Silverchair - Freak

[whenroutinebites]

ok instead of arguing over bands i'm going to say the proper female thing to say which is: DANIEL IS FUCKING GORGEOUS.

[OUDERLESSxFART]

do you think theese guys could be the new nirvana?

[louphebe]

that tone.. omg that tone!

[panetha1]

false

[lennydadog]

what a freak

[GUSABRIAN]

Aca estan re pasados man!

At This Video They´re really pased out chabon!

[yehapwnt]

lets get silverchair back to what they use to be!

[multigabo31]

I LOVE HIM...WÁÁÁÁÁÁÁ

[MrLonedog09]

I have more enthusiasm sitting at my computer listening to this than the crowd does seeing it in person. I'm convinced I was born 10 years too late. I would have killed it as a teen in the 90's. <3

[demidevil666]

I like how they kid the audience by slowing the song down at times :D

[GrungeMetalRocker]

the only thing he has in common with Nirvana is his hair !

[alontan]

Daniel was about to disappear! so thin!

[ned2one]

I wish Silverchair went back to this style of humour with a heavy edge...

[wbelusque]

VERY FREAK!

[EvanTheKillerWolf]

Frogstomp and freakshow were like the best albums. I dont really care for the rest though. Lol doesnt he kind of look like greg sage at the very beginning?

[SveNo1]

FREAK!!!! dzieki

[ethankernaghan]

that guitar looks so smooth to play.

[Nirvanaholicxxx]

@ethankernaghan i was thinking that same thing :D

[89AJS]

Silverchair is pretty legit

[TrainBuffProductions]

@ 92DropDead Yeah but I ask.... Have you ever herd Kurt Cobain do death metal style of vocals??

I have herd Daniel do death metal screams many times before he went soft... 3:14 - 3:23... That scream is something you hear from Cannibal Corpse, Six Feet Under etc.. That sounds way more angry and painful then a Kurt Cobain scream.

[Sporegasmed]

@TrainBuffProductions I dunno, death metal vox is certainley angrier, but painful? Nah, Kurt's scream was definitely much more painful, especially in "Gallons Of Rubbing Alcohol". Either way, this song rocks.

[franknirvana]

@TrainBuffProductions Yes, the fecal matter demo from 1985

[TrainBuffProductions]

Good shit

[randoman1990]

I was raised on this music, and I thank my dad for it every day.

[Ci4nyde]

he's voice's amazing

[mttzLOL]

Nirvana, either Kurt Cobain himself  is not that creative to make song like this !

[MyNegativeCreep]

@mttzLOL FUCK YOU!

[mttzLOL]

@MyNegativeCreep

You just say that beacause you know that when Kurt Cobain was alive wrote few song of his own. And when you ask somebody today do you listen grunge, they say: "Yes, I listen to Nirvana", What are yours favorite songs ? "Smells like teen spirit, lithium, come as you are..." You know why ? BECAUSE THESE FEW SONGS ARE ONLY SONG NIRVANA WAS KNOWN BY. I listen to grunge, o I love it, but this is king music to Nirvana so sorry, I don't want to offend you. K. Cobain RIP

[MyNegativeCreep]

@mttzLOL I think you're a bit stupid man.

I have all songs, and SLTS is one of the worst songs of them in my opinion.

I listen to more than just nirvana..

Screaming Trees, Tad,...

[mttzLOL]

@MyNegativeCreep

Ok, but told you already when ask everybody for 5 of their song, people always say Smells Like Teen Spirit.

[MyNegativeCreep]

@mttzLOL yeah man i know what u talkinbout cuz most of the "grungers" are fools and mainstream fuckers. Peace

[mttzLOL]

@MyNegativeCreep

Ermm, I'm a punk but I listen Silverchair and grunge for 5 years.

[MyNegativeCreep]

@mttzLOL hehe :D

i listen to grunge a bit more ;)

never listened to something such great as Punk Rock & Grunge.

Death metal is quite good too i think ;P

peace

[4alarmer]

fuck man this song got me into skateboarding!

