Silverchair - Paint Pastel Princess - Live @ Melbourne, 1999

[@mysticalflutterby]

I was there! I was 15 and it was my first arena concert!

[@cameronalewood3661]

I envy you so much! This is my all time favourite live concert ever. SILVERCHAIR MELBOURNE PARK 1999

[@Yokonono99]

"She tastes the candy Sugarless, cancerous." That's my favorite line...I don't know why, just the way he says it.

[@wirsindhelden0]

every time i hear this song i die. then come back to life and think, "that was the best death anyone could wish for." this is perfect.

[@Vincent4Life90]

Daniel Johns is definately an underrated players. This performance bears testament to that.

[@EspireMike]

The best performance of one of my all-time favourite Chair songs...

[@wonderstruckx]

and the fact that he plays with that same guitar to this day is awesome

[@AkeFreak]

This was my favourite one for a long time, along the entire Frogstomp, Freak Show, Neon Ballroom and Diorama, all of them, each song.

[@dragonsan45]

Neon Ballroom is my favorite album of all time. The music never gets old and it always sends chills down my spine. I like the chair's newer and older stuff, but the stuff from ballroom cannot be topped in my mind. I love it. And the lives of these songs are just as dynamic, if not more, esp. this Melbourne '99 live.

[@shaunmorris8176]

I have loved seeing them when they came to Adelaide. I'm still playing this loud in 2020 new year tonight come on 2021.

[@bayuarumanto4811]

Remember the prowess of your grunge.💪😆

[@amandaem]

Aww I loved this show, I have it on VHS somewhere. ;) Good times, and great performances by all!

[@fabiobcarlesso]

this is my favourite silverchair song. I just love it!!

[@raechellee]

Daniel is a god silverchair is my freaking favorite band and there awesome live i saw them about a month ago sadly they didnt play this song though. and i agree Neon Ballroom is perfection

[@wonderstruckx]

i love neon ballroom era daniel theres nothing like it haha

[@KekaChair]

Viciei em Paint Pastel Princess!♥ Quero Silverchair no Brasil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dragonsan45]

This is an amazing performance... I have always wanted a copy. I love Neon ballroom, but I have no clue where to find a copy of this performance.

[@wonderstruckx]

Paul Mac isn't gay nor did he ruin Silverchair..when you are band for 17 years your ideas and tastes generally change especially when Silverchair started when Daniel was like 14..i appreciate his (Daniels) musical creativity and his ability to grow and try new things and express himself differently. This album (neon ballroom) is fantastic and definitely my favorite album of all time BUT I love watching them as a band grow.

[@Jason_Music]

One of their best song !

[@geordan_learns]

aww this is perfect

[@WhySoSerious55]

I wish this band would get a LOT more cred over here in the US because everything they have done has been simply amazing. None of that cookie cutter crap they produce state side exists in the band Silverchair, which is just great. They are truly unique and I will always love them for that.

[@silverchyld]

Nearly brought a tear to my eye. What I wouldn't give to have seen that performance live. Just... perfection. Perfect chemistry, perfect execution of (perfect) vocals. I respect that they grew up and the music changed, but I don't have to like it :S In all seriousness, this will always be my favorite album from pretty much any band at all. And even if I'm 68 and still listening to "angsty" music, then let me be! It's the absolute best.

[@melliexo]

my all time favourite song. Ever. By my all time favourite band.

[@allthesame2me]

I love this song...and daniel...great performance!!!!

[@esterdiorama]

i love them

[@KyoroBR]

Silverchair is fucking awesome!!!I'm a greatest fan of them!!!

[@k1nj3]

This song is so perfect

[@raechellee]

god i wish this was the album version 2:45-2:59 is amazing, he has such good control over his voice. i wanted them to play this song so bad when i saw them but they mostly just played their new stuff :( that was still awesome tho

[@gabicardoso1309]

I miss..

[@jihadamcsween2677]

This sounds like it could have been on Diorama ❤

[@chastalight]

wow this is my favorite song and I have never heard or seen it played and wow it's even more my favorite now than originally heard! I was 12 then 21 now doesn't matter it's all the same to me!

[@elvira-qc9or]

And I am seeing this comment 12 years later!

[@wirsindhelden0]

you took the words right out of my mouth. exactly. perfection.

[@wirsindhelden0]

yes, please!!

