Other people: "Greta Van Fleet will save rock". Me: "Cool, but for those who've been paying attention, The Darkness have been saving rock for the last 20 years!"
In my opinion one of THE most underrated rock bands ever. Saw them live in Sacramento in September with my daughter. We are Darkness fans for life. So damn great live. 🤟
Saw them few days ago on festival. I knew them berfore, except for few songs I never really liked them, but performing live, that was really different. They may not be the biggiest band arround that show, they had no obvious hits, headbangers etc., but still it was such a pleasure to watch and listen them performing, playing their instruments with such ease and skill. It was certainly not the biggest show, but musically, it was really completely different level among the bands like the offspring, Yungblud, Sum41, Bring me the horizon, parkway drive, royal republic or palaye royale also performing there. Respect.
Omg just "discovered" this band today, I'm so so late to this BUT better late than never. I had a really awful fucked up day. It's 2022 and a lot of daily life flat out sucks BUT finding The Darkness has made it better! Thank you guys soooo much from the bottom of my old lady grandmother heart.
I was just over listening to Everlong by the Foo Fighters when I ran across your post about never really being loved the way others have. The very next song I click on, and I see you again. I really hope life is looking up for you and that you find the love you deserve. Your words really resonated with me because I kinda feel the same as you. I dedicate one of my all time favorite songs for the last 30 years to you. I have listened to this song so many times over the years because I just find it comforting. And it just plain rocks. Wildside- Looks like love. ruclips.net/video/C9NzoxrjN_A/видео.html
They're incredible Hanna (especially live where they somehow improve every time I've seen them), and welcome along to The Darkness family (finally) - all are welcome, none ever leave!!
Riff, Groove, Vocals, Solo, Video...... it’s got it all, one of their best songs by a country mile and totally unrecognised by most of the world. Very underrated group.
It's recognized by Cult fans. It's a tribute to their style. Justin and Company are amazing in their own right. I'd live to see Ian and Billy cover Open Fire.
I'm guessing you don't listen to many rock bands then. This song is great, but in no way is it one of the best in the last 20 years. In fact, it's kind of generic.
I'm 48 years old. This is the first "new" band I've gotten excited about in many, many years. I don't listen to the radio, or watch tv. A coworker was playing some song of theirs, and I'm grateful!
@@cmikesmith664 I honestly would like the band(s) songs to be less derivative but I find cool that he sings like that, its pretty unique tone. It separates him from his influences like Astbury, Mercury, etc.
i was listening to planet rock radio and from what i remember, one of the presenters said a member of the cult actually helped the darkness when recording which is how they got the sound and it sounds so much like the cult.
If you're a fan and love this song, even though it's approaching 4 years old , you need to call your radio stations and request it over and over. Get your friends to do the same thing to the same radio stations. Start generating a buzz for the song so that stations listen. Radio stations are not playing it because they have no talent in their executives anymore, plus no one takes the initiative to call. Everyone just whines on social media now. Email radio stations too, even from different email addresses.
Because “rock” stations would rather feed us shit like theory of a deadman, seether, bad wolves, bad flower and a bunch of other boring mediocre cookie cutter buttock shit
I'm really glad that The Darkness still has that good "old school" pure rock and metal sound in year 2016 ^^. They've really defrosted hell and saved rock 'n' roll again as they said back in 2005 in their music video "One way ticket to hell and back" :)
I love this. Great to hear Justin exploring new styles of singing, even though I love his falsetto. This feels even stronger than the last album. I do miss Ed though, hope he's alright.
***** It was supposedly a mutual split, I think it was health issues (it usual is.) Drummers always get hurt the worst because their job is the most physically demanding.
LuneyTune72 I hadn't realised he has left - I am from Lowestoft, the band's home town...hadn't read anything locally about it - great new music though!
LuneyTune72 apparently it isn't his health this time thankfully, he just has some issues that he needs to sort out in his private life, and his work got in the way of that. If that is the case, I guess the door is open for him in the future.
I'm 34 first got into the darkness in 03 & loved them ever since, there still rocking better than anyone, seen them last week at the Barras, welcome to Glasgea! Long live the darkness! 😎🎸🔥🏴👍
I decided to check this out randomly because I've been watching Justin Hawkins Rides Again show and this song came up during a question was intruiged by the different vocal take... I had always thought The Darkness sang with the high falsetto style from "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" throughout and never knew he could sound like this... this sounds pretty damned good, good on Justin
I also follow Justin's channel, which led me to revisit The Darkness. I'm really glad I did. Great old school rock from a group of extremely talented musicians and Justin's voice is absolutely insane.
