As "The Darkness" are in america at the mo...

[JJ Moore]

What do our neighbours think of them over the pond?

P.S. They perform on Jay Leno on 19th April in the states, so watch!

Anyway, what do you think? DISCUSS

[Funky Fly]

They are pretty good. The album gets kinda stupid at times.

My little brother calls them a "waste of talent".

[TheNamelessOne]

I love them! I've always liked bands with lead singers who sound like they have their crotch caught in something performing outdated music badly and looking like complete idiots while doing it. Below average cock rock bands bring back the spirit of rock!

Justin Hawkins is a complete shit head. What a great idea - You don't get asked to perform at Glastonbury so you whine about it like a little bitch.

[Wengerland]

I used to think they ruled,got a bit bored of them now but i still think they're pretty good.

[bobfinger]

Their hit song sounds awesome when you are wasted

[The Mask]

They're pretty crap. They're talented but the novelty won't last for too long.

[Funky Fly]

They're pretty crap. They're talented but the novelty won't last for too long.
That's basically what my brother says.

He acknowledges their skill, but it's like a stereotype of 80s hair bands.

[Silent]

I like them. Just a fun album to listen to.

[Jason Cage]

They're pretty crap. They're talented but the novelty won't last for too long.

What he said.

[Kane Knight]

They'd a be a lot better if the frontman sounded like he could sing. He sounds like a Tonedeaf Tim Staffel.

[Kane Knight]

Or a dog who's been chained down and has his nuts nailed repeatedly with a sledgehammer.

[JJ Moore]

i guess if everyone here was born 10 years earlier then they originally were there would be more positive then negative comments :p

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>The Darkness is stupid, and I'm a fan of Poison, Warrant, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake, Van Halen, Skid Row, Tesla, etc.</font>

Moron.

[Kane Knight]

Hey Asphyxy...Do you know if Ratt's name has anything to do with the venue the Ratt down in Boston?

(It no longer exists, but used to be a big place for Boston acts).

[JJ Moore]

Moron.
Asshole. See, no effect and nothing gained.

[Kane Knight]

Well, it certainly didn't make you any smarter, and it only stated what everyone already knew (Which could further indicate how retarded you are).

[JJ Moore]

Once again a useless comment made to no effect. KK, chill out. All I was trying to achieve was what peoples opinions were on a band. You made one, fair enough, but then to make a lame-ass comment on a lil joke. Dont waste your time being so pathetic.

[Gertner]

It's like Pac-Man. Sure it's good for a nostalgia kick, but after a while it get tiresome.

[JJ Moore]

Back ON-TOPIC: Has anyone made any plans to see them on there tour? or have already been? If not check out the Jay Leno performance, it will be alot of fun no doubt.

[asphyXy]

<font color=969696>Ratt was a glam band. Adding another T to the end of the name made it look cool.</font>

[JJ Moore]

I see where your coming from (but sitll a big fan and very much into them), but dont besmirch the good name of pacman :mad:

You talking about being pathetic...:lol:

What a hoot.

I didn't know. I'd heard OF them, but not heard them, and I didn't know anything about 'em.

[JJ Moore]

nice comeback juniour

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, a Th1rt3en year old calling me junior. Good one.

[JJ Moore]

DUDE, seriously. WTF is your problem, following your posts through the music forum I would of thought you would of had somewhat more of a constructive reply with-in a music related topic, I know you know your shit about music. Instead you took your half-wit nonsense bullshit and ejacualted it all over the place, take the dick out of your hand and the dick out of you mouth and stop being such a whiney penis.

[Kane Knight]

Coming from the retard who came up with a jewel like "If you were all 10 years older..."

:|

[JJ Moore]

Post equalled Joke

KK equals the skin between ur scrote and your asshole.

[Kane Knight]

Joke equalled lame.

New joke still equals lame.

