Yes. Please check out how they evolved. These guys are legends. They’re quite diverse with heavy hard rock songs, grunge songs, slower emotional experimental pieces with string orchesta etc. Like they started with melodic grunge and evolved into art.
"Were they famous?" Um, this was THE most played song on American radio in 1995 and won best single that year or whatever. They were on MTV every 45 minutes. And the actual retail studio version is so good it's actually much more impressive than Nirvana. Truly, I'm not even saying that to be contrarian. Nirvana couldn't do that at 15. Which btw the song was first recorded at 13! Then for Australia at 14 then MTV in the US at 15 for the last music video. This was right after he turned 16, I believe. He quit this song around 2000 because I believe he got tired of it and that glissando vibrato thing at the end of the second verse bugged him. He had jaw issues from some kind of eating disorder and weird stuff like that going on.
Yeah he had locked jaw. Neurologically the jaw is linked to digestion and he had also experienced a type of arthritis which was temporary, so stuff like that can happen at times. Had to move it a bit to manage it.
I remember hearing Freak off the Freakshow album, I was 13 yrs old. I was instantly hooked. I was boy crazy! The lead singer was just the cutest boy I'd ever seen on MTV. Lol
When it comes to silverchair you’re going to have so much fun when you get to neon ballroom/ diorama era, so much orchestral and and powerful songs from those two albums in particular but all the albums I think are enjoyable
As a young band they definitely wore their influences on their sleeves, but as they matured their sound definitely evolved. The Neon Ballroom album is a fantastic mix of grungey hard rock and quite progressive, poppy, Beatles-esque sounds. Ana's Song is a crowning glory. At first listen it's a melancholic love song, but it actually details Daniel Johns (vocalist/guitarist) battle with anorexia
The most amazing thing is, that they wrote this song, and entered it in a radio competition which they won and got to record their song and have it played on the radio. Few months later they were touring and playing live. Need to listen some of there other songs since this was literally the first song they ever wrote and recorded.
Yassssss! Love the Chair!! Pure 90’s grunge all the way from the land down under! Anyone who says they tried to copy or ‘rip off’ Nirvana or Pearl Jam etc are just plain crazy.....yeah there’s definitely influences BUT they continued to evolve so much, it’s like they ‘once’ were kinda like those bands, but only for a minute. The progression of their sound throughout their discography proves their natural musicality, non pretentious talent and genuine songwriting skills..... still criminally underrated but Silverchair will ALWAYS be my first musical love. 🇦🇺💯🔥
Cleaning out the shed indeed. Feeling my age with this one; this was in HEAVY rotation during my high school years (GASP). The song and the album still hold up. Thanks for the blast from the past!
It’s really amazing to see their evolution. I think the best way to describe it is that they started our very simple, but became very musically sophisticated. I’m so proud of them.
Another of my favorite bands, Frogstomp is a masterpiece for the time and age. You should check the album "Neon Ballroom" I think you will appreciate it a bit more. Once again thank you for all of the work you've been doing, love your channel, great vidz, a very good musician with a wicked personality, keep up the good work shedman. Now... Please check KARNIVOOL! 😁
I'm surprised that I have never heard of them before however they seem to have a real sense of music for their age. Definitely the grunge era coming through. Good choice!
The most complete reaction 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Listen More they have a lot of músic Across the night Is a good example of how they evolve. Great job Bro 🙌 Hello from Chile 🇨🇱
The guys in this band were 15 when they made it big on the back of this song if my memory serves me. They are legendary in Australia but I don't think they found much fame in the states after this song. (if any of that is incorrect I blame being 5 years old when this all happened)
Pure Massacre, Israel’s Son were also hits there. I think their popularity decreased because their record company released Abuse Me as the first single off their 2nd album (probably wanted more radio airplay but big mistake) which most young people couldn’t relate to and sounded kinda gay before gay was accepted. While in Australia and several other countries they released Freak first instead.
