Silverchair is more than deserving than any other band that is in the running to open the remaining dates. If u saw lollapalooza last summer u know that i know what im talking about. Silverchair is the most underrated band of the last ten years by far. i challenge u to listen to Young Modern once and tell me its not genious. G00d day fellow!!!!

challenge accepted. ive listened to it alot. ive seen them plenty of times. but daniel tries to do too much these days. his arrangements are far too complicated in the studio.
and its not silverchair these days... it's daniel and band (with paul mac the ring in). they hate playing any of their old music which i find a real shame, cos thats the music that got me into them 14 yrs ago... i havent let go of them just yet, but they are hanging on by a therad in my eyes (and ears).
good day to you, sir!Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.0 -
young modern sucks
their worse album so far, and they are locals. I had seen them quite a few times before they ever got a record deal.
good kids then.. now well as said before daniel trys to much these daysAUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE0 -
I try to live by the rule, that if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say anything.
So I'll say; Silverchair was a fantastic band 13 years ago......Roskilde 30-06-00
Berlin 23-09-06
Copenhagen 26-06-07

I agree.
Watching Daniel Johns perform is cringeworthy. Silverchair would never open for Pearl Jam because Daniel Johns' ego wouldn't allow it0 -
give me frog stomp or freak show anyday, but none of this pissy young modern or neon ballroom crap!
daniel johns sounds so good when he sings angry!2003 - Sydney x3,2006 - Reading Festival,2007 - Katowice, London, Nijmegen, Rock Werchter,2008 - MSG x2, Hartford, Mansfield x2, Beacon Theater,2009 - Melbourne, Sydney,2010 - I watched it go to fire!2011 - EV Brisbane x3, Newcastle, Sydney x3,2012 - Manchester x 2, Amsterdam x2, Prague, Berlin x2, Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen,2014 - Sydney, EV Sydney x3
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!0 -
Young modern is ok, but not a patch on the first three records.....
It is indeed a huge shame they will recognise frogstomp anymore
Saw them last year in Manchester and Daniel started the chords to tomorow sang the first few lines and then broke off saying only joking, as if 'thats a shit song we dont play anymore',......the crowd was mad for it too and he fucking well knew it....
daft twat if you ask me.0 -

you must be getting confused with neon ballroom and diorama (which is when the ego mania kicked in for the worse).
NB is a great album. it is when daniel started experimenting with stuff other than dropped D tuning. emotion sickness is such a good track with david helfgott on piano. black tangled heart, anthem, miss you love, dearest helpless, paint pastel are all good.. spawn again is the only shit song on it.
and they play none of the above except ES these days. they were getting booed at the big day out festivals this yr. but being on the same stage ratm and playing before them probably didnt help...Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.0 -
silverchair fuckin sucks

I definitely respect them for growing as a band. I just think all of their records stink. What a BLAH band."I don't believe in PJ fans but I believe there is something, not too sure what." - Thoughts_Arrive0

So why be satisfied?0 -

They played generic manufactured grunge back in the day...that's what they will always be remembered for...
They made a living out of imitating Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam...Poorly mind you!
They then want to act all 'experimental' and 'were too good to play our old stuff'. It's kinda like Bush, Everclear or some other lame ass band claiming to reinvent themselves when they only became famous because they were a cover band in the first place!

thank you, finally someone making sense in this thread.
diorama is a tremendous album that is far superior than the likes of riot act and avocado. crushes those two albums, no competition.
young modern is good, some powerful tracks but a few boners as well.
if you haven't listened to these two albums, give them a spin (and if you have, give them another spin)... silverchair is a far cry from the 16 year old, mass manufactured grunge sounding band they were in the 90's.
but i agree, for them to open for PJ is a little silly.0 -
I would prob go in late.Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.
no more shows0
