Mate, theres only so many times you can listen to the same shit over and over...My tip to you...Cut your hair, have a shower, lose the greasy image and get out there and listen to music for what its worth.Dont worry about where and how and why the music came about, just worry about the fact that the music is fucking awesome, and makes you want to get up and do air guitar to it. I havent been sucked in for shit. I listen to this cos I reckon its good. Maybe I will get over it in a months time, or maybe not, but the fact is that for the moment right now, im having fun with it.Thats more than I can say for half the fuckers in this forum still waiting for "Chinese Democracy" which is probably gonna be shit anyway.

spazprm Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 (edited) The Darkness Rock, unless you can name a new rock band that is better that got stater after 2000...Most of these people here don't like them because they make fun of the whole image and song writing of 80's rock band, thus GnR fans find this music offense because it is not serious in their tastes Edited January 29, 2004 by spazprm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryne Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 im taking gnrlies' side on this just because i hate people who post on threads like this and say they hate the band just to piss someone off. that's childish as hell, im not even legally an adult and i think some people who are probably twice my age need potty lessons again. a lot of u need to grow the fuck up. im not gonna get involved in this shit cause i kinda got a life besides goin through the message boards harassing people.fucking nerds lol jk.yea thats my lil comment for controversy today.

3lwooD Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Christ. Everyone's arguments against the darkness are pathetic. I'll try to argue some of em.'the darkness are a modernized version of the monkees' Not true at all . The Darkness aint manufactoured. They formed when they were younger in their home town, not when they were all established musicians.'the darkness are a one hit wonder' Again not true. Listen to permission to land. 'the darkness suck, because someone i love in music says so'Fuck off you ignorant shit.'They rip off everything to do with rock music' Depends how you choose to look at it. As a fan of the darkness, I personally think, and I know they feel the same, because they talk about it in interviews and during shows, that they are using their style to pay hommage to ye olde gods of rock. They're into the same type of music you are, so its bound to have an effect on the way they play. 'the darkness are overplayed by the media'100% NOT their fault. Its their fucking job to try and get on the news as much as possible. Back when GnR were big, and Axl hadnt become a hermit, gnr were trying for the exact same thing. (sorry to compare the darkness to gnr people who are likely to get offended, but seeing as gnr is the only thing you guys can acctualy use as a comparison, it only seemed fitting)I used to be an average fan of the darkness till I saw em live, and if you go to see em, or even watch a bootleg ffs, you cant deny that they put a lot of effort into it. The thing i respect about them the most is that they play EVERY gig, no matter how small as if its the last day they'll ever play an instrument, so they put everything into it. kthnx.

moreblack Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 The Darkness rock, pure and simple, live they are awesome. Great musicians, way better guitarists than Robin fuck-it-up Finck. And they play music from an awesome era 70 glam rock. If you don't take it so seriously and take offense to the fact that they are all better players than you, they are quite a fun rockin' good time to listen to.Anal retentive people need not listen to them.

rylz Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 'the darkness are a one hit wonder' Again not true. Listen to permission to landya....and....they ARE a one hit wonder, they fuckin blow man, i mean they are ok to an extent but i would be very surprised if they put a new album out that even remotely sells in the US, didnt permission to land totally flop in north america??i just cant stand this band, i think if you want more of a classic rock sound to a band then silvertide blows them 100% a out of the water, this is a band who knows how to rock, the darkness has minor talent but i dunno, his voice is too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
