Silverchair - Pure Massacre (Live France 1997)

[heatherdumas]

The festival  is called EuROCKeennes. That is awesome!

[heatherdumas]

2:00 that GROWL! Mmm, sexy.

[hansoniketayzac]

Live in France...I live in France but i was 3 years old in 1997...I'm so sad ! :(

[TheWinLlen]

Nirvana influence.

[TangoLima1202]

Good music! Lame crowd!

[turttleboy86]

i feel so bad for silverchair every early performance I've seen so far, the crowd is like a sea of zombies and not in to the music.maybe it just me..

[theladieschains2]

every video of silverchairs all anyone talks about is his hair cause anyone who watches this knows he looks cool and prolly could of had every chick in the audience

[theladieschains2]

hey why did u remove my comment? silverchairs one of my favorite bands ever im sure i didnt say anything bad

[TheSofybutterfly]

how cute he was!! so good as musician!

[MarcGTA4]

OMG! Anorexic Daniel :(

[jane19gig]

he's so cute.. i like how dances :3

[ChainChomp122]

jesus christ. skinny much. must be when he started becoming anorexic

[KurdtKobain09]

Ben actually looks really uncomfortable behind that kit...

[Praktical]

@KurdtKobain09 I'd fucking shit myself in front of a crowd that big!

[KurdtKobain09]

@Praktical no i meant uncomfortable as in straining to play. As if the kit is too big for him or something.

[ScottGarrettDrums]

@KurdtKobain09 Just looks like he's playing overly hard, to me.

[theladieschains2]

@ScottGarrettDrums whats wrong with being into the song and getting the audience pumped

[ScottGarrettDrums]

@theladieschains2 You should be into the song and getting the audience pumped. However, there's a volume limit on acoustic drums and playing past that point is a waste of energy that damages equipment and actually makes your instruments sound worse. But, being a professional drummer and having played for 22 years might not have taught me enough to contend with YouTube authorities. :)

[theladieschains2]

@ScottGarrettDrums screw their equipment their millionare rock stars i think they can get new shit everyday if they needed to, they are just a band whos real emotiional and get into the music they write and thats evident of how daniel head bangs his ass off and the whole crowd responds by moshing their asses off. music is a release of feelings and energy and a band who does that is doing their job live, gets me pumped id rather them break their gear then just stand their like pussies

[theladieschains2]

@ScottGarrettDrums also silverchair got very offended about how everyone was calling them nirvana rip offs and it pissed them off big time cause their guitars and sound is heavier then nirvana so the constant comparing and being asked in interviews the same question pissed them off even more making their live performances even better

[lenief]

♥ how he *dances* here

[griffintook02]

i agree with warmoth daniel nowadays just seems lost around the music all he needs is get back to basics again GRUNGE NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!

[runnersdialzero33]

@griffintook02 Grunge is dead. This derivative crap died with it, thank God, and Daniel was then able to write truly brilliant, timeless music.

[doacarnage]

@runnersdialzero33 Grunge may have died, but the people who still enjoy it are alive and well

[runnersdialzero33]

BLUE MASTERCARD, BLUE MASTERCAAAAAAARD

[runnersdialzero33]

New stuff >>>>>>>>>>> older stuff. Although the old stuff is still really good. Diorama can't be beaten, though.

[anhtuan962]

People Suck !

[TheBadAssKiller]

Short hair on rock musicians absolutely SUCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Part of going to a live show is to see people who are different than the average JOE on the street and to see all the walls of speakers... but DUMB shit musicians are all copying each other like the freakin MONKEYS they are and cutting their hair and down-sizing their gear.

Oh... but it's all about the music they say... FUCK THEM!!! I'll stay home and listen to my cd's and save my money!!

[runnersdialzero33]

@TheBadAssKiller So hair makes great music. Alright, then.

[Pinstripedtie]

@runnersdialzero33 What a MORON!!

[runnersdialzero33]

@Pinstripedtie And why'sat?

[Pinstripedtie]

@runnersdialzero33 Dude... you don't get the point. You might as well quit while you're ahead! Ahead of WHAT... I don't know... hahahaha....

[runnersdialzero33]

@Pinstripedtie Oh, fuck off. I don't even know which post you responded to. I'll assume the message about how their newer stuff is so much better. Sorry, give me orchestras, brilliant/unique songwriting with otherworldly production, great vocals and performances over extremely derivative post-grunge played by teens who just discovered distortion pedals.

[Pinstripedtie]

@runnersdialzero33 All I can say for you PAL... is you are a god dammed MORON!!!

PERIOD. DONE.

[runnersdialzero33]

@Pinstripedtie Ahahaha, you're 51? I seriously thought I was dealing with a kid, here. Damn, man :| homophobic remarks, illegal immigrant hysteria, etc. etc. etc. and a gun nut to a seemingly excessive extent. You're a man's man.

