  • Que buena esta de The Darkness

  • damn. this drummer is so awful!

  • Wen I have kids, music by then will b all computer created (even the person), nothing will b real, If they buy the latest Lisa Autotunebot CD, I WILL destroy, hopefully then they'll hav gd taste, i.e. from 50's Rock n roll to the The Darkness (I'll accept BVB, Within Temptation n Amaranthe)

  • Frankie without his T-bird! Booo! hahaha

  • @abboudnach you suck even more and no one's complaining. so, get lost...

  • it's so amazing that they are back, especially because frankie is back too... just like the old times!

  • @muhshadow too bad the drummer's back too..

  • THEY'RE BACK!!! FUCK YEAH!

  • they learned from the best...

    gary moore R.I.P

  • justin hawkins.

    possibly the best rock n roll voice ever

  • it has a Fucken Sweet ass Solo

  • The drummer cant keep up the tempo..

  • @jariari live is live ;)

  • @Sportyb13 Means he can't really play the drums. Live is live.

  • they rock!!!

  • get back togeter darkess!!!!!

  • Justin Hawkins FTW.

  • fuck, my ears! almost killed me, I'm using phones.

  • @abboudnach You like Evanscence so screw off. This guy can get higher than the girl and the band and is a MUCH better singer. Truth is anyone can sing. Finding the one's who can sing better and have their own sound is much harder. The wardrobe's kind of a throwback to the wardrobe of the 70's and 80's. The guy gets 10x more women than you anyways so what does it matter. I know your not english but, please, atleast try.

  • true rock.... nuff' said

  • why does dan hawkins always wear the same t-shirt ??!!! :]]]] thin lizzy

  • @beautifulgarnier because thin lizzy fuckin rule..

  • @abboudnach anybody who thinks these guys suck should go listen to that justin beiber guy instead. have fun hanging out with the other 10 year old girls mate. im sure u have the same sized vigina as them. maybe the jonas brothers can tickle ur little clit u wanker

  • Comment removed

  • Nice fuck up by the drummer at 1:30 ;p He wasnt the best was he... ?

  • good song.............

  • His voice is so uniqueeeee, awesome band!

  • Justin had a drug problem. Understatement of the century lol. GET BACK TOGETHER!!

  • Such an under rated band

  • Amazing, they just came along and acted like it was okay to wear catsuits in this day and age--for that (among other things, musical talent, etc) i salute them

  • these guys are so fuckin bad azzz

  • i don't think they would have necessarily done better in the 1970's; they're a revamp of classic rock for the 21st century. I mean, they made it this far...

    It's a shame that they didn't take over and rise to the next level. The Darkness could have been giant!

  • @weenusmusic I couldnt agree more.

  • bbbeeesssttttttttttttttttt ggggilerrrrrrrrrrrrr lllllllggggggggguuuuuuuuuu niiiiiiiieeeeeeeee............­..............dah lme aku cri lgu nie...coz aku xtaw spe pnyanyi die n tjok lgu.........finaly dpt gak.....

  • @zylla1307 yeeee sameeeeee laaaaa kiteeeee.....tdngr kt hitz.fm..........

  • Its not too late to start a Facebook campaign to get Justin to sing in next years Eurovision. He really wanted it last year but some god awful thing did it instead.

  • In the 70's, they would have become the greatest band. But to me, they were the greatest band anyway

  • you guys are idiots. they are not back together, but justin has had a new band for over a year. its called hot leg

  • Man, Hawkins is wasting such a good voice right now, then need to make some more shit and come back

  • They are good musicians and permission to land was a good album. Kinda went the wrong way after that imo. Shame, as they know how to write songs well.

  • I used listen to this song while driving down the desert in Iraq.

  • I love these guys. They rock. Permission to Land is one of the best rock albums ever (falling behind to Blackbird by Alter Bridge). However, these guys deserve massive props on sounding almost just like the album version. Great job guys.

