The Darkness - Is it just me - live on letterman

[DetroitDude777]

Fucking great riff, great song, great band. Put's the fun back into rock and roll like there's supposed to be. There's been too much whining and crying from the likes of all these Daughtry type bands. The Darkness, now this here is REAL rock and roll folks.

[MrTrex99]

The Darkness are the best band to come out of the last decade!!!!

[darkstar0000001]

i put his voice right up there with bruce dickinson from iron maiden....just pure awesomeness....these are the two best male vocalists i have ever heard...

[TheatreLoverify]

This is awesome! I'm loving this!

[hellsbells3084]

Awesome

[heartbreakerdu85]

I have to watch this video every week to feel better. It's a kickass performance, a great song. I love the groove during the chorus.

[firststatebank2]

The REASON one does not hear the other vocals is because the studio version has Justin listed alone as vocals credit. Cynthia Darkette. Saw live at first USA venue in Baltimore 5 ft from stage. Sir J WINKED at ME - and it did not go unnoticed by friends or my spouse. Saw again in DC about 6 mths later larger venue. Dance like crazy. Fibromyalgia pain go away for a couple of days! ME FIRST !!! I want so badly to sing w/them vice versa in dreams since I lost McCartney's tel.# 571-323-8163USA

[firststatebank2]

Lennon/ Ringo 71 this year. Love The Darkness. Hold all in esteem. Best group since ah.. years!Want marry Justin have baby. Oh. Forgot.Already married no children. Dramatic sop w/ 3-4 octave depend on piece. Justin sings falsetto? No.Tiny Tim did. Justin naturally trained gifted vocalist baritone / tenor.Higher notes natural voice progression.Guitars smoke!! Try to reach couple years. 571-323-8163 USA,DC nun-olsen@gmail.com Cynthia – Inherited music-need help. Sad Story "Bout TD’s age - hope!

[thewonkahd1]

his soo good live!

[seanjosephhayes]

The vocals involved in that and he performed it live and perfectly... Yet amateurish pop stars can't go one live performance without miming... Brilliant Justin... I wish they did the harmonies live though like from the album... Really gives that extra OOMPH to the song imho...

[patoblet]

2:11 twin guitars!! I love it

[gfmgma]

his voice is unbelievably awesome

[stylst]

8 people are def and blind..

[centurytunaadobo]

they're fucking awesome live!

[zakan95]

the hawkins brothers (Y) :D

[patoblet]

That riff kicks ass!!

[dbrew2u]

Ladies and Gents. This is what Real Rock is suppose to sound like .

[benmols]

Drummer looks like Rory Gallagher in this.

[InfiniteRhombus]

I hated richie so much, I have no idea why, he just seemed so out of place.

[RebeStina]

thank god to they reunited, can't wait to see them in the summer! <3

[pouleto1]

he sings so pretty

[Dragon456345]

THEY ARE FREAKING FUCKING BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[Pewterist]

the beautiful Justin is back in my life

[kruns203]

they are back 

[ckelley63]

Kinda reminds me of Aldo Nova.

[MuaBezGlave]

THEY ARE BACK

[Webmistress]

This makes me happy.

[LeeJ2512]

aside from queen and meatloaf these are guys are the best live

[JonasOfSweden]

@LeeJ2512 Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden are pretty fuckin good too :)

[tennentsable]

the darkness will return! they are currently working on a new album as we speak i hope they tour again iv seen them twice and they are fucking rocking live!

[KrossPoison1]

i wish we coulda seen more of richie playin bass, he looks so bad ass in this xD

[seekeroftruthandjust]

heres a song for ya

[JoeyThe14th]

apparently theyre coming back!

[JBodine67]

is his bass even plugged-in?...If you can't hear it,it's irrelevant.

[lithurgy]

@JBodine67 no, its definitely there, its just YOU cant hear it. you are irrelevant.

[JBodine67]

@lithurgy ...sorry,I meant no harm.....your words have stabbed me in the heart;and,I feel I have offended you in some way...I 'pologize lithurgy ma'am....I'pologize...

[camaroman101]

@lithurgy lol

[manrocksupreme]

The Darkness Kick Ass! One Way Ticket was a killer album. Get it if you dont have it. Lets bring The Darkness Back!!

[Twintone2007]

they have to return - but in the original lineup!!



[MrLucasD93]

i miss the darkness :''''''( ,they were fucken awesome

[hootyhaha]

@MrLucasD93 Just look up Hot Leg Trojan Guitar and you'll find Justin Dave Hawkins singing again. Or Hot Leg Cocktails. Tell everybody else.  Send the links out.

[dethisbtfl]

love these guys... wish the brothers would bury the hatchet and start making rock again

[autoset1980]

why cant i find the video for this!! can anyone find it, ive seen parts of it, its hilarious! someone upload it if they have it! woo!

