Silverchair - Freak (Live 1-21-2001 @ Rock in Rio 3)

[MrShredFish]

welp the first time i heard this performance which was a few months ago i thought he was on e or coke or speed idk but i just read on the chairpage that he just took heaps of anti depressants and anti anxiety pills before shows to help him cope. soooo yea

[betsybk56]

This is freaking awesome!

[Joegreen29]

Love the "Grunge is not dead" sign.

[Darkwolve123]

PLEASE DANIEL!! save something for other musicians geeeeeeezus!!!!!!

[betsybk56]

@Darkwolve123 Hehehe...good one! He is indeed the genius!

[Darkwolve123]

@betsybk56 Daaaam right lol

[vinnybamboocha]

The best version for this song! Great!!! I'll never forget this day

[HoodedSword]

0:53 Now that's a fucking mosh!

I'm loving the guitar feedback and the glitter coat too.

[blitzkiller3178]

you wanna be a kurt cobain ;D?

[xxxdrummerxx]

00:53 best crowd ever!!!

[Yokonono99]

this is pure sex

[xoninmuoshda]

this is the best version of this song.

[sandiablol]

On of the highest moments of rock

[mlovmo]

I like both the Tom G. Warrior-Celtic Frost vocal and the falsetto together.  The Japanese band Tsushimamire does this kind of thing on their song, 'Tea-time Ska'.

[AngeloNoel]

This Daniel is fucking nuts! hahaha!

Awesome live music!

[nrl1987]

that solo is a little hard on the ears

[dhaveron]

@nrl1987 That's the idea... :P

[PeopleArePlastic]

0:55 What a crowd ...

I love the beginning. Daniel plays the riff a little different. Then he turns around. I adore the turn. It's like "Here I am, let's rock".

[LucianoSaloioRibeiro]

IT'S BRAZIL!!!!!!!

[sebinholovesyou]

[AceGuitarR7]

[piscesdreams1023]

damn this is slow

[canorjohn]

4:14 Grunge's Not That Dead !

Oh yeah.. here this is Grunge.. Pure Grunge !!!

[elsassfed]

What's the pedal of the solo ?

[fanamire1]

I loved this!

The guitar intro, the wacked-out vocals, the "fuck you!" style exit, classic.

A really entertaining performance.

[jointour]

[williameliecer]

Really this is one of the best perfomace that I've watched in all my life... Amazing!!! GRUNGE IS NOT DEAD!!!

[lappinsilver]

NIRVANA ARE THE BEST silverchair are my favourite band but NIRVANA ARE BETTER, Daniel was never copying Kurt in fact if you'z are big silverchair fans you would know that dan chris and ben never liked Nirvana and ben hated them, anyway it was just media fucking shit

[Zeljkottt]

i agree with KurdtKobain09... Nirvana Do This Nearly At The Start Of Every Concert.... Silverchair Are Good But They Are Not Better Cus' There Was Only One Nirvana And That's The Way It's Goin' To Stay... And Btw I'm A Big SilverChair Fan Too

[kyrannnn]

too bad this was the end of their concert. read the description :P

[heysupersonic]

wuahahahaahhahaaaa (:

[guitarspark]

lol do u know how hard it is to read your reply

[steamlocodriver]

Silverchair have done heavier music then Nirvana

[MCXpress]

KurdtKobain09: Not in my opinion. And if it was - Daniel is doing it alot better :)

Btw. i'm nirvana fan too.

[kennyvp]

eles bem que podiam vir pra cá esse ano...fazer um showzããão..rrs e o daniel bem que podia tirar aquele bigode ridiculo :)

[KurdtKobain09]

sounds like something like kurt cobain would do at the begining of a concert

[Alineszpaller]

Melhor banda que existe!

E melhor performance desse show, que foi na minha cidade. :D

[Riiinaaallldiii]

Muuito foda esse shoow... silverchair é o melhor ! muito maneiro msm !

[Renanceleron]

d+

esse foi o show!!!

[everythingafter]

Frankly, I didn't know he was this good of a guitarist or vocalist. I figured he was just a f-off who could play a few chords and sing some. I've got new respect.

[morgs94]

this is by far the best rendition of freak. The way Daniel plays with his voice sounds amazing.

[boycng]

silverchair needs to bring back some of these heavy stuffs. true rock. fucking rocks!

[TearsForLosers]

I agree!! I miss the old days!

[iamarobotbiotch]

This song completes my soul...for sure dude.

[lffpipe]

3:03 get up!

[AVC666]

he is one heavy guitarist and his voice is insane!

