new Silverchair album

[seasoned_chicken]

woah, big change from the last couple, alot more of the orchestral songs like emotion sickness from the neon ballroom and cemetry from freak show. Its a pretty damn good album all over, anyone else got it yet?

[Slasher]

I've heard their new single, Greatest View. It's ok, it does seem to be very Neon Ballroom style. But I prefer their heavier sounding stuff. But I'll probably check it out at some point in time.

[seasoned_chicken]

yea, personally i also like their heavier stuff, but they have gone alot happier and stuff, so if you're really into their heavier stuff, theres only 2 songs on the whole CD that are like that.

[THE_HACK_PACK]

The lead singer must have beat or tamed that weight loss,anorexia thing if the songs are sounding upbeat.Well good for them,they've lasted this long,they should be around for a while then.

[PonyOne]

Yeah, he did the little vegan thing that's obligitory for all of today's young celebs, maybe he got over it... i gotta hand it to him though, he was a lot nicer about it than most people are.

[seasoned_chicken]

hes actually a pretty screwed guy, they hadda cancel a gig in Tasmania becoz hes got a virus which causes temporary arthritus, and his joints and stuff all swelled up and he couldnt walk or even hold a guitar!!!
Poor man..

I remember back in 95-'96,these guys had their parents on the tours with them.So what happened,come '99,te kid turns 18 and management stopped feeding him,"dude,if you drop a few more pounds,you'll be stylin".Amazing what can happen when management runs everything,with all his troubles the last few years,and he hasn't even started to Drink or use pills yet,,imagine the possibilities.Let's hope management doesnt steer him down that path.

however wrong this may seem on my part, that would be simply smashing!!!
Can you imagine the lyrics and music he would write in his drugged state?It would be so wicked!
*chants voodoo*

[THE_HACK_PACK]

Ahh the old "Great Art at any price" theory.FAN-TAB-U-LOUS.

[seasoned_chicken]

LOL, well hell, it worked pretty well when he was suffering from depression! =P

[THE_HACK_PACK]

I don't think they even hav drugs i Australia,lol,no wonder everyones depressed.Hell Give the Kid Peyote,right off the Bat.

[seasoned_chicken]

ROFL, the ignorance of some people
*wags finger*
Australia is like the biggest drug haven! After New Years day no ones allowed on the beaches whilst they rake it for needles!
You could only be an American to be that ignorant! =P

[THE_HACK_PACK]

Yeah,I'm a bloody yank,I don't keep track of the drug culture down under,lol. All I ever See our Foster's Beer Comercials.Last I heard the country was still grieving the loss of Men At Work.
Okay,I'm off to research the Aussie culture now.

[seasoned_chicken]

You do that, and while you at it, check out the rest of the world, its quite scary how many yanks think that New Zealand is part of Australia and that people live in mud huts in africa! =P

[THE_HACK_PACK]

New Zealand,,,,hmmmm,,,Well when they filmed "LOrd Of The Rings there",there sure were a lot of huts.
GOLLUM!!!
I heard Yucalyptus is stronger then LSD.

[seasoned_chicken]

LOL, yea, i suppose there would be when LOTR is set in medieval times before high rises!
The leaves do jack(yucalyptis) but do add a nice flavour to a J. But the oil on the other hand is pretty wicked stuff!! It certainly does the job better than most.

I wish that I could get a Holden HSV Maloo in the US... see not all us yanks are ignorant.

[seasoned_chicken]

OMG! Those are the man-est cars ever! HSV Clubsport you probably mean, but at least you know what it is. My god, theyr the meanest machines of all time. But then again, i wish i could get hold of one of your big chevvy trucks! Tjose are so wicked its a joke!

[PonyOne]

You really wanna see a wicked beast, look up a Ford Excursion... twenty feet and six tons of absolute excess in motorvehicling.

The Maloo is the Ute supersport model, whereas the ClubSport is the 4-door version. The cool thing about the Maloo is that you've basically got a midsize car with a 5.7l V6 and all the excess material on the back totally cut away, so you can really get some speed out of it.

We used to have a car in the US called the Chevy El Camino, and then there was a Super Sport version, the SS, which was really hot. My uncle used to own one, and it was the coolest car ever, but it got mangled by some kid in a supermarket parking lot when he accelerated too fast & lost control.

So check those two out, the Chevy El Camino SS and the Ford Excursion. American motoring at its finest and most insane.
