Re: The Darkness
Queen are fantastic.
The Darkness suck.
They are neither the new Queen or 80's revival metal. They just suck.

Re: The Darkness
Darkness are ok, christmas one was crap but a good excuse to get 'bells end' into a song.
Great for screaming to when drunk in the middle of 'the toon'.

Re: The Darkness
justin copies freddie mercury. the only way he copies him is his love of spandex and being camp. their music is nothing like queens and it doesn't have anything on it at all. IN MY OPINION queen are the best band ever!!!!!!!11 the darkness are dodgy and I find them irritating and they won't be fashionable this time next year, so they won't be famous and will be hasbeens.

Re: The Darkness
The guitar-work is very May-esque at times, I'm pretty sure thats the main reason for the comparison.

Re: The Darkness

Re: The Darkness
They are just hitting Canada from what I hear.
They have two singles that will get played to death.
They are kitsch. Consider them a fad band. Like the Fugees

Re: The Darkness
incidentally, Permission to Land was supposedly originally going to be called 'Lowestoft Common Denominator' which i think is a bit ace

Re: The Darkness
I hate him.
The music is ok i suppose.
But all camp-rock is crap unless it is Queen.
And he reminds me of someone an ex i'm still not properly over really liked. Which winds me up no end.

Re: The Darkness
They've been out here for over a year, sweeped all the awards, done a xmas single, Expect them to die out like every other band that lives off two anthemic rock singles (Reef etc.)
p.s. pm me these names of those deep people.

Re: The Darkness
Oh I went to see Reef live twice.
The second time was more of a disappointment though especially when you realised everyone around you was still loving their early stuff and not the new stuff they had written.
I lost my signed ticket stub though signed by all the members.

Re: The Darkness
She's 19 but deep river is a small town and she's worked in almost all the places there that people have to use (a pizza takeaway, a museum and the local supermarket)
I'm moving to ottawa, we are looking ahead to her getting into ottawa U. Deep River is too small town and the only reasons you'd want to live there is to work something menial or to work in it's nuclear power plant.

Re: The Darkness
I can't believe I'm going to be the first one to have to point out how overrated Queen are anyway, and if a band that was better than them came along it would instantly be dismissed as "TEH QUEEN WANNABES FFFSSSSSS THEY SUXXXXX!!!!".

Re: The Darkness
You say first one like there will be other people who will agree with you.
I certainly hope the gene pool hasn't degraded as far as to allow for more likeminded humans as you for that to be backed up but I'm not fearing it.
I think you listen to pop too much to know what Queen are.

Re: The Darkness
queen are rather over rated imo
but no more so than any other hero worship crap
the darkness chap needs a slap for wearing such stupid clothes
(but then so do all the idiotic teenagers wearing enormous jeans that drag in puddles when they walk)

Re: The Darkness
the guitar is very simliar to queen.
thats what reminds me of them. tbh the band itself probablly isnt quite as good as the hype surrounding them suggests.
HOWEVAR
i am praying they do absolutely aces because it will mean the revival of the whole 'happy rock' genre.
no more whinging about your parents
no more crap about wanting to die
no more screaming, moaning etc down the mic
more bands will be signed up doing a simliar thing and before you know it were back to the heady days of queen style rock bands ocne more.

Muse are pretty great duder :coolio:
(And the darkness are really terrible. Their Street Spirit cover is okish (it misses out the best bit of the song), but then Street Spirit is the best song ever. The rest of their stuff is poor at best)

Re: The Darkness
Muse aren't bad yo, although I haven't got their latest album yo as I am poor and on a 56k.
I sense you might not like 'happy' bands with your favourite song being Street Spirit though. Don't even think it's the best Radiohead track myself.
End of day Darkness are good fun, I'm not sure if they are either a good band, or a good pisstake.

When this post was made, there really became no need for me to add anything (but i did anyway).
Get over it, stop analysing them in terms of their influences etc.. they just suck.
