    How awesome is that, the artist comes forward and shows how it's done, and even says he's checked a few RUclips clips and they're wrong. This is just amazing.

    The Darkness carries on in the finest tradition of British Hard Rock, if the record companies had any balls or brains- they would sign more bands that play in this style- cause there is a buying market out there-world wide.

    I Love Justin. But Dan is the one I watch more because his sound is hypnotic. Old enough that I found Led Zep as a kid, so I get them. Love that sound. How that much sound is coming out of one instrument is just insane. I saud in Justin's podcast channel that The Darkness is Britain writ large on the World post covid. They lift our spirits, make us fall in love with rocknroll all over again. They could do an Almost Famous style road movie and we would be transfixed. It's just cool watching them do their thing. Justin is Justin and we love him. But I'm a Dan fan, he's surreal. I'm imagining Bob Scott, Lemmy and Jimi rockin out up there to his work. Oops forgot Thin Lizzy. May be even Bowie too. Great work. More.
