The Darkness - One Way Ticket (Rock am Ring-2006)

[SuperRockin4ever]

any body know what happend to the old bass player?

[SergeyRocks]

@SuperRockin4ever Do you mean Frankie? Now he plaing with The Darkness ;))

[MrNinaisabel]

really sad, to see JH like this, fat and useless (his words, not mine). saw them 2 weeks ago, they are back and better and bigger then ever before, nevermind those bad days back in 2006

[DeadLegaciesUK]

I hate dead crowds :S the darkness deserve better

[mighty12GTFC]

Justin needs his 'Permission To Land' look. Much preferred the lighter hair and the stupid outfits, rather than the darker hair and the more 'normal' look. Hopefully with the reunion he will go back to the older look, but after seeing that mustache his going round with, I doubt it :L

[sunhero1990]

THE DARKNESS IARE BACK !!!!!!!!!

[kruns203]

great intro

[pbowers06]

GOd this shit is fucking awesome. They were going to be the next fucking kings of rock until drugs and booze got in the way.  Damn you delicious booze!

[rockersince1995]

one of the greatest rock songs in history

[ThatKrookedVulture]

Come back Darkness!!!! YOU WERE THE NEW FUCKING HOPE!!!!!!!!

[bizarrebob]

@ThatKrookedVulture - they are re-united now !!

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@bizarrebob OMFG! Really? Are they just gonna tour or is there gonna be a new album too?

[bizarrebob]

@ThatKrookedVulture - i think they're doing a tour, then they'll do an album, google The Darkness and click on News and you'll see it man !!

[ThatKrookedVulture]

@bizarrebob Thanks man!

[Bobaganush26]

I'd have to do cocaine to, to keep my voice up to par like his night after night on tour

[TrussQi]

justin sounds really drug fucked in this :/

[superdanlewis]

i didn't think it was possible to sing that high!! lol

[Ginkster]

German crowds = some of the lamest in the world. Am I right or am I right?

[diorhomme]

sounds like ACDC!

[MrSRV94]

one of the last ROCK 'N' ROLL true band...

[deathtoall4444]

hes wearing a Kaamos shirt !!!!!

[plasma199]

I was there, i was 15 Years old and it was one of the greatest evenings in my live....Really, Really Great :)

[g7r1g]

ECCEZZIONALE STA' CANZONE !

GrAnDi  ! ! !

[JabbaYo]

@EGmusicProductions

That's so awesome!

Justin is one of my guitar heroes!

Tell him to keep up the great job!!

And to stop by Salt Lake City some time =]

[SoloDallasII]

If you're telling the truth, tell Justin to get back with the Darkness! And tell him he rules!

[MacroFuzzXD]

Well actually, according to rumor, they are back collaberating after Justin showed up on stage to "I Believe In A Thing Called Love". Let's hope they stay together.

[DJBlackSack]

I take it that's the bassist who took over vocals after Justin left?

[badobsessionband]

I LOVE the Darkness but i have to say before that song kicked in.............FAIL

[ZiSt1989]

fail like "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"? ha, first thought of watching another vid by them, but then...think it´s okay and sort of great rock

[onett128]

damn justin is freakin awesome live

[turnersterror88]

But... but... but... a ticket to hell and back is a return not a one way!!

[joshalos1]

But they bought two one way tickets. :]

[turnersterror88]

Probably got ripped off then :P

[Inconnuduvaldemarne]

Cool!!!!!!

[larrythao1994]

THIS BAND REMINDS ME OF QUEEN

[ZiSt1989]

yeah, you said it, dude!

and guitar sounds close to AC/DC, especially in the beginning :D

that´s the sound of gibson les paul! custom LP & traditional LP (sunburst finish)

[96aaron310]

well, you may know but if not, before darkness became too famous, they used to cover all acdc songs :) youtube it

[ZiSt1989]

oh, I didn´t know that thanks for that information :)

that tapping at around 0:29 sounds like the introduction on Thunderstruck I think...

[96aaron310]

agreed :)

[guitarfreak258]

i noticed that too!!

[VelvetFuckinRevolv3r]

this is the best live footage iv seen of this song

[talex42]

Justin Hawkins has just finished working with Adam Lambert American Idols so-called loser who is really a winner! Album comes out Nov 23 and it will def have some glamrock for the 21st century. Check it out, Justin has met his match, and then some!!

