It seems unreal to think “Freak” by Silverchair dropped 25 years ago . I remember watching the video on MTV and Much Music and watching as the band silenced all the “Nirvana rip off” comparisons with this song and the record “Freak Show” as well.
To be honest, being a young aspiring drummer myself at the time, Silverchair really messed me up. I was 15 and NOT famous yet?? Silverchair had set the standard and I was a failure in my young mind. Haha. Looking back what a time to be a teenager. Music was thriving and Silverchair were on of the best bands around. I only saw them live once in 1999 and when they played this myself and the entire crowd went nuts. Happy 25 years to such a rad song and I keep seeing Daniel Johns teasing possible more Silverchair in the future on his Instagram. It most likely won’t happen, but 13 year old me can forever dream. Happy 25 “Freak”!
