Is Talena's screen name notanadict666?
That was her screen name, however, it isn't anymore.
Why did Talena leave Kittie?
"I would like to clear something
up, the money wasn't an issue for me and that was not the reason for my departure, they replaced me before I even left. They
gave me an ultimatum, to sign something that I was unable to sign because it did not benefit me in the least and did not give
me control over myself, they said to sign it or leave because they had already found someone new to play bass. And that right
there was enough for me to decide on, if they could replace me that quickly without even talking to me then they obviously
didn't want me there anyways."

Laura Simmons asks the Kittie members who have dropped, did the drop for a reason or did the record label kick them out for the sake of the band?
Talena: "I would like to clear something up, the money wasn't an issue for me and that was not the
reason for my departure, they replaced me before I even left. They gave me an ultimatum, to sign something that I was unable
to sign because it did not benefit me in the least and did not give me control over myself, they said to sign it or leave
because they had already found someone new to play bass. And that right there was enough for me to decide on, if they could
replace me that quickly without even talking to me then they obviously didn't want me there anyways. They can state whatever
reasons they want for me leaving, they don't even know why because they never even called me to talk to me about it, they
had Jeff call me to tell me the news, and I am sure it makes them look better if I am a "money grubbing whore" or so they
have been saying." -TALENA ATFIELD
Tanya: She was not ready for the "BIG" rock scene, so when Kittie started hitting the main stage, she
took off. To my knowledge there was no hard feelings there, but I am going to e-mail her as well and ask.
Sachiel asked: I am having trouble figuring out the exact tuning that Talena plays in, do you know how she tunes her bass? I'll keep looking, but any help you could give
would be greatly appreciated.
“Brackish” is played
using dropped D tuning transposed down one whole step. In order to play along to the record, tune the low E string down two
whole steps (E to C), and the rest of the strings down one whole step (A to G, D to C, G to F, B to A, and high E to D).
Though original bassist Tanya Candler (later replaced by Talena Atfield) plays a five-string, we’ve
decided to arrange her part for a conventional four-string bass. Here’s why: On “Brackish,” Candler tunes
her strings up (low to high: C G C F A) in order to match guitarist Fallon Bowman’s lower five guitar strings. But tuning
up in this manner could put excessive tension and strain on your bass neck, which can result in structural damage to the instrument.
So unless you have a lot of experience setting up guitars and basses, I wouldn’t recommend tuning your bass to the higher
pitches (if you do, use lighter strings!). Instead, follow our four-string arrangement of Candler’s part (she doesn’t
even use the high string on this song anyway). All you have to do is tune the low E string down two whole steps (E to C) and
the rest of the strings down one whole step (A to G, D to C, and G to F). Then simply follow the bass tablature.

I thought Morgan had short blond hair, is the long brown hair her hair or extensions?
Mercedes Answered: Morgan hasn't had short blonde hair since we did
the charlotte video which was like a year ago...... since then she has been growing it out.
Besides on Sex Iz Hell where, can I find just a bunch of fucked up kids?
Mercedes Answered: see here is why their it is VERY hard to find
a copy of SIH with JABOFUK on it.... the were only 500 copies of SIH made... but only about 150 or so had JABOFUK.... so basically
only people with the white copy (which aren't a lot) have JABOFUK on the tape.
what size drumsticks do you use, 5a or 5b?
Mercedes Answered: I use the ahed Tommy lee stick which doesn't
have a size but I think it's a 2b
I want to know what you think of this press release that was posted on mtv.com about Fallon leaving and everything.
Talena Answered: unfortunately everything in the press release was true,
it was very vague. but I still love Fallon, these things happen I suppose, what can I do? I am sorry but I really don't
want to comment on this anymore and not because it is an "easy" way out or anything it is juts a very emotional situation
for me. I apologize.
Is "This Town" by Kittie and KoRn or not? I have heard both?
This Town Is by Human Waste Project. The Singer is Aimee Echo and yes Jonathan Davis (from KoRn)
is in it, but in NO way is Kittie in "This Town"