Ben Gillies is a very heavy hitting drummer, and he also taught Chris to play guitar, so Ben is no slouch with other instruments.... he has also released new music in the last 6 months
It's funny you're making honest sonic and visual comparisons to Nirvana, it's a comparison that haunted them for their first year, and the comparison was often made with condescension. They really came into their own in their subsequent albums, reeling in many diehard fans. In a recent episode of the Silverchair retrospective podcast Too Much of Not Enough, their long time collaborator, producer Nick Launay, was quite positive about doing another rock record with at least Daniel. Oh man, I hope it happens!
I’ve spent a collective million hours in Tower Records in The Village in NYC!! Best store ever!! First, Silverchair are not technically still a band but they have a body of work that is OUTSTANDING! Listen to Tuna In The Brine. Ughhhh, so freaking good!! Daniel Johns the front man is the magic here. This performance was the opening act at the Grammy’s that year, I think…pretty sure. I love it when you review my favorite bands! Wish I’d found this review sooner. These guys were/are so famous I can’t believe you missed them. Dude!!
Oh…also, there was a Wiz on the corner of 14th and Union Square park in the late 80s -early 90s as I recall. I lived on 12th and University and would walk passed the park to get to my job on 15th and 5th everyday.
I soooo need some of The Pretty Reckless. Esp "25". I mean "Death by Rock n Roll" and their first albums are iconic, but 25 is a perfect combination of all things.
Daniel Johns is a incredible musician!! They came from Newcastle, Australia and got influenced by time. Their references was limited. Listen to their album Diorama or the dissociatives...
you really need to check out his song emotion sickness, and he also did a stripped back experimental cover off smells like teen spirit, please do a review on these, his voice is out of this world these days, and unrecogniseable from back here
Aw man, this takes me back. The first time I heard this song I legit thought, “oh, Nirvana got themselves another lead singer to replace Kurt? That’s weird.” Sadly, I think the boys are in “reunion tours only” mode these days, mostly due to the Daniel Johns’ health issues. If you want an idea of how far Silverchair evolved from these early grunge days, I would recommend listening to one of their last releases, “Straight Lines”.
For some reason the algorithm gave me this today. I looked up your other videos and saw you had no further Silverchair reactions. Oh are you in for a treat. Hope you get this comment. Daniel Johns, the singer/guitarist, is a bona fide musical prodigy. He once wrote nearly an entire album on piano (Diorama). So what you ask? Lots of people do that. But he did it, writing some of the most complex, Beatles on a good day, melodies and arrangements in pop music, literally as he was teaching himself how to play the instrument. He has moved from somewhat generic, if a little quirky, rock, to heavy orchestration, baroque, operatic, electronic, ambient, R&B/soul and is pretty much equally adept in all these genres. Standout tracks include (in more or less chronological order) Silverchair: Israel’s Son Pure Massacre Freak Abuse Me (featuring a nailed in one take backwards guitar solo) Petrol and Chlorine Emotion Sickness (live at São Paulo preferred) Ana’s Song (listen to the contrast between live versions in the early 2000s and the Young Modern tour) Steam Will Rise Across the Night Tuna in the Brine (mind-blowing orchestral pop rock featuring Van Dyke Parks, who notably worked with Brian Wilson/the Beach Boys) After All These Years (beautiful piano ballad composed shortly after learning how to play piano) The Dissociatives: Horror with Eyeballs Young Man, Old Man Forever and a Day Back to Silverchair: Straight Lines Those Thieving Birds/Strange Behavior Mind Reader All Across the World (IMO one of their best tracks and so underrated, another Van Dyke Parks collar) Daniel Johns solo: Preach Late Night Drive New York Imagination Reclaim Your Heart Mansions I Feel Electric Emergency Calls Only (another Van Dyke Parks collab) FreakNever (a broken mirror reflection of Silverchair’s original Freak, 20+ years later - it’s one of the creepiest/heartbreaking things you’ll ever hear) When We Take Over
You have to check out their evolution. They changed styles several times throughout their career. The album Diorama is with a symphony behind them and has some AMAZING songs.
