Kerrang! - Rock in Rio
(Extracts from Kerrang!)
"The members of silverchair are each just 21 and have played precisely
one concert in the last 12 months. Singer Daniel Johns looks like a
star when he strides on in a jacket covered in tiny mirrors and
launches into 'Israel's Son', but between songs he's a deer in the
headlights, unable to think of anything coherent to say."
"But if you think silverchair playing two spots up from the Deftones is
incongruous, think again. During 'Anthem For The Year 2000', a
multitude that matches the population of the boys' home city of
Newcastle starts singing before Daniel does. 'Freak' inspires one of
the biggest mass-pogo orgies in human history, and Australia's biggest
resident rock star leaves his guitar wailing in front of his amp as he
departs, leaving new songs 'Hollywood' and 'One Way Mule' hanging in
the air."