[andypandyhu]

well dont think he has quite met his match, justin is a better singer and can hammer the gutar as good as a pro lead guitarist, all adam can do is ponce it up and sing. if i had to pick a better singer it would be justin every time and he plays to boot :-P

[minic00pz]

this songs about coke.

[loudothedew]

you think?

[marchistrazzy]

Che incapace...

[ACDCFANLONGTIME]

HiphopFeel - it's a joke

[HiphopFeel]

anyone understand how it can be a one way ticket, "to hell AND back"? haha, i didn't catch it at first. It doesn't make sense.

[dosclarineros]

Because you don't really come back from hell, you stay there jejeje... cheers!!

[ZiSt1989]

most of AC/DC´s lyrics doesn´t make sense, too ;-) I don´t think that modern vocalist make heavy efforts on their lyric work, just compare Led Zeppelin/ Jethro Tull lyrics to AC/DC or other bands´ lyrics of that time...there are heavy differences I think. Nevertheless, I like that song- fantastic guitar work, though :D

[skitheport]

i believe thats partially true but bands like incubus have deep meaning behind their lyrics its just not obvious to most people what they mean

[PRPWR]

Dude he's saying he has a round trip ticket. Its just a more clever and fun way of saying round trip/ That would be boring...

[technodream]

Its actually supposed to be a an amusing pun, has nothing to do with round trip tickets!

[petar1987]

listen to the music man

[iemeguitarist]

trust me, alcohol makes you fat!

[WelshWarrior95]

hes not fat

its the screen settings

[lcommins1]

Justin not overweight he had a ffreakin coke addiction, always keeps u skinny :D

[Guitarmofo24]

JH is a bit of a legend dont you think..?

[Intruppaman]

@Guitarmofo24 Yeah but drugs spoiled him and his live solos...

Listen to the solos at the old exhibitions..

[ozfuji]

i was at a small live show here in the states and it was fuckin awsome.

[Muzicboxtecnotunez]

Yeah a one-way ticket to hell and back rocks!!!

[joe62293]

this used to be my most annoying sing when i was 12 or 11 and now i LOVe rock n roll

[thundercat54]

wtf?

[brennification]

justin isnt overweight its just the widescreen that makes it appear that way.

[dannyeverton5]

i heard a clipping from original bassist frankies moustache is kept in a secret vault at the london hard rock cafe? has anyone else heard this strong rumour?

[dannyeverton5]

justin is a fucking wreck in this video.. if the darkness had have made another album he probably would have died!

[lazzapie]

he looks a bit overweight too

[medvedpo]

i thik that's because of picture that makes him overwaight..

or he's just eatting too much:P

[ryaniomitch]

na he is fat haha

when they played glasgow he took his top of and the crowed chanted sumo :p

[hmmyer]

guitar solo is fuckin genius

[LuneyTune72]

In my opinion the bald bassist is very annoying and doesn't fit in with the band's image. They need Frank back with his awesome mustache. Supposedly he was treated unequally as a band member and he was fed up with it. He was my favorite band member, he had a great sense of humor which he took from the band when he left even though I do like One Way Ticket too. Permission to Land was flawless though.

[audiofunkdialect]

thats fine, but image isn't shit also the guy left all the sudden and rich was the guitar tech for dan so he was aperfect way to go, he is now the singer for stone gods and is an awesome vocalist

[EminorFunkyBannana]

ROCK N ROLL

[Bobaganush26]

you try to sing his high notes and play the guitar at the same time and make it all sound as good as the studio album!

[maisamatias]

Yeah

[KrossPoison1]

@Bobaganush26 whilst been pretty drug fucked

[eddiec563]

@Bobaganush26

There's only one other man who can....

John Frusciante

[VoodooConcept]

remember he was coked of his tits at this time

[joe101188]

such a shame to watch this.... justin in a bad way here. compare this to the reading gig !! no comparasion

[BreakingGlass17]

Such an unprofessional anticlimatic intro to a gig, justin unstructuredly coming out wanking on the guitar for a minute and then going into the first song. Thank god for his rise to greatness with Hot Leg now!

[robotfamilygchicken]

he made heaps of mistakes in that guitar intro too, i agree, unprofessional

[schoenblum]

Faszinierend wie hoch der Mensch mit seiner Stimme kommt...

[moretimetokill31]

there was a music video for this song, am i right?

if there was, i can find it here in youtube!!