[yagsisiht99]

this is horrible and it seems like its just dragging on

[Gloriamagnificens]

People need to stop comparing Silverchair to Nirvana. For fuck's sake, I can name any one almost 15 different bands that Kurt outright admitted he copied. STFU and listen to this badass song of which there should be more today, but unfortunately there aren't.

[crackthesky146]

people need to stop comparing bands. its dumb.

[8hotfuzz8]

you look like my dick

[FCUBlade]

so he/she likes a rotting smelling dick?

[rockandroll4life1]

wow is that riff, is it played in drop b???

[samsims69]

drop Db here, drop D studio recordin im pretty sure

[ivanbrfr]

meu irmão, o daniel johns tá tão magro aí

que dá até medo dele se quebrar todinho se mechendo

do jeito que se meche ! heahheahuae

mas o ao vivo tá pankada !

[1curt12]

first song i learned on guitar!! soo easy!

[scarlettdear]

they still are amazing. they have matured into a different sort of band. the teenaged angst is behind them and theyre writing about the things that matter to them now instead of dwelling on what they wrote about ten years ago. they all are still excellent musicians. they can't make the same music they made in the mid-90's over and over again it's selfish that people expect them to.

[silverchairlova]

i agree, just that songs like "if you keep losing sleep" is a far stretch from "after all these years" and they turned pop instead of rock. i love them but thats a pretty odd album.

[louishollis]

This is when they turned shit.

[silverchairlova]

no young modern is when they turned shit. they were amazing up til young modern.

[louishollis]

Frog stomp, and Freak show is when they rocked after that Daniel started singing like a fag.

[silverchairlova]

when you say he started singing like a fag, you must be messed up in the head. his voice matured while still being even MORE amazing! music trancends and evolves for every band...dont expect groups to sound the same in every song!

[Nravota]

Silverchair actually suck big balls. Nirvana is way better.

[1curt12]

why compare artists, its totally unrealistic.

[osobnipodaci]

True.

[darowswell1]

Look the performance was good. Thats it. No need to cry about it.

[k3ysEdge]

silverchairlova is the dummbest person ever! probably a 14 year old girl who thinks she knows music!

[silverchairlova]

But Silverchair is way better.

[silverchairlova]

OK...well maybe someday youll realize that you are a dumbass for thinking I dont know about their similarities!

Who do you think you are?!?

[silverchairlova]

not to be a hypocrite but people really need to actually write about the performance/video rather than trashing the band or having all out f%@&ing fights. wheres the f ing love!! if you dont like them then just dont commment on their videos or even watch them for that matter!! ooohhh that was difficult to figure out!!! dont listen to music you dont like listening to. leave us Silverchair fans alone you f ing Nirvana loving bitches!!!!!!!!!! have a good day!!!!!!!!!!!!

[y2jcoondx]

for u people who r ever useing nirvana's name with sliverchsir is just wrong nirvana is the gratest grunge band to ever live sliverchair is ok

[MaderNord]

damn true !!

[strokebomb101]

its normal for bands to get influence from other bands so stop saying they wanted to be nirvana 2

u can listen to neon ballroom where the real original silverchair sound starts and its awesome

[PeaceChick07]

SO SEXY! Awesome version!

[wednesdayjackson]

LOOOOOOOL 3:15 !!!! WHAT'S THAT??? It's sound like's a big joke!!!!

[steamlocodriver]

I love he's death metal growls

[dustgoddess]

wow he's thirty soon! hottie :) xx

[tconnor6]

Go the Newie boys!!!!

This is my fave of their songs!!

Home grown & proud!!!

[ChetCampbell72]

Garbage.

[CMXXXPUNK]

imo, silverchair and nirvana never had the same sound..they used to sound more like pearl jam if anything back during the frogstomp days..people compared them to nirvana because when they came out it was shortly after nirvana had fizzled and the media was looking for somebody to be the next nirvana and because they were a three set and because dan had the long blonde hair and the clothes i guess thats who they picked..but eversince freakshow silverchair had their own sound...

