Tom: Modern Rock Live is pleased to welcome back to our studios, it's been a little over a
year, silverchair. Their new CD is called Freak Show, please welcome silverchair. Hi guys.
Chris: How are ya?
Ben: Hey
Daniel: Hi
Tom: Welcome back
Chris: Thanks
Ben: Thanks
Daniel: Thank you
Tom: We have Daniel, Chris and Ben there. Now you guys just came back from where?
Were you in New Zealand?
Chris: Yeah we just um, before we left to come over here, we did a quick show in Tasmania
and we had a bit more time off, then we went and did two shows in New Zealand.
Tom: Well welcome to the States, I know your tour kicks off in a couple of days and we do
wish you well. Now I want to ask you a question. I actually read in a interview, I don't know
if it was you Daniel, or Chris, or Ben, I don't know who mentioned that the last record you
did after listening to it you guys weren't particularly happy with it, is that a correct
assumption based on the interviews I've read?
Daniel: Um..no, we're happy with it, this is Daniel here by the way, um we're happy with it,
it's just were more happy with the new album cause the first album had 3 or 4 songs on it
which we didn't particularly like but we had to put on the album to make up an album's
worth of songs, but we're as happy as you can be with the first album
Tom: Which were the songs you didn't like?
Daniel: I can't even remember
Tom: (laughs)
Daniel: I'm not even going to say cause it'll...
Tom: (interrupts) Yeah I know
Tom: Well I can tell you I've listened to the new CD over the weekend and it's amazing, I
mean you guys have definitely.. um, for a band that had a quick turn around between two
albums you guys seem like you really were very focused in the studio, I mean is that how
you went into this record..going OK this is our second album we have to really be focused?
Chris: Um it was kind of.. we had a bit of time off in-between them andwe thought let's
work a bit harder on this one and let's just make it better than the other one and we kind of
did that and it took longer this time, it took 3 weeks instead of 9 days and we sorted out a
lot of sounds and just made everything better really
Tom: Everything seemed like a whirlwind for you guys, I mean particularly here in the
states, I mean the record's released, chart positions, whatever you want to call it, but the
record was a huge success. Was there ever a time where you had to sit back and look back
at this and maybe from now-a-day looking back on the past couple years, is there anything
that you've learned from that experience that helped prepare you for this record?
Ben: ..Um.. I guess just traveling around and like going to all different countries and seeing
what goes on in the industry you learn a lot of stuff and doing the first album as well, like
you learn a lot of stuff doing that so you know when you go in to do the second album not to
make that mistake again
Tom: Is there anything that was disconcerting to you, you mentioned the industry, about
coming to the states wherever you had to work with the "industry" was it disheartening or
were you able to work within the "system"?
Daniel: There was like.. we don't know who the question is directed to, but..um..there's a
lot of good people in the industry and there's also a lot of dicks so you just gotta kinda live
with the dicks and get on with the people who are all right
Tom: Well I hope later on, before this 90 minutes is over, we'll start naming some dicks on
the air, let's hope that'll happen
Daniel: We could do that
Tom: We have David on the line, David thanks for calling Modern Rock Live
caller: Yeah, I was wondering what bands did ya'll listen to when you were growing up and
what bands do ya'll listen to now?
Daniel: When we first started listening to music it was mainly the stuff that our old men,
fathers, dads, etc. showed us, um like Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Hendrix,
stuff like that and we still listen to that stuff a lot as well as a lot of newer stuff, a lot of
Steve Albini stuff, we really like Korn, anything with intensity..is good
Tom: When you guys had the opportunity to tour for your first record did you get a chance
to see any bands or meet any bands that you really liked or get turned on to any bands
while you were on the road
Ben: We did get to see Korn in New Jersey when we were in New York and they were
rather legendary and um..who else have we seen.. Daniel, Chris, anyone?
Chris: We saw heaps of bands. We saw Soundgarden and Pavement and all that sort of
stuff. You see heaps of bands as you go along at festivals especially Europe and that
Ben: We saw Bad Religion too, they were pretty good
Tom: Yeah, they're good, they're good
Tom: David thanks for your call we talk now to Lisa-Marie
caller: Hi, I was wondering do you get along while you're on tour and do you get homesick?
Tom: Aw the old fist-a-cuffs question. Are there fist-a-cuffs in the band?
