>> The Mineral Water Tragedy! << Duta: >> The most romantic moment? << Duta: >> When we were child! << Eross Candra: Saktia Ari Sena: Akhdiyat Duta Modjo: Anton Widiastanto: Adam Muhammad Subarkah: >> Special Interview with Eross Candra! << Many people want to know how do you make songs? How is the process of creativity? Does it mean you don't need special time and place to make songs? If I listen to the poetical Sheila On 7's lyrics, it seems that you like to read poems or other literal readings? Why is that? Is it true that you get the idea of writing "Sephia" (the secret lover) from the ghost of one of you fans? So what's the truth? So your theme songs are really your own experience? Back to your secret lover. Do you always have Sephia when you have a relationship with someone? >> Just Curious... << Who wakes up early and who doesn't? Adam? If reading is one of your hobbies, what kind of book do you like to read? Anton? Why do you seem to be seen indifferent and smile less? Duta? The rumor said that you're using drugs, what do you say about that? Eross? Whenever you have the idea to write a song, what do you do? Write the lyric first or...what? Sakti? How in earth could you like Tweetty so much? :þ When is your practising schedule? How many times a week? How long? Before you guys go on stage, what do you do? Which one do you prefer? Do the show live or lipsync? According to you, what kind of person is Mas Anton? And what does he mean to you? Where is your favorite place to hang out? What are the things given by your fans which is unforgetable for you? >> Pssst...it's a secret! << What's the first thing to do when you wake up in the morning? What do you ask for in your prayer? What did you want to be when you were a kid? What's the worst thing you ever did at school? What's your idea of a wonderful date? * NEXT ISSUE: Gossips! :) *
Until now, I still can't forget the incident that happens a year ago at Istora. The occasion was when Eross was jamming with mas Once and mas Baron. It was at the end of the first song going to the second song, and as usual there are people throwing stuff... right at me. "Oh, it's okay," that's what I thought. I kept on singing.
In the middle of the fifth song, I was singing face to face with Eross. Suddenly, he said, "What's wrong with your forehead? It looks like you're bleeding. Let's stop!" And Eross was right, my forehead was bleeding. The show was stopped for a moment, and after I got it bandaged, we went on.
Actually, I did see the person who's throwing the stuff at me. I could see him because he was standing in front of the gate and he was bigger than his friends were. And during the show he kept on showing me his middle fingers while snickering at me. I tried to ignore him.
When the show was ended; this person kept on hooing us. I felt a little mad. I didn't know what's wrong with him, it seemed that he hates Sheila so much. And when I gave mineral water to the audience, I threw the bottle straight at his head on purpose. I couldn't help myself!
After that I asked the police who's guarding the gate to get that person backstage. I wanted to ask him what he wanted. I'd waited but he didn't come. From what I heard after was that he had been 'processed' first by the police and few of my friends.
I swear to God I didn't want it to happen. I wasn't the one who told them to do it. I just wanted to talk to him. When I was told about it, I felt bad. I didn't want it to end that way.
I am used to gossips about us. I think it is natural if there are some people hating Sheila and then they say bad things about us. I consider it as our consequences. That's the consequences for the million copies we got. Suppose Sheila's album was not booming, there wouldn't be jealous people. If we're not ready for that kind of consequences, we wouldn't want to make million copies.
The problem is that the incident is not only a matter of hurting my heart. If only that, like I have said before, I won't think of it. But that incident hurt me physically... what if I couldn't keep on singing? It would be a lost for them who really wanted to see us!

"When she tells me that she loves me. We don't have to be face to face when saying it. We can say it by using telephone, letter, or even sms. When I tell her that I love her, that's the most romantic moment in my life..."

* "When I was a child I really want to be a crosser like Dad, but now I turn out to be a musician."
* "I have more abilities in music because of my musical surroundings. Since I was still in Kindergarten I am used to hear cello and flute. My uncle taught me about music and when I was in the 2nd year of Junior High I have been able to write songs."
* "Since a child I have liked Bon Jovi and always listened to his songs. Because I am his fans, I usually acted like him in front of a mirror, with broom as a guitar...he...he..."
* "I have been to Bali using airplane, that is why when I was a child I wanted to be a pilot. Because we can fly freely wherever we want to go."
* "When I was a child I was bad. I like to play on a roof to get a kite and I fell. I really didn't like to drink my milk using pacifier."
* "Since I really like playing a guitar, I even use a broom instead a real one."
* "When I was in 1st grade of Elementary School, I won Adzan Competition at UGM. I am the first winner and Adam is the third."
* "My father is used to record my sister's and my voice. But I was the one who always get hold on the mic and sing alone."
* "I like to make fun of my sister, Badriena, until she cries. I never stop until she cries!"
* "Since I was a child, I was tending to be shy. I was so timid that whenever I drink my milk, I wrap the pacifier with a napkin."
* "I like to play drum since the 2nd grade of Elementary School. Then I learned by myself using chopsticks or pencil. I use them to hit the table until it chipped...he...he..."
* "A funny story when I was a child is that one day, I went inside a box and couldn't get out."
* "When I was a child, I pretended to know about everything and lied to my friends. I once lied to them by saying that if they plant a toy car it will grow into a real one...he...he..."
* "Since I was a child, I wanted to be a famous person. When I like to do sport, I want to be an athlete. When I like to paint, I want to be a famous painter."
* "My mom always tell me to thank God for his divine gift of grace. Not to be conceited and arrogant."

Eross: My songs comes spontaniously. I always write what I feel and what I want to say. So usually the result is good.
Eross: The idea can come anytime. For example, I'm in the bus and suddenly the idea comes, I usually think of the theme. And at home I make it into notes or lyrics.
Eross: Actually, I don't really like to read poems. I prefer to read Chicken Soup or books about how we deal with lives.
Eross: Because when my soul is already affected, already understood some characters, writing the songs will be a lot more easier.
Eross: Ha..ha..ha.. No, it's not true. I've already heard about that rumor, saying that Sephia is a ghost.
Eross: Hmm..if I tell you now who is Sephia, it won't be exciting anymore. Maybe later when I'm old.
Eross: Almost 99% is my own experience.
Eross: Yup..ups..no. No. Ha ha ha.. I believe that every men have a gift from God to give their love not only to one woman. This kind of person usually will feel the joy in his life. The person who have that love is a person with rich heart.