This song is amazing. Yes, i do hear the Cult in it. Justin's voice sounds great. He's embraced a more hard rock less falsetto sound that he used to have on The Darkness first two albums.
@@Naz67 That's 100% right. When I saw this vid I thought "fuck, Rufus is even prettier than his old man was back in the day!" Of course, now I know that's Emily Dolan Davies, not Rufus Taylor, son of Queen drummer Roger, who replaced her after this album.
I can not understand why this band isn't massive..they are as good as any rock band out there.....did they upset someone in a high place...it begs the question.
Only vince neil screams...Motley Crue are bigger words...they looks that kill...micky,nick and tommy´s rithym is unique...but i like this song...regards
Is it just me or are others noticing how much more dynamic Justin has gotten with his singing abilities? This CD kicks ass and they're getting better and better. Please let your next video be for Wheels of the Machine! :)
HughieDixon absolutely positively therapeutic. helped me through some very difficult life bitz. "Nothings Gonna Stop Us" in particular. and all of the Hot Cakes videos
This song is one of my favourite songs of all time it's just totally cool and kicks ass at the same time and it does sound similar to The Cult She Sells Sanctuary but who cares even if they sound the same there still the coolest rock tunes on the planet so who cares but great video and nice one to The Darkness for doing it again cheers everyone.
Discovered this song only about a week ago and have to listen to it daily since. And every time I do, my face looks like the drummer's. That's a good thing. A really, really good thing.
Don’t waste my time daydreams I’m living my nightmare Every semblance of hope in his life Surrenders to dispair So I embrace the darkness Because it’s always there Give me an open fire Blazes in your eyes Burns right through the night (open fire) I could live nocturnally I could live without daylight (open fire) Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire) Open fire, on my heart (open fire) The world has got a dark side Every day it turns But the sun only shines occasionally And when it does it burns I am not enlightened Everybody knows Give me an open fire Blazes in your eyes Burns right through the night (open fire) I could live nocturnally I could live without daylight (open fire) Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire) Open fire, on my heart (open fire)
I'm just discovering these guys in the past couple of weeks and this might have to be my favorite song from them so far! I'll definitely explore more of their songs and music videos!
Love this song soooo much. Dan's driving rhythm guitar at 0.38 and the look of approval as he looks over Justin's shoulder during the solo at 2.52. Brilliant. The album is amazing and I can't wait to see them in December in Oxford.
You can hear and feel Justin's love for The Cult dropped in all over the place in this!! A proper tarmac smasher which can only be played at the highest setting; eleven.
I still believe that the day that the Darkness will be spoken on every corner of the world will come. Never give up , never. You know why? Because there is noone to compare with you. Justin's vocal perfomance has no rival today
My favorite new rock band. These guys kick ass. Boy did they miss their calling from the early MTV days. All their videos rock especially With A Woman. I did get that Cult feel from this song as well but I agree with the previous posts that they have their own signature on this one. Glad to see someone still producing rock (Greata Van Fleet another new gem). This music has lots of power and soul. Not like today's hip hop crap that puts me to sleep. The Darkness-Rock On brothers!!!
I agree that the influence of the cult is really strong, above all, when it comes to the chord progression.. But still, there are some clear cut elements that are not typically cultish, the guitar tone, which is more hard rock and brutal and the solo which is a typical Justin-like! It's the perfect combination between the band's influences and their own way of playing and style! In the end though, the only thing that matters is that THE DARKNESS are Fuckin back lads!!! 💪💪😉
Mario Grassi AGREED Nice Classic Cult element with other great ingredients!!! Just like a Classic Record should have! Glad to see the guys back!!Also a bit of Brian May influence at 1.46!! =0)
I love Justin's sound/range, the way he uses his vocals. King Diamond is my favorite singer, so, I was attracted to Justin's vocals. But I think this man has done pretty amazing things with his voice/music, having a fresh 70s/old school rock sound, having these rich songs, when I thought that market was over saturated, nothing left? Good for him!
I really love that sound of the guitar at 2:18 to 2:40 alot of 80s music had that cool part I love when they add that in what a feeling that gives off I always look for that in music song just randomly popped up on my Spotify playlist and I was happy to find this gem.
Other people: "Greta Van Fleet will save rock".
Me: "Cool, but for those who've been paying attention, The Darkness have been saving rock for the last 20 years!"
Whatever happened to Greta Van Fleet?
@@Blackheathenly They've released some real solid stuff but a lot of people stopped listening and hyping them after they stopped being a LZ clone.
So true tho darkness literally brought it back in 2000’s… 90s was dead
Greta Van who??? 😂😂😂
ninguém escuta greta nem a thunberg tbm
Justin Hawkins is everything Johnny Depp wishes he could be.
Except his bank balance
@@andrewwalker9830*Brutal*