Daniel: Yeah, we fight ALL the time!
Tom: Good, good that's healthy
Daniel: It's cool, we like it.. we love it
Ben: laughs
Tom: That's very healthy, thats good
Daniel: There's a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea
Ben: Um... what?
Daniel: That's all I've got to say (laughing)
Ben: Daniel's drinking tea at the moment, that's why he said that I think
Tom: laughs
Ben: but ya, we don't really fight on tour very much we get along pretty well but you'll have
the occasional day when someone will be kinda cheesed off at someone else, but you know,
it passes over pretty quickly.
Tom: What is the root to the evil of having these fights, I mean what do you guys normally
fight over?
Daniel: We don't usually fight...
Ben: they're just like...
Chris: disagreements
Daniel: Yeah, like Chris will want to go out for tea at a Mexican place and I'll want to go
out for tea somewhere else and Ben wants to go somewhere else and we all go.. I don't
want to go there! and then we end up sitting in the hotel eating...
Ben: getting room service
Daniel: room service (negatively)
Tom: Wow tough life!
Daniel: it is..
Tom: Adam, thanks for calling, you're on with silverchair
caller: What part of being a musician do you like most?
Ben: playing live
Chris: Yeah, live is pretty good, it's kinda the best way to play music I reckon. It kinda
gets a bit boring sitting in a studio trying to play songs that way so you kinda get the crowd
reaction and that sort of stuff when you're playing live
Daniel: It's good to be able to play to people who appreciate the music
Ben: and I think playing live is the thing that makes you want to keep doing what you're
doing because like, if you didn't play live and just traveled around in planes all day and got
really bored you'd probably... it would get kinda boring
Tom: You guys had a chance in December to play in Las Angeles as the "George Castanza
Trio" where you got a chance to preview some of the songs form Freak Show, you talk
about audience response, that was the first time you played a lot of the stuff live infront of
people, at least in the States, was there one or two particular songs that actually got a good
reaction from people that had not been exposed to the album?
Daniel: Um... songs that got the best reaction although they were still new and no one had
really heard them were the songs that have kind of a heavy groove like Freak and...
Ben: probably Slave
Daniel: Slave, Yeah anything they could jump around to really cause it's kind of hard to get
a reaction with new songs if they haven't heard them so you gotta try to get across as much
energy as possible when you're on stage so the crowd appreciates the new songs as well
Tom: Let's get back to our busy phones to talk to Trisha
caller: hi, I was wondering what the meaning is behind the album's name Freak Show
Chris: Um... well it's kind of a theme orientated thing with Freak Show and all the old
freaks and it kinda gets to the fact that how people come to shows and look at you and
think you're freaks and stuff, and the way we pack up and move on to another city and
setup and just like an old show and stuff like that
Tom: Like a circus family
Chris: Yeah
Tom: What's your favourite freak?
Daniel: Can't have a favourite, they're all unique
Ben: I don't really know any
Tom: Jennifer is up next on Modern Rock Live, thanks for calling Jennifer
caller: Hi, does one person write the songs, or do you collaborate?
Daniel: um, it varies from song to song. I wrote the lyrics and me and Ben wrote the music
sometimes and sometimes I wrote the music and the lyrics and on two songs on this album
Ben... (interrupted by a sound that says... Ooops, you can't say that on Modern Rock
Live!.)... guy
Ben: None of that swearing big fella
Daniel: (laughing) I said such a flukin talented ... what's the matter with it?
Tom: You're expressing your love for him that's all
Daniel: That's right
Tom: Jennifer thanks for calling, we're talking now to Laura
caller: Hi! If you guys could tour with anyone who would it be?
Daniel: Zeppelin
Ben: Yep, Led Zeppelin
Chris: classic
Tom: That's realistic, okay who else?
Daniel: Robert Johnson
Ben: Who's that?
Daniel: (laughing) I think he's dead
Tom: laughing
Ben: What's his name?... What's his name??
Tom: (laughing) Are you talking about the old blues guitarist Robert Johnson?
Daniel: That's him
Tom: OK, so what you guys should do is just take his box set and play it on stage on a CD
player, there you go, he could open for ya
Daniel: We've done that a few times, the crowd seemed to love it
Tom: Of course, of course, I love watching two speakers on stage
Daniel: Yeah
Tom: Laura, good question thanks for calling. We talk now to Melissa
caller: What do you like most about the U.S.?
