so at the silverchair gig the lead singer, daniel johns, was talking in between songs and said that whenever the band were in manchester something special happens, for example this time it's the drummer ben gillies' birthday. cue applause from the audience and a rendition of happy birthday. a few songs later and ben broke his bass drum pedal so there was a pause while it was being replaced. daniel said the crowd "we'll let him off, it is his birthday" to which someone in the crowd replied "liar!". daniel looked slightly taken aback before retorting "liar? fuck you!" and then changed the subject. i felt that the abuse from the crowd was a little unwarrented until i was at my computer the next day and thought i'd have a look on wikipedia - sure enough ben's birthday is in fact 24th October. mr johns, you sir are a liar!