It's their admitted homage to the Cult. If you get a chance to see them live, don't miss it. Killer live act.
Makes sense. I've caught myself involuntarily belting "SANCTUAAAARAA-AY" on top of this gem several times, for no apparent reason.
Now I know why...
I wish The Cult would still record this kind of rock music. Great production!
seen them twice, best live bsnd you will ever see.
can confirm killer live act, saw them for the first time 5 days ago in liverpool. 10/10 will see them again
Cult + Billy Idol I think
PLAY THIS LOUD, ON REPEAT, ALL THROUGH THE QUARANTINE
Amen
Agree
Even before this shit, I was already doing this
still doing it🤘
What quarantine?? Oh you mean the liberal flu hoax to stop Donald Trump--TRUMP 2020

Welcome, friend.
They have a great back catalogue but their debut album is still the benchmark
Enjoy, they're catalogue is extensive and filled with great music.
This is one of the best rock songs I’ve heard in years! It’s like a cross between The Cult and Zodiac Mindwarp. In other words, amazing!!

@@braddyboy83 not British.

The Darkness have always had a natural ability to make great music, period.
One of the greatest guitar solos of the past 20 years. I wish they would have done a better job promoting the album - everyone needs to hear this
This is by far my favourite The Darkness tune.
Yes!! I love the Cult
@@cmikesmith664 Hawkins has a great high pitch range but theres no way he can sing baritones notes like Ian Astbury did in his prime.
@@Paulnap, ok. So The Darkness writing and performing a song that sounds like a Cult song. What could be better?
Both are great bands🔥💃.

Possibly the GREATEST Rock and song ever written
Yes
It’s totally The Cult but it’s a beautiful tribute to them. The Cult set the example!🤘🏻
This is such a great comment. I agree 100%.
i was listening to planet rock radio and from what i remember, one of the presenters said a member of the cult actually helped the darkness when recording which is how they got the sound and it sounds so much like the cult.
Sounds like an 80s rock hit. Love it!
the cult
@@roterfuchs8201lol it does actually, similar to love removal machine
This song is literally the medication I need.
I love the old-school punch of Les Paul's through a Marshall amp. This song rocks.
This guy does the best version of that. He's like a guitar alchemist.
First time I heard this song the very next thing I did was play it again and again. lol This song rocks.
Doing the exact same thing mate. Top band and song.
Da best
it rocks becoz it is rock, sounds exactly like the 80s and 90s
HEY! I recognize that Monarch!😉
Brother Mc Bet you didn't know I was Irish as well. lol
Best rock song of the past 10 years
Gregory Eschbacher you should check out rival sons
Listen to a female rock band called “The Warning “
Absolutely
The production on this album is freaking amazing. Dan Hawkins has really sonically mastered the sound of rock.
How isn't this on the radio bringing joy to people's lives? :O
it´s because there is only shit music on the radio
cos there payed of clowns to your demise its all in the fine print.

I always embrace The Darkness! 🤘🏻😎👍🏻
As some internauts noticed, the influence of the Cult is clear, in particular on guitars...which makes me love the band even more!

Glam Rock masters. Great song, one of the best bands since early 80s. Theese guys keep the 70s Rock's flame burning.

