Shane I too was a bit mystified and jealous when these young kids blew up in the 90s and initially dismissed them as another nirvana clone but I was happily mistaken and they eventually started to grow on me when I saw them on Conan actually performing this song from their second album freakshow 97 maybe? I was even more impressed with how they matured and their album Diorama is one of my favorite albums of all time in fact, an eclectic mix of sonic freakishly good jams. Thanks as always and be excellent to each other everyone. Party on, Espi
yeah they started as nirvana clones I think, but their catalogue actually really developed and was quite diverse as time went on. They showed growth. Haven't heard much at all about them in recent years though..
I love freak, Ive never seen them perform it like this. I think it's because it was in the middle of a huge set. His vocal range is incredible. I love their regular live performances of this song
The vocals on the record are a lot more straight forward but Daniel likes to have fun with it live doing weird falsettos, death growls, banshee howls, jazz scatting whatever
Going out there and say this I have never heard of this band before. They seem like they would be fun to see live. Good song. Michael is the Best Name Out There!!
They were my first concert when I was 12 (they were all 15 & 16), so I grew up with them. They definitely started off as a grunge band but by the end they were more art rock than anything else.
My first concert was the Freakshow tour in Brisbane Australia, at the river stage. It was 1997 i was 15 my dad took me to see them..It is probably my favorite memory of my childhood/teen years..
“Tomorrow” is the song you were thinking of. Loved this band! Yes, I saw them live several times in Australia, they were amazing. Sadly the band is no longer together.
No they're not together anymore. Parted in 2011 after 5 albums. Check out Daniel Johns other stuff, he does a lot of side projects. Other top silverchair songs are Israel's son, Emotion Sickness, One Way Mule, Spawn Again, Pure Massacre. Daniel's own songs Cool On Fire.
The vocals he did on this live version are insane. The studio version is much better. I liked their heavier stuff like “Pure Massacre” and “Israel’s Son”, but “Emotion Sickness” and “Ana’s Song” are very special as well.
Get it, Espi! I haven't heard this in forever! 🤘 Only those a certain age will remember Tiny Tim (remember when he married "Miss Vicki" on The Tonight Show???)....tip-toe through that SILVER COAT, darling!! 😸
The only other word I know from the Fat Boy song is “tomorrow”. When I hear the song over years, I always think of that Mad Max movie with Mel Gibson for some reason.
I probably will be the only persob you will hear the name of this band from, but please, check out Yearning - Returning and Yearning - Evershade. This is the band who became "COLOSSEUM". But main musician passed away in 2010 sadly. "The River" by Colosseum is the song which represents funeral doom metal genre the best possible way in my opinion. Its not super long and you will not regret listening to it. Regards.
Great band, first two albums are really good,, Shane l think it’s time for some more classic Canadian Thrash, how about ReAnimation by Sacrifice from Toronto ? Love your channel my man ! 🤘👍⚡️🎸🍺🍺👍👍
Great band, with lots of great songs..but not the best song nor performance... It was great when I was 14 but def didn't age well. Even Daniel Johns (lead) admitted later on that he didn't like the song much but they still played it until much later as it remained a crowd favorite. Here's a later, much better version of it: czcams.com/video/Y4aEyM8kIHM/video.html Their best stuff came after 99 until they broke up in 2011. (Freak was in 97)
to me silverchair where the DOWN UNDER Nirvana but not in a bad way... like if Kurt had a younger brother so they just sounded a bit the same voice and music wise BUT again in a good way...wonder why Dave Grola never asked Silverchairs lead singer to sing a Nirvana Song with them at the HALL OF FAME show would have been way cool then the 3 Under Powered Women Singers they Had Sing EWWFF
If they had released Freak instead of Abuse me in the U S as their first single off their 2nd album (Freakshow) I think they would have been more successful there. I don’t think their young fan base could really relate to Abuse Me. It sounded kinda gay before gay was accepted. Huge blunder by the record company who might have been more interested in radio air play there at the time.
@@MultiNickhardy yeah imagine if Nirvana had released Polly (Polly wants a cracker) instead of Smells like Teen Spirit. There’s no way they would have been as big in the U S.
Wtaf??? That was a very weird performance. The girly squel, the licking the mic, the screamo..omg. the tempo was too slow. When he kicked in the guitar properly at the start the drums came in too slow. Was like ac/dc's painfully slow tempo of highway to hell at the grammys.
Unique idea of mixing various “voices”, but I can’t see myself cranking this up. Knowing my luck, I’d be pulling into a gas station with a cute girl smiling and this kid would be “singing” as that weird lady.
He totally felt like a Freak in Australia where most other bands in their prime were boring by comparison and got far less attention and being so young they got so much attention worldwide so quickly and Before social media. Also the only Grunge band in Australia when they started. In Newcastle. Aussie guys were mostly into football/sport, getting pissed and the bravado was strong back then. Daniel didn’t really fit in when being himself the way Chris and Ben would have, especially Ben. People thought Daniel was gay or just acts gay when being gay was basically seen as a disease. While the other bands were party animals Daniel was more of a loner/reserved. Look at Clint from the Aussie band The Butterfly Effect during the late 90s. He would have fit in very well in Newcastle and just about anywhere in Australia.
Great song but shit live version. Dan likes to look forward not back so when he does older songs like this he sings them terrible on purpose. The only good live versions of this song would be from the Freak Show tour '97-'98.

