  ~*INTRO*~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey, it's time for another issue of silverchair freaks! Wow, it's almost been 30 issues, which is 30 weeks, which means we've been together for about 7 months! Amazing isn't it? Anyway, also this almost being the end of 1997 I thought that with this issue I am going to send out a year end survey, so that you'll have until the week of Christmas/Hanukkah to get your results to me so that for out special year end issue I can have the results posted. Sound good? I hope so! Also, I thougt that since we really have covered most all of the songs after this weeks song which is going to be Shade cause I don't think we ever really talked about that song we're going to insted pick one line from one of silverchair's songs to analize. Alrighty then, keep posting! On with the issue!!

Hey everybody!

Well, I'm really upset right now cause I can't seem to find a copy of my trade list, I believe I lost it when my eudora was updated.. so if any of you have a recent, or any copy of my list please send it to me, I would be very very happy if you would do so.

Has anybody been to any of the summer freak show tour dates on here? I know we have some members from Australia, and if you've been I would love if you'd type up a little review of your show and I'm sure everyone else on the list would love to read them too! I can't get enough of silverchair reviews, info, anything, and if anybody hears any interesting silverchair news please email it to me right away and I'll give you credit in the issue that I talk about it alright? Thanks

Now, last week's quote was:  "The next song's about suicide and um, and if you're still thinking about it, don't do it, because it's fucked." -Daniel

And I 100% agree with Daniel on this, suicide is fucked, and even though I have been though times in my life where I wanted to kill myself or I wanted to die I know how messed up it is, and I know things can get better for you if you wait them out, and I also know what pain it can cause someone you love if you are talking about killing your self.. I know that Daniel recently had a friend who killed himself (i knowthat because he dedicated a song to him at the luna park gig) and I can imagin that Daniel must really be in a lot of pain because of that.. I also think, from some of their songs Daniel himself has been suicidal and I just think that he doesn't want anybody else to die around him.

And last week's question was: what member of silverchair would you most like to be related to? My answer would be Chris. I dunno, I just think he'd be a good brother or something and he seems to be the one that would most fit in with my family... well maybe not as my brother cause I'd probably get jealous of him, maybe it'd be better to have him as a cousin or something, but yeah, it would defonitly be Chris. 

Alright that's it from me this week,
Later,
Heidi

Hi Guys.

I just got the silverchair Freak Box and I don't know what to do with my extra Door single.  I am giving the other 3 singles to one of my friends, but I can't give her the Door single, because she already has it!  So... if anyone wants to buy it off me, for like $8, I'd be happy to send it to you!  It's in perfect condition.  Just write me and let me know and I'll give you my address.  First come, first serve, kay?

Also, I went to a talent show thing in Tinley Park last week at this high school.  There was a kid who looked like he was in about 9th grade with a silverchair shirt on.  His band started playing and they covered silverchair's "Freak."  It sounded kinda empty without a bass player, but other than that, it was pretty good.  I just thought it was kinda cute that they were covering silverchair!

Take care,

Subject: calling all grunge-heads... goodies for

hey guys!

well, i come in peace and not to mention complete desperateness (is that word?) here goes... I used to luve nirvna, hole, pearl jam and stone temple pilots. therefore, i collected alot of goodies on all these bands. since i don't like them that much anymore, i'm selling/trading all the goodies i have. i.e. recordings- audio and video, interviews- audio and video. so if u or anyone u know is interested in any of this stuff, please get back to me. i will send u the list of all the stuff and u can all get back to me. if more than one person wants the same thing then i'd have to duplicate and that may be a hassle so get back to me asap, kay? please, foward this to yer friends that like any of these bands. i'd appreciate it GREATLY! thank u all very much!

Subject: My answers and stuff

Hey all,

Gosh, it's been a while since i've posted...sorry, but sometimes i get so busy with my own zine and stuff that i just forget :(  anywaze, on with post!

I think i would most to be related to Daniel.  I dunno, he just seems like the one i can relate to most, and so i think it would be fun to have him as a cousin or something.  I would also get him to teach me some of his guitar tricks and techniques cuz i think he rocks.  Plus, he's the most logical one, considering i have blond hair and big blue eyes too :)

I think that there probably is some personal experience behind Daniel's quote about suicide.  So many people consider suicide at some point....i certainly used to.  But then when my ex-boyfriend threatened me with suicide i realized how it can hurt the people who love and care about you.  i get the feeling that Daniel has experienced that horrible pain first hand, and would never want to see other people go thru it.

Well, sorry this post was so dreary, but hey, i can't help it ;)

bye...and keep rockin'

Subject: first post! yeah!

hey! ok i've been on this list for awhile, and lately i am feeling the urge to post on every list that i belong to! yeah! hehe! ok! i'm a little hyper right now! yes, amanda me and kelly have been waiting VERY patiently for the freak box! hehe! even though i already have all the stuff that's on it! i have the interview disk taped, but i want the actual cd. oh and i am getting the ABC recovery show. so if anyone is interested in getting it, email me personnally and we can work out a trade! ok about the question for this week: i would probably want to be related to ummm...i don't know! any of them, they seem so nice and cool, that they would be cool brothers and stuff. so any of them would be fine with me! about the quote, i think that daniel was a little depressed/sad during this concert. cause he said during suicidal dream (or was it faultline?!) that his friend recently committed suicide. i don't think that he wants to see more and more people killing themselves.
