Thank you all for being here with me! 500k is mind-blowing and I feel ever so grateful. I'll be back in January and I hope you will be too - if you want to come see me live as you know you can get tickets here: tinyurl.com/kneukve2 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Xxx
Congratulations on reaching the 500k milestone! Hope you both have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thanks Justin for the joyous experience of The Darkness live on this tour and my ticket is already purchased for JHRA at Gateshead. ❤
Justin comes on to tell us he's taking time off, then goes on for nearly 20 minutes, showing us around and introducing us to his crew and even his parents!! TAKE A BREAK MAN!! Thank you for all the shows, all the songs, all the concerts, wish I'd discovered you guys 20 years ago, I've got a lot of catching up to do! Cheers! :)
I guess he just wanted to give his viewers a little bit of extra content, to satisfy their need for a dose of Justin, before he did go away for a little while to take a well earned break. And to repeatedly thank the subscribers for subscribing. He does seem pretty grateful for that, so why not do his best to thank his viewers as much as he could.
You couldn't deserve it more mate. You inspired me to pick up the guitar 20 years ago and it's wonderful to see you getting the recognition you so rightfully deserve.
Congrats for the 500K!!! As for the FAITH NO MORE poster and all of you typography enthusiasts out there. The font for the logo is Futura Extra Bold and Avant Garde Gothic Demi Bold for the rest of the poster.
Fuck it mate, you deserve a break! We will all be right here when you return; best channel I've subbed to in a long time! I love how humble, informative and amusing you are and always supporting other artists. See you in a couple of weeks - Merry Xmas!
flagging down the lighting designer by name and dazzling at him as if he's the star of the show? what a lovely moment. glad to be of the 500K subjects/subscribers/cultists/new family
No matter how many subscribers you have it’s nice to know your mum and dad will always bring you back down to Earth 😂 Rest, recoup, recover and then rock some more (when you’re ready) 🧡
Underrated sense of humor, intelligence, cultural literacy, politeness, and that is all apart from his substantial musical gifts. JH is a welcome voice on YT and look forward to the retooling next year
@@SailTheOceanthis is a weird comment, as you appear to actually be a Darkness fan from your other comments? Having a bad day bro? Justin is literally a genius, take a chill pill
@@SailTheOcean Well he is not known as a comedian per se, although the Darkness obviously has many funny elements to what they do. A polite response to your acidic comment to my positive comment.
This is one of the greatest episodes, if not the greatest!!!🙌 I've always loved this sort of "behind the scenes" videos and this has so many things to comment that I could write a book!😁 Take a well-deserved break!🥰 lots of love to all the JHRA team and to your beloved ones🥰 🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄
This is so funny. Justin is obviously the type of guy you want to be your lead singer. Passionate, compassionate, skilled, humble, friendly, charming and of course good looking
I'm really grateful that I've stumbled upon your channel and your music. You rock, literally. What a kind und humorous human being you are. Take care and have Merry Christmas!
There is no other artist whose success I route for more than yours. Raw, honest, humble, and never forgetting where you came from. Cheers to a great year ahead!
Loved to see your mom and dad in your videos. It is really amazing your family spend time with you in your gigs. Have a rest and peacefull time this seasons. See you the next year.
Having somehow never heard of the Darkness I randomly stumbled upon your channel while browsing reviews of Nuno Bettencourt’s Rise solo in back in June and six months later I’m singing along to Friday Night at the gig in Newcastle this week. Thanks to RUclips algorithm for one of the highlights of 2023 and to you for the happiness you and the band bring to so many people
Too many people have not yet heard of The Darkness. Hence the years it took to get to a lousy half million. They deserve a few more million. Even The Cars have exponentially more than that and their lead singers are both dead. We must evangelize.
They are really exceptional at bringing joy to people. We can never have enough of that in this world! Kudos to The Darkness for the music and Justin for his channel and extra content!
@@SailTheOcean Nope, most people have heard of The Darkness, I'm guessing you're about 12 years old and still living with your parents - judging by your infantile comments on this thread.
Hi Dave Garcia from KC! I’m your neighbor in Lawrence! Thanks Justin for showing us around. Fun to see the goings on behind the scenes. So cute your parents are there supporting you and the band! I loved this! You should do more of these backstage interviews. 😊 Enjoy your well deserved break! Congrats on 20 years and a half a million subscribers! 😮❤