When i first heard Silverchair I thought very Helmet influenced not Nirvana. The Nirvana comparison is purely Johns hair. Fantastic band & so impressive that these songs were written by 13-14yr old kids.
My brother is a drummer and a pianist. I once told him he's like a doctor. He understands the fundamentals of music, but lacks the understanding of the effect it has on people. The magic of it. The feeling of it.
As of January 2018, the group have sold 9 million albums worldwide. At the annual ARIA Music Awards, Silverchair holds the record for the most nominated artist, with 49, and the most awards won, with 21.
Tomorrow is to Silverchair what the song Creep is to Radiohead - An early song they wrote when they were young, that's decent enough but nowhere near what they achieved later. Their latter album Diorama is on a whole other level.
They are on indefinite hiatus for some years. They are all doing other music projects. Daniel has an EDM outfit with the lead singer of Empire of the Sun, and has been composing/Music Directing for TV, Film etc
Check out Ana's Song by them. Good ballady type of song. PS- Silver Chair won a contest in Australia when they were like 13 or 14 that led to them becoming big but I think it would have probably happened anyway just maybe not as soon.
@@jlandino1002 - My mistake, it's Ben Gillies that just came out with new music. Silverchair themselves haven't put anything out for a while and doesn't look they are currently making any new music together.
Haven't been together for over 10 years. Stopped in 2010 when recording the 6th album. Yes they have just moved their full album catalog to Sony music but doesn't mean they'll release anything else.
They did look a lot like Nirvana and sounded like Pearl Jam when they first started that's probably what help propulse them, but that also sort of became a curse with time as they had a really hard time getting away from that sound and image as they evolved. On their first two albums, it was full of teenage angst and you could tell that they were playing music similar to the one they listened to as an outlet for that angst. Passed that however, they evolved with each album sounding very different and pushing creativity. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 2011 after almost a 20-year run. Daniel Johns still does solo work and collaborations but in completely different genres: R&B, Musical, electronica etc. Everyone judged them for being Nirvana copycat but I think most people missed the fact that they were only 14-15 and that they had a little musical genius in the making right in front of their eyes.
you should check out daniel johns new futurenever album to see if he continued to sound like nirvana or pearl jam - his musical evolution is one of my favourite things about his music
Very talented young men, and seriously brave to do that live. And yeah, could clearly hear the influences from both Nirvana and Pearl Jam in it. Think I will check out what they sound like now. Saw in the comments that they are still a band so that will be interesting.
Frogstomp is an absolutely killer album and will always be one of my favourite records to listen to
Agreed. It's a start to finish listen every time
I really liked frogstop better than that nirvana album. The popular one. What's it called? Nevermind.
It really is still an awesome album
Daniel was a better guitar player than Kurt Cobain even in his teenage years.
Chances are Daniel wouldn’t have even heard that type of music if it weren’t for Kurt. And everyone has there own style, love em both tho
How about you could say they were just themselves.
Both geniuses, I personally enjoy Daniels playing more but both equally great.
@@GraysonMullen24 he said he wasn’t into nirvana, so I believe kurt cobain had little if no influence on his guitar playing
@@sexopimbada that's gotta be a damn lie
.. I don't believe that in the slightest lmao. This band was a damn near exact copy of nirvana
Yes. Please check out how they evolved. These guys are legends. They’re quite diverse with heavy hard rock songs, grunge songs, slower emotional experimental pieces with string orchesta etc. Like they started with melodic grunge and evolved into art.
If a band ever evolved, it was Silverchair. I truly love their progression.
I honestly think that Diorama is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever.
The band has been more successful than us
"Were they famous?"
Um, this was THE most played song on American radio in 1995 and won best single that year or whatever. They were on MTV every 45 minutes. And the actual retail studio version is so good it's actually much more impressive than Nirvana. Truly, I'm not even saying that to be contrarian. Nirvana couldn't do that at 15.
