    « Imagine how high pressure it would be if we actually gave a fuck what people thought! » is one of the coolest, most rock n’roll quote I’ve ever heard! And Justin’s reaction: priceless. Long life to the Darkness.

    Dan! This is Mat Mclean. You look EXACTLY the same as when as I last saw you in a rehearsal room in 1999!! Yes I was your co-session drummer with Liz Horseman!. They were fun times! I think I had a little TOO much fun, hence the departure, but it led to other things, as these things do!! Lovely to see you and looking so well my dear. xx

    Justin / Dan, if Hasbro can crowd fund products why cant The Darkness crowd fund a video shoot! For each level of investment offer a different level of "extras" ie behind the scenes videos of it being shot, stills, concept art (?), interviews, early access to the video etc........mostly what us fans get out of it is pride and the feeling of involvement.......do it man, I reckon you guys would have great support from some very cool people that just want to see you guys produce something visually amazing!

    We need a Part 2 of this. Superb! It has taken me a week to watch this as I went away for a few days after starting to watch. One of the funniest things I have seen for a while, but the mutual respect and brotherly bond shines through, despite everything they have been through. I say despite because don't forget, Justin buggered off for a while and left the guys in the lurch for a couple or so years which must have caused some rancour at the time maybe? But here they are now as strong as ever, making great music and making us laugh with tales of the Darkness antics from the past. Loved the part when they suddenly realised they were talking about the same gig. Boys eh? LOL ❤

    Lovely episode with Dan! Great to hear about those early demos and hand written lyrics and album title suggestions. I can't wait for the super duper deluxe over the top 20th Anniversary box of Permission to Land. Loved the discussion on albums versus singles and the "grid" versus making art. I have personally loved The Darkness because of the musical diversity. It would have been easy to ride the PTL template and drive that into the ground. I respect what The Darkness stands for and am probably more excited for the new music you create in the future than the PTL 2O. I love new music, keep it going Hawkins brothers!

    I truly enjoyed and appreciated seeing Justin and Dan talking away like two close friends. Such a far cry from many band mates who do not always share a common respect for each other. These two actually dearly care for each other and have a great repour together as band mates and brothers. Plus they show real interest in each others artistic views about the musical direction the band might pursue and agree on what they would like in the overall process. Great insight into how these two very talented artists interact with each other. We need more!!

    I've got to say, That every time I watch your show, Im a little more amazed by the humanity of the members of the Darkness.(rockstars) My favorite part is the Love, laughter and respect between to brothers, and the relationship of fellow musicians in the same band! I think you two are really blessed to have each other in the band and the same core guys. Look at motely crue and the bullshit. Even Guns and Roses, or Skid Row. The fucking drama. (so disgusting) you guys are more like AC/DC and The Rolling Stones. Still together, respecting, loving and playing together. Maybe its a British thing. I hope America is not so far gone that "family bands" are a thing of the past. You guys still in love with the music and the craft. Able to look back and laugh with each other, about each other. While planning a future. This was a great interview and peak into the life of Musician's, artist and brothers. This was the 20 year reunion special. Now grab the others and sit down together. !! Great Job, cant wait to hear what you have in mind for the future album, but please dont forget to ROCK! Think More Queen, through the years, different but not so foreign as to Alienate, or guide the fans to a new awesome level. Or a solo album to explore what drives you. A DOUBLE TREAT! Like your brother said, swing for the fences again, but not forget to let God in the room, for the magic to happen! the droopy mic moments. Heres my own example, me and a buddy went to building a huge outdoor wooden patio. we spent all day with levels and rulers, and couldnt not get it right but no matter how much, even though technically it was all perfect level in all direction, and you could see it was wrong. We asked my friends dad for help, 50 years building everything. He came over and kicked out posts with his boots, just started kicking all 20 or so posts, we were horrified, we had spent 8 hours building and leveling everything to the millimeter. But when he was done kcking with his boots its was perfect and it took him less than two seconds. Think about that. both of you. You already struck gold just by "feel". Spend the time, but liek you both said, youll know when its done! just like the best Cooks! album titles.. Pinch of Salt for ya!... Too many cooks! Heres a little salt in your eye..... Sandy cracks and tracks, the Beach album! my favorite .. Droopy Mic Moments (treatable with the little blue pill)

The timbers are familiar, I mean, the colors of their voices kind of have the same noticeable genetic traits... but Dan has a much lower tone of voice, while Justin really shows that he is the guy with that leading voice bright gift. Congratulations, guys. I'm a singer and you have made me enjoy music again! Thank you so much! From Brazil.

    Hi Justin and Dan, this is awesome to watch your chat. I love Sticky Situations, it is one that really sticks in my head. I am old but I love the idea of a full album from the band, rather than singles. The idea of a concept or a theme for an album makes everything have more meaning to me, and the tunes have a cohesiveness in terms of a time in my life, if not style of the music. I love all of your videos. You could all be playing in a garage in your yard work clothes and I would love it. HAHA Dan and his six week period and front ass.

    I've never seen anything with Dan where he wasn't great to watch or listen to and this was no exception 🙂 Highly entertaining! Favorite part? The Celine Dion karaoke!! Nearly broke me 😂
