DANIEL:

- " All guys back in the snack bar, get your asses out here and mosh! Food is Bad, unless your anorexic... food is good!"
-" We're hangin', chillin', wearin' bathrobes!"
-" I remember 1995, that was the year I found out Star Trek wasn't real!"
-" Yeah, Max Factor! It increases our eyelashes by 200%. Don't use it, but we're gonna cause it's cool!"
-" We have a new album, it's not very good. You won't like it!"
-" Ben wears lipstick!"
-" That's a silly question, (Is it easier to get a girlfriend being in a band?) I'm not even gonna bother. I'm just going to say " nope". I have a rock melon anyway, I don't need a girlfriend!"
-" I cried, I fell down. I was on the ground then the people that pierced me started kicking me!"
(Joking about the time he got his 2nd brow ring)
-"I hope I don't go to jail. I hope I don't get raped!" ( concerning the Santa Monica incident where he was arrested)
-" It's awesome! It drives great. Looks good, has a radio that works, a sunroof, power windows, handles well in the sand...It''s a chick magnet!! What else is there to say?" ( Talking about the car he test drove on the beach at Santa Monica, but let's just forget that!)
-" Grunge is just a stupid word for alternative!" he growls
-" Last time I was in Santa Monica, we played a show right over there and I got hit in the head with a bottle. I'm cursed in Santa Monica!" ( Same story as above)
While playing in Manilla, Philippines, Daniel sang;" Man-nil-la tastes like vanilla, someone tried to kill her cos' she stole my pillar!" Then said " That was a song called Manilla, about this girl I picked up round the corner for 15 dollars!". ( REALLY, DAN!)
-" When you(we) get in arguments like we often do you're always out numbered: Ben& Chris vs. Daniel!"
- " We don't have any style to cramp!"
-" We were test driving a car for this magazine and we were supposed to drive it in the car park (parking lot) but it was boring and we saw the beach and it looked inviting so...we drove on it and got in trouble. (Was there a day in jail?) "No, I just went there and these policemen looked at me and made me scared."
-"-Sorry Ben, I love you!"
-" Ben's got a fixation with females , me & Chris are trying to hold him back but he's an ANIMAL!!!!
-" If I wasn't in our band, I'd hate us just to be cool!"
-" When we're 25, we'll be big skinhead bastards & no one will be messing with us after that cause we'll be so hardcore!"
-" We're going on tour with TLC"
-" We are the rave revival band we're gonna bring back the rave!"
-"Country and Western huhuhuhuhu"
- "we pick up different instruments & Gillies screams into a microphone & we go 1,2,3 ( make druming noises) it's pretty cool! "
- " who's the fuckwit that threw the water bomb at me? I jsut happen to be allergic to water, knobjockey!"
-" i am Cornholio...who here is sexy? fuck you're quiet! YEAH YEAH YEAH!"
-"put your hands up if you're a jock. Yeah, jocks , we salute you. All right, put your hands up if you're a grunge cadet. All right, the grunge cadest win so far! Put your hands up if you're a fuckwit. Ah, we have many a fuckwit in the house. i didn't say it, you did! Um...put your hands up if you're homosexual. Yeah Gay pride! I'm not... i'm bi, cause that's the cool thing to be .... cause bisexual is cool. If you'll try anything then you're trisexual, Oh sorry!
-" As long as you keep waking through the crowd you're okay!" ( i'll remember that Daniel!)
-" I'm gonna lie, we're pretty much computer illiterate, all of us. My brother's really into the computer, I just can't understand it. I like looking at it when my brother's doign it, but i'm just not smart enough!"
-" Yeah, it's an engagement ring! ( new meaning his brow ring at the time)Tim proposed to me! [Tim from YTV]"
-" Um, not really ' cause it was for all the right reasons, ya know, all in the name of love ( for tim)" When asked did getting his brow pierced hurt
-" You can always trust your dog, you know why they love you & why they respond to you, probably cause you feed them!"
-" Chris is growing his hair again because he looks too tough, he gets too many comparaisons to Henry Rollins."
-" We're are big on compromise ... as long as we win out in the end!"
-" I found out about a month ago when i turn 18 i'm going to be on tour with my dad, so i'm going to get my dad to buy me a bunch of alcohol and get drunk in front of him!" ( nice kid!)
-"All we did in music class was tap wood sticks together!"
-" I like to piss on ducks when i'm bored"
-" All right, are you ready to hear the story about my silver guitar? Um, it's broken &... wanna know how it broke? This army of prawns attacked our tour bus -- WAIT! It's not finished! Shut Up! Shut up, I haven't finised ye! Do you wanna hear what the prawns did or not?Yeah?All right, these prawns took my guitar & started playing um, various national anthems... to 50,000 people before torching the guitar & um disposing the strings around a young giraffe's neck.The girrafe died,unfortunately,from being strangled & the army of prawns lived happily ever after. Thanks."
-"This is fucking rock and roll, ROCK WILL NEVER DIE!"
-"this song is new but not as new as the others" commenting on their oldest song, tomorrow!
-"We like to change guitars alot cause it makes us look like we are rich, we aren't rich we just look rich".
-" it's a french akidna, like on the bottom it's an animal, iit just sits in that pot all day and takes in the music"