[MaderNord]

Silverchair have nothing to do with Nirvana !! Well honestly, I like some of their songs like Suicidal Dream, Shade and maybe.. Freak, which I think tries to remind Nirvana a bit, I don't say that in a positive way though, but I think that Daniel guys has a bit poseur part in his behaviour.. anyway, the guys are not that bad as a whole, just have nothing to do with Nirvana.

[CMXXXPUNK]

um thats what i said

[MaderNord]

yeah, I think there's misunderstanding, sorry, just wanted to share my opinion too;)) wish you all the best

[silverchairlova]

To all the haters theyre way better than Nirvana! They never tried to be like them they were actually influenced by Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin. They hate it when you compare them to Soundgarden, Nirvana, & Pearljam, because they barely even listened to them. You think they arent as good as nirvana, well theyre actually 10x better than NV. SC's instruments are far more advanced then NV's. Plus Nirvana writes about the same stuff, SC is versatile while still being really deep! SILVERCHAIR 4 LIFE!!

[RJB610121]

Whoever told you that they never listened to nirvana is a freaking lie lol. I've listened to their stuff and there is zero elements of Zep or Sabbath. Anyone can tell these guys are cheap Nirvana knock-offs, and Im sorry did you actually say silverchair is better than nirvana?

Haha, your hilarious.

[silverchairlova]

well they are better than them and they even said in an interview that they barely even listened to nirvana. they also said that they were influenced by Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. I got it straight from the horses fucking mouth. so do your research bitch. Nirvana writes about the same situaions and i do listen to a lot of their songs and think they are good. but nowhere near as good as SC. Silverchair's guitar has waaay more dificult guitar and waaay deeper lyrics!!!!! So hahaha you're hilarious!

[RJB610121]

Haha, a lot of bands say that so they dont sound like knockoffs. Dont get me wrong I like Silverchair, but comparing them to the legacy that Nirvana has, just sounds a little strange. I mean look at all their videos like Shade and Freak, I could sense the Nirvana like feeling to them A LOT more than Sabbath. And as for the more difficult guitar parts and lyrics. I'd say there on par with Cobain's style.

[silverchairlova]

SC isnt a lot of bands & they are who they want to be w/out caring about losing fans/not having any at all. Sabbath +Zepp were their inspiration. doesnt imply that they want to sound LIKE them. You didnt seem to mention other videos like Emotion Sickness,Miss You Love,Abuse Me,Cemetary. I dont even get why people fight about Nirvana & Silverchair b/c I honestly dont see any resemblence. The only band that links to SC for me is Jam. Settle it to this: They are both legacies and both are original!

[RJB610121]

You usually see some sort of influence in bands that say they were influenced by. Thats like saying Britney Spears was influenced by Motley Crue and then wrote crappy pop music. I didnt mention other videos because I was showing an example. I dont know what resemblence you cant see Im a Nirvana fan but not as much for SC. Go watch Nirvana in concert then watch this. same stage presence its scary. Settle it to this: Nirvana = legends. SC = would make a good Nirvana coverband

[silverchairlova]

Yeah there's a resemblence. They are two long haired blonde men playing guitar while singing! Hmmm....what a coincidence!! I have seen them in concert before & they have different stage performances. Daniel's body is all over the stage & he moves his body to the rhythm. Kurt doesnt really move around the stage & interact with the other bandmates like Daniel. You didn't show other videos cause you weren't showing their individuality in the vids. Settle to this: SC is better live and are legends!!

[RJB610121]

Haha there is more of a resemblence than that.. Maybe you'll notice someday lol. But I will agree to something. They were really young and got big and I gotta commend it to them for making it big at like what 17-18 years old..

But Nirvana is way better.

[MaderNord]

Can you hear yourself? Kurt didn't interact with the audience and didn't move?!! DIDN'T MOVE?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D my god, poor you, go and see a doctor..

[92DropDead]

@silverchairlova agree, i think daniel johns is more goos guitarist as kurt cobain, but cobain had a better voice, more angry, more painfull...

