That moment when you realize you’re the youngest Rock star in history.

I can't believe that's a 15 year old boys voice. Amazing

​@@dive3050 I'm 63 & still jam out on Silverchair! Never got to see them live tho 😭😭😭

[@gstar7686]

I still have my original CDs of Frogstomp, Freak Show and Neon Ballroom. Damn I wish this band would've kept playing heavy music.

[@maxpalmer3212]

G Star same

[@Israel9912]

yeah im too

[@MrZZsharka]

I’ve still got their first EP with Tomorrow, Acid Rain, Blind and Stoned :)

[@kristopherguilbault5428]

I wish that they could of even just took a year off and then regrouped fresh... With more rock lol

[@herbdaveydc]

I honestly only listened to Frogstomp. Are the others as good or even close?

[@TheFunkhouser]

Dans so sort of meek and shy and humble in interviews yet on stage his whole persona changes.. and his voice turns heavy. Its very interesting.

[@maxpalmer3212]

I wish sliver chair was still around we need them now and days Frogstomp is an amazing debut album 🤘🎸

[@JillsCraftySpace]

My walls were covered in silverchair posters as a teen. The memories of concerts and meeting them and other fans was amazing. Silverchair got me through High School.

[@Warnerchild]

some nice rare pics there

[@everm5897]

best young band way back then

[@mixn3084]

Oh God, please reunite them again..

[@silverfr3ak]

I found out about Silverchair by 2000, back to Neon Ballroom era. They already were pretty different from the kids from 1995 and the band still would change a lot. But seeing these pictures, I can understand why so many fans miss these days. Sure they'd grown up and would not be the same forever, but it has some nostalgia about the whole thing. Anyway, as a fan, I admire evey moment from John's career, I'm thankful for all his music and just hope he's ok now.

[@astorgaluthier]

The Best times were 95/97. I had the chance to see them november, 1996.

[@ENZ7Y]

Holy shit this version is so muuuch better....wow!

[@MrZZsharka]

Stevie Wonder and this is live! :)

[@MrZZsharka]

It was more like this on their first E P. I prefer it to the album version. More raw etc

[@serglayer30]

Recuerdo el frogstomp A principios de 1995 yo solo tenía 13 años, pero a pesar de mi corta edad ya había escuchado a los grandes del grunge de seattle y cuando escuché la música de Silverchair quedé maravillado a pesar de no saber casi nada de inglés para aquel entonces,, lo que quiero decir que para ser niños prácticamente solo un par de años mayor que yo habían compuesto música tan maravillosa que para mi estaba a la par de las bandas más grandes de grunge de principios de los 90's y no creía que eran adolecentes como yo, todo el frogstomp es bellísimo

[@MikeCarvin]

Y encima Frogstomp es básicamente una fantástica síntesis de los 4 grandes de Seattle. Increíble considerando que eran adolecentes cuando lanzaron este discazo.

[@ymeekins6357]

Oh wow oh wow. Just talented be on belief.

[@chadcox2052]

Beautiful video & tribute!! Thanks for posting.. Love Silverchair🤘

[@dansloan4242]

Can't believe it's been 25 years already, WTF!!!!!

[@darasena6241]

I love Daniel with or without Silverchair♥️

[@justdev8965]

WOW I am shocked. This is unbelievable quality, holy hell I can across heart the bag miss perfectly with my earphones. This bad line is Viktor muted in the AcD unfortunately. I didn't knee it e such a cool bassline. I was so wrong to think it followed the guitar only. THANKS FOR THIS UPLOAD!

[@jj-if6it]

The first photos are so funny with their clean, bowl haircuts. The black and white one could almost come from the 1950s

[@thechemist901]

Daniel Johns at 15 he record a song 😉 Me in 15 I start to play guitar 😂

[@nikczemna_symulakra]

Gosh, i'm old😭

[@Dwolfmusic]

Tymon the Łajza at least you grew up when rock music was mainstream.

[@nikczemna_symulakra]

@@Dwolfmusic You're kind of right.. Still remember how music televisions and magazines (not to mention all the grunge teens around) were bewailing Cobain's death. And it was truly the no1 subject EVERYWHERE. Rock and everything about it was filling everyone's heart up😏 But in the same time there was lots of shitty masqueraders with the idea - three chords and neglectful appearance can transform you into god of rock. A little later in nineties, people like Corgan, Reznor, Marilyn Manson etc. referred to that matter multiple times🙄

[@Dwolfmusic]

Tymon the Łajza true but there will always be posers. I’m 21 now and i kinda grew up in the “nu metal” era, which i never liked. I was and still am into bands that were in their peak before i was even born, so i never really experienced any “rock-revolution” and probably never will. No Nirvana , no Beatles, no Rolling stones for this guy ;(

[@nikczemna_symulakra]

@@Dwolfmusic I really want to believe the best is still yet to come🙄 -but i soberly doubt it- Funny thing is lots of people [myself included😎] feel connected to the music decade they never belonged to or were too small to appreciate. Still not sure what is generating that type of nostalgia.. But if you'd ask me -- music of the 80's (especially those European-based sounds, where you can tangibly feel the burden of the communism and demanding for freedom) is the closest to my ears and heart; even though the biggest things for me back then were Cyndi Lauper's haircut or some other pop sh!ts. But you surely know what i mean😁

[@Ogscottyp]

Damn, Daniel Johns defaced a now classic Ibanez Steve Vai JEM Floral by swapping the neck with some junky strat knock off. Sacrelige man.

[@danielmcgregor1]

Scott Patterson maybe the original broke or he bought it like that.

[@Spedly]

Its not a JEM, its acopy

[@stephenrutherford8489]

Pretty sure it was a real JEM. I've seen a pic of it before the strat neck was installed. Had the tree of life inlay on the original neck. This guitar also had the floyd rose bridge replaced with a tuneomatic bridge.

[@astorgaluthier]

His first guitar was an Rock Axe Stratocaster. I guess he was use to play strats necks, and thats why he replaced the Ibanez wizard neck

[@stephenrutherford8489]

@@astorgaluthier Where did you find out Daniel's first guitar was a Rok Axe? Do you know what model it was?