[jamalicious1]

he used some pretty interesting voices in this version.

[libbies]

haha i don't know why but i love this version cause of the voices, i can watch it all day, it cracks me up/it's so rad and i want to imitate it

[Iktius]

I was there, but the best band of that night was Diesel, there are some videos of this band on youtube , it was fucking awesome!

Eu tava lá porra!

[H13drummer]

wow....... the chilis were there too and you fuckin choose Diesel. I haven't even heard of them

[fonkyjunkie]

damn! if i had this kind and this quality of material, i'd made so much mess with my 6 strings!

[thiagodelpoco]

I was there in the crowd and I sooo want to go back at this time again.

[vishusmartishus]

consider johns is probably stoned out of his mind and yes it was a good solo even though it didnt really come out

[cherribella101]

haha what a man

[laboloche]

amazing..fucking great live

[parrusta]

2:54 WTF?!?!?!

[jamalicious1]

clown man?

[bunyip2005]

Daniel Johns is in the Rolling Stone's top 25 Underestimated guitarists of all time. I think he's like 18.

[H13drummer]

daniel johns now is 28. He was 21 in this show

[bunyip2005]

Ahh ok then.

[iamuser]

Another Nirvana rock in Rio.. agree?

[buschtall]

tiny tim voice??? and i'm sorry guys, but that was the worst solo ever. you dont need talent to solo like that

[scatterbrain92]

[evanhawnsenn]

[Hangar13band]

[cooper5200]

[cooper5200]

[garrunge]

this is the most grunge we ever had i aus now they are art rock fags (yes art rock is real look it up on wikipedia.)This may be the best live performance ever the crowd are fucking into it johns is into it it is FUCKING MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[rencilein]

one word: MdMa

[kirnelsanderz69]

thats not a word...

[rencilein]

ok, extacy

[popedogg11]

too true dude

[Loowin06]

They finished their 2007 across the great divide tour of Australia with freak as well and i have to say that it sounded alot better there than at Rock in Rio. On here i think at times he sounds tired and bored, but in Australia they were really getting into it

[XlongoX]

from 1:56 this song is absolutely sick.

he gets into it with passion. definately when silverchair were at their peak.

never gona hear him roar ever again

[hsdkahkjcbaksc]

Yeah they're kind of a gay band now :( Sad but true :(

This performance tears shit up tho !!! :)

[XlongoX]

yep. this performance is mad, now theyre a bunch of poofs.

[bluebruisedmushrooms]

indeed... :( :( :(

I think he found himself and we, in turn, lost him.

[lappinsilver]

hey fuked 86 i can answer your question fucking paul fucking mac you now silverchairs new keyboarder wrecked them and daniel johns started smoking

[1300finger]

In this vid, Dan looks a bit like what he does now. Even though Silverchair were better then. By the, i'm doing Silverchair for my grade 6 graduation this year but im not doing this song! :( 

I have to do Straight Lines.

[Blakeyisbuffed]

Fuck! The whole crowd just went wild at the start of the song! Awesome!

[leonardogrupogil]

get oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooout!

[fuked86]

why can't they go back 2 writing songs like this? what the fuck happend 2 this band?

[chosealife]

neto é gay!

[Mandaau]

this rocks!

[jessiedanielledesign]

At the very very end... about 5:32...there is a woman who nonchalantly touches Dan's shoulder and then she follows behind him backstage. Is that his mom? Such a "mom" thing to do and she's wearing a "mom" purse. :-) I know... who cares. That's the little crap I pay attention to.

[charliebrown363]

I doubt that was his mom, but you know he was sick with the arthritis back in those days, and he's the type that you wanna be like " i wanna give you a hug", so that could have been just a friend feeling empathy for him, as i did when i 1st saw this. not that i feel bad now, b/c he's so good now! people have shit they have to deal with in life, and he was dealing w/ some shit right there. whatev! that music makes me hopeful!

[chrislcs]

i was fucking there!

hah! caralhoooooo!

[kt889]

love it

[yuqueen1985]

omg they rockkkkk!

i luv daniel he has everything that i want!!

sexy,cute,long hair n his style mmm hes fuckin awsum.but they were gone slow now which is sad to me...

[Doyek]

aahahah sweet

[miguelmf]

Daniel loses it.. lol He must be SO tired of playing this...

[SPLAATT]

This has to be my favorite Silverchair performance.

[4tus]

GNR's gig was better

[GeorgeGrunge]

4:06 GRUNGE IS NOT DEAD!!!

[4tus]
