Silverchair - Emotion Sickness at Newcastle 2003

[@MrZZsharka]

Possibly the greatest rock song ever written by an 18 year old (At the time he wrote it)

[@andym28]

It was written by a professional songwriter. Forget the guys name.

[@ryanford101]

Andy M do you mean Daniel John’s?

[@GianBerselli]

@@andym28 For years I have been trying to find out who wrote AND orchestrated this song. This is a forgotten masterpiece that deserves more recognition

[@bluehacker122]

@@GianBerselli check this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/laKQmICGjrlqjNE they disscuss how neon ballroom got recorded in general and also talk a bit about specific tracks. he mentioned here that a guy called larry( i think he talked more about him in some other interview) wrote the piano parts which were later perforrmed by David Helfgott.

[@tess934]

Andy M It was actually written by Daniel Johns but the piano and strings was composed by some other people (i’ve forgotten their names sorry)

[@crispymustard1984]

I don’t think people even get a grasp of how much of a masterpiece this is.

[@benjamin8876]

Neon Ballroom was the best album from silverchair...and emotion sickness is a masterpiece ;)

[@itsame2755]

agreed. i still listen to Neon Ballroom on a regular basis. And obviously this song ;)

[@ruthandres6588]

Not my favorite album of theirs, but this song is for sure a masterpiece

[@TruthNowX99]

Absolutely

[@stewdapples267]

@@ruthandres6588 I’m with you there, there’s a couple of total gems on it, but at the time I hated it compared to Frogstomp and Freak Show... Now when I look back, this song is unreal

[@stephenstuckey]

Agreed

I’m 38 years old and I still listen to Silverchair. As big as they got, I think they could have been bigger, but in a way they remain in the cool band category. Those that know, know how good they are. This performance is amazing. I have the ultimate admiration to the three of them

I'm nearly 60 and love Silverchair.

[@DarianCabot]

I was at this concert. Travelled from Brissy because I missed out on tickets there. One of the best live gigs I've seen.

[@BethanyMPatterson]

[@rootsm3]

I love this version so much, I wish they had it this way on the album.

[@pitpride1220]

I'm an American. I remember seeing these guys performing Tomorrow on SNL. I was a couple of years older than them at the time. I was so proud of them even then. These little prodigies making great tunes. To see what they became over time is just awe inducing to me. My friends and I knew they were special even then. To see what they grew into is phenomenal. At a loss for words. Brilliant performance!

[@brownsworthy7323]

I grew up in the same town, same age as these guys, hung out in the same circle and hated them when we were teens. I think it was mainly jealousy as I thought my band was better and that Chris wasn't a great bass player and rode on Daniel and Bens coattails. I have learnt in time to respect them for their brilliance and enjoy all their work from frogstomp to young modern. Of all of the guys Ben is the most down to earth and actually speaks to you as an equal, Chris was a dick when younger but has mellowed and Daniel will always be a bit of a diva but rightly so he is the reason they went as far as they did.

[@ericapelechaty2146]

I remember hearing this when I was 18, and I’ve always hummed the melody he does during this performance. Hummed it to myself, hummed it to the children I worked with in the daycare, and now hum it to my son. It’s just incredibly soothing, which I find irony with it being such an emotional song.

[@silverprincej]

One of best songs ever created. I hope one day this guys or any good musicians plays this with a orchestra. I think it was Silverchair's biggest flaw not to manage a concert with real strings.

[@lachlanhiggs]

Completely agree. They're gigantic cinematic songs that would be larger than life with a real orchestra.

[@silverprincej]

Exactly! Especially this song. Its pure eargasm.

[@Hooligan71]

Has to be amazing to play for your hometown crowd

[@BonesLung]

It's once in a decade, that appears someone that can compose, play and sing perfect songs like this. He doesn't need to prove anything to no one anymore. Truely a God of music, brilliant. Remembers me of Jeff Buckley in so many ways!

[@harryaccidently4345]

Since 2000 i still keep playing this song.for me this is masterpiece!

[@lisamurphy4282]

[@iceman992992]

i was at work but then i had to stop working and just listen. what an amazing climax at the end of this song. i almost cried

[@forrest8976]

Wow...last post was so so long ago. My soul has been marinating and maturing for some time now. I was born before SilverChair-s "Frogstomp" and i was born after it. However, here it is Oct 19th 2018 and I have been reborn again. Not the best live performance of this song; but its a great band. Trio power. Im actually surprised so many folks hate on Daniel ...like he has intentionally done something to harm them or their ego. They were an amazing Power Trio at that time and age. And DAMNIT my band PISTOLERO is going to do a one of their greats, with a little tiny einsy einsy bit of future influence added. It is 2018 of course. If a TRU fan of SC ...PISTOLERO...will be paying homage very soon to the great power trio!

[@cleidianelessa6649]

Eu não tenho palavras para descrever à importância do Daniel nesse mundo.

[@The11Jade]

Sooo... why are they compared to Nirvana?? Legendary on their on own to me.

[@The11Jade]

'their own' lol

[@lisamurphy4282]

Dannell Croon my thoughts exactly. If we the fans are tired of hearing that ridiculous comparison can you imaging how the band members feel?

[@snz.negatif]

There's always people who likes to compare everything. More hardcore, this band vs that band kinda people.

[@lisamurphy4282]

Mat Zen Silverchairs first 2 records may have followed the grunge coda but they weren’t copy cats of any one. I have never thought the band sounded like nirvana and I’m a big fan of both. But it’s all about Daniel for me. The emotion and anger he puts into performances are so genuine. The complete 99’ Melbourne concert is perfection. I never get tired of it.

[@snz.negatif]

Lisa Murphy it's just the sound. That grunge sound was huge, plus they were young. Of course they're inspired by the songs and bands that they grew up with. But Daniel, for me he always had that vision of modern alternative sound. And I'm glad he went with it. Yes that performance! They said he was sick on that time, I don't know whether it's true. But, he nailed that song. The band also tight. Sounds raw and darker than their later live versions.