Chris

-" It's the two timing rock melon!" ( Nevermind, I thought it was funny though!)
-" You see...my vocal cords only allow me 2 hours of talking a day so I kind of have to limit it!" responding to the question : why doesn't he talk as much as Daniel?
-" Send us to bed and wake us up in 10 hours!"
-" We're doing the video for our second single freak and we're all butt naked!"
- " No glossy photos!"
-" Could someone please get Ben a date?- -he's gettin' frisky!"
-" My best dish is 2 minute noodles!"
- " Don't be a dumbass and step outside naked cause your friends will lock you out. Trust me, i know from experience!"
-" No , I want to give ben a mohawk. I reckon he'd have the best mohawk if we cut that!"
_" Just get up and go you know. Don't have to worry about having a big mangled knot in the back of your head, just waking up with bedhead and stuff like that, you know!"
- (What's the worst thing about being Chris from silverchair?) "Well probably the wax build-up that i get in my ears! good one chris!!
- Question: How was Dan coping with the burden of all the writting,chris replied "Pretty good by the looks of things. I don't think it seems to affect him or anything, he's still alive!" read on for the rest of the conversation!
- The reportor replied well he's pretty intense in the photos! so chris said "well you've got to understand that's just his lovely features! " HA HA HA
-" Ben's got amajor leak in his ass"
-"Style, i suppose we're different people, Ben is tidy. Danie is happy go lucky and i'm in between".

BEN
-" Sorry, there's no gossip! Next time I come to Canada, I'll be on the look out and I'll try and find a girl!"
-" I worship Jon Bonham. But he's kind of dead."
-" You don't realize the lack of sleep we've had!"

-" Darker music turns you into a hardcore mother fucker!" ( My personal fave!)
-" Trust me , you don't want to hear that!" When asked when we will hear him and Chris sing.
-" We already do waterfalls actually, we put the make up under our eye and everything, no i'm just kidding!"
-" Yeah, we're staying clear of llama's!"
-" Yeah Everclear came on and we did an encore... & we played Paranoid and um, the guys from everclear sang it & when they came on they brought this like blow-up doll & it had a banana in one it's three, uh love entrances"
-" 10 years from now i'll probably be an accountant or something, maybe a rocket scientist, that's what i'm aiming for. I've got a few degrees, i'm actually going to YALE, yeah i'm pretty intellectual, yeah. YOu know whatever you call it!"

-" Sometimes Daniel always says how muscley he is; being very sarcastic cuz he's like a puny bastard- mega skinny. You know how if you're right handed your right arm is stronger them your left? His right arm-he's got a bit of muscles there- but his left,there's nothing there; just skin& bone. So he always walks around & says " yeah, i'm pretty muscley aren't i?" He picks fights with me and Chris , but we always show him who's boss." THAT'S SO SILLY!
-" Life's a bitch and so am i so get used to it!"
-" That's Chris and Daniel , not me! They love them alot. They have sex with them on a regular basis!" (QUESTION : HOW ARE YOUR DOGS?)
- " This is ben from silverchair...use a latex condom don't be stupid"

- Ben "Okay,Okay!"

Question: have you gotten any sort of indication back from the American record company what they're expecting this time around?
- Daniel " they said they're expecting round 52 million didn't they
-Ben " Yeah, i think so."

They come up on stage & --WAIT!SHUT UP! You've gotta hear first what you gotta do & then you might change your mind!
