People keep talking about how Frogstomp copied Pearl Jam and Soundgarden (because no one else is allowed to play minor pentatonic scales in drop D) but the way the riff drives the song and Daniel's amazing voice really does set them apart as their own thing.
Rashad Choudhury I hate that, these guys did their own thing, considering they were 15 at the time of their first album. If anything these guys paved the way for bands like seether, chevelle, and breaking Benjamin. Silverchair at this time we’re in a league of their own. Daniel John’s has a voice like no other too bad they’re not together.
💯 % and Daniel Johns was/is a musical genius like no other. The comparisons annoy me as none of them compare to him. How many of them worked with David Helfgott and impressed Van Dyke Parks. Only Daniel 😻
At those ages back then... how did they even know what minor pentatonic scales was much less exploring the drop D realm...... just blows my mind how young fellas only knew what a musical instrument was less than 5 years after the age of 10...lol... very trippin'.... hell I been playing guitar since 1979... ain't nowhere near as tight as these guys 🤘
@@aisleromero9125 i started to listen grunge punk and rock music in 1995 and like all my friends of same age born in 1980 1981 we felt the sense of emptyness left by Cobain death, even if now this could seems crazy but already in second half of 90es the best part seems to be over despite there were so many good album to discover yet ... soundgarden silverchair stone temple pilots etc ..
Silverchair is more like a hybrid of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, but Silverchair's lead singer often makes facial expressions like Kurt Cobain, and also often moves like him when he plays guitar.
In a lot of ways I miss the 90s way more than today, but no mobile phones has a MASSIVE downside, very easy to lose touch with friends without a mobile back then! I lost a few and took 20 years to find them thanks to social media...lol
Believe it or not kids but we did have cell phones and internet in the 90s. Just not like today. But who cares? Dont let the fact that everyone is addicted to social media get you down bud.
Props to drummer, hardest working man in the band. Front man gets creds too, he must sing. Guitarists can stay still, they chose to move, every movement a drummer makes has purpose.
I remember in High School blasting this album and particularly this song out of my MTX box 12” that sat in the back of my 1985 late model Monte Carlo in 1995. Memories!
Im 35 now i been pissed since i was born...ripped the tube outta my throat pissed off being born premature....i say i still got a lot of "throats to choke"✌
Their new music is like a totally different world, I know. (Yet I still find all of their music addictive.) They're still alive. Sure, I like everything before Young Modern better, but if you love Silverchair at all, you support 'em no matter what. Daniel Johns' could sing the ABC's and I would listen.
@@ianmacdonald305 the one time i will agree with ur comment. Im 40 and i love filming concerts. I dont however disrupt anyones view, if i cant film it without annoying others i wont. I love watching what i filmed 6 months later
There was just something special about these kids back then. I just watched them perform pure massacre in Australia and man, they just killed it. Daniel John's voice was just so pure and awesome. I loved their Marshall amp guitar tone and how the drummer wasn't afraid of actually hitting the snare drum on frogstomp.
+Emajanashun Saw them at the 1995 BDO and they were ridiculously good - and I was 26 at the time and had seen most of the big bands that had come to Oz - just look up the first four BDOs, I was at all of them. And Silverchair stood out as being as good as any of the international acts, no shit. But you will see awesome bands yourself, this shit doesn't end! There's always someone new coming up. It just gets better : )
By far the best act post-main-big-4 of grunge. Silverchair evolved into a different version after the first 2 records; and it was amazing But a lot of people underrate how fucking solid Frogstomp and Freakshow were
If nostalgia were a texture, mine is so thick right now you could slice it. Love what Silverchair grew into, sad they are gone now, and miss the old silverchair.
I don't blame him, really. It's all about the sound. Breaking guitars up was passe about the 20th time Pete Townshend (of the 60s band the Who) did it.
@@chriscampbell9191 yeah but I think also just being a teenager with a new guitar he probably had respect for his instruments you know? Like he wasn't use to fame this could be his last guitar.
@@ArizonaLizardMan True. And also he may have become attached to that guitar. A lot of guitarists have their favorite. He probably also had figured out the extent of 'punishment' that guitar could safely take. I think he had maybe two PRS's that he used a lot during this part of their career, and this was probably one of them.
@@chriscampbell9191 Yeah he kept the same guitars all through his career even today I’m sure he still has them in his home. ‘Little ducks big dicks’, ‘girls kick ass’, ‘Animal rights!’ etc.. lol you can feel the pro in me rn
@@jules8159 I was reading an article he did a few years back where he said he has a room in his house just for his guitars. When asked how many he had he said 40...so I'm pretty sure he has every guitar we've seen him use...plus a couple dozen more.
This song above all on that first record is just way above what they should be able to write. My favorite SC song. The bassline, the main riff. the angry as fuck lyrics. Love it.
Oh, and "Diorama" & "Young Modern" are both fucking incredible. They're not only Silverchair's finest work (so far), they're two of the best pop-rock albums released in the past 10 years, and come very close to proving that Daniel Johns MIGHT be a genius (which is a word I don't throw around lightly). I like pop-rock. I also like grunge. I'm allowed to. From this vantage point, Silverchair are better at pop-rock than grunge. Way, WAY better.
I started going to concerts in 2000, just after the 1990s ended. One of my 1st concerts went to was Ozfest 2000 and Britney Spears. I wish I could have seen Britney Spears in the 1990s. I was a young adult still living with my parents.
![Silverchair - 2/8/99 - Electric Ballroom - London, UK - [New 2-Cam]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Sk1J1yFUA1c/mqdefault.jpg)
People tend to forget that they were 15 years old when they made this album and no older than 17 in this video.
Fucken mad, isn't it?! They're only a couple of years older than me.
+Sharon Masterson yes we r getting old !
Holy fuck
Literally no one forgets that fact.

