Maddergascar Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 kerrang newsThis came as a bit of a shock. Bassists always do what they're told.I'm gonna miss him; he looked just like the bass player in Spinal Tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 The Darness break up looks inevitable.Only one album in and already Justin Hawkins going solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boy Sixxx Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 just another 3 to go then. it was always going to happen though coz its justin hawkins rather than the darkness. he's a new one at maddame tussauds but on his own, he just does everything on his own. its not a band - its giving the kids a pop rock star that can be marketed as a novelty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid snake 89 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I wish they would hurry up and just all break up already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love&hates Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I wish they would hurry up and just all break up already! Hum....no! Darkness are cool, and we need all the good music we can get. For me they are good , not the best .....but better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_vonen Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 aww,that sucks....they're going downhill now,wont last longer than GNR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizz Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Jesus Christ, Hawkings solo? The Darkness might have been good if they could find a singer. Hawkins in the Darkness is bad enough (vocally i mean, he's a good guitarist) but him solo? Fuck that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffs Velvet Rose Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 well i didnt really dif their shit too much though appraently they were greatlive.. bassisits seem to be ok to replace though?! he looked cool ..pity..ah well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I had a thought about this the other day, but i thought the drummer would go first. Now it's going to be the two Hawkins, him and the new guy.R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shia0bundan Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Aw no! I liked Frankie!!!As long as the Hawkins are stillt here I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Child Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 it was the Hawkins' and the drummer (Ed) who were originally from Lowestoft anyway. if anyone was going to leave it would've been him. don't llike the darkness anymore, used to though before they got big.

T Patten Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 the darkness are up there with queen as being one of the biggest joke bands of all time, their singer can't even sing, he's a show up for england, plus their songs are all a load of old shite......i'd love to punch justin hawkins flush in the face.

SofaKingWhat Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 They were good live at first before they got signed, then it all became about Justin.Justin & The Darkness. pfft.Glad they might break up though, the rest should piss off and find a decent singer.

Wager Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Brought in Justin's guitar tech as new bassist, not breaking up.And I can't believe some fucker said Queen were a joke band, one of the greatest bands that ever strolled this earth (5th best - Zepp, GN'R, Stones, Who, Queen) to have a fresh dynamic when they appeared, pretty much solely creating the glam rock/hair metal genre.Think of another 'joke band' that created a genre.And don't say the fucking Kinks, because that'd deserve decking.

JeanGenie Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) when they appeared, pretty much solely creating the glam rock/hair metal genre.Think of another 'joke band' that created a genre.Glam/Glitter Rock has been there way before Queen. But they're definetley not a joke band though the name could give that impression. Edited May 27, 2005 by JeanGenie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardRocker Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I like Darkness.Hope they dont brake up like one band.I can't put finger on the of name of the band,but i know that the band was famouse,they sold millions of records and were rocking lunatics.

Garden Of Eden Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 I loved Frank, he was a great bassit, next thing you know it Ed(the drummer) is going to leave and the Hawkins brothers are going to become the new Nelsons. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