[TippGunnerGuitarist]

there was a video. it was filmed in some cold place and had the band all taking a trek through the snow.

[lucabenedetti]

its gone!

[crittoprrr]

Forrest says...I may not be a smart man...But I know what RAWK IS!! \m/

[Al25401]

haha thats great, i just imagined Tom Hanks announcing a KISS concert in his Forrest Gump character, then when he goes RAWK!!! all this pyro behind him goes off and shit

[7carvi7]

cacainjustin

[CaptClarkson]

they are not metal dumbass

[n8gRocks]

not the best live show.

none the less great still

[keegan3692002]

Man I really liked them, a modern day glam rock band. I was really hopeing they could revive that genre.... Cuz it was a truly fascinating era.

[keegan3692002]

I can hear the similarities between the two songs mentioned but they aren't exactly the same. This happens all the time in Music, artists sample other artist stuff. It's almost imposible to write something that doesn't in any way, shape or form resemble somthing that's already been done. I still love both bands... so I don't really care that this song is similar to Highway to Hell.

[OPBWLOL]

Man, this is almost my favorite band.

[xFlamingxGoochx]

doesnt even sound like highway to hell. its evident that the darkness were influenced hugely by acca but ure comment's straight up retarded for a few reasons

[bboychibi]

You DO understand this is a LIVE performance and notthe studio recording right? Jesus.

[the410]

look for my film just search under "In Blackest Night" or "WMSU-TV" on youtube. It features the green lantern, star sapphire, yellow lantern, orange lantern and the Black Hand.

[mistercrane]

thats how a guitar should sound like

fucking fall out boy should know that!!

this is rock

[BrianKeillor]

i think they r on good terms ive seen them talking bout each others groups and now justin is clean itd b ace but they should boot ritchie out and get the original duder they kicked out back then skys the limit :)

[BrianKeillor]

apparently they have been offerd a lotta money to reform in 2009 (fingers crossed)

[nikkitaseis]

F yeah, fingers crossed!! but I find it pretty odd if they decide to reunite, I mean, wouldn't be awkward for the hawkins bros?? I never knew if they stayed in good terms.

[Greenday134]

BRING BACK THE DARKNESS

[gez2007]

technically its a return ticket lol

[snackajack117]

that's the joke, yeh

[oilslug]

0:40 is the hot leg song lol

[gez2007]

he has put on a bit of weight

[snackajack117]

heroin does that

[jamesabrook]

He was hooked on cocaine not heroin

[snackajack117]

my mistake

[ConE500]

Justin Hawkins should start touring solo, he has the charisma to do so.

[ochayethenoo]

he already is

he has a new band called Hot Leg

check em out on myspace

[yuly35]

ohhhh

justin hawkins!!!

very very handsome

[khantac]

what model les paul is that

[LesPaul2006]

Justin Hawkins looks pretty fucked up

[buff5tuff]

wish they'd get back together. they where such a good band.

[ddubdan]

this is one of the best darkness songs and i like this version better than the studio one

[MrUnknown07]

this is a poor performence man, well voaclly anyways, musics not too bad. justins turned into and fat elvis and lets face it, the second album is shit!

[fastskyr34]

I'm so jealous of anyoe who has seen the Darkness live.

[crazydrummer12345]

I saw them twice, they were absolutely amazing! However, if you ever get the chance go and see Stone Gods, I'm seeing them again for a second time on tuesday, they are awesome and it's got Dan, Richie and Ed from The Darkness in it...

[fistusfanius]

Also go and see Hotleg, Justins band, there are awesome.

[oilslug]

this like a lot of songs they have arent the best live... they are good songs, but they have too much complexity to impress huge crowds...

[scottmasson01]

Saw em back in 2005 when they were HUGE! great showmen.

[OldSteamer]

me Too! they where...fuck, dont forget.

[chrishallisawanker]

they really should reform. absolute quality

[JailhouseJ0e]

yes, you are right xD

[m86ichael]

The intro here would be the perfect intro to thunderstruck

[Johnnywad89]

Damn i wish i had the chance to see them. I thought they wouldnt brake up so soon. SHIT!!

[izzyxallegro]

i saw em live twice nd ive gotta say, u missed out if u didnt see em lol

[alexgijon]

Thats how actual bands should be. The 80´s hard rock attitude its the best! Party all night all nights!

[karl790]

I fuckin love Cocaine, its great fun!

[trecooljr2]

e stica!!!!!!!!!