Always entertaining. Always authentic. Always positive. What a joy to have discovered your channel after just thinking you were part of a really fun band. Enjoy your break, Justin.
A well deserved break. Necessary hustle to make a living considered, it honestly seems to me that you are exceptionally generous with your time and openness to all of us enthusiasts. A Happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours.
I’m in love with his Mum and Dad! They’re amazing! How cool is his Mum!? Cool Mums are the best. 👏💕 Congrats on the 500k subscribers 👏 so, so deserved!
Never ever apologize for taking a break. People are too often made to feel guilty when they take needed breaks and #selfcare. Especially when you're in the spotlight. Please keep promoting how important breaks and self care are. But please stop apologizing! Enjoy your tour and: don't forget to take breaks during!
Merry Christmas Justin! Your mum is a gem and that coat is magnificent. Thank you for all the amazing content this year, it's been most enjoyable to watch and you deserve every last subscriber. Extra Merry Christmas to lovely Jenny as well, we all know she does the real work. 😉❤
Boy, I remember being quite sad when the Darkness broke up back in the mid 2000's. I thought that was it for Justin and the boys, I never could have imagined that you and the boys would be back and giving us more content than ever.
Have a fantastic break Justin. Started watching your channel while I was working in Greece this summer and I`m hooked! Back home in Bulgaria now and it brings a smile to my face when I hear you on the radio. Loved you showing us behind the scenes and introducing us to your mum and dad. Keeping it real.
Sold out shows, great band, great crew,, good health and supportive loving parents & family. Life is certainly sweet. Good on ya Justin, you're a fine chap....
@@jamestaylor341 Yes, they were support and we were too. The Webb Brothers. Justin and Dan personally gave us the opportunity to do it which was awesome. I don't think they knew much about 3IOB. That was more of a 'label thing' as far as I know.
Congratulations on reaching 500,000 subscribers. I really enjoyed Your behind the scenes and all the people it takes to put on Your Show. Nice seeing Your Mom & Dad. Enjoy Your time off with Your family. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Congratulations Justin. Enjoy the break and have a great family Christmas. I never realised tou were so down to earth till I found your RUclips. You dont see many other artists give their lighting designers or crew that much respect and reverence.
Enjoy the well deserved time off Justin & Jenny. You guys appear to be the hardest working bunch in the industry and it shows in this great channel and the epic gigs you perform to your loyal fans. We were at London on 9th and you blew the roof off 💥 Thank you for keeping Rock rolling 🤘🏼
You're a fucking legend. And I'm gratified to see you wearing the flayed skin of Black Shuck himself. You have saved terror-struck inhabitants of the Lowestoft/Bungay/Blytheburgh triangle from a horrible death. Respect. xxx
Thanks for the tour behind the scenes! As a local IATSE member, I appreciate you showing the folks behind the scenes who help the artists make their magic happen. Congratulations on reaching this milestone on RUclips - you deserve it, your channel is wonderful and so are you! Enjoy your break, you deserve that as well. Merry Christmas Justin, thank you for being awesome!
Thanks for all the fun in 2023 JH - you're a heart-warming world treasure. Enjoy your well deserved break with your nearest and dearest, I look forward to more JHRA and to seeing you live in concert in Melbourne in 2024.
Thanks for the behind the scenesy episode! Saw some familiar faces and always a treat to see Mom & Dad Hawkins. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Justin & JMF! Cheers to all of your success! ❄️🎄❄️❤️
I love how you said that 2003 is 10 years ago, I feel like that too. Remember being driven to Glasgow (and back!) by my Mum to see you guys that year. Still one of my favourite gigs ever. Come back to Belladrum fest too!
What a fabulous Mum! We can see where Justin gets his charming personality, fashion sense, good looks, and sense of humor. Dad is great too! It seems like Dan takes after him more. Happy Holidays to the whole Hawkins family.
🪷 Hey man you've made my days a bit brighter at times for a while now. I wish you and those you care about a very happy Christmas and smashing New year! 🤘
So incredibly proud of you and everything you have worked so hard to accomplish. You deserve it and I am glad you are taking a break. Always, take care of yourself and your mental and physical health. You are worth it and it's only when you take care of yourself that you can be there for others. Advice I need to learn to take myself. ❤️🥰😍
