Lol, reminds me of the midnight opening for Iowa at One-up, it was about 80% mummies and daddies who went to pick it up for the kids coz they had school the next day, they were playing it incredibly loud over the in-store speakers, never have i seen so many shocked and appauled faces, Class. Have to say Iowa is still my favourite of the two, the psychotic-ness of the the first one is awesome, but it really benefited from the melodies they put in on Iowa, still get tingles when that opening noise blows up ripping into People=Shit like shreading metal sheets, followed by full on hell breaking loose double bass insanity, fuckin awesome.

at the back? thats Sid (DJ), used to have the big bulky skull thing where you could basically see his whole face

"Pulse of the Maggots" available to download from the 30th at www.slipknot1.com Cant frickin wait!!

Ooooh, they're pretty much just the old ones but they're definatly getting more fucked up, well looking forward to the new one now, "Volume 3 (the Subliminal Verses)" Although Jim does look like someones just slapped some emulsion on his face.... and craig's just gets deadlier every time... (i guessed this was more costume than music but move it if you will)

Happy birthday Dude!.... erm... see you later!

Happy Birthday Dude!!

yeah for a nicey happy commercial radio friendly piss awful rock band they do seem to have one hell of a temper on them... they were fucking appauling when they supported Korn, strangely enough the crowd who were waiting for Korn didnt like them, so instead of being professional and getting on with it they thought they would just antagonise the crowd and have a go at them, its pretty pathetic, unlike FFAF who knew the maiden fans just wanted them to go away so maiden could come on, who just apologised for having to play so long and keeping us from seeing maiden, picked up and pocketed all the change thrown at them and left very politely....

yeah if y'all could spread the word about tomorrow being off that'd be grand, save people turning up to an empty venue n all, sorry about the short notice, will update the site asap, once again, sorry!

23rd March at drummonds, website will be updated soon with details!

still recon that was in 2003

dare i ask, any idea what the tuning used on the 9 string monster is? just kinda curious, reminds me of an advert i saw in total guitar many moons ago for this instrument which went from the lowest of bass strings all the way through to a normal guitar at the top on one neck, totally fretless, one fuckin fat neck and hunners of strings!!!

i'm going to back y'all up on the general poop-ness of the glorious burden, not coz your all my bandmates, just because i heard so much about the album being ace and a great return to form and about 3 songs in i was so utterly bored to tears, didn't enjoy it atall, poop poop poop

We prefer 'the darkness with hair on their balls...'

ooooh goody!!!!

ooh ooh ooh, have we got a banjo player?

erm, was gonna say time is running out by muse, but think i'll go with hysteria, both awesome, the time is now - moloko (dont ask) erm shit lots to choose.... dunno! pulling teeth or the bass doodle from cunning stunts - metallica

how can we miss out Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by Iron Maiden or Skunkworks by Bruce Dickinson awesomeness!

Well im in the process of fixing it i hope, it just might take a wee while, the main problem is i cant even get in to put up a front page saying that the site is off-line so it's not like i can even put something up to redirect browsers to an alternative webspace. Its pretty sucky really, we're just going to have to grin and bear it for the time being, cheers tho man, offer appreciated!

hello everyone just so you all know, due to a few problems with our hosts, freenetname, the Black Atom webiste will be down for a wee while, not too sure how long at present. I'll need to be in touch with our previous webmaster and do some account changing before we'll be up and running again. For now tho, keep an eye on this forum for all you need to know about the site and if you want more information, drop me an e-mail and i'll add you to our mailing list which is still fully operational (fingers crossed). cheers and i'll be sure to let you all know when we're online again.

no no no definatly not! just the guys 'ahem' talking shit..... why would i purposely dye my beloved locks ginge anyway!?! stay tuned....

shhhhhhh!!!!! its not ginger... its.... copper..... in fact... no.. its black... nothing going on here... carry on

Hot Mangu... Metal..... but at the Metal vs Not Metal thing at moshulu they were representing Not Metal?! Genre Whores! Too Metal? i sincerely doubt it! but i am glad to know RomanChoke is sooo damn good that he is going to win all of these awards based on his sheer disability to take a hint.... Go Fuck Yourself... or get your dad to do it...

hmmm i think it was probably the webmaster's inability to spell christeen (?!) that meant it ended up like that, although this way did have the added bonus that it made erskine look like he loves man pole... (which he does...)

Excuse me for sounding dumb, but when are the Fudge Awards?!?!?!?! looks like i might need to scrape my shirt off my bedroom floor, i'd be surprised if its been washed since the last time we were up for a fudge award..... ROCK!

i just find it funny that for the first time in about 5 years the public perception of the rock/metal genre is FINALLY fucking moving away from the whole sodding Linkin Park/POD/Creed/Nickelback/general nu-metalness rut that its been in and everyone's still moaning! I mean i know its obvious that these bands aren't the be-all and end-all of the genre but i just think its good we actually have some fucking talented spokesmen for the genre for once. And maybe some of us shouldn't get our panties all up in bunches just because "'they'(being the non hoodie/baggie/red cap wearing music fans) like 'our' music", fuckin hell get a grip of yourself, go get a cd you actually like, listen to it, rock out, be happy and stop bloody whinging....