[ShazzyBebazzi]

@autoset1980 I tried to upload it to Youtube literally about half an hour ago and it got blocked due to copyright :(

But I managed to find it on Daily Motion. Just type "is it just me the darkness video" into google and click on the video from that website :)

[godfreyjones25]

they're back you know...

[stankler]

let there be darkness!!!!!..cmon ive given you the new album title.get frankie back .and do it

[Lennycoma]

I'm still a darkling it seems Love this band Not heard any of the songs in about 2yrs, All the memorys just came flooding back

[Drakefinal]

This is awesome!!!

[gpappyavnub]

comeback headdicks!

[takeout4]

the awesome bass player is gone?wahhht!

[RythmTR]

hey its the riff of given the dog a bone by ACDC!

[971QKE]

These guys could have brought back metal, its so sad they had to break up. Although I've heard repeatedly and from different sources that Justin is a dick and a half. Neither of the two bands that they broke off into are worth a damn. They each have one moderately good song, and the rest just blows. What a shame.

[Agogemaster13]

Anyone know where I can find the original video for this song? It was AWESOME and whoever had it took it down. Makes me soooo sad!

[OptikResolutions]

Stone Gods Are Better i hope the stone gods stay together

[bigcowboybuilder]

what happened!!

[shadowcrimsonflare]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get together again. Move past the drugs and Rock Out again. You guys are the keeper of the flames!!

[pighoglet]

Fantastic, Hot Leg and Stone Gods both great bands since this time, but this is the real shit, real quality music and a shame that the other media shite caught up with them and robbed their credabilty. Their success was won the hard way and thats why there will always be a place in peoples hearts for the darkness. Great playing with great songs, not manufactured crap.

[emailroy2002]

why did they changed the bass player?

[MrSkodaman]

@emailroy2002 So called "musical differences" although depending on who you believe much of it seems to come to the fact that Justin Hawkins, brilliant front man as he is, is also a total a*se. Frankie Poullain, the original bass player, has written a book "Dancing in the Darkness" which is well worth a read.

[fupaladin01]

Justin gives his bro the shaft at 2:19. Coulda been a nice moment.

[CrzyFooL67]

This isn't The Darkness!! Justin is wearing far too much clothing!!

[SoloDallasII]

Ritchie's bass is way too cutting. It overpowers Dan' and Justin's guitars.

[pontiac91]

Bring that shit on!!!! how good !!!!!

[Monsterjoerocks]

Check out HOT LEG. It's Justins new band. AMAZING MAN-ROCK

[uliqed]

Howly cow !!!

[donniedarko88888]

one of the few vocals that sound exactly the same on the studio versions and live

[DarkJoker7]

@donniedarko88888 thats because this is also one of the few bands that play the song the same tempo live as on the album...it can really screw the singer up if he has to move through the notes faster...especially if there's a low note then a high note

[hopelesslydavey]

this is just as amazing as the studio version

[harrydogg]

Awesome! The Darkness really were a great band. Don't forget Hot Leg though, they've got some pretty great songs too!

[antisadism]

Great glam rockers.

[PeterAcoustic]

Does Justin Hawkins use Debian? :-b

[PadraigHarrington1]

Does anyone know what happened to the official video of this song?

Its disappeared :(

Was a great video too!

[rhcprock89]

@PadraigHarrington1 I also miss it. :(

[PadraigHarrington1]

Does anyone know what happened to the official video of this song?

Its disappeared :(

It was a great video too!

[amfufu030692]

is it just me?? or ed graham is fat that time????

[amfufu030692]

is it just me?? or ed graham is fat that time????

[prothobs]

Wow Justin has SICK vocals... awesome

The whole band is all around epic

[kurtvs]

This band was over way too soon. An absolute pleasure to listen to.

[LedZeppelinforever19]

@kurtvs agreed that's the problem band's face when their debut album is so popular.

[craigm1995]

i just really noticed how good the darkness are like when they first came out i just sorta thought of them as the singer with the weird high voiced guy but no i really like them

[zod63]

GREAT! Classic rock!

[ernie90900]

totally awesome!

[confilollo]

stone gods fuc.K

w the darkness!!!!!!!!!

[TheBasje1993]

shut up!

[theweddingsinger1970]

why did they split :(

[Bobaganush26]

best live performance of this song

[mudkickeer]

man får orgasm av hans röst alltså.

[MoneyMayes20]

If you like the darkness listen to hot leg same band pretty much

[bizarrebob]

the bit where they all play the guitars in the middle is like the best thing ive ever seen.

i hope the Darkness return

[michaeljacksonislvbl]

@bizarrebob he has a new band hot leg

[Shad0wBalrog]

@bizarrebob its called "solo". :)

lol "the bit where they all play the guitars" xD

[Crazybenjiwoo]

@bizarrebob listen to cold sweat by thin lizzy, the harmonics are very Very simular

[hootyhaha]

@bizarrebob Just look up Hot Leg Trojan Guitar and you'll find Justin Dave Hawkins singing again. Or Hot Leg Cocktails.

