How many boys have you slept with?

Its 9am Monday morning, I am very hungover. But it doesn't matter because I'm in BLACK ATOM!!! :D :D

Cool! whats happening...I heard you are playing a new cover or something?!?

Actually I'm an architect, whereas you work in a hotel. Also my girlfriend is hot, I could show you a photo if you wish. And I thought you said they called you the hurricane because you were 'solid'? Now you're saying it's because you're fast? Make your mind up you differently abled little boy. "At least when I get a girlfriend..." You said it, I told you girls won't go near you. If stripey doesn't mind, I'm gonna award you another one of his gold stars, as you are clearly more 'special' than a whole special unit put together.

Wow..who are you! How come you have Fear of Reflections! (its a piece of shit by the way, and was recorded live so it sounds crap, years old too! But thanks!)

In agreement with frosty jack here. My advice would be to find out the overall key/scale of the chord progression you are working in (one way to do this is to write out all the separate notes used in ALL the chords in the progression, and reference which notes are common in all the chords, and which notes are less common within chords, then you can figure out which are the main notes to bass your melody round). From this you can figure out what the 'right' notes you can use are. For example: In the chord progression Am7 > D7 > Dmaj7 > Cmaj7 A common scale that you would use would be the natural A minor, which conveniently is comprised of the notes A B C D E F and G. Assuming you are using a keyboard you don't have to use a single sharp, which is handy. You can then figure out what sounds good, in the knowledge that non of the notes will sound particularly 'wrong'. (the common notes in the A minor scale used over your chord progression would be A, C and E, with D and G being strong linking notes and B being a good 'passing' note). Watch out for the C# note in the Dmaj7 chord and try not to use an F note over either of the D chords. (sorry if it sounds like i'm telling you what to do, I find it quite hard to explain this stuff) However this is only the very basics of what you can do - you could use the A dorian scale for example, which instead of having an F (the 6th degree of A minor), it has an F#. This would add a more 'bluesy feel' rather than a sad/melancholic feel due to having what is now a major 6th, as opposed to a minor 6th. This will work, but you should be careful where to use the F# note (you should use it over the D7 and Dmaj7 chords), because an F# note may clash and sound dissonant with the C note that is used in the Am7 and Cmaj7 chords. Sounds complicated I know.... If you play what sounds right however, as Frosty Jack said, it IS right. And music should sound good rather be like a quantum phyiscs equation. (although I do take great pride in being able to understand how music can 'work') Hope that helps.

Dude, thats awesome! Of course, its not particularly my thing and I would never want to play one but it looks cool - (for a non-metal guitar;))

they call you the hurricane cos you smell like 10000 people breaking wind at the same time.

when neil ex typed in all his details into the school computer to find out his future occupation the computer told him he wasn't going to ever get a proper job or girlfriend and that he would more than likely end up being a paedophile.

Why would I want to fight you? Just because you're a complete tosser doesn't mean that I would royally beat the shit out of you. I was merely interested to see if you are actually interested in music, or if even if you have a social life, or whether you just sit in front of your computer jacking off to the thought of your insults actually being funny. Admit it, you've never kissed a girl have you? "i'm sorry dan, i couldn't fight you because i don't hit girls" I see what you did there. You said you couldn't fight me, because you don't hit girls, which implies I'm a girl. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Genius mate, genius. I wish I'd have thought of that one first. (you probably do hit girls because they won't even come near you)

What are you dressing up as like? A homeless man doesn't count as you wouldn't have to change your clothes. You coming to see the atom at kef?

Music theory helped me immensely. I learnt it myself and enjoy it, and it's damn useful in knowing certain things. I enjoy talking about it and finding out new things for myself, and anyone who says "geek" or "it takes the fun out of music" is clearly a fool.

Latest news in: Dan Loaded has had sex Latest news in: With the exception of his hand and his dad, Neil ex has not. Why does neil ex put a laughing smilie after his posts? Does a laughing smilie not mean, that the previous statement was funny? how ironic..neil ex...it almost rhymes with.............homo!

they don't do harmonies in a very maiden-esque way but they are an AMAZING band. Check out these songs: Long Whip/Big America Wiseblood (the song - off the album with the same name) Clean My Wounds Heaven's Not Overflowing Senor Limpio King Of THe Rotten Broken Man Vote with A Bullet Albatross Any of those are a good start!

Yes. By a long way. Whats the difference between Neil ex and a wheelbarrow? A wheelbarrow doesn't get raped by it's dad. You should change your name to Neil hassexwithkids Thats better.

CoC have awesome harmonies, but its only really the solo in Clean My Wounds that is harmonised... Long Whip/Big America and Albatross (amongst loads others) have awesome harmonies!

I'm looking forward to the atom again, and interested to seeing quik and Hotmangu. Rock on!

I've heard some Wishbone Ash, they did some really mad scat* stuff! I think my dad likes them... When I was a kid I always thought they were cool because they had a red flying V on one of their CD covers.... *(not 'scat' as in 'poo fetish')

Do you think guitar harmonies make a song? Or do you hate them and think they sound like cheesy wank? I personally think they give a song an extra touch of class, if they are used tastefully... Iron Maiden are the masters of the guitarmony but I know they are a pretty marmite band, if you know what I'm saying. Oh, and that Brian May sound is awesome!

Why is Neil ex called Neil ex? Cos if he keeps making shit jokes he will very soon be an ex-neil. Whats does neil ex and black atom have in common? They are both really cool, except for neil ex.

Mac you bastard! Yes, indeed my favourite scale is the one mac mentioned. The Phrygian Dominant (or spanish phrygian as it is sometimes known) It is the fifth mode of the harmonic minor scale and sounds awesome! Also the locrian mode, the 7th mode of the major scale. Its the same as the minor scale but with a flat 2nd and a flat 5th. And THEN, the japanese Iwato scale which is a five note version of the locrian (it doesn't have a 3rd or a 6th) Sounds awesome! Rock on.

Eh? You mad, mad woman....

Shit, dude. That isn't cool at all! Hope you can get it fixed or something.

My jokes must have been at least twenty seven times ten to the power of sixteen times funnier.... (270,000,000,000,000,000) I've even already cracked the macdonalds joke.

Joe isn't his real name. His real name is Gordon. He was formerly the singing teacher to the Greek Gods, but his talents went under-used in the land of the Gods, so he was sent down to earth to sing for the greatest band on the planet! (but he gave that up and joined Black Atom...)