  • hey guys, the darkness are maybe reforming, justin and dan are currently doing demos at justin's studio and their gonna see if they can get label attention =) if they do they may do it again

  • Why they sent Justin off the band?

    he's like 50% of the band... ¬¬

  • that control is so amazing! not many singers can do that especially guys. AND LIVE lol

  • I love the Darkness. The only albums outside of the 70s that I would advise buying. Get ya some Thin, Lizzy Deep Purple and Darkness and you are well on your way.

  • how does he get his voice that high....ouch

  • whats up with justin anyway, he left 4 rehab didnt he??

  • i hope they reunite!

  • Wow JH dressed as Beetlejuice! Aww I miss these dudes. And I agree with whoever said JH would have been a better replacement for Freddie Mercury. His voice is perfect and he's a real showman.

  • 70s vuelven

  • oh god i fuckin LOVE this band...... one of the best gigs i've ever seen. miss them so much...

  • A lot of people gave them shit about just being a spinal tap / queen pisstake, but it's plain to see here they were fuckin' awesome musicians. I really miss them, hope they get back together.

  • this is exactly what happens when cocain takes over. drugs fucked justin

  • @mikeys11 u are stupit

  • @mikeys11 seems like your wish was granted :)

    

  • I think Justin would have been the perfect replacement for Freddie in Queen,better than Paul Rodgers.

  • Yes, but Paul the next year will be a tour with his group. Queen do History and never nadie remplezed a Freddie Mercury

  • heh, they should do a reunion tour!

  • Ye that would be good. but what are the chances of it?

  • @ssassass123 we can only hope! That would be awesome!

  • hehe the bass player looks like a porn star

  • He looks like Ben Stiller in disguise

  • I saw Hot Leg live at Norwich Waterfront and it was awesome =]

  • What fret is that capo on?

  • The seventh, my friend.

  • justin is using a gibson goldtop which by the which signature of slash...

  • thats Dan btw, not Slashs signature one, that came out a few years after this vid was made...and theres loadsa goldtops, this I do believe is a standard one...tho I could be wrong

  • you are wrong... dan hawkins (justin´s brother) is using a gibson les paul goldtop, like slash.

  • Same here, i've got both Stone God and Hot Leg albums, two fantastic albums, saw Stone Gods support Airbourne, aswell last year, awesome gig. I miss the Darkness. Anyway keep on rockin everyone and lets keep Rock alive!!!

  • this is my motherfxcking jaaaaaam!!

  • me encanta esta cancion... i love it!!

  • muito bom

  • Justin Hawkins Is my Hero

  • This is when 2 great guitar players are in one band! =)

  • banana

  • I dunno man, why? Lol.

  • Does anyone know how Ed Graham is getting on now???

  • Yeah Ed's doing ok I believe, he's in his own band as well now called karaoke for begginers, due to play a gig in my home town soon :)

  • Do they need a bass player?

  • Man, i really love this band.

    I almost cried when these broke up.

    First Album i bought - permission to land

    First Singlei bought- christmas time

    First concert - winter tour 04

    They were so good, i just wish they could get back together ?

    Seen them twice, best band in the world.

    I even prefer them to AC/DC who i saw 2 weeks ago. :)

    Hopefully seing Hotleg soon, but they're nothing on the darkness. nor Stone Gods

  • is 1 off these in stone god thn?

  • all three are apart from Justin (the singer)

  • have they split up????

  • shows how much of a fan you are.

    They split up in 06

  • i thought they reformed under a new name without justin

  • Yeah, Stone Gods.

    And Justin's in a new band now, Hot Leg.

    Where have the fans gone man.

    Am i the only true fan left?

  • i get really bummed wen brilliant bands break up before theyre time...some should be going long into the futr...but drugs usually decinegrate these great bands

  • their best song

  • I saw them live in philly at the tla and they were one of the best in terms of energy and talent. They rocked in a big way RESPECT

  • im buying those humbuckers and putting them in my peavey only way to get that sound, anyway one of the greatest songs ever, but the drummer sped up and slowed down a few times unmistakingly, surprised cause the drumming ain't too tough on this one

  • Do you know what kind he's using here? Cos i want in on that action too

  • humbuckers + marshall stack will get you that sound =D i see some mesaboogies on there to ;D

  • I totally agree! I use a Gibson Classic with 500 496 ceramic humbuckers ran through a Marshall AVT150 1/2 stack and split through an ABY to another Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier half stack. There's no other way to create that true rock sound if you ask me!

