For all of you talking shit about "the crowd", I was in the crowd. This was a live TV show that aired on Mush Music, not a concert. Therefore, we had the Much Music trying to make sure that nothing got out of control. In between each song they would reiterate that there is no moshing allowed. People that got too rowdy were kicked out.
The high pitched screaming has got to be the worst thing to hear when your trying to start a song. I don't get why idiot girlz can't just enjoy the music without shouting at the band. I love Dan, Chris, Ben and don't want to annoy the shit out of them. This song is epic :D
geeze that crowd fuckin sucks its nothin but fuckin emo fags that aren't worthy of the music thats being played in front of them. they don't even know it but its the best silverchair concert that the world will ever know and it was wasted on those fuckin geeks.
been, watchin heaps of their old concerts... love this style of silverchair... theyre doin a new album now apparently so i hope they go back to at least some form of rock... i didnt mind diorama even though its a bit softer but i cant get into young modern at all no matter how hard i try.. please, please go back to some form of rock....
Its not that they are not good, but if you look at Daniel's influences, he had loads of different musical influences, and with the years, just for the fact that he grows, he changes his music and it is normal, some people like it more now, some people (and more likely the younger ones) prefer what he used to do... its just life...
Yeah i prefare the older stuff alot more, they have turned pretty much into pop rock now, its a shame there really is no good grunge bands goin on now adays
Seriously, teNdcfilms? Do you have any idea what Daniel was going through at this point in his life?? How about anorexia, isolation, loneliness, shyness, feeling like an outcast...?
And being famous made him even more of an outcast at his school, causing him to get beat up constantly, to the point of where he starved himself just so the bullies would feel sorry for him and leave him alone.
nobody really knows anything about that*anorexia* until they go through it themselves. At least now most good doctors recognize males can get it as well . too bad the treatments are terrible. force feeding until your a healthy weight and then releasing you does nothing. you gotta treat the root. of the problem
it has nothing to do with age icanflyetc. the new music they make is boring, soft, slow, and seemingly FAKE. the old music had more passion, and was more fun, hard, and entertaining. how can you like this, and still like that new garbage. the new music is like techno-pop, this was alternative/post-punk/hard rock, and i'll take rock over pop or techno any day, sorry!
@Meldasue-I love REM (2nd fave band)too and alot of the stuff from the 80's,very versitile then but alot of the best stuff (Nirvana(my fave band) ect) started in the 80's that dominated the 90's (Radiohead)...dominated in terms of originality,who cares about mainstream? It is rare anyways that the mainstream caters to soul,depth,creativity or relevancy. Grunge is just the same as any other label before it-a way for corporations to dupe ppl into an image to buy some clothes and "fit in" too.Viva
point is Silverchair were fucking awesome 1994-2003 2006+ they are still good across the great divide without you listen he still has it and he knows it but they just got swept up in the pop mainstream i mean the world is ruled now by this rihanna, katy perry, lady gaga, justin timberlake crap and hip hop, i guess people besides us dont want to see hard rock anymore unless it's some punk ass crap ya'll get what im saying
Yeah they were more successful but do you remember the amount of critisizm they use to get? People not taking them seriously. I think people more respect them for this era now that they have changed then they did back then... you cant blame them for changeing... I loved their music then and I love their music now :)
I think it's more that music itself has changed. I was sick to death of grunge in the 90s because that's all you heard. It's easier now to look back at a Daniel Johns or Layne Staley and separate the talent from all the Seattle carbon copies.
Heh - but grunge came along at the same time Clear Channel ::spits:: started to buy up all the radio stations. It wasn't the bands' fault - the last thing they wanted to be was the new 'pop' - but that's what they became. To me, the great rock era was the 80s, when MTV actually played videos and people were exposed to a lot of different sounds. College radio played some awesome stuff - REM, The Replacements, 10,000 Maniacs - and none of them sounded like anyone else.
they were more successful on american charts with their grunge music (frogstomp and freak show) then their stuff since neon ballroom....Daniel went weird :(

In general I like their post-NB stuff more; it's much more inventive and there's so much more depth to the music.
But this song is just so fucking cool. I think that this, Freak, Roses and Petrol & Chlorine are the best songs on Freak Show :)
