It all depends on what you think rock is. If you think that rock is an
angry person screaming the lyrics and sounding like crap rather than being
mellow and wanting to express the songs so people understand and sound good
at the same time... then no, silverchair do not rock. I remember when
Daniel used to scream lyrics and sound like a moron and he completely ruined
the whole song when he did it - for me anyway. I say Daniel would rather
give someone goosebumps when he/she listens to his songs rather than give
headaches. We can't be 14 forever. I've not seen silverchair on stage
lately, so I don't know if they go up there and just lightly swing side to
side or anything, but what about this. Coldplay went to an awards show and
had an entire orchestra backing them up while playing "Clocks". Their songs
aren't of the rock persuasion, but ask anyone who saw that performance on TV
or live. They'll tell you it ROCKED. I seriously just think you chose the
wrong words. Silverchair still rock, in my opinion, they're just more
MELLOW. P.S. people say that silverchair are maturing because it takes a
lot of musical maturity to have so many different arranged instruments in
one song rather than just picking up a guitar/bass/ and playing some drums.