Ben: I guess... We love the people here they're great, they're legendary and we love the
food here, we love... I don't know
Daniel: television
Ben: television yep, cable T.V.
Tom: What's your favourite T.V. show?
Ben: Beavis and Butthead for me
Daniel: laughs
Tom: Did you see the movie?
Ben: No, I haven't seen it yet.
Tom: It's great
Tom: Anna, thanks for calling Modern Rock Live
caller: Hi! I was wondering how you guys met and how you formed the band
Ben: We just met through school, like I knew Chris I think in year one or two or something
and then we both met Daniel in about year three. And the way we formed the band was just
me and Daniel started playing our instruments. I started playing drums and he started
playing guitar then we just started jamming together and then we decided to get a bass
player and it all kinda, you know, went on from there.
Tom: What was the first song you guys did together?
Ben: You don't want to know it believe me
Daniel: um... I forget, um... I can't remember
Ben: I can't remember
Daniel: Me and Ben used to play "Hound Dog"
Ben: It was probably pretty bad anyway, so don't worry about it
Tom: laughs
Tom: Anna thanks for your question, we travel now and talk to Kat
caller: Hey, I met and saw you guys back in 95and 96 in Philadelphia and I'm seeing you
guys again this year...
Tom: (interrupts) that must have been a long concert 95 to 96! All: (laughing)
caller: twice, I was wondering what were the best and worst places you ever played at?
Chris: The two best ones would be the Phillmore in Sanfrancisco and Madison Square
Garden cause a lot of bands that we really like have played there, like Led Zeppelin at
Madison Square Gardens and The Who at San Francisco and the worst one would probably
be this gig we did somewhere in Europe called Exposure Rock Cafe and it was just this
really small little, dingy little place about the size of the room we're in now and it just had
this big glass pole up the middle of the stage and it was just really bad.
Daniel: I thought it was cool
Ben: Yeah, I liked that gig Chris
Daniel: laughing
Tom: Well Kat, thanks for bringing the show down to a bummer cause now they're all
depressed thinking about the worst gig! We talk now to Billy.. Hey Billy
caller: Hi, this is Billy, I was wondering what you guys do in your spare time?
Daniel: Hey Billy
Chris: We just hang out at the beach, maybe go for a surf, not much when we're at home
really, we just try to sit around and relax and do not much at all. Tom: Did people leave
you alone after you came back home and everything, I mean obviously you want to hang
out with friends and everything, but did everybody kind of give you space so you could
power down so-to-speak or just relax?
Daniel: After a while we kinda got a bit more space when the whole first album hype crap
died down, um when the first album was kind of at it's peak in Australia there was a bit of
media crap going on, but um, ya we got a bit of space towards the end of our time off
Tom: Good. Billy, thanks for your call, we talk now to Mark
caller: Yeah, you guys, I was just wondering where you think you're gonna be in the future
like maybe the next five years or something?
Daniel: It all really depends, we could be still playing music in silverchair or we could be...
asleep
Ben and Chris: (laughing)
Tom: Like on big long nap
Daniel: Yeah
Tom: I want to just go back to "Abuse Me" for a minute and talk about the video. The guy
who did the video did stuff for Oasis and Alanis Morrisette, but the guy who's in there
getting tattooed, how did you hook up with him?
Chris: There's this show in Australia called "Hey, Hey" and they've got this segment
called "Red Faces" and he was on there in his underwear doing all this cartoonist stuff and
everything and someone who works with Johnny Watson saw him and we got him up and it
was perfect
Tom: Now is that truly him, I mean that's not make up is it?
Ben: That's real tattoos
Daniel: It's makeup on his head. His head and face aren't tattooed, but everything else is
real
Tom: Wow! It's an amazing video if you got a chance to see this guy. I'm sure he'll look
good when he's 70
Tom: We talk now to Nicole, hi Nicole
caller: Wow! I read in Guitar World how you said mosh pits are different in Australia than
America and I was just wondering how?
Ben: Mosh pits in Australia everyone just is out infront of the and they just jump up and
down and that's all they do is jump up and down, but in the States there's like a circle and
people just like run around in these big circles and theres all...
Daniel: (interrupts) I think they know, you don't have to explain what they do cause they're
American
Ben: Ahh, shut up!
