Chani Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Last night I saw The Darkness.They truely are here to save rock and roll.And I think they are going to do it.There was confetti, there was smoke, there were loud, over the top guitar solos... Justin Hawkins had costume changes!! Three skin tight jump suits!I dressed up in top hat and tassled wrist bands and everyone just grinned and rocked out all night.Now, for those of you who know who I'm talking...Are The Darkness here to save rock and roll?Believe me... they really really are.*rocks out and dances around room to I Believe In A Thing Called Love* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 If they are anti-pop music, that's great. Rock and roll is good music, don't know about the darkness as I dont watch t.v. much. (music channels and such, as they tend to play pop/popular music) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Look at the link in my post and then you an hear them. I'm listening to them at the moment. I believe in a thing called love is my favourite track (of any music) and I also like Stuck in a Rut (which I'm listening to right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hm... I've heard of them, 'of' being the operative word. I wasn't, however, aware that it needed saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 That's right, Neil Young has rock and roll (classic) under control. He even put out a new CD.http://www.neilyoung.com/greendale_frames.htmlSupposed to be real good too.And the live band at my bar played his music at my request. I like yelling out Neil Young! at most bars. To keep them from playing pop music that you hear every week at each bar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Neil who?Listen to the Darkness!And Muse, Thrills, The Strokes etc as well as the more well known ones like Foo Fighters and Coldplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Neil Young, hes been around since the sixties and seventies. Well he's kinda a folk singer too.http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0949918/Did I mention he's Canadian?(born) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechadragon Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Hm... I've heard of them, 'of' being the operative word. I wasn't, however, aware that it needed saving.Yes. Commercial drivel has made *all* music in the US nothing more than a bad trip into 'da hood'. I saw The Darkness by chance the other day. Though I am not a 'fan', I was completely taken off guard by the very 70's sound. It's more 'rock' than rock has been since punk and new wave took over in the 80s. It's refreshing to see something 'original', even if it's retro. The use of falseto was daring as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Darkness is obviously the best band to come out this year, and maybe the last few years. My favourite of their songs is Friday Night and Givin' Up. My friend is going to see them in concert soon and I'm trying to blagg a free ticket, so here's hopin'! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 as a person who prefers more hardcore than the softer metal, KsE, Chimaira, Prospect Acconite Thrill etc, i have to say that The Darkness rule, ok, so they look funny, GOOD! they have great music, an no blonde big breasted bimbo singing (good or bad?hmm), which is a nice change.
