Silverchair's experience with popularity is quite different in Australia compared to the rest of the world. Yes their first album was massive everywhere, but all of their albums were massive in Australia. They did become more divisive towards fans the older they got, but by the time their last album came out, the lead single 'Straight Lines' was the biggest song in Australia of that year. It had huge commercial airplay.

I saw them at the Santa Monica pier in 90âs. Someone threw something at Johnâs and gave him a bloody nose. The band stopped and he left the stage and then came right back covered in blood and said something like âfuck it..â and rocked even harder. I was 10 feet away from this and itâs still one of the greatest rock n roll moments Iâve ever witnessed.

I love Silverchair. I was 15 when Frogstomp came out and when I found out they were also 15, it blew my mind to think that dudes my age were making music that good. They were my first rock concert (which took some convincing with my mom to let me go) and they were amazing live. As they got older, their sound changed of course and I wasn't initially a huge fan of Diorama, but now I realize it's a masterpiece. I was bummed when they broke up, but I'm hoping they might reunite because I'd definitely love to see them live again. God, I miss the 90s. Great time for music.

Not many people can write a album like Frogstomp when youâre 14 years old and then write freak show at 17 years old both while still at high school. Neon ballroom a dark album but some great songs and wrote that while suffering with anorexia. Diorama is an absolute masterpiece of a album too

Diorama is a masterpiece of an album and it is Silverchair at their peak. Especially Daniel Johns and his vocal performance on said album. There was absolutely no pitch correction on his vocal takes, which, is an incredibly common tool utilized the studio by many artist. In addition to that the range that he has, is just outstanding.

I saw them in 1995 in Boston. They were literally at their peak in the US with Frogstomp. They opened up for the Chili Peppers and goddamn did they sound great. Unbelievable considering they were 16, 17 at the time???
Never seen a group that young put out such a classic album, debut or not. Each song had radio potential and couldâve all been a single back in those days.
No band of teenagers i can think of rocked that hard and still sounded so clean live. Not even close.
They opened with Madman and eventually plowed through every song that was on Frogstomp. Iâm almost positive they closed with Israelâs Son.

Around Christmas time (the year Young Modern came out) they were touring and played a venue here in Mobile where I live. I couldnât go to the concert because I had to go to a company Christmas party for my wifeâs company. About halfway through the party one of the stylists (she was a cosmetologist) came up and said âthereâs a group of guys asking if they can come in. They think weâre having a wedding reception haha. They have accentsâ when I looked over they were leaving and I chased them down lol. I begged them to stay but they were headed up to the club at the top floor of the hotel we were at. Thankfully their drummer was in love with one of the hair stylists, a 6â4 ebony version of Marilyn Monroe, and we got to hang out with them all night. Of course the younger people I was with had no clue who they were but I was in heaven. I took pics with their drummer and we talked in detail about sobriety (I was attempting it for the first time) and how much it sucked. Their manager got so drunk we had to carry him to the elevator on a luggage rack. They were laughing their heads off. Super nice guys. Iâve never gotten to hang out with a famous band before or since.