JJ's IQ equals 13 no doubt.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Their hit song is getting played out big time...I bet they will be a one hit wonder...I can just tell

[Kane Knight]

True enough...They will be remembered for the one line with that lead girl singing about a thing called love.

[JJ Moore]

hmm, you may be right about one hit wonder, rome wasnt built in a day as also they cant break the world with one album. There trying to break america bit by bit, when they were on letterman it opened up for them alot more, Jay Leno will do the same for them. They need to be on a bigger stage for America, VMA's in the summer maybe?

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, like they're not being shoved at us enough.

[JJ Moore]

:| 13 yes, quite...

[JJ Moore]

You love them really :naughty:

[MVP]

They're way too gay for me.

And I listen to that gay punk/emo music.

[JJ Moore]

Dont be so hard on urself man, blame the parents? :-\

[Kane Knight]

You love them really :naughty:
I tend not to like anything that's shoved down my throat ad nauseum.

They're on TV all the time, in ads for their own record, in ads for movies and TV, and so on.

Even if the frontman didn't sound like an Austine student (School for the Deaf), I'd be very much turned off by the massive overkill on the airwaves. Things get boring if you don't go 9 seconds at a time without experiencing them.

[JJ Moore]

I guess the american company fat cats are just jumping on the bandwagon of there global sucess then and thinking the bigger and better they premote that in some way there gonna come out better then everyone else. Who knows! :-\

Thanks for posting a relevent reply :wave:

[MVP]

Dont be so hard on urself man, blame the parents? :-\Or the fact that listening to whiny lyrics makes me feel better about myself.

Just like beating up handicapped people.

[JJ Moore]

Man take an Andrew WK pill or summit, but beating on handicaps soudns fun too

[Downunder]

I downloaded their album - listened to it 3 times, gave them a chance. ( I was thinking maybe they would grow on me, or I was missing something that everyone else got)

The plain truth is they suck

I love glam/hair metal, I was a teenager when it was at it's peak. The Darkness are a really bad piss take, they'll fade away very quickly.

[JJ Moore]

well they've been going strong for a good 2 1/2 years now, only made it big in the past year. I dont see them fading anytime soon, they may not break america as soon as they'd like but there doing a good job so far.

I gotta admit, all those pathetic lil emo kids make me feel damned good about myself.

Doesn't bad piss take indicate it was intentional?

Well, it depends.

They're being pretty heavily oversaturated in my opinion. A great way to burn out before you can make it "big" in any place.

I think the big cats are just overdoing to make money, or just trying to reach out to everyone in a sense, who knows, who cares, laters im going to bed.

The record industry has gotten into a stagnant cycle of shoving bands down peoples' throats.

It's one main force behind the declining record sales.

[Downunder]

Doesn't bad piss take indicate it was intentional?
Possibly.

But if that's the case there is a hell of a lot of people who didn't get the joke and are taking it seriously - I just think it's a bad joke.

[Kane Knight]

:lol:

[Kane Knight]

Spinal Tap '04?

[Ninti the Mad]

Sucks.

[Cactus Sid]

Saw them at Reading last year and they were fantastic

Wont say anything else about them, because at that point I'd never heard of them, and now sometimes I wish I still hadn't

[Mr. Monday Morning]

The Darkness *wish* they were Spinal Tap.

They're like a poor retarded man's second string Spinal Tap.

[Kane Knight]

Like Woodstock 94...:lol:

[MoRcHeEbA]

I don't mind them, but for some reason they remind me of the new Guns and rosees for some reason

[JJ Moore]

how? :)

[Smitty]

They're pretty crap. They're talented but the novelty won't last for too long.

I think they're just another Andrew W.K.

[deathtrap]

Wow, they have fans who aren't 11 and think they are now hard rock when buying the album

[Kane Knight]

Wow, they have fans who aren't 11 and think they are now hard rock when buying the album
:lol:

but they are hard rock, and the stripes have saved Rock! :shifty:
