Written at 12/13 years old. Crazy!

[@SeanEnginetechnology]

Ahhh, don't get me wrong, I LOVE some, a bunch, of 80's music BUT, and that's a big but- the greats that came out of the 90's is absolutely phenomenal 🎉❤🙏🎸 Alice in Chains & Mad Season (anything with Layne Staley singing), Pearl Jam, anything with Chris Cornell Sound Garden & Audioslave & Temple of the Dog, Silver Chair, Pantera(of course 🤯), and oh soo many more.. But really, good music is absolutely timeless! I've gone through so many phases listening to different types and genres of music and now I listen to everything from bluegrass to blues, to Metal, rock, Alternative to Techno and so much more! Anyone who thinks music gets old is small minded Much love ♥️🙏🎸

[@1986BBG]

@@SeanEnginetechnology Agreed but for myself I meant the 80s music from almost all genres was awesome, I was into classic rock, rock,metal,punk some new wave, country and some others as well but will agree when it came to grunge rock and the bands you mentioned radio was on fire and exciting. I’m with you brother, love all music and al says keep an open ear for something new. Cheers

I was front row center stage for their absolute massive Rock Fest festival gig there were nearly 400thousand ppl there it was held at the Atlanta motor speedway track you couldn't have squeezed another single solitary person in the crowd went from the stage across the entire track/center field area all the way up every single riser in the stands! It was filmed for MTV professionally and the camera guy kept zooming in on me numerous times if you watch the video of it you'll also see the drummer making faces obviously in a conversation which he was cuz it was me he was talking to easily one of the best shows of my life and been to hundreds of them in my life starting with pantera soylent green and anthrax (biiiiig shout out to my mom who not only let me drive 3 states away with no adult in sight just us teenagers the oldest was only 16 I was 14 or so and mom rented us a car paid for hotel has and merch money so I could have my face melted off by dimebag lmao! Anyhow if you watch the show I'm talking about it's searchable as "Silverchair full set rock fest Atlanta pro shot" really awesome show one of their best imo should to decide to check it out I'm the tan chick front center against the barrier in a white kind of lace bra,(it was so stifiling brutally hot that day and add into that the body heat of 400thousand ppl packed shoulder to shoulder like sardines lol so off went my shirt about halfway through the day hahaha)and a white necklace haha😅😂🎉❤😊

[@lorimulkey8423]

If you’re listening to and love Frogstomp then you will also like Freak Show. After that they started changing their sound, you won’t recognize them at all in their 5th and final album, I wanna cry thinking about it they were so damn good!

[@ferruscx]

Listen to old SC not new

[@thewal1ofsleep]

@@ferruscx Silverchair haven't released an album in over 17 years, so all Silverchair is basically old at this point. But I get it, you probably just mean the first two (or three) albums.

[@billyghostal]

@@ferruscx I am one year younger than Dan and have followed his career since Frogstomp came out. The first 3 albums were my teenage years. Loved them to pieces. Wasnt super into YM or Diarama but still appreciate Dan's growing composership (is that a word?) I also think his new album FutureNever is absolutely breat[ht]aking, cant find a bad moment in it. Its not grunge or anything but it is a VERY well written album with a hell of an emotional journey behind the lyrics. LONG LIVE PAPA JOHNS

[@StankFernatra]

​@@billyghostalThanks for the recommendations. I remember Rolling Stone writing about them, when they blew up, but had focused elsewhere, at the time. This is probably a good time to check them out.

[@dant8162]

Which location was this one at

[@Ugadawgpound32]

95 was at Lakewood I think? They started having them at Georgia International Horsepark because it was big enough to hold the huge crowd of people. 99X freeloader baby!

[@nazaxprime]

Awesome. Those were the days. I remember at the time, the youth really lamented missing the summer of 69, but in retrospect, the summer of 96 was a pretty damn worthy successor. It was just close enough to the peak of civilization in 1984 that it enjoyed some of the benefits and tone if the tech era while enjoying the simmering swollen dignity that remained of the beforehand. Now its all singularity and poverty with the promise of some fake technological godhead to save us from the shackles wrought from the liberties of post war prosperity... We've come a long way, I only hope you're all on top enough to still see the dream well enough to point the way for the youth of today that as of yet havent had the chance to step out of the universal garage and onto the stage of all tomorrows.

[@brodiestephens419]

This guy was more than likely talking about 'The Big Day Out' in Australia, which is our biggest rock music festival.... and the home country of Silverchair. I'm not sure Silverchair would have been playing a lot of shows outside Australia in 1995. They were still in school, and about 14 years old. 😅😅

[@zarc0n]

If you're a music fan in general, it would be an interesting journey to listen to all of their albums in order. You'd actually get the sense for what a band that started so young actually grew in to musically. I personally am a fan of the bands music and love songs from all of the albums. Some melodies, from all of the albums, still are with me after all of these years. Definitely a band worthy of a listen 🤘🏼😎

Well, got to know Daniel Johns and Silverchair during Lockdown, so mamy similarities, Im Daniels age.Older by 3 months the same as my childhood best friend. Its uncany how I love every single song this man has put out whether its Horror with Eyeballs with Paul Mac, Future Never or Talk Albums or the 5 Silverchair Albums. I find the music hits me on a Universal level, like the fact we came into the world in the same year, universal pull, cosmic energies affecting our cells. Im going to say tge Worlds greatest Modern Day Composer is Dan Johns. Im saying it after 3 years of almost daily play. I highly recommend Israels Son, I miss you Love, Keep Losing Sleep, Without You, Tuna in the Brine, Across the night, Straight Lines, Young Modern Station, Emergency Calls Only, By your side, We are Golden, Reclaim your Heart...just a few to get you started. Oh and Cocaine Killa. Emotion Sickness...I cant stop. As I said the very very best. Modern day Mozart ❤🎉
