JUSTIN, everyday I discover videos, off the wall projects, or songs that you have done in the past that somehow most of AMERICA completely missed out on! On one hand, I feel like I've been living under a rock or in a cave , and have been denied some of the BEST fun EVER , but on the other hand, I feel like I've discovered buried treasure. So much GREAT stuff to enjoy on RUclips, even if I'm 10 to 12 years late. 🙄 . I really wish I could find an album from "HOT LEG", & "CHEVY METAL". ALSO I loved the COAT TAIL RIDERS w/ YOU singing at the Taylor Hawkins tribute. The kindness that YOU & all the bands showed your dearly departed friend TAYLOR, has introduced this material to AMERICA & may cause a HUGE demand for more. Always brilliant stuff & fun times to be had by ALL when The Darkness, or the Hawkins boys get together to make music. THANK YOU. Your music ( no matter when it was released) is SO much better and more entertaining than 98% of music today. I have become one of your most enthusiastic AMERICAN fans. England KNOWS the treasure they have , and I hope they don't mind sharing YOU with their cousins across the pond. Once again, you made me smile today ,and I haven't done that in a LONG while. 😂❤🤗
@@fd9717 My last response was a bit short, so I'll go a bit further into my reasoning on the back of your response 🙂 On your earlier point that Pete has his distinctive sound, that's great, everyone should. The problem with a playing style like Pete's is that you have to hit those solos spot on every time, the way they are in your head (or on the recordings in some instances) needs to translate to the fret board when you play it live. His solos are so fast and "shreddy" in parts that it seems like he can't even keep up with himself which makes them sound totally sloppy. The other problem with his solos is that they're all fast and shreddy, there's four songs on this live performance and he does it on each one. It's like he's thinking "well if I just hit a bunch of notes really fast and shred the hell out of it, everyone will think I'm really talented". But then you have to have the technical skill to back that up, which in this live recording it seems like he hasn't, but the bigger problem being that it comes across as totally unnecessary and like he's a one trick pony. Hopefully that better explains why I took a shot at him. A few other people have mentioned it too in the comments.
@@fd9717 No I'm not really trying to educate at all, you have your opinion the same as I have mine. If you like and appreciate his playing on the performance then that's great. I just wanted to clear up what my thoughts were on my original comment. I'm a fan of Red Light Fever by the way. A few songs I'm not so keen on, but overall a very good album, particularly enjoy Trojan Guitar... What an awesome song that is!
talented steel panther, mate , steel panther is massively talented. satchel literally cam from MIT and was the bassist of paul gilbert plus lead guitarist of FIght, rob halfords band@@tomw1532
@@andyg3 I like them too. I think it’s a stylish move to be so over the top and edgy that it’s in a very clever way, punk rock in spirit. Hearing a person playing right up to the absolute limit of their physical abilities is a beautiful thing to behold. Doesn’t matter if it’s three chord punk or a technical sex-rock solo.
ok. i'm going to be my honest self. when i first opened this i thought i was looking at an SNL-like comedy rock band spoof. and i loved hair bands, glam rock and good old 70's Rockers. but this was just too much; over the top. maybe trying to hard or something.
I for one am thankful The Darkness reunited.
Justin wants to forget Hot Leg.

Love ya Man!
I love the darkness and everything involving Justin Hawkins. Thanks for all the good music Justin! 🤘🏻
So glad that this exists on RUclips. Why isn’t it on Spotify? Shame!
Thinking of the same thing. Had the album on my old computer. Such a strong album Red Light Fever and it needs to be on Spotify.
great seeing them live with a steady camera and well lit.
come to Australia!
Saw these guys in 2009 in Liverpool, fantastic gig, honestly I was almost upset when the Darkness reformed, haha!
love hot leg ;) amazinggg
Love the choreography in Primadona, i've got an uncontrollable urge to join in
Man Rock is back!
well of course this guy was here haha
I need a gin and tonic
Justin were really stylish these days!
This is such an amazing performance, it's really a shame it seems to have been recorded with a potato. Reupload please!
ah come on, pretend there are mids lol !
That Hair!!! Wow
Oh Justin my Justin! I know you were looking to do something different....
Love ya JDH❤
I love the darkness but these guys gel together better musically. J hawk with another gem
But isn't there in a better quality?...
Guitarist looks like Mark Gatiss from league of gentlemen....
It's a shit business...
Pete Rinaldi's solos were the only bad thing about this, as others have pointed out. Way too over the top, should have left the solos to Justin.
@@fd9717 Way over the top and unnecessary

Pete Rinaldi needs to reign it in. His solos are shite
BigDave Briggs Agreed - horrible solos.... and he looks like a teacher
i like them....
@@dieterschanzer7075 he actually is a guitar teacher 🤣🤣
@@di9478 How did you get to know? Like really if you have an access to him let me know

Lead guitarist massively overplays. 👎
Drummer needed slow down a bit. That tempo ruined the set