Tom: (laughing) Actually, no explain it cause we're short for time
Ben: OK, um, well there's just like a circle that everyone runs around in and there's always
a leader like there's always a big heavy dude walking around like...
Daniel: (interrupts) Or a big heavy girl
Ben: oh, well girl, dude, whatever you want.. and if he doesn't like anyone he'll hurt 'em
Daniel: Or she'll hurt them
Ben: he/her
Tom: Do you encourage that at your shows? How do you feel about that kind of action
going on?
Daniel: It's good, it's better than just standing there and not responding at all, at least if
there jumping around they can kind of feel the music and.. jump and... break... things
Ben: I think it makes you play better too
Daniel: Yeah
Tom: Joseph's calling Modern Rock Live
caller: Hi guys, I was just wondering how you guys got hooked up with Handsome for the
tour you're on right now?
Daniel: We originally got a 7 inch single in Australia just cause we heard it was Peter
Mengede's (from Helmet) other band and one of the dudes from Quicksand and we like
both those bands a lot so we went out and got the 7 inch and really liked it and from there
we kind of hooked up with them cause it was a lot simpler than most tours because they are
on the same record label as ourselves, so it was easy to get connected.
Tom: The bands you mentioned, Helmet and Quicksand, were bands you guys mentioned
last time you were on the show. There's also another band you guys mentioned, Tool. What
do you guys think of their new record?
Chris: It's great, the sounds on it and the production and everything is just really big and
great
Tom: Cindy, thanks for calling Modern Rock Live
caller: What difference do you guys see in American teen culture and Australian teen
culture?
Daniel: Umm, Australian kinda culture is a lot more laid back than the culture in the
States... I don't know, there's also problems in Australia, but it seems to me that it's a lot
more relaxed atmosphere, people just hang out at the beach, play music and do nothing.
That also happens in some parts of the States, but a lot of the parts we've seen there's a
lot of stress crap going on and we're just like... wow, it's amazing
Tom: Is there a different tone to the letters you get from your fans from each country when
you talk about stress, I mean are the American letters more intense?
Daniel: A lot of them are just normal letters, intense letters come from everywhere really.
There's always people writing and when you read it it's a shock, but it's not necessarily just
America that has those kind of intense letters it also happens from Australia and Europe
and everywhere else
Tom: We have Tanya on the line
caller: have you guys had any strange fan experiences while touring?
Ben: Umm, no, I don't think so
Daniel: Have we had any what? 
Ben: Strange fan experiences didn't you say?
Tom: Yep
Ben: I can't recall any
Daniel: Uuummmm... we had this guy one time outside the bus who painted himself blue
and he actually had white underpants on and no hair and he was yelling out "I love you
Ben!, I love you Ben!" and that was pretty weird
Tom: That was Chris Sheppard from the show, he was just making sure you guys would do
it
Daniel: He was just this rad dude, I don't know what his name or anything
Tom: But nothing else weird?
Daniel: That didn't really happen, that was just... I thought we might answer the question
with something good
Tom: Jason, thanks for calling Modern Rock Live, your on with silverchair
caller: I was wondering how you guys find time for education?
Chris: We sorta... whenever we're at home we're in school basically when school's in and
this time around while we're away we've got a tutor with us so it shouldn't be too bad this
time
Tom: What's your favourite subjects?
Chris: Lunch
Ben: (laughing) yeah, break
Tom: Study hall
Ben: uhmmmmmm... yeah (sarcastically)
Daniel: umm, next question
all: laughing
Tom: We're going to play Petrol and Chlorine, do you want to talk about what this song
means?
Daniel: It's one of the songs that we decided to really kinda experiment instrumentally,
there's Indian percussion and a sitar and a guitar-sitar and a violin you know, a bit of that
kind of stuff
Ben: A bit of everything
Daniel: Ya, a bit of everything
Tom: Oh cool
Tom: Let's go back to our phones and talk to Jordan, hey Jordan
caller: Hey! Do you guys prefer playing in a smaller club or a larger coliseum?
Daniel: They're both good
Chris: they're very different so they're kinda good in their own way, whichever one you do
Daniel: It's good to have a kind of variation in the size of venues that you play cause it
keeps every performance kind of fresh
Ben: I think the smaller pub show are kind of more personal than the big ones as well
because you're so far away from the audience at the big ones and at the small pub ones
they're right in your face
Tom: Are there any songs that you guys do, whether it's new material or stuff from the first
album, that just seems to go over well in a huge festival atmosphere?
