I just looked around, and If I found the right band, they fromed in the late 90's. I'm glad to see someone is putting the guitar back in Rock. What the &%#@ ever happened to the solo anyway?

People making the easy way into music buy saying 'ah we forgot the solo' on relase date Undecided

Normally i dont agree with songs without guitar/bass solos unless they realy are good.
As for The Darkness, They cool. Like the music, wouldnt buy the album.

Musicians these days. Thats why I'm learning the guitar, so I can put the solo, some heavy riffs, and decent lyrics back in Rock and Roll! At least in Metal that is.

The Darkness are AMAZING!

They are actually a 2003 band and they play proper Rock not this new metal rubbish, which by the way always seems to use Arabic chord progression ??? I saw them at Reading music festival ( the only band I liked Roll Eyes

)

They are very skilled at playing the instruments and the music harks back to the bloody brilliant days of AC/DC (NOW THEY ARE THE BEST EVER Cheesy

)

I put one of their songs to a video of an f-16 strutting its stuff and it fits perfectly to it. I think I'll upload it to show you how great they are.

Great Riffs, Rockin Guitar and a singer thats absolutely insane. Thats the secret to a good band.

Seen them play live on Stuart Cable's (Stereophonics drummer) TV show Cable TV. Fair play they sucked live but I kinda like their new song

The Darkness formed in 2001 I think....

I think they are great, don't take theselves too seriously (hence the wild clothes), and belt out some cracking riffs.

I have their album, it gets played very, very loud. Grin

Rock on!
