Gallagher Rose Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 They were really fuckin great..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGgTR_ubTK0The first album was classic, really good..but they lost it in the second.Truly one of the best rock n' roll bands of the decade..it's a pity they imploded after drugs and internal fights.

SofaKingWhat Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 They were a good, fun rock band, never going to be legendary but putting out some good old rock music was never a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldwideboss Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I saw them live before Guns N' Roses at Rock In Rio 2006, they put on quite a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've only got the second album, but my Dad lent me the first and I remember thinking that the second was better...but I might have to give it a proper listen once more.Love Is Only A Feeling is an AMAZING song, real rock ballad.

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Ehwww no, I hate that band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 They're ok, but methinks they take their gimmick a little too far. And Permission to Land is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_TH Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) They were really fuckin great..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGgTR_ubTK0The first album was classic, really good..but they lost it in the second.Truly one of the best rock n' roll bands of the decade..it's a pity they imploded after drugs and internal fights.Shit, these guys really were the kings of cheddar cheese and not entirely my cup of Bovril.--That said, they were hugely entertaining, musically immense, and it's a shame they're not still around given the singer had a bit of a breakdown!I'd love to see them back as I'm sure they had a "Classic Album" hidden away in there somewhere!--My sister was a massive fan of them and went to see them a few times... said they were great!EDIT: Go on then... I'll indulge you, I'm away for another listen... Edited August 30, 2008 by murray_TH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I always thought that they were a gimmick that just didn't know when to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 They were your typical bloated, full-of-themselves rock band, with the gimmick...Justin used to ride a huge, stuffed, white tiger at one spot of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Stone Gods are supposedly good too, they supported VR the day after I saw them But I got to see Pearl What was that thing 'This Town Aint Big Enough For The Both Of Us' that Justin did with that band...I cant remember the name it was something silly like 'British Whale', the video was JH and Phil Taylor playing darts.

I honestly don't really miss The Darkness. Although "Get Your Hands Off My Woman Motherfucker" was a good ditty. As was their cover of Street Spirit.

P.A. Guns Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I remember when I first saw "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" on MTV when I was 13 or whatever, they scared me. When I heard it again some years later, that song quickly grew on me. Love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrslash Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I saw them live before Guns N' Roses at Rock In Rio 2006, they put on quite a show.Same here, it was a great show.I love both albums, glad i saw them live before they broke up.

Shuffle Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Their first record is really good but their second wasn't quite up to scratch. Growing On Me is a great fucking song... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDRM Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I loved them.Permission was of course the best.. But i still loved the second album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbominableHoman Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I didn't even click the link and I already knew it was The Darkness.I understood the cheese factor of the band, but I genuinely liked them. Their first CD is classic for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I love David Lee Roth solo, Dokken, yes even Bon Jovi and Poison.... but The Darkness were too flamboyant and flashy and cheesy for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
