It's a shame the band members all had a falling out with Daniel Johns...Ben Gillies (drummer) is still releasing music, as is Johns. Just as different artists. I still remember listening to Triple J radio here in Australia when Silverchair won the national music band competition.
wow literally just children then... but holy shit that sound....that stage presence that insane energy ...crazy probably one of THE koolest bands in history.
What I love is his guitar playing/tone was so good that even bands with 2-3 guitarists dont seem as full sounding. One of the best sounding 3 pieces Ive ever heard.
Whatever your view is of silverchair, you can’t deny that the moment Pure Massacre kicks into the loud part is one of the most adrenaline pumping moments one could experience in rock music!
As a metalhead who doesn't even like Silverchair (just curious to give them a chance) I gotta admit I didn't expect such a metallic sounding riff from this band.
It’s such a damn shame they are still on the outs. Ben and Dan were like brothers and friends before anything happened for them. I wish they could find their way back to friendship. Every one of them is so talented.
Daniel is one year younger than me and I was 17 here and that fascinated me with respect but the actual reason I loved and still love the records today is how good the music is, Daniel did hard rock the best, this band was fkn awesome, from the lead to the drums to the bassist, I think Ben and Chris always got looked over, although Daniel is a genius it's them all together that made such a great band
Just thinking about the massive amount of natural born ability these three had to be able to be this damn tight after only 3-4 years of playing. Not to mention to write their own songs after maybe a year! Will forever and always be amazing.
Holy shit this brought me back to 1995 when I first saw them in Cleveland. They were my age and doing exactly what I wanted to do. I’ve never stopped listening to their stuff since then. Absolutely fantastic upload. Thanks for unlocking some great memories with this upload!
I was 9 years old when I was given the Frogstomp cassette for my birthday. Looking back at this band now as a 37 year old in 2024 its both hard to believe how insanely good his voice was at that age, how sad it is that Silverchair ended up evaporating the way they did.
My first show was seeing them in November 97 in Australia. I was 11. It was awesome. They had the lights from the freak video behind them on the stage.

@@stewartross13 Not sure :/ This is all my tape has. The soundcheck is really cool, but yea would be nice to have the full show. Sorry I can't help, but maybe it'll pop up someday.....
I was 14 and remember seeing in a pamphlet from MSG that the RHCP and Silverchair were playing and I didn’t have the money nor was old enough to attend! So seeing footage now, specially the soundcheck…woooow! Thank you for posting!
I never got to see silverchair in concert as I first started going to rock concerts AFTER the silverchair era was over. I remember how much I really really wished I could go to a silverchair concert. All these years later, seeing these youtube videos of late frogstomp and early freakshow era live footage help to fills the void of the era when I really really wanted to see silverchair in concert but couldn't.
@@Rodrigombia1990 I grew up down the road from him same age know them all Ben and Chris stayed pretty humble Daniel didn't. If you know you know...deal with it
@@brownsworthy7323 Honestly it wouldn't matter. They could release a new rock album and the radio will play the song for 2 days before going back to just playing something off Frogstomp as its Silverchair for the day.
These guys rocked, prob saw them a dozen or so times back in the day, they put on a great show. Shame it came to an end so quick., but it was good while it lasted
@@jinxx3744 guess. But they changed their entire style for absolutely no reason. They also weren't 13-15 lol. He was 16-17. Young aa hell and impressive but big difference
so many comments how this band "came to an end" and "never sounded the same" after Frogstomp... im sorry, but give me Neon Ballroom and Diorama over those first 2 records ALLLL DAY. love Frogstomp, but that record sounds like 1995 when the later albums are timeless. not to mention, this band stayed together for 14 more years after this broadcast, lol.
I remember buying Frogstomp in 1995 as a 14 year old. Read their interviews in various guitar magazines. Frogstomp is still Silver hairs finest work IMHO. About 3 years ago when I began playing Bass the first bassline (song) I learned from start to finish was Tomorrow. Their music is still an inspiration to me. As it is to countless others.
Que nostalgia! Saudade , sentimento bom me sentir nos anos 90. Eu era apenas um garotinho de 10 anos quando conhecí essa preciosidade chamada Silverchair !
@@s0m3rand0mb01 all their albums are 10s but young modern is the worst one out of all of them imo. still a fantastic album and it has their biggest song on it but diorama was the first album when they fully had their own sound and musically is the best one
This was one of the great musical moments of my life. This boy's voice echoing off the roof of MSG was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. We were there for RHCP, but these guys stunned the crowd!
i started playing the drums at 15 years old (during the show I had been playing for maybe 6 or 7 months) and let me tell you, Ben Gillies is still one of my favorites most animated drummers ever and i’m a morgan rose fan