[PJsthehobo]

i like his hair like that. his hair was too long before

[igorokumura]

why they cut their hairs? i cant understand...

[rockzmetal93]

a great band...my favorite band..imagine 1 person play lead,rythm and vocals..its fucking great...

[kurtgerald23]

Death is all around..People Crying for Freedom...no one hear the sound...Pure Massacre!!!

[rayito2005]

he's so cute in this vid.

[crankycactus]

he sounds like a younger gavin rossdale... quite good live...

[LearnSongs]

Well if u listen to Silverchairs - Lie To Me and then listen to Nirvana's - Tourette's, u can hear that they are almost the same...

[GrungeRocker1000]

this dosent really sound like nirvana.

[TheLeutrimExperience]

@GrungeRocker1000 It doesn't. Regardless, both bands WERE amazing.

[dummytree]

It's actually 97, as in NINETY SEVEN.

Early july.Saw them a few days prior in Paris.

[shelibeli40]

"People Suck" lol I say that on a daily basis.

[mnqcmrlm]

i love silverchair.

[BLueEyeButterfly]

merciiiiii. lol

[BLueEyeButterfly]

'PEOPLE SUCK'

but YOU rock =]

[sheinsherman]

Never seen this before x)

[gieboy00]

daniel johns is thin already here

but this song fuckin rules and kicks some massive ass!

[francesdfarmer]

fuck they sounded like nirvana and play too bad they can't keep up

[yootesa1515]

sound no, try to look like, yes. but they are pretty good !

[Hoestvind]

I wonder where daniel takes all his energy from, normally you're really wek and powerless when havin anorexia but he's moving and jumping around like a healthy person even though he's soo skinny.

[zzsharka]

Adrenarline from the screaming crowd probably.

[strokebomb101]

i love this band since frogstomp and i like diorama alot specially the song low

[dreadbet]

low?

diorama?

[joshsilverchair]

yeah i was born in 1995 so i didn't really grow up with them and im australian im a big fan on frogstomp and freakshow but the rest i just think is stupid and soft

[galleria95]

"but the rest i just think is stupid and soft"

So you're not "a big fan"...

[razzo3456]

he said he's a big fan of frogstomp and freakshow...

[14ed14ed]

You think that "Neon Ballroom" sounds stupid ?? ...

[Foo3112]

or maybe your just really young and immature and have expanded yet in different musical taste.

[0371998]

1993 until 1999 best years In mY life!! and i have 24 years old!!.

90 's was SO RICH!!!! this teeen generation IS SO smart! and They kick the ass !! this 2009 dayS Suck ! But i think its because every teen look the 90's and they are full of satisfaction With ! !ENdless NAmeless satisfaction!

[0371998]

band from 90's still good 2d yeah!

[valrios86]

simply swesome

[galleria95]

I as seven years old and I missed that.

Definitely, I was born too late...

[notthatbasic]

That was a great performance. It's amazing considering his situation at the time.

[WarmothGuitarist]

Daniel needs to grow his balls again, and go back to playing PRS guitars. God damn his tone was fucking incredible.

[DevilDiablo13]

@WarmothGuitarist - Agreed! -

[Pulsed101]

@WarmothGuitarist Amen to that, they 'were' fucking awesome!

[TearsForLosers]

hahah his guitar says "People Suck" haha I agree!

[TearsForLosers]

SILVERCHAIR!!!! <3 I wish they could stay like that forever..oh well, they are still the greatest!

[PeaceChick07]

[noiseadicted]

jajaja ahi tiene el corte de pelo que usaba kurt cobain

[14ed14ed]

1:56/2:00 emotional :D

[funsized410]

it's kind of sad to see how skinny daniel is there, knowing all that he's going through at that point in time

such a good performance, thanks for uploading!

[soniasonia]

yeah ik. its also sad knowing he did it b/c he felt he had to make himself look sick so people would stop beating him up

[jacobmal]

yeah, and this proves how fucked up some people are, they abused him because of jealousy, as he looked differently and really beautiful for a boy...

[TearsForLosers]

Yea. fuck society!

[soniasonia]

haha look at Chris's face at 2:30-2:32

He's like "wtf?" lol

[realpussycat]

[servetheservants94]

i think frogstomp -neon ballroom and maby alittle bite of diorama form 1994-2003 awesome

[1killingjoke]

[ayazyam]

Neon Ballroom is best era by far

[Shanno45]

i like what it said on his gurtair people suck

[pinkpele]

Holy shit, I haven't seen this since it aired on tv oh so long ago. I am so glad this is posted, I had it recorded on VHS and I would rewind the part where it gets a little quiet and he sings "People crying for freedom, no one hears the sound" it drove me crazy how incredibly foxy he looks there!!! He is the sexiest man that ever lived, hands down!!!

[chairlover721]

agreed. he is. you're right.

[SmellingDeadRoses]

All the way! Hottest man alive!

[grizzlymuff]
