      Who cares? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] They were all over the place here a year or so ago, but Justin was real quick to disappear up his own arse, and the novelty 'RAWK' thing can only last so long....

          I liked The Darkness, a lot. I don't care if it was a gimmick or not, there was rock on the radio and on MTV for a change.

            Yeah, Permission to Land was a fun album. It was great to hear guitar solos on the radio again. I hope to hear from them again.

              Yeah, I thought they were fun too. It was a major blast of fresh air to hear them on the radio amongst all the other Mesa-muddy furiously strumming screaming/whining shit that comprises todays rock scene.

                I read in a magazine they should be bringing out another album around christmas time and the bass player has been replaced with one of the guitarists' techs.

                    I saw them live (frontrow in front of 80.000 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] ) and they ROCK HARD live as well. The costumes really rocked too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

                      I remember hearing something about Mutt Lange agreeing to do some work for the second album. Don´t know if that ended up happening, though.

                        I'm with Bill..,the music rocked, but that guys voice just destroyed it for me. They should have changed thing called love to kicked in nuts.

                          I loved the music, but Justin needs to bring that voice down a couple of octaves. He can sing ok, but he does that falsetto voice and it makes me cringe.

                            Justin just released a single under the name "British Whale" (I think) - a cover of Sparks' "This town ain't big enough for the both of us". Sparks are in the video, which I thought was pretty cool. No solo, but ok - the original was falsetto too, so not much changed there, but the guitar's a bit more "rocky".

                              Funny you say that considering justin started out using a mesa dual rec and then switched over to a roadking head which he still uses, but i know what you mean chuck.

                              I like Justin's voice just the way it is, i think he makes the band because it gives them there own sense of style.