[thechaircover]

Look Your both dick heads so STFU and listen to the music

[silverchairlova]

look at the ones above

[MaderNord]

That's right, my friend, you told them what they must know;)) have an up from me:))

[MaderNord]

who sad I'm a hater, can you hear yourself ?! :D

I don't hate Silverchair, you missed my point..

[fbjetkjgkl]

So true (: He was so cute, he still is but not the same way :S

[PeaceChick07]

I love the old stuff & the new! Silverchair is just an awesome band! We all have to grow & change as our lives go forward. That includes rock bands. Gotta love these guys for the old stuff & the music they have now!

[Sarcasticunt]

I LOVE YOU SILVERCHAIR!

why did they make that new shit there playing :(

[2x4b96123]

mind reader is good.. but all across the world..... shittest song EVER!!

[Barbaricfellow]

'Crazy about "spawn".

Was looking for something similar..:(

[iloverain23]

yeaah to me silverchair and nirvana are nothing alike,

unless your compareing that there both amazing bands?

if you knew silverchair enough, you'd undertstand there nothing alike

[iloverain23]

I WAS THERE :D

[b258283178]

omg i love them so much and i a a bit of a freak myself all the cool kids say i am and i am like yer i am a freak of nature so deal with it

[thellamasrevenge2011]

enough comparisons. nirvana and silverchair are both great. but if youre going to argue about them sounding similar, could kurt cobain write or perform a song like across the night?

Enough said. they arent even the same genre, like some other guy said already.

[MaderNord]

I'm not sure about your point.. You say that song is so damn great that Kurt Cobain couldn't.... couldn't write... or.... or perform a song like that?! Are you.... are you kidding??! I don't think Kurt ever WANTED to create something like this!! good day!!

[thellamasrevenge2011]

of course he never wanted to. its about the depth. some of daniel's songs are incredibly deep and well structured. its not that kurt cobain didn't write any good songs - that depends on who you ask. but songs like the greatest view are so much more complex yet brilliant than anything kurt wrote.

but if you prefer nirvana's stuff, thats fine. its good in a totally different way.

[MaderNord]

ok, I'm not considering say anything bad about Silverchair, in the matter of fact, I like them in a certain way, but what you've said: ".......so much more complex yet brilliant than anything Kurt wrote" is just ridiculous and absurdic, don't you think??!! Have you ever listen to more than a couple of Nirvana's songs?!! I was just shocked of such statement !!

[MaderNord]

oh, I'm sorry kid, your age explains your inadequate comment...

[jakeisdead]

id rather listen to them that those kids are listening to today...

[hippypower69]

this band is a Nirvana wanabee they do'nt even compare

[Nostaligiia]

Hardly.

Let's face it, Silverchair is nothing like Nirvana. The lyrics are different, the music is different.

Sure, they may be in the same genre, but that's like comparing Slipknot with Limp Bizkit.

Peace

[CrystallineLustre]

if they don't even compare, then how can they be a wanabee? lol :P

[Honey4282]

do you have an original thought in your head

[4shaw2gether09]

im a freak of nature!!!

[kevoyhacer]

naaa tios,,,,aunque les duela, pero silver chair tiene mejor sonido instrumental que Nirvana...

[vittyesperansa]

Nessa musica ela já ta muito cansado!

kkkkkkkkkk

mais continua liiiiindo

uhuuuuu

XD

[NdannsN]

I think this is the best sound I've heard on this song live.

[davidmadruga2]

Nirvana in pajama;;ahhaaha

[zanjonalkz]

don't compare them to nirvana.. each band has their own uniquenss.. XD

[youlmakeitoutalright]

best silverchair song. period. and yes i agree nirvina is better

[2008VLG]

nirvana is better.

[delfin61087]

then go listen to nirvana!!!

[jesusitzkurt]

this is silverrchair not nirvana, listen!

[Darthqurashi]

wow love these guys, there like huge inspirations to me because they're so talented, and started so young. the vocals are amazing.

[EvenXs]

They are similar to Nirvana.

Otherwise is good song.

