.

  • this song will be a hit. Silverchair made it again!!!

  • you're right. this will be a hit!

  • In my opinion I think this song musically is mediocre. If you compare it to Emotion sickness or Across the night they're just way better songs in my mind...MUSICALLY, not talkin bout the lyrics

  • I don't like it...mediocre songwriting I think

  • it's just fun!

  • daniel made clear that the new songs aren't meant to be lyric heavy like diorama/neon ballroom. and they're not mediocre anyway, very in line with a lot of older classic rock songs.

  • lol no way paul should be a member...though he's great live accompaniment.

  • I love it .... I can't stop dancing to it

  • I wish they'd make it official and have paul be the 4th member... he brings so much to the table both in talent and creativity.

  • this song sounds like jet at the end

  • i noticed theres a lot of keyboard in these new songs.

    this song also sounds kinda AC/DC...with the riffs but without the piercing vox
