Enough Silver Cheers, Already!

Why do people forever criticise Silverchair? I’m sick of hearing about how much people hate them. I’m not a really big fan, but there’s some of their stuff that’s OK. Their concert wasn’t very good, but OK for their age. Why do people compare them to other bands likes Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. If there’s anything that sounds all the same, its most hip-hop, techno, and a cappella. And why do people compare Daniel Johns to Kurt Cobain? Did you ever think of the criticism you’re paying Kurt by saying that, if you love him so much? Besides, Daniel washes his hair. If Kurt had had short back and sides, do you think Daniel would have too? They’re young, and still trying to develop their own style.

To all those who think they’re ‘cool’ ‘cause they go round saying how much Silverchair fuckin’ suck: you're probably just jealous. If you think your balls are so big, why aren’t you up there? If you hated them so much, you wouldn’t spend so much time blowing it out your cakehole. If you’ve got nothing better to do, or get yourself recognised by than attacking a bunch of young guys who are trying to make something of themselves, then I could probably take five cents and buy you a life. Hell, I’d probably have four cents change! It’s getting a bit boring hearing the same thing about Silverchair over and over. Realise it: you’re jealous! Wendesday, Wellington.