[LeeJ2512]

@bizarrebob they have! :D the darkness are back! im spammin every darkness vid to get the word out! people need to know its safe to put down the bieber cd!

[bizarrebob]

@LeeJ2512 - thanks man :-D cant wait to hear new material

[thedarknessareawsome]

@bizarrebob luckily they have!

[JoeyThe14th]

@bizarrebob your wish comes true

[InfiniteRhombus]

@bizarrebob they have

[aalton]

@bizarrebob Wish is granted brother!!!!!!!!!



[tomiclav]

how to sing that high??

[BillB808]

stone gods even....doh

that's how little flippin impact they're making eh

[StoneGodsAusTeam]

Both Stone Gods and Hot Leg must be making an impact if they both had songs in the Top 100 Rock Songs of the decade list.....Especially Stone Gods, they played mainstage at Donington for christs sake, yes, we all miss The Darkness but the world moves on every day and it's all about the now!

[BillB808]

Stone temple pilots ain't really working. Hot leg most definately ain't workin.....Get back together ye fools, it just worked...perfectly

[JegErKing1990]

Well, Stone Temple Pilots haven't been working for quite some time. That is Scott Weiland's old band.

You mean Stone Gods, but I actually think they are pretty cool.

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

@JegErKing1990

STP have been re-united since Scott got fired from Velvet Revolver around 2 years ago, theyre touring at the moment and have a new single

[wwghedfwe]

stone gods u mean..

[hereslookinatyoukid]

man, i miss this band...Justin has such a huge voice!

[sgtshooter1]

i loved this band, this was one of my fave songs :( i listened to theyre album (one way ticket to hell) so many times ive lost count, if theyre was one band i could choose to get back together it would be the darkness :)

[pacothetaco556]

A great live performance.........the sign of a great band..........wish they never broke up.

[francyati]

stupendo l'accordo di chitarra!

[dcgeetar]

wow, this was a perfect performance

[lfgubrs]

We all miss The Darkness<3 :( Come back to us please!

[srdecko]

new age of real rock is comming? The Darkness / Hot leg / Stone gods, Airbourne... i feel optimistic, hoping for some true rockin in next decade :)

[furgrayfreak]

total gay rock out

[dadadruma]

i fucking miss rock like this god damn

[tmbbcck]

these guys were the last of a dying breed that could've been huge rock stars. too bad shit like lil wayne is all you see on MTV now

[Ali3nat0r]

@tmbbcck Well there's still Airbourne, but I doubt they'll make it as far into the mainstream as The Darkness did

[takeout4]

@tmbbcck i wouldnt say they were the last, id say they where a reminder of the past and hopefully the future

[rockersince1995]

@tmbbcck not even rap , u see slutty 16 year old girls.., having babies

[hootyhaha]

@tmbbcck Just look up Hot Leg Trojan Guitar and you'll find Justin Dave Hawkins singing again. Or Hot Leg Cocktails.

[C130wannabepilot]

for the record I know the first bassist was called Frankie Poullain and not "thunderbird moustache man"and I also know "baldy p-bass man" is actually Richie Edwards.

[Kissito14]

son la piola

[hjf11393]

im kinda disappointed that he doesnt use his extremely high voice for this, other than the end.

[Catatofish]

This is Justin's mad coke and drinking binge stage and Dan looks like Darlene from Rosanne!

Such a shame they split - Permission to Land is a fucking great rock album.

[stumpynadge]

Well said flamingonut, in these days of talentless wannabees on shit TV shows, here is a band doing it properly. Great tunes and good fun.

[gaarddarkwitch]

Indeed, couldn't have said it better, just too bad they only have two albums... =( this is one of those bands I could listen to forever.

[flamingonut]

Sorely missed :(

[RichHoltGuitar]

i hate how they split. this is a sign of the big things to come!

[zackpliskin]

I think it is just him. Great song, even better hair.

[jockejocke1]

bloody brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!

[C130wannabepilot]

baldy p-bass man thinks he's playin the guitar at least thunderbird moustache man knew he was playin bass

[shep79]

Funny. True. BUT Baldy P-Bass is really a guitarist anyways....so it makes sense that he would play that way!

[metalupyourass169]

its weird havin a fukn cueball bass player in a band full of long haired rockers

[metalupyourass169]

yea wierd havin a fukn cueball bass player in a band full of long haired rockers just doesnt belong lol

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

fuckin lol "the thunderbird moustache man"...frankie poullain shud legally change his name to that

[ronova]

I miss this band

[Monica1C3]

I see they had Jus tone down the falsetto for America. I like his normal register better. It's weird, when he puts his hand in the air and makes that fist he pulls down, I feel like I'm looking in a mirror.