  • after the darkness split up frankie sold his gibson thunderbirds on ebay went for like only £800-900 lol. if it wud of been justins les paul. i would of bought it

  • no reason ther good basses but he usually plays the gibson thunderbird

  • why is frankie playing a fender?

  • What a band!!!!!!!

  • Mitici!

  • Best Rock N' Roll band since GNR!!!

  • awesome

  • Rock n Roll inside....

  • its a shame about justin,i watched a few interviews and he seems a broken man,but he should take heart in the fact that the darkness and this song will fucking rock forever!!!!!!!!!!!we love you and glad you rocked us!

  • bissl arm dass eine damals eig. gute band wie the darkness in so ner miesen show auftritt.

  • brilliant record

  • amazing

  • Damn I love this band. Although I like Justin's new band HotLeg, and the Stone Gods they just don't compare to The Darkness.

  • meh, the whole ultra ego Hotleg seems to have turns me off it, and yea, Stone Gods just cant compare to the amazingness of Permission To Land, one of my favourite albums of all time

  • If they had stayed on the lines of their first album, do you reckon theyd still be going?

  • If Justin had stayed off of coke, they'd still be going.

  • Now he's in Hot Leg, they're going to release their first album in January ( this month !! )

  • no lol, Justin seems to have an ego problem now, the whole im a god of rock thing has gone to his head i think

  • Justin left the Darkness so he could get off of coke. I doubt he would've left otherwise.

  • yea but now hes in Hotleg, which is like yay we r gods, and y wouldnt he just rejoin The Darkness? they formed Stone Gods cuz he was not coming back, plenty of artists have gone to rehab without lving bands, ie. Anthony Keidis

  • It's an indie band. Much less pressure. Which is also why he's not "like yay we r gods." They're just screwing around and I doubt they take themselves that seriously.

  • meh, i dont kno any of this for sure, im just making a guess-stimate, still dont see y he couldnt have just got back with The Darkness but oh well, and lol, if i had a voice like Justin i'd prlly be pretty full of myself too

  • No, even after Justin got sober, The Darkness still wouldn't have gotten back together. He said that it was a combination of his addiction AND a lack of creativity within the group. He's stated before that he wasn't as happy with the second album. He also said that with Hot Leg, he wants to take it slow since The Darkness happened so quickly.

  • I said coke was the reason he left, not the reason he didn't rejoin.

  • he wasn't the only one, read Spin this month.

  • I love you guys. You bring The Leg hard.

  • are you guys dumb ? the best drummers ever were John Bonham and Keith Moon, you simply can't argue

  • They can all they want lol, John Bonham was really good, but he's not the best by far, and Keith Moon, again, while extraordinary, not the best by a long shot

  • I want The Darkness back! They were so fucking cool!

  • Yeh, me too!

  • how does the guitarist get a totally clean acoustic sound from his guitar? 2 amp system?

  • he'll have something in his rack or one of his pedals

  • or maybe he is using a piezo pick up ( it's an "acoustic simulator" )

  • trojan guitar from hot leg is awesome!

  • i want reunion tour!!!

  • yeah buddy rich and joe morello <3

  • i'm so sad they splitted up

  • Its a shame they broke up. A damn shame.

  • tht drummer was always miserable

  • great voice

  • lmao Grunting about nothing eh?

    I never knew iron maiden,metallica,iced earth, or skid row were all grunting...

  • shit house?? yeah grunting all the way to the bank hahaha...

  • He can't even double kick well lmao

  • the dakrness will always be one of my favourite bands. i bet that apart from being musicians they must be really nice people - i just love when people make fun of themselves. it says a lot of good about their character. life's not that serious, after all, is it?

    anyway, i think it's really sad for anyone to say that love's only a feeling. i hope that's not what they truly believe. or if they do, i hope they'll admit one day they were wrong.

    take care :D

  • my dad met justin and dan and said they were totally cool, the next day i messaged justin on myspace about it and he got back to me and was a really nice guy, theyre one of my favorite bands as well and its good to know that theyre quality people

  • es la mejor cancion!!! y es cierto, tiene un parecido a la voz de Freddie Mercury, muy identica por eso me gusta!!! Es una de las mejores bandas!!!

