[Voliveira96]

Brian May aí?Curti demais!gostei dessa banda!

[5150VanAlien]

Brian May did the same thing and track when Def Leppard played at the same venue (Hammersmith Apollo) on Halloween night I think it was 2003 or 2004 and the place went NUTS!

[mariam4979]

Wherever Brian May is , the music will be fantastic. He is a legend and best guitarist we ever had. We are blessed to have such a talented musician. I hope to see you live in a concert.

[JamesLProductions]

[ReDLaNGaMeR]

SINGER OUT OF TUNE

[MustLoveCherries]

OBSCENELY COOL!!!!

[UPOMINKIIIIII]

the voice was not at all adequate to the song....

[esaiusmusic]

sounds great, pitty Justin Hawkins is singing flat as a pancake

[CheapKat3]

Looks like a fun time, but WTF was that guy wearing?!

[jpjolley]

i love it!!! absolutely unreal!!! 

[saraelizah]

I love The Darkness and Queen, but this was no good. Maybe justin didn't have a lot of prep time? Our his voice was mostly gone? I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I really do.

[DarknessUnofficial]

@saraelizah Justin's voice was the same here as it was on all of the dates on the recent tour. I went to the Hammersmith that night, and while it did sound much better in person, I don't think Justin is suited to performing this song. That's a testament to Freddie in that he always set high standards in the vocal performances he did, Justin's a great singer with a good voice, but he's no Freddie Mercury.

[towelie120592]

I was there and it was AMAZING

[IggieJoy]

The Darkness are back????????? Great!!!!!!

[1ChillRebel]

This Vid has now been posted for All to see on FaceBook by the Official Queen Page... Quite The Honor!!! I wanna be Brian May, He gets to play with everybody nowadays.... ; ) A True ROCK GOD!!!

[Queen7185]

This proves my point when people say justin should of joined Queen, he cant sing Queen songs, Freddies songs are sooo! hard to sing, hes better creating more great music with THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKNESS!!­!

[Spirou12345678]

@Queen7185

Sure they are but TYMD was written by Brian May though.

[Queen7185]

@Spirou12345678 i know it is -.- but Freddie sang the song...justin CANT

[dyertubexxx]

I was just listening to the chancelors report about the state of the British economy. I turned that bollocks off and put this on instead.

[gogogranny]

Brian May ... still awesome after all these years! Love you Brian!

[petercrisses]

Divendres passat...

[GvidasOleksandr]

Brilliant man, brialliant band, brilliant special guest btw, Hawkins still looks like a fucking hairy chinned fish

[GvidasOleksandr]

Looks like a fucking retarded fish with a hairy chin. Shave please.

[markbennett46]

spose he has to do something now his missus aint dancing anymore

[tomtucker81]

Off night, or song.he can certainly hold notes,maybe he just wasn't comfortable with that particular range in that song.but he's normally excellent.

[SuperTransistor]

This is the top!

[GWParadise]

He was sharing a stage with the legendary Brian May. I thought he held his own, but May raised everything about 10 notches from what he is used to. You see when he whipped the slide out of his pocket for the solo? Greatness!! The singer and the rest of the band look like they were living a dream come true!

[SweetBee13]

@GWParadise Justin said it WAS a dream come true on twitter :)

RT @JustinHawkins Brian May joined us onstage for 3 songs. A dream came true for us tonight :) x x x

[miguelbaptista]

I'm sure you Darkness fans wont like this question, but was this just an off night or this singer cant stay in tune ?

[maalbe987]

@miguelbaptista Definitely an off night. He's a great singer most of the time.

[EratoTiaTuatha]

@miguelbaptista Justin's got a geat voice and some amazing skills, but this song isn't exactly in his scale. He feels way more comfortable in songs where he can use his natural, highier voice. Besides, who wouldn't get a bit stressed with Brian May on stage next to him?;) And even with Freddie on vocals, Tie Your Mother Down was always played for fun. If you've seen a lot of Queen concerts you'd know, that Freddie never cared much about staying in tune NOR remembering the lyrics during this song

[ryhorn100]

@miguelbaptista Maybe it was an off-night. Not even Freddie Mercury could keep his voice that high all the time, as flawless as his singing could get.

[leonelambo09]

@miguelbaptista you obiously can't see that justin is a living legend

what top class band are you playing for ....

[DrGolfJam]

@miguelbaptista I think it's just cos its a cover and he had to sing in a "normal" pitch, lower than he usually does. When he does the high notes he always nails it!

[THEMIGHTYBOOSH9]

Wow

[Minimikeish]

Awesome and it looked like Brian really enjoyed it aswell :D

[MrMissmuppets]

You must've been standing right next to me,..ish!! Brilliant night and cracking footage.Bloody love em!

[hexmex100]

@MrMissmuppets - Great show - pleased I made the effort - was a bit nervous as to whether they'd still got it but so glad I did !!

[JayFreeMusic]

@MrMissmuppets The version of this song with the Foo Fighters is a great example of how much worse things can go. Here the singer has a harder time doing the lower parts where as there Taylor Hall can't hit any of the high notes, at all. I would rather have someone hit all the high notes and flub a bit of the less exciting parts personally. And as someone stated you have to take nerves into consideration when your singing on a stage with a living legend.

[vinunleaded]

@JayFreeMusic Taylor HaWKINS :-)

[birdyoung]

@MrMissmuppets Why even ask? Does it matter? Uh Yes,Now how about you go eff yourself!

[charliekaiser]

[mendonca98]

[iknowjaret]

Everyone's jaw hit the floor when he came on. Totally stole the glory of Justin's costume change.

[sheepdean]
