silverchair, The Early Years

[1996Jacqui]

whats with ben always crossing his eyes LOL

[GrubcoMedia]

@1996Jacqui They all did the cross-eyed thing in the early days. I've got pics all of them doing it. I guess it was part of their anti-media/publicity phase that they went through.

[MrGluey666]

Yay! I was a memeber of the Llama Appreciation Society, lol!

They are still cool ! I must of been the biggest fan, still got memorabilia of the oldies times.

[AnEternalEnigma]

I remember when they first hit the scene in 1995. They were often called "Nirvana in Pajamas".

[zzsharka]

and Nirvana coppied the Pixies (Kurt said he wanted to sound like the Pixies) but the lead singer of Pixies looked like a fat geek so people didn't pay as much attention to them at least in America anyway.

[elfpapa]

they are SO hot!

[WhatTheMuffin13]

heyy, if you still have these pictures, can you send some to me? because the website didn't work obviously and ive been looking everywhere for pictures from their early yearss. :)

[Silverchairbabe]

1.30 they all look hott in this one omg Daniel has killer looks 2.15 and 2.17 lol i just love these guys <3 ; )

[zekethehillbilly]

check out the smalls, theyre a grunge band from 1991 or so to about 2000. They are very underground, and from Taber/ Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They have some very diverse material, from "To Each A Zone" which is mostly grunge, to "My Dear Little Angle" which is analogous to silverchair's Diorama, in that it has a lot of musical diversity. The shitty thing is that its very hard to find their music, so unless you live in canada, you'll have a hard time.

1:34 is hot :D

[CUTEGURL1000]

If you get their two disc "The Best Of Vol.1" there is a version of madman with lyrics on the second disc. It's not on Frogstomp though.

[CUTEGURL1000]

It's still good like this but why do they perform madman without the lyrics?

[GrubcoMedia]

I thought it never had lyrics.

[FretNinja]

lol it doesn't, obviously its instrumental..

[haffira]

those good ol days. lol.

[xnikkinoirx]

Wow.

I remember most of those pictures on my wall when i was about 12. Nice memories :)

[notthatbasic]

God, they were so young! Being fourteen is a weird enough experience, I can't imagine being fourteen and playing in front thousands of people.

[JackSManley]

Someone please tell me the song playing in the background! pleeeeaase!

[danybr1]

[HairsprayQueen666]

[melynqn]

14ed14ed fuck you!

silverchair is the best!

[jpols4]

Dude, couldn't agree anymore!!

[14ed14ed]

No, Silverchair WAS the best..

A Early year Silverchair fan was a grunge metal boy/girl, the new fan is a fan of Artic Monkeys, Coldplay etc.. just fuckin happy pop commercial !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[14ed14ed]

Best era, now they' re bullshit pop

[silverchair420]

Fuck you. They are not bullshit. They are fucking AMAZING. The new stuff rocks.

[14ed14ed]

It' s like Muse plays Hip Hop songs..

[TheEvilMeow]

i have to admit, as much as i like them in the earlier album, the new one is such a dissapointment.

it's just completely a different style, which some people like, but i clearly dont.

[jennie71379]

clearly

[dramaqueen576]

nah, tobin finnane had to move to england, so that's why he had to quit.

[eatingcandy]

[Jdawgz12]

thats a great video! theres even a pic in there from my first silverchair concert in nyc back in 1997.. amazing! greattt job

[chairlover721]

hehe so cute

[TheLever86]

good tribute to a great band (the greatest from 90's to these days for me). But there are more pictures you missed, the ones of the "innocent criminals" era, when there was another guy.

Bud good job anyway.

[GrubcoMedia]

Yeah, I have 2 of those pics, both black and white. Sorry I forgot about them. The guys sure look very young there.

Wasn't the 4th guy made to quit by his mum cos she thought it was a waste of time, or something?

[shrawn]

Aw They were sooooooooo effing cute!!

Nice video, such adorable pics!

and no, the 4th guy left because he moved to England or something!

[iSmokePotAndEatAcid]