Every now and then I like to come back to this and leave it on repeat for a couple of hours. Still awesome.
Same here!
Discovered this song only about a week ago and have to listen to it daily since.
And every time I do, my face looks like the drummer's.
That's a good thing. A really, really good thing.
This song is like Def Leppard and the Cult had a baby. 🤘
2023 and still loving this song. Drummer Emily Dolan should never have left the band, she really brings a completely different sound to the Darkness.
The high notes from this guy...👍🏻👍🏻
I'll never not love this song
Such a great 80’s vibe, but fresh as can be. So good live!
Don’t waste my time daydreams
I’m living my nightmare
Every semblance of hope in his life
Surrenders to dispair
So I embrace the darkness
Because it’s always there
Give me an open fire
Blazes in your eyes
Burns right through the night (open fire)
I could live nocturnally
I could live without daylight (open fire)
Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire)
Open fire, on my heart (open fire)
The world has got a dark side
Every day it turns
But the sun only shines occasionally
And when it does it burns
I am not enlightened
Everybody knows
Give me an open fire
Blazes in your eyes
Burns right through the night (open fire)
I could live nocturnally
I could live without daylight (open fire)
Give me a hug on a sheepskin rug
Tell me that we’ll never part (open fire)
Open fire, on my heart (open fire)
One of the best bands you can see live energy is always high and they're sound in any venue is off the charts brilliant
Great song, great sound. And the solo is outstanding!
I'm just discovering these guys in the past couple of weeks and this might have to be my favorite song from them so far! I'll definitely explore more of their songs and music videos!
This songs hits you like a sledgehammer then just keeps on going! WHAT A TUNE!! 🤘🏻
Agreed!!!
I could listen to this all day long and not get tired of it,they are the best british band I have heard since a verry long time

Same as me !!!
Sounds a lot like The Cult at their best. Need more like this in the 2020s!
God they were great last night! The new songs are all sensation live and Justin absolutely smashes the vocals live, needs to be seen to be believed!
Just makes me wanna play guitar again
Jack Woolner 😁😁
this song fucking rocks. how did i not know the darkness had more than 1 album!? buying the rest right meow
Was listening to this after listening to Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads era. This Darkness tune is solid! Rock and roll!
What a track by a vastly underated band
You can hear and feel Justin's love for The Cult dropped in all over the place in this!! A proper tarmac smasher which can only be played at the highest setting; eleven.
Really enjoyed "Hot Cakes" and now this! The Darkness is so much more than their "whole lotta more than ten year old hit song"!
Georg Hägglund bands that evolve the hardest, rock the hardest
Adream withinadream Hot Cakes is a great album! I'm a big Permission to Land fan. Justin is an incredible singer. That voice is hauntingly beautiful.
I don't bloody care what anybody says - this is the best Cult record for years.
The Darkness, please cross the pond and come to NY.
You guys are great would love to see you live. I'm hooked. Open Fire
is a kick ass song.
hopefully a tour next year if not a new album!! 👀
Anyone get a "She Sells Sanctuary" vibe?
John Bonham yes I did..
John Bonham sounds a tad like fire woman. they do admit the cult was an influence. i like both bands...
John Bonham ME TOO! I was thinking this when i first hear the opening riff! Pure influence from the cult, just awesome!
CHRIST YOU'RE ALIVE!!!! Does robert plant know?
yessssss exactly what I was thinking
I still believe that the day that the Darkness will be spoken on every corner of the world will come. Never give up , never. You know why? Because there is noone to compare with you. Justin's vocal perfomance has no rival today
The Cult type mixdown and recording style.
My first thought exactly!
Right up there with "She Sells Sanctuary" Awesome music and musicians.
Nice call - very true
Total cult feel, but the chorus lyrics sound like motley crue to me.
Yeah...reminds me a lot of "Kickstart My Heart"
This song just opened fire on my brain.
Bobaganush26 on my Ears.
Made my morning! The vocals and guitar and everything in this song and video rock! Welcome back.. THE DARKNESS!!
KillerKaprice I love the fire crotch walk at the very beginning of the video. lol

When I ask “Where has The Darkness been all my life?” I realize that radio has basically failed me.
This is how to do a rock video on a budget. Freaking love The Darkness, keep blessing us with fantastic music, the world needs it.

I really love that sound of the guitar at 2:18 to 2:40 alot of 80s music had that cool part I love when they add that in what a feeling that gives off I always look for that in music song just randomly popped up on my Spotify playlist and I was happy to find this gem.
Check out The Cult Fire Woman
Totally different than the Darkness songs on their first 2 albums, which I love. This song is wow!
Damn good song, the darkness is still one of the greats
This song is fricking awesome!