They're way more dark and gritty than pearl jam and nirvana.
I was there !! great memories...
OMG ☺😍
You're a lucky man indeed
hi man! how old are u ? im 40 listening this since 1996
How lucky , i wish i was i born in that generation of yours

I don't even compare Silverchair to Nirvana, completely different band in my opinion.
Both great.

Agreed
@@TiernanSongs I think a lot of people mimic Kurt when playing guitar just without realising, I know I do sometimes
@@TiernanSongs daniel is much more energetic than kurt cobain ever was
13 years later, lol, Silverchair had talent!!
This has always been my favorite Silverchair track
💯
Those 14 year old girls going absolutely bonkers at the first bass riff is so classic, haha. Good times.
2020 anyone? ahhh no cellphones take me back to the 90s
Feckin too right, I'd go back in a flash.
Ya me too the 90’s was the best time to be alive especially when it comes to music!

15 years old, and they can do that. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!
OI OI OI!!!
Clagg DERE ... what ? what ? what ?
Australians are the one of the two most talented people on Earth and that’s just a fact

Went to bed listening to this, woke up and listened to it, was stuck in my head all day and finally am listening to it again
I remember in High School blasting this album and particularly this song out of my MTX box 12” that sat in the back of my 1985 late model Monte Carlo in 1995. Memories!
Such passion in that ‘you’re late’ damn
Also you can just feel the genius of Daniel right about here : 3:12 This harmony !!
Silverchair with their teenage angst was awesome. No one can stay angry and pissed off forever though I guess
Reece Hart I guess... you don't know me :(
@@mariu2480 Same. Unfortunately.
Unless you’re Slipknot
Angry and pissed off doesn't even come close!
Im 35 now i been pissed since i was born...ripped the tube outta my throat pissed off being born premature....i say i still got a lot of "throats to choke"✌
Damn they sounded even better live then they did on the album.
One of the best rock band of all times!
This song remind me with my brother he's 14 and I'm 16 and we're both rockin when we heard this song way back 1996
2020 and still rocking...

That guitar it's pure steel.
5:00 that girl put their hands in her heart like she is already having a heart atack
Lmao I cant stop going back now they killed her
6:28 Daniel becomes a dj
Blueskythinking LMAO
Tweaking the controls on a delay pedal. Pretty cool.
Toda vez que vejo esse live,sinto a mesma emocao 😀☺
The fact that artists and listeners are literally the same age is the weirdest thing. And they still vibe !! Music has no limit
WARNING! HIGH SOUND LEVELS

Os garotos arrebentavam.

Saw them live in 95 in Byron Bay. and loved it. I was moshing to this with about a 1000 others in the rain. Very cool scene!
Still loving this decades later
This is fucking gold...

One of the BEST!!!!
I taped this when it aired live, and watched it a million times. Freaking awesome show!!
that's some seriously epic shit there. feel sorry for the whole sell out affair...
RIP Silverchair. You're not the band I once knew and loved. I remember having this whole show on VHS tape as a kid. Awesome!
Best band ever! I love you,Silverchair!
I know!! I was 16 when this originally aired and now that I'm almost 30 it was nice to feel 16 again!
Now you must be almost 40 and I'm 28
Damn I need a time machine..
Recently dug up my old Frogstomp CD my dad gave me in 3rd grade.
Same here. They were in town to play the International Center on Airport Rd. the next day. It was an amazing live show.
This even FEELS loud!
Takes me back to 1995. So much amazing music was coming out from all genres. Great times.
FANTASTIC!!!
Breathtaking.
what a finish!! somehow i feel 15 again..
Friggin amazing!
Amazing
Still sounds fu@#$ing amazing ❤
Perfect song!!!!
Israel's son é foda
Amazing!
Love the free jazz outro.
What a badass version
I'm rehearsing thus song tomorrow. So excited
MY TEEN IDOL BACK IN HIGHSCHOOL.(1995) 🤘
My fav band of all time....
So good live
Fuck me I grew up in the best times aye ......38 now ....
Best live show EVER at muchmusic
Great band
This rocks beeatch!

From 2:58-3:14 you know those girls were about to have a heart attack 😍
Why oh why did they not keep going down the heavy grungy thrathy path? Who knows what incredible heights they could have achieved....
Frogstomp = Pearl Jam music + Nirvana attitude
im playing this at my school's talent show tomorrow i hope i kick this much ass lol.
10 years later how'd ya do?
When i'm riding my Downhill Bike i always listen this music on the huge jumps of the cliff.
FUCKIN AWESOME!
Kickass riff
Awesome video!
good times

From this vantage point, Silverchair are better at pop-rock than grunge. Way, WAY better.
Totally agree! I was never much of a Powderfinger fan but it's one of their best albums :)
And Pete Townshend was probably like, "Glad my kids didn't take after me!"
Hate is what i feel for you and i want you to know that i want you dead - Silverchair awsome song one of my favorite songs by them next to tommarow