@@markdouglas9182 Daniel Johns has just released an album - FutureNever - there is an interesting "rewrite" of Freak on it
@@markdouglas9182 I heard Helmet a lot more than Nirvana in most of their songs from their first and second album. Of course some Mad Season too.
A lot of people hated the guys out of jealousy.there the same age as I am it was love at first then hatred
I love freak, Ive never seen them perform it like this. I think it's because it was in the middle of a huge set. His vocal range is incredible. I love their regular live performances of this song
Also, TUNA IN THE BRINE is a must see from them. Great song

This was in Brazil.. we're lucky
The song that you're trying to recall is called tomorrow and was on their first album titled frogstomp
Diorama is amazing!
“Tomorrow” is the song you were thinking of. Loved this band! Yes, I saw them live several times in Australia, they were amazing. Sadly the band is no longer together.
Rock in Rio this show was made, Brazil.

Brings back back to 6th and 7th Grade in 1997
Frogstomp is a great album for the time...
Their first album came out in the early 99’s right after the grunge movement so they were one of the contemporary bands inspired by the grunge scene
I subbed straight for your sick singing at the start salute from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thanks Shane!
I was there! Best show ever!
The vocals he did on this live version are insane. The studio version is much better. I liked their heavier stuff like “Pure Massacre” and “Israel’s Son”, but “Emotion Sickness” and “Ana’s Song” are very special as well.
The best show live
Get it, Espi! I haven't heard this in forever! 🤘 Only those a certain age will remember Tiny Tim (remember when he married "Miss Vicki" on The Tonight Show???)....tip-toe through that SILVER COAT, darling!! 😸
lmao the first 3 seconds convinced me subscribe. "Wait 'till tomorrow..."
The only other word I know from the Fat Boy song is “tomorrow”. When I hear the song over years, I always think of that Mad Max movie with Mel Gibson for some reason.
Beyond Thunderdome?
They were still teenagers when this song came out on their second album

Hay react to DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG - Where The Angels Fly
Another song he helped with is -rapper 360, impossible, the vid clip is awesome. Daniels other good songs are preach and aerial love.
Tomorrow
Newcastle Nsw Australia
Great band, first two albums are really good,, Shane l think it’s time for some more classic Canadian Thrash, how about ReAnimation by Sacrifice from Toronto ? Love your channel my man ! 🤘👍⚡️🎸🍺🍺👍👍
You got it my friend, gonna do it for ya, coming soon! 🤘🤘

sounds like almost a Nivervana type tone

Sounded like slipknot, scissor sisters , and just him 😂
It's "Wait til.." not too

Agreed
I totally agree it should have. Freak is a banger

I just lost all respect in one video, nm i lost respect for them after freak lol Frogstomp was fire.

@@MrZZsharka I could give a Fuck about his sexual orientation, I’m talking about the vocals, he went into some weird spot.

Pretty cool song. Fucking terrible performance.
