The bands we admired we're groups that made great album after great album. That's what groups like Led Zeppelin did. I'm certainly not comparing us to them in any way -- but they were an influence. You have to learn from your influences, and I think we have. We want to be doing this ten years from now -- maybe even 20 years from now. We know how important every album is. We're not just a bunch of kids anymore -- we're a rock and roll band that people expect some great things from.

When we were in Townsville we had a day off so we decided to go to Magnetic Island for the day. We hired some mopeds and went burning around the island. While burning up one hill that had some gravel, I lost control of my front wheel and then it was all over, I went arse over tit. The bike was wrecked.

I like girls, they make me feel funny. That's why I like Daniel, he's a femme. He makes me feel funny.

Darker music turns you into a hardcore motherfucker!

Anyway, we're looking at a career of being wankers.

I'm not joking. Does anyone want a date?

I think that last time, a lot of people thought that we were just a one-shot wonder. This album is basically gonna shove it in their faces and say' look you fuckers, we're here to stay.'

I really don't know. His lyrics are pretty out there. Daniel's lyrics are pretty personal. They are mostly personal things, and I don't really know what they are all about. All of us are a band and I still don't have a clue what the hell he's on about! But I don't care. I like his lyrics and I think they are really good. I don't think it's the happiest stuff in the world. It's like in some of the songs, it's got dark music as well as the dark lyrics.

I heard that too mate, and I'm not really happy about it.

Well there was one day Daniel was walking down the street, this guy looked at him, then I looked at johns and he started crying. I put my arm around him. I, you know, I lent a shoulder. I'm just joking.

How's this? I taught my best friend how to seduce my husband!
Ben Gillies Silverchair -
I was only joking, I'm 16. It is pretty cool that you believed me that I was 18. Actually, I was joking again, I'm 10.

Practice makes perfect, and we've been getting a lot of practice. We're not perfect yet, though.

I really don't take any notice of girls in the audience. I really don't. I just play. I've got a shit view anyway. A couple of cymbals. I can't see jack.

Before we go on stage, all we really do is warm up usually... do some stretches, and drink something that makes you hyper like coke -- plenty, heaps and heaps of coke -- or just caffeine.

Life's a bitch, and so am I. So get used to it.

A guy asked me what I'd do if I got a boner in the classroom, and had to stand up in front of the class. I said, "I don't know!" I thought it was funny, though.
Ben Gillies Silverchair -
Most people think that being in a band is like, "Woah", just touring around and having fun and cocktails...
Ben Gillies Silverchair -
I like it kinky.

Aw..C'mon.. This has gone a bit too far now, don'tcha think?
Ben Gillies Silverchair -
Daniel is definitely not gay!
Ben Gillies Silverchair -
Awwww.... I'm not trying to be punk....I just like it... mohawks are cool...when, when you like first get it done it's a bit of a shock... but other than that...yeah i like it...