Which btw the song was first recorded at 13! Then for Australia at 14 then MTV in the US at 15 for the last music video. This was right after he turned 16, I believe. He quit this song around 2000 because I believe he got tired of it and that glissando vibrato thing at the end of the second verse bugged him. He had jaw issues from some kind of eating disorder and weird stuff like that going on.
Silverchair Live ruclips.net/video/50S7sbXUSIs/видео.html
EXACTLY
Fucken Ayeeeee🤘
Yeah he had locked jaw. Neurologically the jaw is linked to digestion and he had also experienced a type of arthritis which was temporary, so stuff like that can happen at times. Had to move it a bit to manage it.
I remember hearing Freak off the Freakshow album, I was 13 yrs old. I was instantly hooked. I was boy crazy! The lead singer was just the cutest boy I'd ever seen on MTV. Lol
When it comes to silverchair you’re going to have so much fun when you get to neon ballroom/ diorama era, so much orchestral and and powerful songs from those two albums in particular but all the albums I think are enjoyable
I'd say listen to their songs emotion sickness and tuna in the brine if you wanna see how they evolved.
As a young band they definitely wore their influences on their sleeves, but as they matured their sound definitely evolved. The Neon Ballroom album is a fantastic mix of grungey hard rock and quite progressive, poppy, Beatles-esque sounds.
Ana's Song is a crowning glory. At first listen it's a melancholic love song, but it actually details Daniel Johns (vocalist/guitarist) battle with anorexia
Diorama album with orchestration from Van Dyke Parks is their very own ‘Pet Sounds’ and absolutely killer!! Check it out. 👍
one of the greatest ever albums really
Suicidal dream off this album is amazing
ruclips.net/video/50S7sbXUSIs/видео.html
I recommend you react to the live of Emotion Sickness 2003 in Sao Paulo , there you will see how they evolved
The most amazing thing is, that they wrote this song, and entered it in a radio competition which they won and got to record their song and have it played on the radio. Few months later they were touring and playing live. Need to listen some of there other songs since this was literally the first song they ever wrote and recorded.

Finally!! Waited for this ever since your “We recorded them yesterday” response on my CleaningOutTheShed suggestion.
Good call on Pearl Jam. I always associated Silverchair with them more. Great song.
Loved them back in the day! Frogstomp is still good today. Thanks for playing this one! They split up in 2011. Great memories.
Absolutely epic..... Loved this band/still love them!
Wow. Blast from the past! Great album. Still know every word!
Yassssss! Love the Chair!! Pure 90’s grunge all the way from the land down under! Anyone who says they tried to copy or ‘rip off’ Nirvana or Pearl Jam etc are just plain crazy.....yeah there’s definitely influences BUT they continued to evolve so much, it’s like they ‘once’ were kinda like those bands, but only for a minute.

It’s really amazing to see their evolution. I think the best way to describe it is that they started our very simple, but became very musically sophisticated. I’m so proud of them.

I'm surprised that I have never heard of them before however they seem to have a real sense of music for their age. Definitely the grunge era coming through. Good choice!
Silverchair got me through my teens. They were an emotional experience ❤
Please make reaction to Silverchair - Emotion sickness
The most complete reaction 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Listen More they have a lot of músic
Across the night Is a good example of how they evolve.
Great job Bro 🙌

I love Nirvana, one of my faves but these guys are infinitely more talented check out Neon Ballroom and Diorama for easy examples of this.
Tuna in the brine!!! MUST LISTEN
The song Emotion Sickness is amazing.
Freak show was such an awesome album!
🤘🤘❤🤘🤘 Fantastic!!! I love the Jethro Tull intro in the beginning!!! 😁✌
Silver chair is really cool, they were a local band to me so its nice to see that they went so far
ruclips.net/video/50S7sbXUSIs/видео.html
Neon Ballroom and Diorama are their best albums.
Agreed. Not a single bad track on either.
Phhhhsst.. frogstomp All the way
Killer first album.. gigging it when they were 14-15 years old.
