You're Wrong About My Voice...Here's Why. 

Saved me the hassle of gathering nerds with calculators to find out that it will take no less than 3750 large pigeons to get me off the ground. Kudos, Justin.

At some point in the near future The Darkness will play a show and Justin will make his stage entrance, borne aloft by 1,800 medium-sized pigeons. 😆

Justin forgot to mention that once he's at his destination, they can take him home again, bonus!

@@phantomechelon3628 Supposing you didn't want the pigeons to work too hard, and to err on the side of caution you might order 2,000 pigeons to be safe. Surely you'd need some sort of lightweight string to connect the pigeons to the body, since 2,000 pigeons would struggle to all find a foothold at once. The string would have weight in and of itself, so the extra pigeons might be necessary to offset the logistics.

Honestly I am amazed at this questions response. This man is a scollar!

That would be fantastic!

Good idea!

Great idea

Yes!

Yes please

@@daverowe4566 Dude comes in with an interesting informed view, and you come back with that pathetic comment. The saying needs updating to “those who can’t, troll.”

What's your career, Dave?

@@daverowe4566 Good man

I like to call it “Forced Falsetto”. Pretty sure I got the term from Robert Plant.

@@daverowe4566 Ha! You surely must be the first teacher to actually utter this quote as opposed to having it used against you. Funny. Side note: the world needs guitar teachers , and preferably ones with a sense of humour 😂👊.

Yeah. He doesn't quite have Russel Brand vibes (it must be the British thing) but it's similar in a likeable and well spoken way, one that gives off a vibe of kind intelligence rather than toxic arrogance or that weird Jordan Peterson feeling of like.. pity or an upturned nose.

Really? I think from their first video back in the early 2000's that it was pretty obvious that Justin is a likeable guy.

@@TylerTheTiler Unfortunately Brand has turned into a bit of a Peter's-son acolyte, probably realised he's more into young boys... 😉

I never knew who he was until I saw his name on Beato's first channel. lol He's absolutely lovely and so incredibly talented, yet humble? Such charisma...

@@TylerTheTiler wtf? Yes Justin Hawkins is likable, as in the total opposite of what you are......

A joy to listen to. A fun ride. Riff after riff, solo after solo. Awesome album!

You are well lucky.

Yea..he's a cool dude

He is indeed. He started to answer my question on a live stream about a month back but never finished reading it out. I was a little more let down than I should have been and have tried in vain to get him to read another lol

Imagine me pooping in your pocket... You're welcome 😇

I was just dying laughing when he began the internet search, but when he pulled out the calculator, it suddenly got real. lol Creative question, hotfrog, well done!

It must be a creative person thing because I also play in a band and my head immediately went the same place as his lol.

@@djjazzyjeff1232 yeah I'm in a band but for some reason my head didn't go there haha

I'm still counting pigeons of mine to lift me while replying this. Lol.

S

Ya gotta have goals………

His lyrics are awesome. Unironicly work on a few levels.

I feel the same. Queen is probably my all time favorite, but a band where all members are living and still playing and writing together (miss Deacon), favorite current band is hands down The Darkness. There are no bad songs, hardly even any songs I may be a bit ‘meh’ about. Solid gold!

I learnt that last month by coincidence, solo is fun

"put that in your pocket for keeps" ha! 🙂

As I’m from the states and think he’s beloved globally, I think of him as an international treasure. Global treasure works too. Dare I say Universal Treasure?!

@@lisamarie1560 agreed

Thank you!!

Package Deal

I would love to hear about this too

Ditto this! Would love to hear your take on the process of your personal experience. Only what you’re comfortable sharing of course. In any artistic endeavor naturally you want it to connect with people, and successfully doing that must be amazing. Fame however, I would expect is an unwelcome pitfall. So many negatives with fame like paparazzi, tabloid news, being young and fans constantly giving you alcohol and substances to abuse. Sooo many women almost literally throwing themselves at you, I expect also men and non binary folks too, LGBTQ, equal opportunity people throwing themselves at you (‘sacred promise of fellatio’ one of my favorite lines of many in Shitting Out Solid Gold!). It seems like a dangerous rabbit hole that can make it hard to be faithful to the person you love, can distance you from your kids, etc. I would love to be successful, but I’m quite sure I would hate fame. Now I’ve got David Bowie’s song stuck in my head.

He has explained it all in parts over many videos. A full explanation together would be great though.

same , hes coming across as human being

i don't know alot of darkness songs, but they aren't bad at all, id say good tbh especially a thing called love, ive been singing that in my head for years

@@LordSeth-hf8ew They made sick tunes. 'I've met jesus' was great, 'every inch of you' also a tune, also they did a christmas song (ill always remember that robot signing with them in the music vid). Just great musicians in general who seemed to have a fun time and didn't take themselves too seriously like some do.

Check out their song Black Shuck

Ditto. He is a musician’s musician. And great company. I feel bad about never giving him the credit that he is most certainly due. This has to be one of the best accidentally stumbled upon RU-vid channels..found it last night, still watching.

Would make a great teacher.

💗👏💗

Nicely put! ROCK 🪨 ON

🥺

Here here! 🙌🏼

Absofrigginlutely!

Yes!

@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain 40?

Yes when Brian May is a big fan, you have most definitely landed, or ‘arrived’! That had to feel incredibly rewarding. Then to get to go on to play with Queen + Adam Lambert, etc. Plus your drummer is Rufus Tiger Taylor, literally rock and roll royalty 2.0. I hope Rufus is your drummer forever. He seems like a perfect fit.

Tbh he reminds me more of Brian May

That song is great! When I am ina crappy mood I turn that video/song and it puts me in a better mood.

Corey Taylor has 5 and a half octaves, and Mike Patton can do 6. Think Mariah Carey's around there too. But I've always found those kind of measurement incredibly nebulous and, tbh, bullshit. All about what determine a hit note; is it once heard, is it sustainable, etc, etc. Really don't like Axl's high end; prefer hearing him in Patience than I do in songs like You Could Be Mine. For me, one of those bands where I prefer to music to the vocals, like (hot take) The Police.

Long haired people unite!

It's just a shame that women don't seem to appreciate hair.

@@bmmaaate women absolutely do appreciate hair

@@SixtySecondYoga In my experience there is one 'rock chick' for every rock dude, and 90% of them choose to pair up with boring short back and sides types. Which takes the odds of meeting someone down to 100/1.

The key of awesome.

D minor

@@rangerCG 🤣

@@SilojensenDK its the saddest key

This is correct sir!

I didn't and don't like The Darkness, BUT the voice he uses to sing his intro to these videos make me go "damn, he sounds like Freddie Mercury" every time.

@@HorologicRannygazoo Freddie never did those high notes, it was Roger.

@@Mitch93 I like Roger's singing, too -- his notes in Bohemian Rhapsody are crazy. "I'm in Love with my Car" is one of my favorite Queen songs. But if I just heard the "Justin Hawkins rides again... again" without seeing Justin singing it, I would swear that was Freddie Mercury.

I know right?! I feel the exact same way 😍

eh, that's an opinion
