They are slags Stevie. Gifted singer/guitarist but up his own arse, but doing stuff that Van Halen and Motley Crue were doing 20 years ago. They have hit a market for fans that missed out on Dave Lee Roth etc first time round.
Def Leppard and other aging British Heavy Rock bands should move aside for The Darkness, but Im not impressed by their 'originality'

They've modelled themselves on 'Spinal Tap', obviously!

few months back they said "kiss and poison both over-iced the cake, they went too far" ....oo the irony...

their riffs are largely acdc and a lot of the singing is not even proper singing hence when me and a friend heard them about a year ago we were pissing ourselves with laughter....

also their whole thing about bringing back the fun like the 70s...well they dont seem to realise that old bands were fun...not "funny".....its all pretty amusing but ud have to be extremely stupid to believe they are popular because of songwriting quality and not the novelty/humour/gimmick aspect which they seem to be playing up to.....
fuck them i am bored of it already :)

yeh they prob were but not "funny" funny like the darkness who realistically are undeniably spinal tap to the tee whether they accept it or believe it or not is irrelevant.....the fact they are like 26,26,28 and 32 in itself is almost spinal tap lol ....i was hoping we had got away with 2003 without a darkness thread....u ruined it stevie , this ones gonna go on and onnnn....:P
