    Let's just take the time to say - 19 years since "I believe in a thing called love" blessed my ears.
    I was 15. My parents saved up enough to buy me my first set of wheels. A 1988 50cc Yamaha razz. I desperately wanted permission to land but never had the money. One night, the music T.V channel had competition- tell us the name of The Darkness' new album and you'll win it. I phoned in quicker than you'd phone the emergency services. Next week, the CD arrived. I didn't have discman but I did have an old Teac Super bass cassette Walkman. I stuffed one of mums old church cassettes with paper (if you know, you know) and dubbed my new CD to tape.
    I spent the entire summer in NZ cruizing aimlessly around my little town with permission to land cranking non-stop. Only stopping to flip the tape.

      Well, and Justin is only playing a Gibson Dove so it can’t sound as good as the Guild E20 Marley from Guitar Center. Justin just doesn’t get it. It’s not about what you play, it’s about what gear you play on. That’s what makes the difference between a musician and a poser.

      It's not about playing for the cat.
      The cat is effectively showing utter contempt & disdain for it's pianist owner's years of hard work & struggling to master the instrument.

    Hello Justin. I have commented before. We met many years ago when my band and the Darkness paths crossed on a tour. (I believe we were in LA when we met) By the way, huge fan of the Darkness. In any event, I just wanted to say that it is ALWAYS a pleasure to hear your tongue and cheek takes on anything you review. I am consistently taken by how honest and humble you are when the situation calls for it. I am exttremely lucky enough to have met many of my heroes, as I am certain you have as well...and it's incredibly refreshing how honest and approachable you yourself are. You truly are a good one. Thanks for taking the time to keep this channel going, I never miss an episode...james

    Understated to amazing effect.
    Then you get the occasional 'brilliant' that is just the best.
    How in TF do you British chaps keep a straight face when you do this type of stuff.

      P.S. I used to be a well known radio DJ with very high ratings in the Arbitron book. I’ve also done the “DJ for hire” gig doing parties, etc. Being a DJ does not make you a musician by any stretch of the imagination. Two different worlds entirely.