The most immaculate vibe ever
Ben Gillies is a very heavy hitting drummer, and he also taught Chris to play guitar, so Ben is no slouch with other instruments.... he has also released new music in the last 6 months

there influences were led zeppilin/ black Sabbath/ and other heavy bands
This whole album was so good. They just rocked really hard.
Wow.... I spent lunchtimes at school playing this with my mates in ‘98. I was 16yrs old too and absolutely SHITE!!! Hahahaha good times ❤️
Silverchair was huuuuuge in the Toronto area. Pretty close to Nirvana in terms of popularity at a time.
Silverchair is a lasting band
I’ve spent a collective million hours in Tower Records in The Village in NYC!! Best store ever!! First, Silverchair are not technically still a band but they have a body of work that is OUTSTANDING!

I like their performance of The Door live at Luna Park
more pearl jam sounding, and arguably way more technical then nirvana
And way better nirvana isn’t even that good they were ripoffs
Frogstomp! What a phenomenal album!
Aw man, this takes me back. The first time I heard this song I legit thought, “oh, Nirvana got themselves another lead singer to replace Kurt? That’s weird.”

He has moved from somewhat generic, if a little quirky, rock, to heavy orchestration, baroque, operatic, electronic, ambient, R&B/soul and is pretty much equally adept in all these genres. Standout tracks include (in more or less chronological order)
Silverchair:
Israel’s Son
Pure Massacre
Freak
Abuse Me (featuring a nailed in one take backwards guitar solo)
Petrol and Chlorine
Emotion Sickness (live at São Paulo preferred)
Ana’s Song (listen to the contrast between live versions in the early 2000s and the Young Modern tour)
Steam Will Rise
Across the Night
Tuna in the Brine (mind-blowing orchestral pop rock featuring Van Dyke Parks, who notably worked with Brian Wilson/the Beach Boys)
After All These Years (beautiful piano ballad composed shortly after learning how to play piano)
The Dissociatives:
Horror with Eyeballs
Young Man, Old Man
Forever and a Day
Back to Silverchair:
Straight Lines
Those Thieving Birds/Strange Behavior
Mind Reader
All Across the World (IMO one of their best tracks and so underrated, another Van Dyke Parks collar)
Daniel Johns solo:
Preach
Late Night Drive
New York
Imagination
Reclaim Your Heart
Mansions
I Feel Electric
Emergency Calls Only (another Van Dyke Parks collab)
FreakNever (a broken mirror reflection of Silverchair’s original Freak, 20+ years later - it’s one of the creepiest/heartbreaking things you’ll ever hear)
When We Take Over
the voice at 16 is insane
Yeh good call on Pearl Jam because I used to think that Tomorrow was by Pearl Jam.
I think a lot of that guitar stuff is more Pearl Jam than Nirvana. The licks at the end of each measure are Stone Gossard
Eventually would love to see you react to one of Trivium newer songs. They have one ofthe best drummers I have heard.
You have to check out their evolution. They changed styles several times throughout their career. The album Diorama is with a symphony behind them and has some AMAZING songs.
Very few popular bands evolved as much as silverchair did.
I remember seeing these dudes on SNL when I was 15 and going, FUCK, they're like me!!
Bass player is wearing an Even T-shirt. That's another Aussie band you should check out. My Black Umbrella is worth listening to.
Please do songs and especially how they evolved into the amazing band they were !! My fav Aussie band along grinspoon and living end !!
It's a shame Daniel John's went off the rails! I believe they will reunite one day. Has been teased for years.
Frog Stomp was the first album I ever bought! Shout out Howie
4:22 exactly I was thinking yes they're doing nirvana and add some Eddie Vedder Pearl Jam vocals in. Very influenced
When i first heard Silverchair I thought very Helmet influenced not Nirvana. The Nirvana comparison is purely Johns hair. Fantastic band & so impressive that these songs were written by 13-14yr old kids.
My brother is a drummer and a pianist. I once told him he's like a doctor. He understands the fundamentals of music, but lacks the understanding of the effect it has on people. The magic of it. The feeling of it.