[SiliasKerzo]

No, he's right. They kind of remind me of Nirvana. Of course Nirvana's way better, but still.

[LacrimosaTristania]

this is a good band..

maybe because they're 3, and the singer its blonde and freak... reminds me nirvana..

nirvana its better..

but silverchair its good :)

[susysuu]

claro qe se parecen a nirvana, eran adolescentes y la banda de kurt era su modelo a seguir :), pero ahora ya tienen un sonido más propio, puesto que maduraron :)

no sé, la verdad es que amo todas las etapas de silverchair :)

[LacrimosaTristania]

estoy de acuerdo contigo :]

ademas de que daniel tiene un parecido natural a kurt.. por su cabello largo amarillo, despelucado, y su tez blanca xd..

lo que le falta es vestirse como kurt xd

igual es buena musica.. :]

fans de nirvana.. xd

[spannypumpkin]

sexiest damn lead man ever;)!

[Bunny2910]

im a bit scared about his weight..i wondered why hes so skinny. but his voice was great

[trypp88]

Maybe new to silverchair but daniel use to suffer from annorexia the song anna's song (open fire) is about his struggle with it

[suboh12]

silverchair is awesome band, young modern is a good album just different

[soundofstone92]

Sounds like it's a long belch at 3:16 more than a scream LOL!

[Honey4282]

HAHAHAH I was laughing so hard picturing it!

[WootMapler]

looks like owen wilson at the start

[korneater91]

i like this song its good, and its diffrent because of his screaming. originality even though its not the studio version. decent song would of been cool to see them

[Guitar862]

i love Silverchair! The old Daniel reminds me of Kurt Cobain of Nirvana..Love it!

[FACEomgLOL]

screaming is good. WOO HOO

[1killingjoke]

very nice.

[missastro]

This version is so slow compared to many of their other versions...

[ACDChellsbells]

I LOVE SILVERCHAIR. But I hate when Daniel tries to scream and doesn't play the ORIGINAL solo from Freak. Thats the best he Doesn't even play a solo live. And he screams which I don't like.

[krzysiu14]

If you dont like then shut up

[Ci4nyde]

the screams are the best, his voice is amazing

[duhlike]

fag

[mudchair16]

You have so much more talent becuase you called a great musician a fag on the internet! Oh my god can I have your autograph!?

[WootMapler]

you know this happens alot but, how do you know he wasnt replying to a comment? (people that put me thumbs down on this one are immature).

[mudchair16]

I don't, I'm just an inconsiderate wanker. :)

[Kerrski]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL IM BEING IMMATURE

[msto4121]

seriously ........fuck you duh

[darrellmemorando]

DANIEL IS SO SKINNY

IN THIS CONCERT

[Rocko619]

Geez, you can tell that Daniel had an eating disorder here. I am glad he started eating again. He's acually toned up nowadays.

[1300finger]

i agree!!!!!! They give every1 shit now!!!

If i ever see SilverChair playin drumbs wif their tops off or usin the guitars that they used 2 or even havin the looks off a real rockstar instead off a disco classical dude then ill be shocked what i see!!!!!!!

[ohheroine]

[musicsquid]

[leviathan440]

Your the type of people that are the reason why people die in a concert from getting crushed because your all too wild, going crazy and dont give a shit about anyone.

[FuseSqueazeLever]

Pussies...lol, have u seen them live on this tour? dick.

[want2shagdanieljohns]

[ReeJohns10]

Daniel is great at this concert!!!!!!

[stevo302]

[ben5200]

Silverchair were awsum but there new songs suck. this song rules. we need to tell silverchair to not turn into pussys

[leviathan440]

[telefukkenman]

they arent pussies daniel just cant sing the way he used to or should i say scream oh yer he was awsum now hes more mature n stuff so his themes and feelings in his songs are more complex n i guess hes a metro or sumthing

[dolynator]

Until any of you assholes have battled anorexia or cancer...or both! You can all go F!#k yourselves. If he's shit now go do something better yourself...and calm the down...don't watch if you don't like it.

[prettyslimmy]