Daniel: Anything with a groove goes over well when there's lot of people cause they all just
jump around and do their thing
Tom: Right. We talk now to Beth
caller: hi, what careers would you guys choose if you weren't in music?
Ben: I'd probably be a plumber like my dad... I've always wanted to be a plumber
Chris: I don't know, I really haven't thought about that.
Ben: a mechanic maybe Chris
Tom: You have the pipes, you can do that job
Chris: Yeah
Ben: I reckon Chris would be a mechanic, that's my personal opinion
Tom: OK, that AUTO be fun, what else?
Daniel: um, I'd get a dolt check every week, yeah... I wouldn't do anything
Ben: Wouldn't you be a fruitier?
Daniel: No, I wouldn't do that
Ben: take after your dad
Daniel: maybe actually, yeah actually... yeah I'd sell apples and eat the spares
Tom: (laughs) There you go, career choices from silverchair
Tom: Back to the phones, let's talk to Liam. Hey Liam thanks for calling
caller: Hi, hey Daniel and everybody, Daniel, Chris and Ben: Hey! I love silverchair, I love
ya'll very much, and we're way down here in South Carolina. We're starting off like ya'll
and we're trying to get noticed and everything but we're kinda like a tribute band cause we
play all your stuff and everything. What's your advice to us on how to get big cause there's
no demo contests around here at all
Daniel: You gotta like... do you have your own songs?
caller: yeah, we do
Daniel: Well, if I were you I'd...
Ben: (interrupts) write more
Daniel: Ya, play as many of your own songs as possible cause no one's going to notice you
playing covers, we realized that and um yeah, just rock on! and send tapes to everyone you
know that has connections
caller: were trying real real hard to make it big cause I'm only 15 and we play real good
Tom: What's the name of your band Liam
caller: our band's called Flynt
Ben: What's it called?
caller: Flynt, we spelled the Y backwards like Korn only they have a backwards R
Daniel: allright... Well, you can send us a tape and we'll listen to it
caller: Ya'll will?
Daniel and Ben: Yeah, we'll listen to it
caller: Aw man, ya'll are awesome man!
Daniel: You're awesome too!
caller: Aw you're the man Dan! All right well, I love ya'll real much man, I'll write ya'll...
I've already wrote ya'll like 20 letters
Daniel: cool, we love you too... we love everyone
Tom: OK, thanks Liam for calling
Ben: see ya!
Tom: Clarrisa's on the next line, thanks Clarrisa for calling
caller: Yeah, I was wondering what are your views on musicians and their drug addictions
and everything, cause you guys are real famous now and are you like into that stuff?
Chris: No, we're not really the kind of people you could call druggies but you know if
people are willing to go and abuse their bodies like that, I mean it's their choice, it might
not be right but...
Ben: If they want to do it they can, It's up to them, but personally we don't do that kind of
stuff
Daniel: We smell flowers
Ben: laughs
Tom: When you come back home and you're rock stars now, do your friends at least
accept you in that light?
Daniel: Our friends are cool cause we don't change at all, we don't think we're any better
than anyone else just because we're at a certain level our friends treat us the same, we're
just the same people and just go to our mates house and hang out and play pool and fall
asleep on the lounge.
Tom: Was there anyone who came out of the woodwork that you guys probably didn't like
or didn't even know growing up and all of a sudden said "Aw I'm your best friend,
remember me?"
Daniel: There's a few people
Ben: Not really
Daniel: I don't know, there's a few dickheads like that
Ben: Most of our friends, like we knew them before anything happened with the band so
they really couldn't care less who the hell we were
Tom: You know, starting out like you guys did you know winning the demo competition and
everything did you get a lot of support from besides just friends but family as well to say
hey go for this?
Daniel: Our friends... we didn't even talk about anything at school you know, like we didn't
say " Look guys we just got this record contract" and all this crap because we didn't want
to sound like we were kind of boasting to our friends so we just kept it quiet and our
friends, whatever we did they just kinda didn't say anything about it, they were just cool
with it and then we were just like "Yeah, see ya later, we're going to America for six
weeks" and they were like "Yeah, cool, see ya when you get back"
Tom: Bring back some McDonalds
Daniel: Yeah bring back some nice... what are they called?... Reeses Pieces
Tom: Oh, Reeses Pieces, did you bring some back for them?
