~*INTRO*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to this issue of silverchair freaks! I hope this time you all will beable to see it, i'm also trying out my new address book so I hope this all works out. First of all I wanted to let you know that I won't beable to put out issue #26 until the 29th of this month because I'll be in conneticut visting my bestfriend at boarding school. So this issue will not only have the song of the week and the news section, but it will also have the question of the week and the quote. So I am hoping to see a lot more posts then the useual three we get here alright guys? And also this weeks chat I mentioned last week isn't going to happen because, well I really don't have to time and I didn't give you enough notice ahead of time. But maybe sometime soon we can have a chat that has a lot of planing done to it so we can all try and make it, sound good? Alright that's it! Now on with the list!

~*NEWS*~
Well there really isn't that much new to put out this week. On Monday, the 10th Chris Joannou turned 18 years old and he became the last of them to be legal. Now they can basicly do whatever they want. Within reason that is:) And I believe the box set that everyone on the FML has been talking about for so long will be coming out on Monday, but only in Australia and in Canada. But I might be wrong on that given I don't live in either of those places, so if I'm wrong don't get mad at me! silverchair, as always are in this month's new Circus magazine so check it out. That's it for news!

Subject: what's in your head?

Hey everybody, Alright well like the subject line inspiered by Minor Threat says, "what's in your head?" I wanna know! Send in posts! No one will bitch at you hopefully.. i just wanna know what you guys think, and who knows there might be someone on here that thinks what you do! Alright now that I've said that I'm going to move on to the question of the week which was, would you ever want to meet silverchair.. my answer is HELL YEAH! but the reason I asked that while it may seem stupid to some of you guys is that i was listening to this song by Lush called "Heavenly Nobodys" and it's kinda about how you shouldn't want to meet your heros and stuff because if you do you'll be dissapointed. There's a line in the song that says "If you want heros keep them safe, they don't stand up to you. Believe me it's a fantisy you won't like the reality" And while I love that song, and agree with it in some points I think I do know enough about Ben, Chris and Daniel to say I would like to meet them, and I think we'd get along. I mean even though I don't know them personally, I feel like I do.. and they just seem like really great guys! and normal too.. besides for the fact they are extreamly talented but that's really the only thing that makes them diffrent from you and me. Anyway in short my answer is yes. And about the quote.. I think Ben is saying that they are just normal guys and they aren't about to change anymore drasticly then anyother 'normal' person. And that they aren't going to listen to anybody who's telling them what to do, that they are just going to do whatever they want. That's it!

Subject: time goes by too slowly, yet it seems like it's already gone.....

hello peoples! well, i haven't been able to see the list lately, but i'm hoping that this week i can read it again cuz i miss it! so anywayz, after heidi ever so kindly gave me a rundown of the last issue, i am going to post my thoughts (i know you are overjoyed! but please, contain yerself!):

ok, i was at the chat, but nobody came! <-- hahaha, silverchair song!!! not that i saw anywayz.... but i did come back later that nite, and noticed no one still ('cept heidi). hopefully the next chat that is organized will be more successful.
anywayz, i have ICQ, and heidi was talking 'bout that, so if any of yas wanna message me or something, feel free cuz i can never have enough chairlovers on my list! my ICQ# is 1729692.
that quote: i guess daniel will always be daniel, even though he has changed A LOT over the past few years, he still seems like the same old daniel to chris and ben right? and he'll always seem like the same old daniel to me too, cuz daniel is change.
the question 'would i ever want to meet silverchair', well the answer is yes!! i think it would be very cool to meet them and chat with them, ya know, cuz i just think they kick ass so much! i'd probably tell them how much they've changed my life (for the better) and that without them nothing would be the same. they rock!!

Laterz!

Hi silverchair people!
This is my first post. I thought i'd finally participate in this letter. I guess i'm writing to respond to the Ben quote about people changing in silverchair. I really don't think that anyone should get hung up on whether or not people should or should not change. Change isn't good or bad it's just something that happens. Obviously they're going to change because everyone is constantly changing, and last time i looked they were human too :) I'm glad to hear that Daniel, Chris, and Ben don't listen to people who say what they think should happen in silverchair's lives. As long as you're happy as a person which they all seem to be then just live life and have fun. Change will happen on it's own. So anyway, just to make this all...um...shorter..My thoughts are that as long as silverchair doesn't turn into a rap group, country trio, become a bunch of dickheads, or start killing people then i will always continue to buy and support their music. I just hope that they all are happy and are having fun with what they're doing. 'Nuf said

Subject: my opinions and stuff....

Hey all!

It's been a while since i posted sorry:( And also sorry 'bout not coming to tha chat, but my mom got mad at me a while ago and exercised the 'ole parental controls, so I couldn't get into the chat room :*( Well, on with the silverchair stuff:

As for the quote, i think it's very interesting. Can you imagine how hard it would be to be Silverchair? that quote really shows you how hard it must be for them to please everyone. Of course all their friends and family want them to stay the same teenage guys that they are, but then a lot of the public expects them act more like the stereotypical "rock stars." I think it's great that they want to stay the same and aren't really letting the fame go to their heads. I think they realize how lucky they are and in what a great positin they are in.....I think they also know that letting your head swell up too much can ruin your fun :)

Now, for the question. Would I ever want to meet Silverchair? My answer is: Do bees like honey? Does the sun rise and set everyday? Do exams suck? OF COURSE i'd love to meet them! In fact, if i had the opportunity to meet any rockers i wanted to, it would have to be them because they seem so down to earth. I feel like they would treat the me the same as anyone else instead of looking down on me. though i doubt i'll ever get to meet them---hey i can always dream!

That's it for me now! ciao all!

**************************************************************************** ~*THE CLOSING*~
And now finally welcome to the closing.. this week I was happy to have 4 posts! but I would love to have more! And anyway, next week's song will be Spawn now that we all have the real lyrics, or at least a lot of them, I thought we should disscus this song again! The question is what was the stupidist inturpritation you ever heard or ever thoguht of sc's lyrics? and the quote is "um, oh fuck, this is uh...love you too...who's here and who's wild? Ben wants to know who's wild" It's from a concert and it's by Daniel. What do you think about it? What do you think he was trying to say? Alright that's it! and see you in two weeks! POST!!
Later,
Heidi
