- You asked so I shall answer. In this video I'll tell you the worst thing a fan has said to me, how I can come up with so many new guitar solos, what you need to be become a "successful" musician and the artist I'd most like to collaborate with (along with a few other things). Thank you again for all your questions, I really enjoy interacting with all of you who watch this channel OUR channel, you could say. A big thanks and gratitude to those of you who gave me a SuperThanks, your generosity is incredible. I will bring my daughter out for a trip on a speedboat next week as a special treat!

Any questions?
Will you do a BABYMETAL reaction video? I'd be interested in seeing your reaction and critiques on them!
Wyo on Harry Styles live performances?
♛ Have you ever been invited to be a guest vocalist for Queen ? you have the voice and teeth for it ♛
What is your prized possession? :)
I saw you mention a few of your vintage synths a few weeks back, but I haven't yet heard you mention anything about the DX7!
Apologies if it's common knowledge - I'm a new fan of the channel and have been relentlessly working my way through your past videos 😄👍
I never really got into The Darkness before now, but I was SO happy to find your channel and find that we shared so many thoughts and opinions. It has honestly been just a wonderful pool of wisdom for me to spend time with. Thank you!
I was in a very popular local band for years and the worst thing that a "fan" ever did to me was unplug my guitar during a guitar solo and told me that "I sucked" and they wished that "I was never born." That was the last time I ever invited my mother to a show.
Ahaaa.....so funny.....😂
I didn't see that one coming, Not so Terrible Paulsey. That was funny. Haa ha
Is your mother's name Doris? :0)
Then the drummer played "BADDum TSSHhhhh"
Doesn't sound like a fan to me
I love how all your titles are semi-click baity but you are extremely modest and positive about everything. Its great lol.
They're at least relevant to what the videos about!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgainJustin, how and when did you meet Jenny your producer?? Did you guys hit it off right away or did you grow on each other? ?
I’m finding your vids extremely relaxing n great for my mental wellness. Thanks man 💜
Thanks for watching!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain hey Justin, would love to hear your stories covering the concepts for your music videos such as the squid on spaceship for I Believe In A Thing Called Love and the clone marriage for Is It Just Me.
I feel the same way!
Hey Justin, just wanted show some appreciation for your channel. I’ve never been a ‘Darkness’ fan, but not not a fan, if that makes sense. It just been a case of too much music, too little time. But watching you, I really appreciate your passion, knowledge, humour, and calming presence. Watching you over the last few months I think I better delve into the catalogue now, I’m pretty certain it’s gonna be a fun ride. Thanks again for the content mate, it’s awesome stuff, cheers from Oz.
Hi Justin. Not at all a fanboy, but your youtube channel is so excellent it hurts! What an amazing gent you are, and I love the technical content. Keep up the good work. You are instructively humble and educationally knowledgeable. Not easy, or usual.....
Totally realistic perspective of the creative process. It's enjoying the gift you have been given.
Nothing but love for Justin. My Darkness - Danko Jones - Headstones playlist gets me through chemo. It's the perfect mix of getting your head out of that hospital setting and powering up my "fuck cancer" vibe. Without music, I'd be stuck in that chair with no way to tune any of it out. Last run I wrote out "Lucas June 7th 1963" on my paperwork, just to avoid removing my earbuds to answer the check question, "Last name and date of birth?" Keep on rocking Justin and yes, do it for me specifically.
Yay! so happy to have my questions be a part of your discussion again. Being put in a headlock would definitely be bizarre and scary!
The meet and greets you and your band have done are by far the best I've ever seen. Even with the covid restrictions you've managed to keep them fun and personable. Everyone who loves TD needs this experience at least once..or ten..times.💕
You are so delightfully humorous! That keeps us non musicians tuning in and LEARNING. I'm finding out a lot just by listening and watching your cute style. It sticks in my head. Also, being compared to Brian May is a HUMONGOUS HONOR. That was really nice.
Growing on me was a good pick, one of my favorite songs of all time, love you buddy!
"That sounds like a little spider falling down a ladder;" My new all time favourite quote. You should put it on a T shirt. You should def get merch for this channel.
Justin I've said this multiple times The Darkness do the best meet n greet I've ever been to with your VIP's. You take so much time with the fans (even in this COVID world). Thank you so much for being so gracious with your time preshow 🖤
Shut up Kristin.
Exactly. What covid? Take your mask and gtfo.
@540マンモス
Covid is coming back, they are allready hyping it up in the news, covid 2 the movie
Mmmmmmm.....i managed to get Eds signature.....he was the only one that wanted to come out to sign at sheffield Arena.....still got the poster with ed signed in big gold letters.....nice one Ed....we miss you man.....hope your doing well...👍
Thanks for the answer, Justin! Yeah, I can totally hear the Brian, Angus, and Eddie in your playing. Cheers!
