Today let's take a look at a #ClassicRock #guitar #solo from the 2000s which went a long way to showing that rock music was very much alive & kicking despite claims to the contrary.

I saw them live last year here in Switzerland. It was fantastic. They played the "permission to land " album. A lot of fun and a few beer.🍻🤘🏻🎸🇨🇭

[@alanwilson1724]

I was listening to Permission To Land yesterday for the first time in ages, it still sounds great!

[@batphink2655]

I just knew you would feature The Darkness, their song 'Open Fire' seriously rocks among many others! I think they timed it perfectly and actually saved Hard Rock.

[@skippertheeyechild6621]

Fantastic song. Love Growing on Me as well. The album after that was unfairly judged. It's different but also bloody fun.

[@jcugnoni]

The Darkness is such an epic band. Needs more recognition in my opinion.

[@philoshaughnessy906]

The Darkness. I just don't see it, myself.

[@derekclacton]

Justin is a very talented chap and Dan rocked a Thin Lizzy T-shirt on stage - that makes them ok in my book! 👍

[@batphink2655]

I don;t think Dan has changed that shirt....yet LOL!

[@MyName-4884]

Looooooove the Darkness! The guitar and songwriting on that first album were phenomenal.
Also, always loved this solo as well.
Nice! Thanks so much!

[@bravestarr8857]

The album is great! Even the guy who sold it to me at Tesco said so! They've got a really good catalogue - no real media attention though. Check out "Rock and Roll Deserves to Die". Many thanks for the video.

[@philjobbins2325]

Bought mine at Tesco too !

[@steviemac8075]

Brilliant John, thanks for that. 👏👏👍🏻

[@jeffroq]

Cheers John - Great band great tune.

[@steel_horse7570]

the solo in the play out of the song is also excellent

[@malcolmspillett8172]

I bought that CD!

[@BrentAdams]

I'm over in the U.S. I don't remember ever listening to the group "The Darkness" at all.🤔

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Check 'em out. A fun band who know how to rock like it's 1979 👍

[@kevincarlos973]

Check out their first album. Amazing guitar playing and fun songs!

[@michaelcole3018]

No arguments from me.
