Hahaha, that's hilarious, he sounds like a right laugh! Bastard for putting on 'Young Modern' though, and SINGING over it?! *LOL*
I met Ben (and the rest of Silverchair) outside the Shepherd's Bush Empire before their gig in 2003. I got a pic with him, haha. He was all yoga-d out and definitely perma-smiley! Really nice guy. He even offered to take a pic of us together, even though he was in a real rush! (They were really late for soundcheck)