Growing On Me was the main inspiration for my first proper band. Proper tune and inspired lyrics. Thank you Justin for still bringing inspiration and entertainment to us.
Thanks
Cheers Chris!
Louis Cole is amazing. He's also a great and really humble person. I hope you get to work with him.
The live Knower videos that look like they’re filmed in a house have great energy and musicianship. As a bassist watching Sam Wilkes, whoa
I never thought I'd see LC mentioned on this channel. Knower and Louis Cole are cool as fluck
Thanks!
Thanks Anthony!
Growing on Me is definitely one of your best songs. The lyrics are hilarious/clever, the melodies are catchy, the guitar work is amazing.
Love you & your channel. Thank you 🖤
Thank you so much!
Can't wait to see you guys at the Forum in Melbourne in October, have purchased tickets for both nights and VIP. Will be my 4th and 5th time seeing you live.
I love comments days & your channel jingle! 💖 All the videos & analyses are interesting, lighten spirits, & bring smiles & laughter ~ You are a beacon of light! Thank you, Justin!! 💖💖
I dunno how I missed this video I'm so late. I'm not big on covers but I love what you guys did with street spirit definitely a favourite of mine
Thanks for all your videos and sharing your thoughtful insights! I'm a big Darkness fan and I love seeing you on the youtube!
Thanks for answering my question!
For comments day: On the topic of older singers losing it. I saw Bryan Adams recently and his voice is OFF THE CHART amazing. What's he got that Bon Jovi etc doesn't? Also is that a room in your house you shoot from? PS. I toured with you back in "Hot Leg" days. We played fives together at some uni. Thought you were a top bloke!
Justin, I was there right in front of you & Dan when you guys played in Berlin last Saturday. I've been to your gigs many times over the years and as much as the crowd wasn't the greatest this time around, having the experience of singing my heart out throughout the whole set and locking eyes with you (PLUS trading affectionate heart gestures with yourself) will be something I'll always remember fondly - even if you ended up hitting my girlfriend's eye when you threw your pick for her to get it.
You inspire me deeply. Much love to you and the whole band, you are legends.
Hi Justin Please do a video about your vintage synth collection and may be a demostration. Love your channel Cheers❤
Great channel Justin 🤘🏻
Thanks Dan!
One of my fav things about this show is that I ALWAYS learn something. I'm a music 'nerd' as well, so that's saying something 😉
Thank you for turning me on to Louis Cole! I love his quirky, clever funky sound style
There's nothing quite like an understated nod to convey sincere respect between equals. You can keep your hugs and elaborate handshakes, nods are where it's at.
Thank you for another great video, Justin. Always very insightful 🙂
I am really curious about how talented some well known artists are when they're playing an instrument they're not as well known for. For example, Paul McCartney plays drums on the Foo Fighters track Sunday Rain even though we're unlikely to ever see him play it live. How good are you at drums and will we ever see you record or play them live?
Thanks so much Rob!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain could you explain how I could give you a tenner. I would buy you a pint of your preferred liquid if I met you. I want to thank you for all this edutainment.
@@Oooo-bi7bi You do it by pressing the "Thanks" button below the video near where you press the Like button
@@Aldarux cheers man. Payday on Wednesday I can finally buy him a pint. Thanks again for taking the time to help me.
Hi Mr Justin!
Hope this makes your Q & A. I’ve recently started learning the guitar at the ripe old age of 52 and I’m loving it!
What is the most valuable piece of advice you could offer a beginner like myself?
Loving the channel.
"Sounds like a little spider falling down a ladder", is about THE best music description I've heard in a long, long time!
Thank you for that, Justin!
I was pissing myself at that comment.
Great Channel, great content, great guy. I really do enjoy your insight and analysis, thank you. 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👊✌️.
Hi Justin, I'd like to recommend you some great Colombian rock bands, maybe you can react to them.
1. La Pestilencia
2. The Black Cat Bone
3. La Mojiganga
4. Kraken
5. Los PetitFellas
Hope you can give them a chance.
Cheers.
Really looking forward to the Aussie tour in October got VIP tickets 🎫🎸
Another wonderful video, Justin! Quick one for the Q and A - some of your lyrics are wonderfully witty - do you have a favourite 'humorous' lyric that you've written?
lol, I just realised that Street Spirit (Fade Out) ends with an isolated "again" - just like this here amazing channel's theme.. bravo sir!
Thanks for answering my question. You rock!