  • shit! Justin has a new band! When did they start. Hes my favorite musician of this time. But i thought he was going solo. Hot leg is his new band?

  • simply fantastic

  • Justin sometimes REALLY reminds me of Freddie Mercury's voice. On the recordings, the higher parts especially reminded me of freddie. Live, eh, not to much. But on the recordings, yea there's def some influence from Queen ..big time.

  • i agree on the one way ticket album they made alot of stuff that reminded me of queen

  • Brilliant!! I love it! Reminds me of the 80s! Bring back ROCK N ROLL!!

    They kinda remind me of GNR....

  • please never say the darkness remind u of the mighty GN'R again lolol

  • Haha, it's just this song really. And maybe it's cause Justin's voice is unique like Axl's? Oh i duno...xD

    I wont say that in public again, lol...

  • i know what u meant but theyre just not guns n roses lol. theyre like glam rock

  • Do you mean The Darkness are glam rock or GnR?

    Cause remember when GnR started out, they were glam rock. Definately.

    Do you like the Darkness though?

  • i mean that the darkness are kinda glam rock.

    i know GN'R were glam to start but i think they did that just coz it was like fashion or sumthing. i do like the darkness but

  • Yeah, that makes sense. I reckon they did it to fit in...you're right.

    Yeah, i like the darkness too...they're just not as fucking brilliant as Gn'R; am i right? lol :)

  • u are right actually. no1 will ever b as gd as gn'r were back then and still are now

  • Yeah...do you like the new Gn'R? I do...i love all the songs that leaked out!

  • yeah theyre still gd but it just doesnt fell like the old guns n roses. without slash , duff and izzy its not the same. but the songs are still great.i seen them live in 2006 and it was amazing simply because axl was there

  • Oh wow, i'm so jealous! I would give anything to see Axl live! But you're so right, it's not the same without the originals. GnR are eligible for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 2010 i think it is, so maybe they will have one last gig or something then? What do u think?

  • im not sure if they would get back together coz every1 seems to be getting along ok apart from slash and axl (and i dont think duff likes axl)

    all the others hav got back together really even steven adler.

    im hoping it would happen but

    i would kill to see them all back together

  • Nah Duff and Axl are on talking terms again...it's in Axl's biography.

    But yeah, i'd kill to see them back together too, lol...

    By the way...do you think that Axl, like, goes on the internet to see what people think of him? On youtube or whatever...hmmm..

  • no he doesnt giv a shit what ppl think.

    hes just an asshole but a very talented asshole

  • lol...harsh. He is one hell of a fantastic frontman though!!

  • they're so fuckin rock !!!!!!

  • yaas bring bak glam rock!!

    these guys rule

  • Amazing Band! My favourite band ever! I have alot of respect for these guys! Check out the Stone Gods! They Kickass!

  • i agree stone gods rock i cant sop listening to them or the darkness they will rock forever

  • Looks like he is playing a Les Paul Silverburst. Very nice.

  • I think it's a "Justin Hawkins Signature". It was on the Gibson custom website a while ago. It's a very unique silverburst with tree of life inlay and vibrato, not just a normal silverburst. :)

    but you're right it's very nice

  • best song by them bar none!! where are they now??

  • permission to land is the best album by far, and possibly one of the best albums ever made in my opinion cos it was awesome. and also i hav the same birthday as ed graham not tht tht rly means a lot but stil

  • i only hope to see them once more again together =(

  • I CANT CHOOSE BETWEEN THE 2 ALBUMS

    they are TWO Monsters

    i only wish they would still exist

    never got to see them live

    if they ever decide to do a reunion show of some kind im there even if it costs me one leg to get the money

  • Same here friend.

  • Incredible. Pretty easily one of the best songs they had created as far as emotion and guitar implication went. Also he really didn't do that bad live either. Splitting vocals and guitar is harder than it looks

  • well no need for abusive language mate.
