@@ElrondHubbard_1 what? Your comment makes no sense whatsoever. I'm too serious for not enjoying a channel some other people do? You're a little sensitive aren't you? I think his channel is shit and he's a mediocre to bad singer who constantly criticizes other singers who are better than him. Hope you're ok, hun x
Been a fan of them for a long time now, but more recently I feel like I’ve gotten to know Justin from his RU-vid channel, and that makes it much more special.
I felt like MTV was dying back in the day.... then this video came on and there was chills and a spark of hope. It still died, but this song will stick with me forever.
@@simonvanderheijden432 That doesn't mean they're not a rock band. Part of rock is tongue in cheek, listen to ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, lots of tongue in cheek songs.
I fucking LOVE the fact that this band is honestly the best/most polished live act doin in right now for the most part, despite having had their hayday TWENTY fucking years ago. Lol god damn I love this band
I'm glad that even Hawkins struggles with this song live, because if he just came out and hammered it just like the CD I would be too jealous. Such a hard song to sing!
@@drewbateman7557 struggling might be the wrong word. He’s not struggling in an obvious or embarrassing way by any means, but he’s not hitting the original high notes, and the ones he does, he doesn’t hold as long. Part of that is the physicality of running around on stage with a 10lb guitar around your neck vs standing/sitting comfortably in an isolation booth. And part of it is vocal fatigue and a bit of age. For some of the high notes he’s landing an octave lower than before. Killer performance, especially considering all the factors I mentioned, but “sacrifices” have been made to get the quality of performance we have here.
@@danielbell4007 presbyphonia is a killer. In all genres it eventually comes for you. If you find a soprano over 40 then that person was dynamyte in their prime. Most sopranos shift to Mezzo sopranos in their mid thirties to get ahead of it.
when the song first came out, it was effortless for him. but he's far from struggling here; def takes more effort than it used to for him tho, understandably. however, he attempted the highest notes of the song here, something he rarely did back in 2003/4
they put on a great show, i like how justin backs of the vocals just enough so there's a great mix of him and the audience. don't believe i've ever heard anyone do that.
The Darkness came out as this beaming light of during a not so great music Era of, shall I say it, darkness. Seriously, they were and are a breathe of fresh air.
I.used to babysit my friend's baby when he was about a year old & when this song was No1 in Britain he was obsessed by the song..The only way I could get him to go asleep was play it loud in repeat & he'd head bang himself asleep in his cot😆😆
Great high energy performance. Loved the intro by guitarist grinding guitar across microphone for Great sound effect. Loved Hawkins outfit, only a rockstar can get away with that.
how do people play their guitars so low like that 😮 ? It’s easy to play power chords (especially in drop d) but for anything remotely technical my hand would be toast in five mins playing with a kinked wrist
Man, I haven't seen this band since 2003 and didn't even know theyre still around. This song was everywhere when I was in highschool... I mean I remember everyone in our local music scene making a big deal of this song. Is that the same singer? It's hard to tell because I don't remember him having tattoos and I can't see his face lol.
ha ha 😂 just watched this again. Totally missed 1st time around Justin misses his big final outro chord as he jumps for it at 6.00 laughs with the drummer, straps up & then nails it.
The major labels weren’t as supportive about the kind of issues he was dealing with back then. Back then they’d probably rather he’d carried on secretly drinking/doing coke and being entertaining and productive for them until it killed him, or quit them quietly. Labels don’t care about your habits if you’re churning out hits and making money for them, but the second you have an album flop or can’t make another hit single, they’ll make an issue of it. Admitting to having taken drugs also put them on a ‘not family friendly’ list in the states label/TV wise, and admitting he had bad times on drugs probably made some elements of the rock scene viewed him as a debbie downer. He was damned if he did, damned if he didn’t.