Hi Justin love your show! I would like to see an episode about the on going debate if Bon Scott was involved in the lyrics to ac/dcs back in black Album. There seems to be so much evidence pointing in that direction.
Having the pleasure of seen you next February in leeds Been a avid viewer of your channel from day one love the interaction you give your fans on this channel.
If ya see a nutter in front row with a cap. Just think " that's that dude who pests me youtube channel " 🤣🤘🤘
Even with covid restrictions, the VIP meet and greets are fantastic! I loved it!
Saw Louis Cole live at Earth in Hackney a year or so ago, he was absolutely fantastic absolutely love him, so talented, Justin it would be amazing to collab with Louis🔥.
Alcohol and excitement do crazy things to you hope that guy was put into a headlock and given a good talk to about personal space and respect
this helped me kick off another great Saturday, Justin... thanx for always having great energy and vibes to go with your honest takes. cheers, -Swiney
Can you please do a video about all your tattoos?when you got em, what they are...stuff like that
your alot of fun man,,,enjoying your vids
11:18 When he starts playing Queen, I couldn't not hear Dire Straits and Tunnel of Love in that little riff. A very good excuse to go and listen to that song, if ever one was needed!
Hi Justin! What you have is really outstanding relative pitch, which I think is better, because I have heard and read that perfect pitch is age limited, meaning you lose perfect pitch as you get older. Relative pitch is forever, as far as I know, because I'm old and still have it. It's my only superpower, other than ADHD which is why I type out long replies in comments to people who will never read them. Hope I'm not too annoying.
You are okay, April.
@@sirchromiumdowns2015 Thank you, kind Sir.
You had me at hello.
Justin great of you to mention Brian May though when you play harmony guitar runs you sound a lot like Lizzy at time which is what attracted me to your band. Maybe you could give us a run through of your gear some time? Cheers mate!
Theres a rig rundown... search it. Its great.
Thank You Justin, you've turned me on to Louis Cole, nice one pal. On Ice as we speak, take care my good man, keep shining, smiling and posting!
I would say it seems like Justin has really good relative pitch - which is more impressive than perfect pitch because it needs to be cultivated and developed! As someone who has done sight singing, this is no mean feat. Well done Mr H ☺️
Perfect pitch can be cultivated, too. Universities have done a lot of research on pitch. According to testing, mine is perfect (ear-wise), but I’ve fried my vocal cords with smoking.
I think your witty rhyming skills are some of the best in the rock business
hi Justin < i wanted to say that i am really loving your channel, and i want to say congratulations on your recover. I think that you are an extremely talented person and glad that you are still making music, i also love the tee shirt you are wearing can you please tell me were i can buy one thanks for the tunes and stay well ..
Love your channel🏆
Thanks for the shoutout Justin. Love the channel. Really entertaining and engaging. Would love your input on an NB tune. Perhaps in a “be nice” segment. If not, I still love you. But I’m likely to continue to pester you. Cheers. Steve - NB
A band has their whole life to write their first album and then once in the music machine- they have a year to write the next.
Is it hard to “produce” an album on someone else’s timeline?
Cheers Dylan! (again!)
Hello Justin, my question is how do you decide what music you wish to discuss? Also what do you think of musicians (like walk off the earth) , who became viral with a youtube cover, which then launches them on to success and awards. Or I guess your thoughts on the different mediums ( spotify, youtube etc. ) used to share/Sell music and art seeing as the classic cd/ record store system is dare I say it .. aging ( former HMV employee lol) Also when Will the Darkness be touring Canada? All the best , thanks , R
Will you be doing meet and greets on your UK tour next year? Love the channel by the way, and watch your new uploads as soon as they pop up! Cheers
fantastic singer and showman love your opinions so interesting
Hi Justin! Love you and the channel. When did you realize you could sing and how did you go about developing your voice? Love and cheers!
I just figured out your guitar intro. Really cool!
LOL your A/B testing on video titles needs to be tracked and documented. I say that with utmost respect. As a person that would have watched the other title name too but it's a long weekend! Slow your roll marketer :) A sunny weekend is more powerful with an acoustic guitar on the beach.
Right On! EPIC 🙏🤘🎹🤘🙏
❤️ Ur channel m8
Hope Ur paying that band well that U keep showin clips of!!!
No ? Just much love thxs again Sir Justin
Yes to more Louis Cole ❣️
Interesting questions,and great answers!
The Cornish festival was Looe fest, that was the first time I saw you guys!
Been getting into this podcast recently, always loved the Darkness. Would be great to see you take your camera out and about of the studio- perhaps on a speedboat ride, for example! Also, would love to know what you think of other bands covering your songs( Hayseed Dixie comes to mind, loved their covers of yours, and many other songs. 🤣👌 Ride on ( agaiinnnnnnn)!