[davidstoklosa]

justin kicks ass on the guitar

[Keenok11]

OH MY GOD...I wish the Darkness would just get back together.....the Stone Gods kinda suck and Hot Leg aint that great either, i wish Justin would just get back with the crew

[gsprulz]

Stone gods are amazing! hot leg ehh not so much

[Burnyoursins]

Other way around, lol

[gsprulz]

really?

[Burnyoursins]

Definitely sounds like most things I hear on Canadian radio, that just may be Canada though, either way, I still have yet to hear another band around like The Darkness these days, or even Hot Leg

[gsprulz]

there two remaining darkness members in the band btw. you cant hear anything like stone gods on the radio here. neither did the darkness get any radio time here in the states.

[Burnyoursins]

Only one ORIGINAL member, baldy wasn't on the first album

[gsprulz]

he's not an originial but he's from the darkness last lineup which makes him a original member of the darkness cause there no more.

[Burnyoursins]

No, that just makes him a member of The Darkness, an original member is someone who was there from the beginning, for example: Ed, Dan, Justin, and Frankie, all the original members of the band, baldy didn't come in until after the first album, Dan is the only ORIGINAL member of The Darkness left in the Stone Gods, and the only member left from when they had their original sound, Baldy didn't contribute much to the second album.

[gsprulz]

he was originally from the darkness!! he wasnt the original, he was originally in the darkness!!

[Burnyoursins]

God damn, how old are you? It doesn't matter if he was in The Darkness or not, fuck, I'm saying that he was not part of the ORIGINAL, meaning from the god damn beginning, line up for The Darkness, he is not an original member, you need to read a few books, your English comprehension is terrible.

[gsprulz]

man, i just wrote it there for you. since you obviously dont get it LOL. he's not a original member DUH! were passed that. im saying he was in the darkness so he was originally from the darkness. you get what im saying man? failure to communicate or somthin, jesus christ..

[Burnyoursins]

I thought it would of been apparent that I DID understand that he originally came from The Darkness before he was in Stone Gods, as I said, but that isn't the point, the point is that it doesn't matter if he was originally from The Darkness or not, since he was not an integral part of their sound on any of the albums, nor was he even on the first album, he is not an original member, and therefore is not viewed by me as being part of The Darkness BECAUSE all he did was play stuff already written

[StoneGodsAusTeam]

You know Chris McDougall was actually the most original Darkness guitarist...

[Burnyoursins]

This whole argument stems from the fact that I said there was only one original member of the band remaining, that member being Dan, this was never about where Baldy was ever IN The Darkness or not, we all know he was, what I was saying is that since there is only one remaining original member, Stone Gods isn't pretty much The Darkness anymore, it stopped being "pretty much The Darkness" when Ed left, just to be clear, no more arguing please, since I've made all my points clear

[gsprulz]

no you said like they lost there sound because all these departures when thats not true. the stone gods chose a different direction musically, and the singers are way different.

[Burnyoursins]

Wouldn't the fact that the previous vocalist, and main songwriter left have an impact on their sound? Think about it, lol

[gsprulz]

yes of course, didnt i just say that hahaha

[C130wannabepilot]

and not baldy bassist either!

thunderbird mustache man has2 come back as well

[litepunk]

"thunderbird mustache man"- LOL

[celtics55pommy]

i would do anything for his seashell les paul, and hot leg aren't as good as the darkness, but that is pretty hard :)

[MrCrisDay]

who wouldn't

bit of a bother that's it's the only one in existence lol

[mcronnymc]

justin hawkins has his own band called hot leg, pretty good

[PJownsyoursoul]

The "new bass player" doesn't fit in at all. He looks like an ex-Godsmack band member or some shit. He doesn't fit the part.

[cjscanlon0205]

he's the singer for stone gods which is the darkness without justin hawkins

[MrCrisDay]

and? he can play, sing and he's just awesome lol

[Burnyoursins]

Eh, his voice is pretty lame, they could of come up with a far better replacement for fucking Justin Hawkins, I mean, not that they could find a half way decent replacement for that God of man anyway, but still, and Stone Gods is pretty much Stone Gods, only one remaining original member of The Darkness, and the sound has completely changed. Hot Leg are a better band anyway, I like Dan a lot, but Stone Gods sound like every other band around now a days.

[fairjudged]

he looks really unhappy old justin :( they probs made him try and be more manly .. he blatently suited the catsuit and he well suits being glam metal in HL

[Derveregun]

Les Paul Seashell

[TimTehPilot]

what guitar is justin using when he plays this, its different
