if you think about it's a great rock song, but it's about geting bald...I mean..WTF? they were a great band anyway, they say that they're coming back, I hope so!
Actually I like that he went back to basics with Hot Leg. The second album was great, but the over-the-top keyboard/synth stuff made the songs harder to do well live.
You do realize that Justin Hawkins has a new band (Hot Leg) he's touring with and the rest of The Darkness are in Stone Gods? I'm sure there's no reunion tour any time soon.
i was really put off the album by it's ridiculous pop rock tracks, but songs like this are more like the quality of permission to land, which i think is one of the most listenable to albums ever.
I totally agree with you. I was so pumped to buy this album and when I listened to it I was disappointed over all. This song is so much better live. i still miss The Darkness
Yeah man I am with you on that. Generally, One Way Ticket to Hell and Back was a disappointment. I really only liked One Way Ticket, Is it Just Me? Hazel Eyes and this one.
Best song off the last album..its a shame really... The second bassist wasn't bad but they lost a lot of the balls they had in their first album, this song is more like what was on Permission to Land
ok...well they didnt change their name to stone gods.
The darkness was the darkness when they had the full lineup, when justin left the darkness was over.
Then the remaining members (minus justin and i think now ed) got a new bass player and the bald guy in this video is the singer/guitarist for stone gods.
Now justin has a band that sounds very similar to the darkness (but diff in some ways) called hotleg check out their myspace...or look for the trojan guitar by them here on youtube
@reedpor Stone Gods and Darkness are a different band. The singer's brother is the guitarist of that band, but The Darkness is reuniting this year, as it seems.
@sk8borntodie ,,In January 2010, The Sun newspaper reported that Dan and Justin Hawkins were demoing new material. It was also reported that they will attempt to reform the band if they are satisfied with the new material"
WOW what a coincedence that I started looking for videos today and you just now uploaded this vid today :) July 2, 2008. I wish the band did not split up. Even if they get that new singer, it's still not The Darkness without Justin Hawkins. They might as well change their name.
nah dude, its a open wah... i worked for them at Rock am Ring in Germany ;) trust me

Hot Leg is more like PTL, just guitar and drums.