❤ Thank you for this beautiful video, for sharing with us your parents (they are lovely), your mum is the coolest!, and for driving us through the back stage. I hope you and Jenny have a nice time in your deserved break, of course it's necessary and everybody deserve it. I glad to know about your success with The Darkness and Justin Hawkins Rides Again. We will wait here for your return in the next year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤🎉
Enjoy a Wonderful fun filled Christmas season with all your dearest folk around you. Thank you for your JHRA content this year and the Outstanding London show at the Roundhouse. Enjoy the down time and I can’t wait to see what you and Jenny have in store for 2024 🎉 ❤🫶❤
Love the chemistry you have with everyone! Sounds like great fun behind the scenes! Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year? Well deserved time off, Merry Christmas!
Best to you Justin and all the Hawkins family! Happy Holidays Jenny May Finn thanks for a great year of wonderfully edited videos and hilarious close up. Great video to end the year! Big hugs from Florida 🥰
Merry Christmas, Justin. Congrats on the Half-Million subscribers! You deserve it! BTW, it warms my heart watching you with your family and friends. I’m guessing it would be nice knowing you in person. Enjoy your holidays! 😁
Just saw the Darkness at Rock city, and it was the most fun I've had a gig in quite some time! Thank you, especially for telling people go put their phones away - that made it so much better. Can't believe we didn't get sparklers on Get your hands off of my woman...
I like the one take video style, more please! Seems like I'm in the room with you. Congrats on the 500K subs! Your coat is like a giant Deadcat for your mic.
Hi to your mom and dad from the Duncan family in the U.S.! So adorable that she wanted to hear Im Holding My Own, thats my sons favorite song as well!!
congratulations on the numbers Justin. Very much deserved, your channel is fantastic. Enjoy the break and Christmas festivities. Merry Christmas everyone :)
Well deserved break. I don't know how you were able to continue these podcasts during your awesome US tour (I was front row at your killer show in Tempe, Arizona). Definitely one of the hardest working and coolest blokes in music. Merry Christmas/Happy New Year and looking forward to new content in 2024.
Congrats! Wish I could subscribe twice. Would like to note. I think more than 500k you got there just by adding value to our time on RUclips. No gimicks. Not that you were at the right place at the right time. Nothing helped you except being just good at it. Chill
Justin, my darling, you are absolutely brilliant and will truly surpass us all one day! I don’t say this enough, but thank you immensely for being such a positive influence in my life and for everything you’ve done for me. You truly bring light and joy to me in my dark places. Have a lovely Christmas and I can’t wait to see what next year has to hold for The Darkness and JHRA! Sending immense love! ❤
🎸👏Good for you Justin...Take as long as you need, you will never loose your luster; there is so much more to Rock than the song. Thank you for the truth behind it...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎸
Congrats on the half a million which already has gone up by another 3k!! Love the exchange with Justin's mum and dad at the end. Could feel the love pouring out of the screen. Gutted I could not make a show this year, so maybe ext time. Merry Christmas Justin, the boys in the Darkness and also Jenny May Finn and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody...
Congrats Juzzo.Love you and my go to channel every lunchtime and beyond.Nice to see backstage and meet the family.Us aussies have always had an affinity with lovely pommy people ever since you dumped us here to start our colony.Have a nice break and cant wait to have you back on board in the new year.Can also not wait to see you and the boys in little old Adelaide then.Cheers.
What a lovely bloke ... Talent to die for but he stll has feet firmly on the ground.. knows everyone's name because he genuinely is interested in them.. have a well deserved xmas break Mr H.
Enjoy your rest. We'll still be here next year waiting for the next instalme. And as for the UAE, what a great place. It holds a special memory for me as I saw Joe Strummer there in 1999 there and was lucky enough to go backstage afterwards, no paying for meet and greet with Joe, and stay chatting him until gone 2am. What a gent😊
I was at the UEA show last week. You were all fantastic! Thanks for showing us behind the scenes. I photograph gigs, there's a lot that goes on that the public don't get to see before shows (and after!) This is a great insight
Well done on the 500K and thank you for an awesome time at the Barrowlands last night. Bad Nerves rocked too. Have a well deserved rest. Looking forward to JHRA live next year. ❤🎉
Thank you all for being here with me! 500k is mind-blowing and I feel ever so grateful. I'll be back in January and I hope you will be too - if you want to come see me live as you know you can get tickets here: tinyurl.com/kneukve2 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Xxx

