I love bands that can actually have fun and can poke fun at themselves. This is without a doubt one of the funniest videos ever made. If it WAS the 80's, these guys would be one of the biggest bands ever and they would have won an MTV Video Award for this video. But sadly it is not the 80's, and we live in an era where John Mayer is considered a Guitar God. Don't get me wrong, I like JM, I respect him; but he ain't no Guitar God as many would have you believe.
@kennaboo252 Hey.. At least now that they are back he can re-create this part of his life, without the getting high, which is great. Can't wait for their comeback!
I can't see how such a good band couldn't take themselves seriously. They do what they do like no other. I'm so glad the original group is back together!
@Gibdo88 they are brilliant, i recently saw them live at download festival 2011, they were fucking awesome, sooo glad they are back together and finally working on a new album as well, should be awesome once it has been released :) :D
The shame with music in America is that everyone takes everything way too seriously. Sure, in the 80's, it was all about having fun, but it all got ruined in the 90's and the fun never came back. So a band like this, who has a blast doing what they doing, could never possibly make it big here in the US. So glad they are giving it another go, though
LOL, you could tell justin was so high @1:20 and if you pay attention to his lip syncing in the video...LOVE IT!!! ahaha....And I wish I knew how to play the Keytar like he does!!! ROCK ON GUYS!!! LOVE YOU ALL! And can't wait to see you in this new tour! CONGRATS ON THE REUNION!
@seexsi Yeah, they got back together, and are opening for Def Leppard at Download Fest this year. Its gonna be amazing, but unfortunately I live in America. They also got the original Bass player back (which I am freakin excited about!!).
@seexsi Yeah. Its pretty much everywhere....Go look it up on Google, or even type in "The Darkness Reunion" into Youtube. There is interviews and other stuff about it. I believe that the stuff that Dan Hawkins was using for the Stone Gods is now going to transition over into the Darkness stuff? I am not sure if it is true, but those are the rumors I've been hearing about their new album. Same with Hot Leg and everything Justin has written.
Ok, well i have reaaaaally bad knees (true story) i can't run, jump, or dance. i am 14 and haven't been able to run for 8 years or play in gym. BUT when i ge my knees fixed the first fucking thing im doing is dancing like Justin!!! hahaha i love this video!!!!
@TheChloeLedger - Wish you the very very best of luck with your future operations to fix your knees :) Hope you are, indeed, dancing like Justin soon :) It's great to hear of people your age loving bands like this - so many don't appreciate music of this quality. Fair play to you and, again, really, genuinely wish you all the very best with everything :)
@CitroenC407 Thanks you!! Yeah a lot of the kids these days listen to REALLY bad music and my phone went off in class one time and the ringtone was Queen:Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and my teacher didn't take because it was that song! So lesson learned: Good music takes you a looong way!
As much as I deeply respect the Darkness, I can't imagine this guy has a penis. Even a five year old girl can't sing in such a high yet strong voice. It really is a talent.
@sirpc2 I wish more bands were funny like this lol Too many bands are too serious about their shit then they burn out so quickly. They don't know how to have fun with what they got.
@TRE1275 That's what I always liked about The Darkness; they brought the fun back to rock. Sure, this song is built around a Status Quo chord sequence (nothing to brag about, really) but it's wonderfully catchy. I think my favourite Darkness song has to be "Love On The Rocks (With No Ice)" and I'd love them to do an album of material like that now they've reunited.
@thedarknessareawsome Thanks for the info about the back flips...Justin's sense of humor cracks me up...there is just something completely lovable about that guy, not to mention the awesome voice and brilliant song writing and kick ass guitar playing.
They where about a 100 times better before Frankie Poullain left and it kind of makes sense that they broke up only a year after he left. Bands can over come people going to rehab but there where obviously other problems.