Sorry to hear about the headlock incident. It’s purely abuse! Even though I’m sure the person thought they were being funny etc reminds me of the Chris Witty incident during lockdown when someone wanted a photo and wrapped their arm around his neck. It’s scary😔
Maybe an episode on SIBLINGS IN ROCK BANDS? (Van Halens, Youngs, Hawkinses, Gallaghers, and such)
I love Radiohead and I was absolutely blown away by The Darkness's rendition of Street Spirit.
I have a Brian May BG special guitar, it's just a fat, big, rich, lush sound. Great guitars.
I believe the commenter is confusing perfect pitch, with relative pitch. Perfect pitch actually makes it harder to be in tune all the time. Relative pitch means you are 99.99% of the time in the correct pitch within the scale you are using.
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
Now that I think of it. I decided to get a Brian May guitar after seeing a live video of "I believe in a thing called love" where you were playing with Brian May. The tone difference between your Les Paul and his Old Lady was very interesting and exciting.
Much love!
Seen this cover on the Isle of Man when they come over to play here during TT week
Would love to see what you think of Adam and the Metal Hawks(AMH) Talented young guys with a great classic rock sound. Vocals are off the chart!
I’m very interested in a Louis Cole collab.
Juuuustin Hawkins riiides aaaagaaain ... woke up at three in the morning to chuck a pis and ive got that in my head. On repeat. Not sure how I feel about all of this. Either way, thanks for the vids. Cheers mate. And there it fking is again it just will. Not. Stop.
Hi Justin, it would be really something unusual if you analyze the work of some artist who is not part of popular music, rock, pop etc .. For example the music of a Dhafer Youssef would be too interesting to hear what you think, love your channel 👏👏 thank you!
“Little spider falling down a ladder” omg that is perfect.
Lewis cole is rumoured to be (definitely 100% is) in a band called clown core. Would love to see your thoughts on that. Incredible talent put to use with some very heavy/strange music.
Guitar licks: the hammer on pull-offs in the solo of "Thing Called Love" was great, and fun to play. Or try to play 😄 I thought "Friday Night" was a wonderful song.
Lewis Cole is a mad genius!
Cheers from west coast Florida
Would love to see you do something with Marc Rebillet. Would be so funky.
do you think you'll do a video on biffy clyro?? would be interesting to hear your opinion on them
love the videos really fun and informative 🤟🤟🤟
Why is that bands name so bad?
@@lunchb0x1986 it's meant to be weird lol 😆 they picked the name so you can go what the hell 🤣🤣
Plus all the generic names have been taken 🤣🤣🤣
For some reason you really make me think of Robert Sheehan
That tee-shirt is a masterpiece.
That might be the most glorious shirt that has ever graced mine eyes.
Hello mr. Hawkins, huge fan.
Hello Justin! I have a question for your next question day. Firstly, thank you for all of these incredible videos. I have learned so much! Secondly, my question is, what are the records/albums/songs you'd be happy to listen to over and over again, if you were stuck on a desert island? Thank you again for your excellent videos. Justine x
My assumptions are nick drake, Richard Thompson, Aerosmith 🤣🤣🤣
@@stellaotto5654 Nice choices! I'm looking forward to finding out! ❤
I bloody love those glasses. Literally shades of Rupert Holmes of Pina Colada Song fame.
My favourite:
We had not long set sail
When a gust of a gale
Whisked my poor deckchair away
Into the brine
This blusterous swine
Stole something precious from me that day
Agree with your Louis Cole thing. Just checked him out. The guy is way cool.
My circle would be complete if you did a take on Dinosaur Jr
Cant believe that was 20 years ago, making me feel old
I believe in a thing called love got my attention, Growing on Me was the song that made me a fan. Well, GYHOMWMF also.
Three questions: BabyMetal, Gnome, and did you have time to enjoy "The Todd Rundgren Radio Show" LP?
🎶💖🎶...Cornwall is rather scary(especially these days!🥴) well, you certainly seem to have caught attention and reminded a long lost music-soul what was once loved&enjoyed. Can you spare a nugget of your way/outlook?🙌obviously too late in this day n age for this particular bean🧟♀️ Oh remembering ...Ozzfest many many moons ago🕺
A welcome break away from doom watching your videos✨🙃 ✨
Justin, thanks, I really enjoy all of these videos. I'd love to hear you talk about Frank Zappa, as a composer and a lead guitarist. Check out his solo on the newly released version of Dupree's Paradise from Edinboro PA on the Zappa/Erie release. Or maybe check out Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar. At anyrate, thanks again! Your videos here are what turned me onto checking out your bands. All the best to you.