Ben: Yeah
Daniel: About 20 packets
Ben: We couldn't find... what were they called, the ones we were trying to get?
Daniel: There was like Reeses Pieces peanut butter crap and we didn't like that
Tom: peanut butter cups
Ben: Yeah
All: laughing
Daniel: We had to find the ones like M&Ms and we found them in a little machine
Tom: The issue as far as going back home to see your friends and your family did anyone
get a chance to actually come to America to hang with you, did you get a little homesick
and say hey we'll fly some friends over
Chris: No, not as yet, no
Daniel: We don't really have the time to say "come on boys, come over and we'll hang"
Ben: We havn't got that money either... imagine how much that would cost to fly your
friends over Tom: Well here's the deal folks call 1 800 223 ROCK and send some money
to silverchair so they can send their friends over and I'm sure they'll be happy to have that
Ben: Just send it to Ben Gillies
All: laugh
Tom: We're talking now to Angela
caller: Hi, first of all I'd like to say Daniel, we have the same birthday
Daniel: yeah!
Tom: What day is that?
caller: April 22nd
Ben: Are you a Taurus?
caller: yeah
Daniel: uh... no! (sarcastically)
Tom: well, it's the same day
Ben: Oh, well I'm not exactly sure what States sign it was
Tom: Ya, different countries different thing, sure
caller: OK, I was wondering why weren't you going to put Cemetery on the album?
Daniel: Just when I originally wrote it I saw it very much as just an acoustic guitar and
vocals kind of song, it didn't really seem like a band kind of song and it's not that we didn't
want to experiment with different stuff but it just didn't seem like something you could
incorporate drums and bass into, but we found a way of incorporating different instruments
into the song and made it a silverchair song
Tom: Good question Angela, thanks for calling. Bethany is calling to talk to silvercair,
Bethany
caller: Hi, first I saw you guys at the Troubadour and I thought you were great, and um I
was wondering do you ever feel pressured or nervous when you're on stage?
Chris: Not really... sometimes you might get a bit nervous if um like, last week we had to
record a thing for MTV live and we were kind of a bit nervous, you don't want to stuff up
infront of the cameras cause you'd kinda fell a bit dumb, but most of the time it's pretty
cool and we're just sort of relaxed
Tom: I don't think this is an American thing, but overall people always say this about bands
on second albums, you know, the sophomore jinx or what have you, did you guys go into
recording this record thinking this has got to be really good and really big for our second...
just to show people we can really do this?
Ben: We just kinda...
Tom: (interrupts) was it just kinda like we'll see what happens?
Ben: All that we really did was just go in and make a happy... ah, make a happy... make an
album we're happy with
Tom: (laughing) A happy record!
Ben: Yeah, we wanted to make people smile
Tom: (laughs) I saw that on a bumper sticker, I don't know if you saw it, silverchair makes
me smile
Daniel: Ya, we've seen it as well
Tom: We have Stephanie on the phone, Stephanie
caller: hello, nice to meet you guys over the phone, I love you so much
Ben: I love you too
Daniel: Thank you
caller: thanks! I was just wondering, with your success do you feel you are paving the way
for other Australian bands to be successful in America also?
Daniel: It's kind of... I think INXS and Men at Work and if you want to class AC/DC as an
Australian band they kinda showed people that Australia has music and now the kind of
success we've had in America has showed that there's still music in Australia and there's a
lot of good bands, a lot of bands better than us
Tom: Well you know the cool thing is, going back to a caller before, Liam, there is a lot of
people here in the States that actually look up to you guys and what you've done and how
you made music a part of their lives, they look up to you as something to aspire to... so I
think that's pretty cool too, at least on this side of the world
Daniel: Yeah
Tom: You don't have to respond, I just had to say that 
Daniel: Oh, I was just going to say.. yeah, thanks All: laugh
Tom: Thanks to everyone for calling in tonight, and thanks of course to our guests Daniel,
Chris and Ben of Silverchair, you guys were great and thanks again for coming,good luck
on the tour and please come back again, we'd love to have you on again
Daniel: Thank you... very much
Ben: Thanks
Chris: Thanks, thanks, thanks