[BluePythonAnimations]

go die asshole

[rryking]

you can't do it like Justin

[Petrantifa]

Very nice... :)

[amen1994]

Yep he's drunk :))

[RaidenTheAlmighty]

hawk has a pretty good falsetto.

[LetyNievola]

Fuckin' Voice! Justin i love you! *-*

[sexiblacky]

LOOOOOOOOOL

[TheJrRyan]

JUSTIN WAS GOD!!

[sophxx123]

No the voice doesent suckass!!! its all awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :P

x

[casperzgfp]

oneway ticket to hell and BACK, i thought oneway was just oneway?

[eukfire16]

um..what he means is that each line of cocaine he took made him feel like it was a one way ticket to hell...but then he came back

[casperzgfp]

was that a joke cuz if it was it was funny but if it wernt, then he needs to STOP taking drugs, its people like celebs and shit that dont realise where drug money goes!

[eukfire16]

NO he already stoped which is the reason why the band broke up, he said that for some reason him being in the band was what kept him addicted, so he left did some things on his own and now he's gained weight and is more healthy im very proud of him

[strawberryninja]

HAHA!! What the heck was the guitarist doing at the beginning??

[ulyssessamson]

tapping his guitar

[strawberryninja]

sounds crappy

[Beaumain]

I like that they don't look gay live.

[jcybabe]

too bad justin got fat.

he was realllllly attractive. and not so much anymore

[eukfire16]

you prefer him dead? he gained weight since he stoped his addiction, im happy for him

[campmatt]

That isn't Justin.

[klez84]

dal vivo fanno schifo

[VenusDoom3]

god dam there awesome live!!!

[CwangC]

so Justin leave the band?I didn't know that

is because the drugs,so who's the lead singer now?

[TheRealKnighty]

the darkness are no more.which sucks.didnt or arent they changing the name?

[jonezysan]

They're the Stone Gods now, and Justin had a cocaine problem.

[aleharfouche]

this is the one of the best bands.... PLEAAAASE! gather back all of you....i miss the darkness

[gubbelillle]

LOL no way they are hair metal more hard rock lol mayoniaseinvasion, nice 1 in the begining but the drummer made it sound weird in the begining

[juggalomak]

god damn he raped those high notes

[OzzyAxlBruceGillan]

I would love it if Justin started up the Darkness again...I mean he's clean now, and his voice is still great (as seen on Top Gear of the Pops)

why can't we have another album or 2??

please Justin!!!

[FunGirlWithMoney]

I knew he was a druggie! lol But I loved him anyways...but I'm glad he's clean...

He's my loverrrr. lol

[brenjor]

mayoniaseinvasion, youre a fag if you think The Darkness are a hair metal band! where is the similarity between The Darkness and bands like Poison and Warrant. thats hair metal. pretty boys with no attitude. there is a big difference between hair metal and hard rock. The Darkness are a hard rock band, they sound more like AC/DC and Queen. but yes, The Darkness is one of the greatest bands i have ever heard, even considering they havent been around that long.

[mayoniaseinvasion]

your all fags the darkness is the only good hair metal band that is recent, and if you think that his singing is gay, then u need to listen to country, rap or some other shit, all in all the darkness rules

[acdcrocker16]

like tha litte rift after the tapping

[metalsuond]

one ticket?

in hell babe!

[Penisplop]

shame he fucked the tappin up at the start, he does a wicked take on eruption usually.

[eduardocoolg]

its called falcetto, theres nothing gay about that

[samuelshepard]

he sing as a gay? go die already

[HappySkirel]

lol, whatever...What kind of voice that he got.... tell me!

[samuelshepard]

the darkness is like queen and spinal tap. if you dont know those two, then you need to go find out what glam rock is.

[HappySkirel]

it dosent explain why he shouts like a fag! O.o HEs ruining all the song!

[samuelshepard]

he WROTE the song. look dumbass, if his voice WASNT high, then that'd take out the GLAM of the song. the glam is important. its why people can laugh and be proud of when they listen to it.

[Pumban14]

u retard

[HappySkirel]

You call me a dumbass, but im sure that you are a little kid in lack of love...wich his voice sounds liek a fag voice!

[monkbrother]

your a fucking douchebag, if you dont like the music then why are you watching the video? its so you can be a huge fag and complain about how you don't like the music, go shove the cock back in your mouth so we don't have to hear it.