[@msrysignals]

the silverchair dvd "the best of videology" has 3 performances from this concert on it..."The Door", "Paint Pastel Princess" and "Spawn Again", I own the dvd and would strong reccomend it

[@melliexo]

if u love the Chair too, I love you back man

[@Vincent4Life90]

Has to be my second fave track from Neon Ballroom. Awesome performance.

[@GGiblet]

LYRICS: It's only self rejection With a mean left Cold carbon copied coping And it's mean theft That's been left behind

[@garner1234]

yes, exactly, neon ballroom is my fav album to be honest.

[@Yuri-sd6gm]

Emotion Sickness and Paint Pastel Princess at this show were absolutely fantastic. Better than the studio versions.

[@oscarclash]

wonderful...

[@volcano83]

Awesome LesPaul

[@gabicardoso1309]

boouaa demaaiss :D

[@BreakingGlass77]

one of my favorite songs on neon ballroom

[@BLueEyeButterfly]

that was really fucking enjoyable.

[@MaigdheanMhara]

and look at how brilliant those albums were. I think he did pretty well. Diorama was an opus. Young modern was a little dicey, but Diorama.... phenomenal.

[@liamkeesing]

i'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's just the facts. I personally love all of silverchair's albums, Diorama especially!

[@adhiirani9967]

all the same to me.. but i still wait for your next genius album johnsy...

[@karenjojieong3496]

epic songs

[@wonderstruckx]

@TylerTProductions on a phone app for last fm it was in a short bio. im sure you can find it by searching google. i love it :)

[@shimmercoconut]

wow, I didn't realize this, I wonder what role this played in their break up...I hope we hear more music from either one of the members. I'm sure Daniel will release something...

[@TylerTProductions]

@wonderstruckx Thanks! :)(:

[@haladar5]

Quite frankly...the recorded version of this song pales in comparison to any live version I have heard of it.

[@VonJimboz]

Yepp this and emotion sickness is in the same tuning, but it's pretty simple to me, although strings usually go off when i try to tune it in that tuning x)

[@14ed14ed]

Neon Ballroom is a (sad) dream :)

[@sonofathing]

neon ballroom rules!

[@Daz80]

hes a good guitarist

[@zangief007]

Silverchair pretty cool

[@garner1234]

exactly the same here.

[@tingkagol]

Jason Segel on keyboard.

[@SideSpin11]

"that was great, but I couldn't understand" hahahaha

[@musicsquid]

@MPG350 you "hope he gets depressed again" ... He nearly died? Do you want that?

[@IronRevolution]

Fuck, he was too skinny here =/ I'm glad Daniel is much better and healthy now. Silverchair may be over for some time now, but i'll keep waiting. Young Modern was awesome, and Daniel grew up to be an ever better artist.

[@14ed14ed]

lol The antidepressants make a confused man :)

[@Spedly]

That's not true, he just lived on his own and wrote full songs/arrangements instead of collaborating with Ben like he had for the first 2 albums.

[@TylerTProductions]

@wonderstruckx Where did you read this quote if I might ask? I would really like to know please :)

[@MPG350]

@wonderstruckx hope he gets depressed again neon ballroom was my favorite

[@TheSara90]

come on, u really think kurt was the first aritist, that asked the audience to say sth on counting up to 3?

[@michaellovegrove]

this was during his anorexia peroid ay? you can tell coz hes like all out of breath at the start. but man oh man what a truely awesome song. :D

[@esterdiorama]

@therenanreislima

[@GGiblet]

She tastes the candy Sugarless, cancerous Crave cocaine cop shows I'll beg you, beg you But it's all the same to me But it's all the same to me But it's all the same to me But it's all the same to me

[@BLueEyeButterfly]

@KayPeace000 he is rediculous. and pulls it off rediculously well.

[@ryanqualizza2574]

I really tried to focus on the musical genius, but Chris' fluro orange tracky dacks were too distracting

[@garner1234]

whats the first fave ?

[@avedic]

he seems so incredibly pilled-out this show. but hey, drugs are indispensable to making good music. fact.

[@KayPeace000]

His shirt is a little ridiculous.

[@GGiblet]

Paint pastel princess Bo and arapax The shelves when they're broken I'll beg you, beg you Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater Content with contents Cultures cringing at accents And it's too tense, camp out (nonsense)

[@CarpeVolante]

I actually like Daniel better now. He looks so much greater. But it might just be the weed. I've always found him rather insipid ( please don't stone me ) before Diorama.

[@BretBaber]

I'm glad they don't make music like Frogstomp anymore because it is their WORST record.

[@mmasterrulz]

he might look better but that dosen't mean his music is better....
