We love hearing from our supporters. We value you all highly.
Being the approachable fellas that we are, often approached for advice by some of you.

We'd like to extend this to an open letters page, as we all face similar troubles.

Alright there!
Well, looks like I'm starting off the
first episode of Hallion's very own Problem Page.
Here we go!
Miscellaneous music advice
This has been a question sent in by a fair few of you all. So will reply collectively.
So, you want a music career huh?
This indefinate road will bring you pleasure and pain, and I can think of no other trades than the entertainment business/art, where the level of your work input does NOT guarantee equivalent success.
You're dealing with one bitch of a mistress here!

You'll be dealing with a seemingly never
ending collection of sharks, thieves, con artists, time wasters,
backstabbers, bitches and fools.
I've started with the negatives because
if you're put off the idea already....
I never said it was all roses.
I never said it was all roses.
You'll need an iron will and belief in
what you're doing, as there will be a lot of jealous people out there who'll
heap negatives upon you too.
If you can rise above this, and
appreciate those great moments. Those for me are; writing those songs that
lift you in the air with enthusiasm, feeling the song take shape in
rehearsal and recording. Seeing the crowds lap up what you're doing and the
quiet guy or girl that tells you what "that one song" meant to them....
They are the bottom line. Things to never forget. All the best in what you do.

Dear Hallion.... im having an affair with my mams friends cousins uncles sisters college roommate....
Kill everybody. It's the only way to be sure and keep the illicit liason a secret.
If you've seen the film "Snatch", you'll know that pigs can dispose of the bodies pretty rapidly.
Hope that helps

Should I get a Prince Albert?
*crossing legs*
The thought of having a lump of surgical steel put through the bell end does instill fear and puzzle the hearts and minds of many men.
Any guys I knew that had it done, pissed in a Y-shape for a while too. I'd advise sitting down on that score.
Although I've never considered having one done for a second, I've not heard any complaints from guys or their partners that have had it done either.
For this though, I'd avoid my usual "DIY ethic", and have it done by somebody that knows what they're doing.

I discovered my boyfriends porn stash recently. More books and magazines than a sex shop. I want to kill him. What's the best way to confront him?
Put it all in a black rubbish bag and leave it outside your home the day before collection day.
Also message us your home address..... hahaha

Seriously though, you didn't tell us the
nature of the collection. I'm guessing it wasn't involving animals and
beyond so I'd take the attitude it's pretty harmless.
If you tell him you're unhappy with it all, he'll just probably find a better hiding place.

My parents are getting divorced. Sucks being in the middle. Help and ideas appreciated.
Sorry to hear that Ryan. Whatever their reasons, I'm sure they don't love you any less.
Clearly stating that you will not take sides will hopefully avoid any further unpleasantness.

How do I hack hotmail accounts?
I'm sure my girl is cheating on me.
Oh boy...
This is purely for educational reasons and mainly to improve everybody's security.
When you open a Hotmail account, the secret question you choose is always laughably easy to anybody that knows you fairly well.
Favourite colour, first car, mothers maiden name etc.
Choose something way out so people can't do what Ben here is doing.

Ignorance is bliss in some cases. You might not like what you're going to
find there.

Hey Gav/Hallion I have been in a band for 1 year and dream of one day making big like metallica,cradle of filth, etc. I want to take a professional path with our music ya know a straight edge approach where we work our asses off to get where we want to be in this business and keep away from drugs/alcohol/ and other stuff that usually screws up bands before they know it. but my band members are only interested in smoking truck loads of weed drinking until they are legless and chasing anything in a skirt.Look i enjoy the skirt chasing ;) but the rest of the stuff I am against but since I have a girlfriend I cant really chase skirts no more. And my band members are calling me a boring old fag. Do you think I am to uptight and a boring old fag like they say?. or should I kick them out of the band and start from scratch with a new line up. Any advice would really help me out.

A very good question! Well, to start with
the you and the band members No.1 priority should be MUSIC! Alcohol, drugs,
sex should never get in the way of that priority. Totally agree with you on
that score Kevin. There's a time for work and a time for play. Oh and
believe me there's plenty of bands out there that are trying to relive
Motley Crue's "The Dirt" without making the music to go with it haha
Personally speaking, I've never known or
seen weed to be conducive to "getting shit done" either.
We're all in a situation like yourself,
we all have our wives/girlfriends too. Juggling a personal/home life and an
aspiring music career is not always easy either. As Tom Waits said, "It's
like walking two dogs that don't like each other every night". Credit to ya
on that too.
You're by no means a "boring fag" Kevin,
you just have different priorities there. Unless the band mates start
putting in as much "work" as they do "play", I wouldn't let it last another
year there. Don't let your musical ambitions suffer for it. Hope it all
works out for ya!
A short n sweet start to this new
feature. Next month, either Mikey or Andy will be taking your questions.So
send them in!
Thanks to everybody who sent them in,
wish you all the best!
