Few people remember that when the Darkness landed, we were in the middle of a puke fest of nu metal and boy band cacophony. You guys were like a kick in the face from out of nowhere. I'll always remember that time and always support this band.

Exactly you get it. Rock N Roll has been in a sad state for many years and especially during the time period before the darkness came on the scene. I mean bands would be criticized for playing live upbeat rock n roll. Not metal enough or not grunge enough. It got to be to a point of stupidity. The Darkness was one of the few bands willing to embrace that big 80's duel guitar sound and actually have fun playing live rock n roll again. Heaven forbid they sounded like Queen and AC/DC put together they were great and unashamed as you put it a breath of fresh air from all the rap metal and scream metal where you couldn't understand a single damn lyric. The musicianship was there the singing and playing was great. People hated the bands 2nd album One Way Ticket and I loved it.

I first heard the darkness coming out of a window from my neighbors house. The riff just stuck in my head for days. I had pretty much given up on new bands, but when I heard PTL it inspired me. I was soooo sick of everything being so damn depressing. That album from start to finish takes you on a ride. I'm still hoping to someday be a part of a band that can capture that energy. Have come close a few times, but usually my ex band mates wanted to fit in with "modern music" so I end up walking away. That album will always have a special place for me!

The delicious resurgence of that album infused my blood with a hair-blowing giddy that will likely never go away. When I behold the beautiful creation that saved me from an abusive relationship many years ago the song With A Woman often plays in my head.

Great channel Justin. Regarding stage presence & ownership, may I suggest you yourself are possibly influenced by & indebted to (consciously or not) late 70's early to late 80's Prince - who totally owned the stage, frequently shredding it & his guitar simultaneously. Both perfectly & singing flawlessly to boot!!! Rock on!!

Hey Justin, love your channel. Was wondering how you and Dan worked out the solo parts in each song. Thanks, love you!

The One way Ticket to Hell and Back album, in my humble opinion is on par with Permission to Land. Salud !

I would say regarding this kiss comment: I do fully wish you would advertise your tours more (I had missed you this year, after absolutely LOVING Motorheart...) So,, I’d love it you took your own advice and promoted your own tours from this platform! I would’ve happily traveled the continent of the US to see you, if I had realized you were here… Dare I say, please don’t utilize false humility here, you know you’re awesome 😁 keep us abreast of your tour dates!

I’ll add, I love basically every album, start to finish, with last of our kind being the least listened to, in spite of being a collection of great songs… don’t know why yet, other than to say I simply haven’t given it as much h time as the others 🤷‍♂️. You basically write extremely excellent rock, consistently, and have a sense of humor I really enjoy… thanks for all of this 🙂

On the question of bass players who move about, it would be remiss not to note Steve Harris. Guy runs round the stage like a defensive midfielder in the middle of a cup final. There's a rumor that Bruce Dickinson got an extra-long microphone stand to fend him off from centre stage.

the 2 greatest rock stars of them all (imo of course)- Jagger and Page, they were the best at a number of things, very very much including genius level posing...
