Silverchair...Bigger Posers than Bush!!!
William Allen
I'm sure someone will agree with me about this.
I don't think Abuse Me sounds like Rape Me but I do think the words
are very related.Silverchair seems to take words from one of the
Nirvana songs amd then put them with a riff from another song.And I
think the name Silverchair could possibly come from SLIVER with the L
and I reversed then just add chair to it.

definitely see the Nirvana-like lyrics in it. There's a line: "I don't
think you like me/Well I hate you as well" which sounds entirely too much
like Nirvana's "I'm so ugly/but that's OK so are you." Whatever,

You know, calling someone a poser sounds so fucking stupid.

Save, save your friends,
Find, find your place,
Speak, speak the truth.

yeah man, i agree. just kidding. i think that's crap. silverchair have
talent and some originality. Bush do not. Bush has a formula for their
songs structure. silverchair does not (Listen to the new record). I
personally don't think silverchair lifts lyrics from Nirvana songs.
"abuse me" could be more clever than you may think it to be. A song about
critics making fun of them and not giving them a chance (calling them
Nirvana rip-offs) that contains some lyric that critics would just go
after, like you did there. silverchair are turning into less of a grunge
band. In fact, silverhchair are no longer a "grunge" band. calling them
bigger posers than Bush is ridiculous. How many times have you heard
timpani on a nirvana record? What about a sitar? hmm..ZERO. Who uses a
jag-stang, the guitar built for Kurt? Gavin. Daniel uses PRS and Gibson
guitars. There are only 2 parts of the record that should be compared to
Nirvana: the aforementioned and "Lie To Me". Everyone seems to see their
age and Daniel's hair and just go off. The music industry is much less
mature than you would think it to be....

Yeah, Silverchair is pretty derivative music, but they're a young band.
Most young bands haven't developed they're own style yet. Also,
Silverchair will be the first to tell you that Nirvana is a favorite
band of theirs, and you don't see the little fuckers acting like they're
the next big thing in music or anything. The guys in Bush have been
around awhile, and IMHO, their music sounds more calculated and
contrived than Silverchair's.
Interesting idea as to where the name came from. At least its more
creative than naming yourselves after lousy brand of beer. Oh yeah, I
forgot, Bush named themselves after the town they came from. Whoa.
Guess a name says alot about a band. All I know is that the local
white-trash rock station in my area gets off on the band because they
think the name is a sexual reference.
Would all these crappy bands be coming out if Cobain were still alive?
I don't think so. He would be making new music, and bands would try to
copy it, but Nirvana would have moved on to even different music by
then. Sort of like the Beatles. Nobody could copy them because they
were moving so fast. You had the Monkeys, but by the time they got the
sound down, the Beatles already moved on to making psychedelic music.

Bush means several different things in Britian, for instance, it is a
term for bud or so I've heard. Silverchair got there name from Sliver
and Berlin Chair. They were going to call in to a radio station and
request these songs and were going to write "sliver" and "chair" for
short so that they could remember. One of mispelled sliver and it read
silverchair and it stuck. They also said they don't really like Nirvana
that much and thought they were and OK band. They remind me much more of
Helmet, Tool, and Soundgarden. They really love Helmet and Tool.

I saw in a silverfish interview a couple of years back now that they
got there name from two of their favourite bands.. Alice in chains and
Nirvana .....
The silver came from Sliver (??? stupid as that is) and the chair came
from Alice's "Angry chair" ....
I know that much about them! : o )
Michael Sabell
Hey, you're right. The name silverchair (yup, spelt with a lowercase 's')
actually came about when Daniel and (I think) Ben were sitting around,
listening to Triple J and wanting to request songs. Daniel wanted to hear
'Angry Chair' by Alice In Chains, and Ben wanted 'Sliver' by Nirvana. So
they wacked the two names together, as 'sliverchair', but someone
misspelled it so it ended up 'silverchair'.

Was it Angry Chair? My sister's a big fan and she said it was Berlin
Chair by somebody, don't remember who. I've seen the tape she has of the
interview, but it's not a very good tape and it's kinda hard to
understand with the Aussie accent.
Saras Naidoo
Well, actually silverchair got their name from 2 nirvana songs.
They are sliver and chair both by Nirvana. I know this because they said in
Guitar World when they listened to the 2 songs it helped them come up with
the name silverchair ( they thought sliverchair sounded retarded). Check
out the interview in GW.
In my opinion they kind of copied Pearl Jam in Frogstomp and now Nirvana.
They copy Nirvana mostly because of how in Slave they kind of let the
lyrics drag along.

silverchar are just crap and if you want to know the long list of
reasons why check out the "I hate silverchair pages" done by some aussie
named grum at www.iap.net.au/~grum/main.html. theyre also a real good
laugh and will help all their misinformed fans realize what kind of
poser crud the sony corperation are passing of as music. Oh yeah, did
anyone else ot there realize that grunge has been dead for 4 years now
and all that is being passed off as grunge is the same as mainstream new
wave and metal in the 80's, and nirvana was too poppy(in the good
way).except on bleach, to be "grunge",

Hate pages are the stupidest things I have ever seen. They are a
complete waste of time because you are spending time working on something
you have no interest in. One of my friends started to make a Pearl Jam
hate page a few weeks ago and he quit because he realized how stupid they
are.

In Silverchair's Freakshow album, there is a song called "Lie to Me",
which if you listen carefully, is a complete rip-off of Nirvana's
Tourette's.
Jag-Stang Hero
Yup!!! And "Roses" has a Familliar "Nevermindish" edge to it,
Silverchair is starting to really bug me because they are starting to
sound more like Nirvana, but they are wearing off their "Oh they're just
a young band" excuse.

grunge was dead in 93', I hardly think so! Grunge still hasn't died,
dying maybe, and at a fast rate, but it still has a pulse. And so
Bleach was the only Nirvana grunge album eh? I highly doubt that, all
of them were, and even if they weren't "grunge" in your opinion, it was
still great music.

I don't think that is a quote from Kurt
and while we are talking about Silverchair......if anyone listens to
Helmet's new album they will find out that Helmet is their true
influence.....it is an exact replica of Silverchair's style of heaviness
on many of their songs.....I don't think Silverchair has enough talent
to warrant superstar status but then again they are young....people
think that since they came out with Tomorrow (an above average song)
that they are this new standard in alt/rock music.......I think the
closest Silverchair came to Nirvana is on the song Lie to Me on their
new album.....

THEY r 17, how many bands do you know that at 17 didn't 'copy'
another song. If u listen to a song like it then write on at 17 it
gonna be kinda similar (in my opinion, not that that's worth much
but..)

like Nirvana, I don't hear it. I've yet to hear a Silverchair song that
me go like "that sounds like Nirvana." There first album sounded a lot
like Pearl Jam to me though and couple like the Smashing Pumpkins.

Didn't the lead singer say SHE was a lesbian?The drummer sort of
reveals Dave.Has anyone seen when Silverchair has demolition at the
end?They do every move Nirvana does like running into drums,standing
in front of the amps having feedback with the guitar.

I don't think you are listening hard enough Brian.
Brian Davis
not there. You people just don't know how it works, when a band does an
interview they ask them what they listen to or who are there
influences. They take the most popular bands and say they sound like
this band. People hear this and believe it. Even Dave Grohl says the
only band he hears that really sounds like Nirvana is Bush. Tell me
what song on Frogstomp sounds like Nirvana? None. Although I can see
where some might say that Lie To Me on Feak Show sounds some what like
Nirvana. But only the lyrics do to me, the riff sound like the Sex
Pistols.
