~*SILVERCHAIR FREAKS*~ #11 07/31/97

~*INTRO*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, as you know it's Wensday night, and that means another issue of ~*SILVERCHAIR FREAKS*~ has come out! Well last week I asked for concert reviews, and also ideas for new sections to add to the list, here's what we came up with:Kate Suggested that we add a feature that has tales of meeting silverchair. I think that's a really cool idea, but I don't know how long that would last as a section. Maybe that could alternate with the news section thing and we could have one post about meeting the chair every week. What do you guys think of that idea? Also Kate had some good topics for desscustion which were: Favorite and least favorite sc video, and what the next single should be. I was also thinking about coming up with a poll for all you members of this list, I think I'll do that sometime soon, and just send it out, so I can maybe get the votes in by next week, depending on when I get the poll ready and everything. Now on with the 11th issue!

Subject: something exciting!
Hey,
Alright so no, this isn't actually anything exciting, but as of now I'm doing pretty crapily(is that a word?) with making up subjects. So anyways, I'm really hyper about silverchair coming to Chicago on September 6th for RockStock, which will feature Veruca Salt and also Helmet. Two other bands I love! So if any of you are going to be there, let me know and we can try and work something out k?
Um, whatelse.. well I'm going to use this time to talk about "Roses" well, this is one of my favorite songs off of Freak Show, but I think I've said that about like almost everysong that we've talked about, b'oh well. Anyways, I do in some of the lines relate to this song, because I think that it's like in some ways like wanting to get away from the crap in life, and feeling really depressed and suicidal stuff, but then at the end with the "But I won't fall down" part, it kinda gives me hope, and a feeling like 'I can survive all this shit' which makes me feel better.

Christy: The five singles Daniel was talking about that were off of frogstomp, I believe were: "Tomorrow" "Pure Massacre" "Israel’s Son" "Shade"(which was released as at lest an ep, and I think a video, but only in Australia) and "Findaway" (I think that was released as a little promo single thingie or something) Am I right Daniel?

Alright gotta go!
Later

Hidily Ho everybody....
.......so it's my first time I write for this 'zine and I want to say "hi" to everybody. I'm TOTALLY into Silverchair. I couldn't live without them. ;) There are times where I feel very bad then I listen to Frogstomp or Freak Show and I feel better. Those 3 aussies take me in another world!!! Unfortunately I've never been to any concert of them. Argh!! I wanted to go to their concert in Berlin in February, but unfortunately all tickets were sold. This drove me crazy!! Now I've heard that they're opening up for Bush in Berlin on August 19. And I'll be with my friends in Turkey!!!!! I can't believe it. There are only 160 km far away from the place where I live and I won't be able to see them live!!!!!! :( Oh well!! For those of you who don't know me in person I'm from Germany and Silverchair get more and more popular here. Well, there's this stupid teenage zine named BRAVO. Have you heard 'bout this 'zine before? For those of you who have AOL. Just go to keyword and type BRAVO. Well, I don't like this zine b/c they only wrote about Silverchair b/c Daniel looks like Kurt Cobain. And all girls got crazy b/c of Daniel's long blond hair. By the way have you seen him right now??? He got his hair cut - his long blond hair!! I watched it in TV last weekend. I guess only b/c some stupid people always said they're like Nirvana and Daniel act like Kurt. It's not true!!! So what do you think? Are Silverchair like Nirvana?? My favourite song is "Tomorrow" for all time. It was the first song I've heard of them and it took in my mind....it's such a kewl song....ok...guys...i think I'll let you go now....keep in touch! And don't forget Silverchair rule 4-ever!!!!!!!!

Subject: roses!!

Hey everyone!!
Ok, so we're supposed to talk about Roses. It's one of the many songs on Freak Show that I can relate to. The "drained as drained can be; life is gone from me" part is a description of me when I'm depressed. I feel like that all the time, like I'm drained, ya know? And "drained if drained is free; if only i could breathe" sounds like me too, coz sometimes I just wanna get out, have some time to myself, and be able to breathe.
Anyways, Heidi wanted us to send in ideas for what else to put in the newsletter. I think it would be kewl if people sent in quotes from the guys and then we could have like this silverchair quote corner in every issue. if anyone else thinks this is a good idea, then leave me a post!

see ya!!

hi guys =)*

heidi, i totally agree with you that freak was a good single. i've already said that i thought abuse me and cemetery were shitty choices though ;) what does everyone think of the 'slab' remix on the cemetery single? i couldn't believe the song is almost 8 minutes long! has anyone else noticed that for a few months there, silverchair was in almost every magazine on the stands in every issue... and now they aren't in any?!? ;) i just thought i'd point that out...

take care,
christy - punk rawk girly
