The Darkness Live in The Astoria Part 1

[edgroove7]

Fuck I LOVE rock music, it is the best fucking music on Earth!!! REAL guitar players and musicians unlike arsehole Hip Hoppers who just talk down a mic and brag and steal snippets of other artist's tunes because they can't fucking write their own. Justin and Dan can really play those Les Pauls!!

[JamesFerrerosa]

The Bass player reminds me of ben stiller

[Holmer87]

Bought Permission to land the first day it came out, still love them!! :)

[alexface211]

If I hadn't discovered The Darkness back when I was 10, I'd still probably be listening to any old shit I heard on the radio. I owe them for my music taste!

[spacejuanjoace]

The world needs Justin!!!

[dingato]

Korn beanie is that fuckin good

[1988Carlsberg]

Great Performance, my Band that I am in at the moment kind of base ourself on The Darkness. Went to see them live in Birmingham at the N.E.C twice.

[paulbrock999]

omg my favourite gig ever...great that it's online

[JaseonRobinson]

They are playing Download Festival 2011, will be announced in 3 weeks time.

[oclero]

Hawkins singing is so great! This band should have been huge.

[RXibalba666]

Hey! is this available on DVD???

[eXpdjmnm]

Where can I get this?

As far as I know, it was never released on a DVD or anything.

[requintiador]

porfavor vuelvan..se les extraña ustedes si producian rock..

[lowedt]

the editing absolutley sucks. they switch camera angles way too many times, you cant just watch the concert without it switching ever 2 seconds

[lilinrock]

what's the name of the last song?

[SnakeRambo]

@lilinrock The Best of Me.

[electricmaster23]

Man, I hate Justin Bieber.

[Al420WeedSmoker]

does anybody know when this was?

[crusthecrust]

and after that is black shuck. Awesome band

[miek99]

Awesome videos man! The darkness rocked.

[tenac2001]

thin lizzy t shirt

[GamesAndMusic2009]

the whole band is awesome, except the drummer ;P

[sketchyou]

I love their "wide" treble-inducing guitar tones.. just like Led-Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. And their guitar playing is Awesome, not to mention Dan Hawkin's!

[plxplxkthx]

@sketchyou what do you mean by wide? i do agree though.

[sketchyou]

@plxplxkthx big sound. "overpowering" in a good way.

[plxplxkthx]

@sketchyou figured thats what you meant, i just thought from a technical point of view maybe you meant something different (like boosting mid range by a dB or something)

was interested cause i like the sound but havnt ever really got it

[sketchyou]

@plxplxkthx yes good point. it's interesting because whenever you try to "recreate" the sound that great guitarists use, you somehow can't get the same as what they did. But then again, it is a subjective point.

Cheers!

[lgop2nopz]

Why does Justin never use his guitar for black shuck, it would give the song much more drive just like on the studio!

[drewsky684]

when your first hit is your biggest you become a one hit wonder. These guys have so much talent but will never be able to break the "i believe in a thing called love" curse

[GamesAndMusic2009]

@drewsky684 love is only a feeling ;) now THAT! was a hit

[gingenroses]

i miss them man!

[putasydrogas]

¿esto es despues de que saliera del centro de desintoxicacion el cantante?¿ha vuelto al grupo?

[bangyourhead19]

@putasydrogas este concierto es uno de los primeros, ahora esta el el grupo hot leg y la resta del grupo en stone gods

[1990Olloccin]

glam rock is back!

[MrLmxi]

yeeeaaah you're right in 200% :))

[ekkatube]

soooo freddie mercury

[BloodiedEdge]

give me a D....give me an arkness...hilarious!

[PickyfromTerminology]

best darkness song EVER...is How dare you call this love. youtube it!

[dennisjk76]

I can't believe they broke up. 1st thing I thought when I heard them for the 1st time "Gotta see em LIVE" which I luckily did. It was unforgettable, have image in my mind of my girl singing "Friday Night" with and next to me. This image will last, at least. And their music will!!!!

Darkness auf EWIG!!!

[007Mechanix]

@dennisjk76

Lucky, unfortunately I didn't get to see them live.

But hopefully I'll see Hot Leg, won't be the same as this but it will be great.

[Mobyman690]

they were the most energetic act ive ever seen live

saw them in 2006 just before they broke up. i was 14

[Martin734]

Where did this come from??!!! Is it on DVD?

[dofret]

buy dvd here..ebay(uk) item number: 140357968741

[beerymon]

Growing on me ..has to be one of the best rock tracks in the last 30 years ...love it

[sk8borntodie]

Justin has "It"

[feggman2]

justin hawkins is fuckin great

[WingedLeviathanClan]

Darkness creat great songs. Given Up and I Believe in a thing called Love were just two of the best.

[KidIcirus]

The Darkness saved rock and roll.

[ultrabot90]

And left it again. They're not exactly a patch on the oldie goldies, but I do wish they'd reform U_U'

[LuneyTune72]

Listen to Hot Leg, they are as good or better than the Darkness.

[thedarknessareawsome]

@KidIcirus My idols completely

[edgroove7]

@KidIcirus yes brotha you are correct and they are just back on the scene. YEAH

[memoacdcfan]

the darkness is one of my fovorite bands i would like them to come back together is it still possible ?

[snooloui04]

I think if their current bands don't work out, there's every chance they'll get back together. Hopefully anyway :)

[jamesnewitt]

yep :)

[sk8borntodie]

justin looks like the singer of steel dragon in Rockstar

[arms99]

anyone know what the opening guitar riff is called? is it just made up or a propper song? im sure i heard it on the radio this weekend!

[caldou223]

is a song called bareback

[LuneyTune72]

Never heard of that song before, who's it by? This song is called Black Shuck, I believe that intro part is just like the band jamming. But I could be wrong I don't really know.

[joe101188]

the intro is an insturmental called bareback

[cjscanlon0205]

its a live track that they did called bareback. wasn't on ther cds

[LuneyTune72]

Actually I found out not long after it was recorded in the studio and put on the Girlfriend single CD. I have it, along with all the other B sides and unreleased shit =]

[jimmypagesfan1]

This is amazing. Is it a DVD because I would like to buy it.

[thedarkness0001]

Unfortunetly you can't buy it on dvd. They was going to release it on dvd but they still haven't. The darkness are an incredible band!!

[krootman12]

[nedbella]

@rockstar100009999 If you mean the instrumental at the very beginning of the clip, it's Arrival by Abba.
