If I had to pick between Silverchair and the Back Street Boys, I'd pick Silverchair. However, there are way too many metal bands out there to waste my time listening to Silverchair.

This site is called Ultimate Metal, so most people here like to listen to metal. You must be at the beginning of your "journey in metal". Don't get too discouraged by our remarks. Most people find that as they learn more and more about metal, all the "pop" stuff, like Silverchair, seem to fade away and eventually become written off as crap. That doesn't make them a terrible band. Just not a metalhead's cup of tea. . .

Back now...hopefully
not all of a sudden
it has always been the only thing
if you mentioned a less shit band than silverchair we would probably consider on having another opinion

Well, I just recently purchased the albums and they are VERY different from neo-grunge shit as nickelback, staind and so forth. I think u dislike the band because you've only heard Ana's song or Anthem for the year 2000?? What makes Silverchair shitty??
I've listened to metal for ten years. But I will never cast away other types of rock music wich can be just as rewarding. Example: Smashing Pumpkins was an alternative rock band with a few hard rockers in their playlist, making them a far more complex band than for example Machine Head, Anthrax, Slayer etc.
Don't tell me you don't like Led Zeppelin, Queen or even Pearl Jam because it's not heavy and because its not primarily loved by a minority as heavy is!!! Sure I like that I have and love a lot of music that most people don't even know exists, but just because Opeth or Katatonia doesn't sell that much doesn't make them better than the bands that does...
My point is: It is kinda narrowminded and it's like you're rinding the hype backwards!! "Oh... this is cool! They played it in the radio! THREW IT AWAY!!!"
Don't dismiss the everlasting joy of having 'guilty pleasures'...
So I guess you now hate bands like Anathema, Theatre of Tragedy and Katatonia for going soft?!?!?!?!!?!?
wankers...

Tool sells a lot of albums, but I don't dismiss them. I like music that challenges me and strives for something new and enlightening. Smashing Pumpkins was good. However, I feel like that particular brand of music doesn't interest me anymore. Silverchair never did. I like bands that are good no matter how many albums they sell. It's obvious to me that you are still interested in simple minded music that has been done before. All the classic rock you mentioned was good and innovative at the time, but do you consider Silverchair on that level? I hope not. Let's get things straight: Silverchair, Puddle of Mud, Alien Ant Farm, etc. are all babies of the grunge and nu-metal innovaters. Alice in Chains, Korn, and Nirvana were all smart enough to not follow the footsteps of Motley Crue, Metallica, and Megadeth. That is why we will remember a band like Alice in chains in 20 years and not Puddle of Mud. By the way, I know what your response will be . . .
It's interesting to write something which has already been written in your mind... It's almost scary! I'm glad to hear you don't dismiss Tool and the other innovative bands you've mentioned. I admit that Silverchair may not be the most creative band on earth, but they're still a guilty pleasure for me. They are young about 21 years old and have already established themselves. They are not genre-defining, but they could be, they have at least 10 years to make a difference, and they've certainly got more talent than most other neo-grunge bands.
'nuff said about Silverchair
npearce - You're not such a die hard metalhard as firstly hinted.
"It's obvious to me that you are still interested in simple minded music that has been done before"
AHHAHA... You remind me so much of one of my best friends. If it isn't Kurosawa it isn't worth waisting time on?
I admit that my favourite directors are Lynch and Kubrick but I still think that Kevin Smiths flick are fucking funny. I love complex, beautiful guitar-riffs, but I can settle for The Verve Pipe or Eels for a few moments of peace and relaxment. Substance is found where your feelings are at that particular moment!
I'm not trying to make you all like Silverchair. I'm not trying to make you open-minded about music in general. I can't accomplish the impossible..
Now, I wanna know; Was that how you thought my reply would be???

Wow! I thought you were going to tell me I am a genius and should start my own metalsite. That's a joke.
I am not a metalhead in the sense that I think you are thinking. I like things like Shadows Fall and Lamb of God on the new American side, Immortal and Emperor on the Norwegian side, Arch Enemy on the Swedish side, Akerkocke and Anaal Nathrakh on the new British side, and Old Man Gloom and Atomsmasher on the more experimental side. One of my fovorite albums right now is Khanate. I know that probably seems like a typical metalhead, but have you heard bands like Khanate, Atomsmasher, and Old Man Gloom? I also like Jazz, long walks on the beach, and I am a scorpio. Oh wait . . .
