    Default OMG Silverchair, what do aussies here think of Silverchair.

    Are you proud? Hate them?

    TBH, I listened to them as a teen about 7 years ago. Have not heard Diorama (tho heard critics call it Diarrhea) or the new one, Young and Modern. I read they were the first Aussie band to have a #1 CD in the US or something like that?

    God damn, I love "Cemetary".

    Daniel Johns!! Woooo! (At least back then.) Worth checking out new stuff?

    ^ I don't.

    Well, I liked them back in the Frogstomp/Freakshow days, but now they're fucking horrid. That 'Straight Line' song makes me wish I suffered from a hearing impairment.

    I saw them live this past New Year's Eve in their hometown of Newcastle, Australia when I was down there for almost a month, and the turnout for the show was massive and enthusiastic.

    I guess like with any band from anywhere the fan base varies.

    But I think Daniel Johns is a total hottie.

    Jesus, you think that's bad, what about the latest single, "Reflections of a Sound"? Maybe he could just write and play the guitar, certainly wouldn't be impossible to hire a more accomplished singer.

    Silverchair??? They're still around? I remember hearing how great they were years ago, being like, 16 years old and all. So they're all grown up now? heh

    Their new stuff is kinda... whiney. And boring.

    They used to be a lot rockier and harder and it was WAY better. They're just awful now.

    In all honesty I dont mind some of their stuff. I sort of think good on em for doing what they did at such a young age. I dont own any of their albums or anything, but i havebeen caught dancing to their stuff at a regular nightclub, lol.
