No Picture Andrew Wanna Be	#1 by Andrew Long at Nov 3, 1972 at 8:38 AM EST
	If I had written this song when I was 16, I would probably get in serious trouble. These guys got a record deal. Fair? Maybe.

No Picture The Random Rock Average	#2 by The Random Rocker at Jun 27, 1978 at 6:06 AM EST
	a few years ago, there was a big thing about the album being banned because it was causing kids to kill themselves and stuff. i can;t remember the exact details now, cause i was young,

No Picture Basstard Professional	#3 by Basstard at May 12, 1989 at 5:04 AM EST
	It's about Jesus Christ, his torture and his march towards the cross. Basically his last few days on the planet before the ressurection took place. "If your not here soon I'll kill your friend instead" is about how the followers of Christ were hunted down and killed. "Pain and execution. Put your hands in the air" is about how a lot of people at the time rejoiced in the killing of Jesus because they believed him to be a false prophet. "I hate you and your apathy. You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here. I'm playing this pantomime, But I don't see you showing any signs of fear." Many people who disagreed with Jesus disagreed with the fact that he didn't show hate, only love and compassion and that was sometimes mistaken as apathy because he really only had one side. The not showing any fear had to do with his conviction while he took the tortue that was given to him. It's a pretty deep song, and it does tie into a lot of the conflicts in the Middle East right now, but I believe that my explanation above has some basis as well.

No Picture ashley Wanna Be	#4 by ashley pudding at Aug 9, 1994 at 5:34 PM EST
	The song rules!!! i love it... sounds like it was written for a past 'friend' of mine. i could so kill her. but i wont, nope, coz i'm a good person. anyway the song is a great song to mosh to, and the bass line is brilliant- so fun to play specially when it gets faster. I LOVE SILVERCHAIR! good ol' aussie bands. ;)

	Israel's son could be a reference to either one of two groups: Israeli's or Palestinians. It is about wartime atrocities according to John Waton, but I think specifically about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East fueled by the hate each of those two groups feel for each other. Each think they are given the land by God, “I am, I am Israel's son/Israel's son I am.” Palestine uses terrorism to further their goals, and without fail, Israel strikes back militarily, hence the lines "If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead," and "You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here." I think the lines "All the pain I feel/Couldn't start to heal/Although I would like it to" voice the desire to have peace, but because this has lasted almost half a century now, there is no other choice but to keep fighting. One line, though, I believe is directed at the rest of the world, "I hate you and your apathy," in that most of the rest of the world simply ignore the horrid circumstances prevalent in the region.

No Picture simon Average	#9 by simon cody simon at Oct 15, 2007 at 11:14 PM EST
	fucking rage, that's all i've got to say. if i ever feel this much hatred towards someone or something, I'm pretty sure someone will end up dead, even if it's me. Even frm the start, with the bass: I feel it.