Enjoy the break. After all the touring and YT vids, you must be shattered (plus it will give me a chance to catch up on your videos - 25 to go 😂)
Love the crazy coat 🤒 Justin
Congratulations 🎉

@@grahamdrummond2412 But I get to discover every song from every album, in order, for the first time. Heaven!😍

Thank you, this was the important fact we needed

See you in a couple of weeks - Merry Xmas!

Justin, only you could say goodbye and then give us a tour backstage for 12 more minutes. Legend. That's why we love ya - enjoy your time off!
This is one of the greatest episodes, if not the greatest!!!🙌 I've always loved this sort of "behind the scenes" videos and this has so many things to comment that I could write a book!😁

Catch you on the flip-side JusHawk and Jenny Mae. Thanks for everything you do for us. 🤘
You have a lovely family, Justin. We definitely need interviews with your mum and dad in the future, they’re brilliant!
A rock band that hit the scene with a bang, and is not a smoldering crater 20years later is indeed a grand accomplishment.

Reminds of David Brent showing people round the office. “This is the lighting team, they’re all mental. Not literally obviously. That wouldn’t work”
A well deserved break. Necessary hustle to make a living considered, it honestly seems to me that you are exceptionally generous with your time and openness to all of us enthusiasts. A Happy Christmas and New Year to you and yours.

Justin’s mum is how I expect Sia’s mum would look.
Wonderful authentic and slightly uncomfortable behind the scenes.
And vaping. Now we know how Justin started smoking.
Justin, stick with the patch or nicorette. I can feel the vape damage in my throat and lungs.
Love the LCR. My first gig, age 15, Motörhead, February 1989.
🎸👏Good for you Justin...Take as long as you need, you will never loose your luster; there is so much more to Rock than the song. Thank you for the truth behind it...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎸
Congrats on the half a million which already has gone up by another 3k!! Love the exchange with Justin's mum and dad at the end. Could feel the love pouring out of the screen. Gutted I could not make a show this year, so maybe ext time. Merry Christmas Justin, the boys in the Darkness and also Jenny May Finn and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody...
Now on the eve of Christmas I listen to Christmas Time and Thank God It's Christmas every day ♥️🎄❄️🎄

Jo's toned arms are enviable. I really enjoyed this vid, very interesting! Happy Christmas!!

Happy Christmas. What a fun look at your family and behind the scenes! I hope you and Jenny May enjoy your well deserved vacations!
So happy for you taking time. Of course we’ll all miss you!
I'm just so happy that your amazing personality is being appreciated by the general public. Congrats on half a million!
such a charming and charismatic artist, we'll be here no matter how long you take a break!
No apologies necessary! Thanks for the ‘Behind the scenes’ footage. And seeing the family too no less! Brilliant!
Enjoy your rest. We'll still be here next year waiting for the next instalme. And as for the UAE, what a great place. It holds a special memory for me as I saw Joe Strummer there in 1999 there and was lucky enough to go backstage afterwards, no paying for meet and greet with Joe, and stay chatting him until gone 2am. What a gent😊
I was at the UEA show last week. You were all fantastic!
Thanks for showing us behind the scenes. I photograph gigs, there's a lot that goes on that the public don't get to see before shows (and after!)
This is a great insight
Nobody's going to fault you for taking a break, Justin. You've inspired and entertained us for years already!
Have a Merry Christmas, my man!
Well done on the 500K and thank you for an awesome time at the Barrowlands last night. Bad Nerves rocked too. Have a well deserved rest. Looking forward to JHRA live next year. ❤🎉
