Members version Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 So I managed to snag tickets to see Silverchair in NYC on February 12th. I'm pretty stoked, since I've been listening to those guys since elementary school and haven't seen them live yet. Chris Joannou is definitely one of my big early influences on bass, so that should be cool. Have any of you guys seen them before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 They are still around??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members version Posted January 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Yeah, they have a new album coming out in a few months. Their last album came out in 2002, but they didn't do much touring because their singer/guitarist had some crazy rare joint disease thing and couldn't really move at all. In fact, I think this is their 3rd U.S. show in the last 6 years or something crazy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members james on bass Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Not a real fan, but I did cover one of their tunes a few years ago and it was a fun tune to play. Is his medical condition cured, or is it a line-up change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members version Posted January 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I don't know that much about the details, but as far as I know it took a year or so for him to be able to play again. It's still the same lineup, but they've added a touring keyboard player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Last I heard, Daniel Johns was an anorexic that almost died. Perhaps that's what led to his joint disorder... I saw a picture of him a few years ago and he was like 85lbs...I'm glad he's doing better, they were a promising band back in the day...