That is neat that you are a Silverchair expert, that's amazing
Just me that thought the piano at the start sounded like locomotive breath
Tomorrow is to Silverchair what the song Creep is to Radiohead - An early song they wrote when they were young, that's decent enough but nowhere near what they achieved later. Their latter album Diorama is on a whole other level.
Silver Chair 🔥🔥🔥
Frogstomp shud had more songs in it.. i wish they made a 100 songs in that first album... that is a kick ass album... its amazing
They are on indefinite hiatus for some years. They are all doing other music projects. Daniel has an EDM outfit with the lead singer of Empire of the Sun, and has been composing/Music Directing for TV, Film etc
Have you reacted to any Audioslave yet? If not, it needs to be high on your list
I love them
The hell with Nirvana. I enjoyed them way more when they came out with this album
Nirvana is legendary.
Nice
Check out Daniel Johns (silverchair) covering 'Smells like teen spirit' in Sydney.
Give "Suicidal Dream" a listen.
"Cemetery", "Freak", "Ana's Song" and "Anthem for the Year 2000" are some other options.
Check out Ana's Song by them. Good ballady type of song.
PS- Silver Chair won a contest in Australia when they were like 13 or 14 that led to them becoming big but I think it would have probably happened anyway just maybe not as soon.
STRAYA!
Yep, they are still a band and releasing music.
Not true
This isn't true. They aren't together anymore.
@@jlandino1002 - My mistake, it's Ben Gillies that just came out with new music. Silverchair themselves haven't put anything out for a while and doesn't look they are currently making any new music together.
Daniel Johns has an interesting moody-pop/electronic album named “Talk”
Haven't been together for over 10 years. Stopped in 2010 when recording the 6th album. Yes they have just moved their full album catalog to Sony music but doesn't mean they'll release anything else.
The biggest difference between Silverchair and Nirvana is that Daniel Johns is still alive!
They did look a lot like Nirvana and sounded like Pearl Jam when they first started that's probably what help propulse them, but that also sort of became a curse with time as they had a really hard time getting away from that sound and image as they evolved. On their first two albums, it was full of teenage angst and you could tell that they were playing music similar to the one they listened to as an outlet for that angst. Passed that however, they evolved with each album sounding very different and pushing creativity. Unfortunately, the band broke up in 2011 after almost a 20-year run.

They were 15 when they released this
If your curious on how they evolved, check out Emotion Sickness
They get so much better, though this is still a cool album.
Please do "Emotion Sickness" or "Without You" or any track from either Neon Ballroom or Diorama.
Please check out the band “Press to MECO” 3 piece of beautiful harmonies and heavy riffs!
I knew who Silverchair was before Nirvana!
Please check out Thornhill-
Where we go when we die or views from the sun! Awesome band
Silverchair are from Newcastle Australia
you should check out daniel johns new futurenever album to see if he continued to sound like nirvana or pearl jam - his musical evolution is one of my favourite things about his music
Love the reaction, but have to say you do look like Dr Wells from the tv show, and that’s sick bro
Flash tv show
Goddammit I was so ready to read “August Burns Red” in the title 😭😭😭
We suck, sorry!
@@MusicShed nah, you knock it out of the park every video. Just pulling your leg 😇😂
Listen to the acoustic version of Ana’s Song.
Where We Go When We Die - Thornhill
Very talented young men, and seriously brave to do that live. And yeah, could clearly hear the influences from both Nirvana and Pearl Jam in it. Think I will check out what they sound like now. Saw in the comments that they are still a band so that will be interesting.
Daniel is a genius.
Holy crap. The Wiz from Seinfeld is real?
I'm the Wiz and nooooobody beats me!
Jethro Tull at the start?
Jethro Tull in the beginning? Locomotive Breath? Just a guess lol
I don’t remember but it very well could be!
Please do Jared Leto's band 30 seconds to Mars, particularly his song "hurricane"
