    oz Jammer, glad you enjoyed their set. You can definitely tell the band is having a good time on stage. I have that DVD and the first time I watched it, I thought it was weird so many people were sitting down. I really wish I could have seen them during the Diorama tour, too bad about Daniel getting so sick. :(

    I like "Mind Reader" also and even more so live.

    Lars, you original statement was that since no new Silverchair was on the radio, that it must suck. I replied to that with, just because a song makes the radio doesnt mean it's good. From there you said the Frogstomp songs made the radio, does that make them bad---to which I said no.

    Beyond your logic of a 12 year old, it is safe to say that you have no idea what the hell you are saying. Explain to me why the new Silverchair album sucks. Is it because they aren't on the radio or you don't have the attention span to listen to an arty record without drop-d tuning and heavy distortion?

    i think you're arguing backwards with him. our point is that lack of radio play does not mean a band or their music is bad. going by that marker, pearl jam has sucked for a long time and last kiss is a better song than leash.

    did you order the faraway stables from circuit city or am i thinking of someone else? im thinking of returning it since i already have an audio copy. i was going to order the dvd from their website... but im concerned that since it's coming from australia it won't play in my dvd player. anyone know about this?

    Cant stand Straight Lines.......sounds like some boring/safe mix radio shit.

    yeah, it's about as bland as 'i am mine' in terms of a huge anthemic chorus. but the rest of the album is genius. and hearing it in context makes it sound quite a bit better.

    Its not worth arguing with him anymore. All I ended up getting confused beyond my own belief.

    I did order (what I thought to be DVD) from circuit city, but they send me the cd version. If you see the DVD anywhere please let me know.

    Both reasons. The new silverchair aint any good or else it would have had some sort of airplay. Silverchair should change their sound in a dropped-d tuning with extremely heavy distortion to enhance their sound.

    Pearl Jam don´t need airplay to prove their success, silverchair do. Period!

    LARS - I work in the RADIO business, site is at http://www.wcyt.org by the way, check out our top 20.

    Also, go here http://w2.mediabase.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/Charts.asp?format=r3M and look for Silverchair. THIS IS BASED OFF OF EVERY ALTERNATIVE ROCK STATIONS PLAYLIST...SO IT APPEARS TO BE GETTING SOME AIRPLAY.

    Just so you know, this is the highest Silverchair has been in the USA since the release of "Ana's Song (OPEN FIRE)" in 1999.

    WHAT NOW?

    So I guess the millions and millions of albums sold overseas don't mean anything?

    For years, Silverchair was my favorite band I had never seen live. Now that I have seen them twice, they are my favorite band that I badly want to see again........and again.

    Ten got alot of airplay both radio and videowise and it was probably also their best record. With this record they put themselves in a situation where they didnt need radio airplay to prove themselves. Silverchair on the other hand never had same sort of radio exposure (only a couple of frogstomp tunes) but they certainly have a lot to prove radio and videowise. They´ve never been in a situation where they could say no to videos like PJ did.

    seriously, just stop talking. youre obviously clueless about music and allow MTV and clearchannel to determine what it is good music, which basically tells us that you dont have a mind of your own.
