      Hi Justin ever thought off doing a segment on Stone the Crows they were signed by Led Zeppelin manager are rock and roll soul band from Glasgow from sixties lost there guitarist when he was young also something on Sensational Alex Harvey band would be good Leslie Harvey his brother died was in Stone the Crows the bass player was in Robin Tower band really grungy voice

      Hi Justin . I cannot stand your band or your music. Cliche rock ,a parody whatever. Glam rock is and always will be a pile of shite. Long hair on any male over 30 looks dodgy and basically a knob. Bon Jovi ,Vince Neil etc are Harley riding idiots. Not real.Fake.
      Anyway back to positive . I love your UA-cam vids . You seem like a lovely bloke . Really enjoying your vids. Fantastic.

    Justin Hawkins’ cameo is an undercelebrated gem and a bargain at many times the price. My wife is a enthusiastic Darkness/Justin fan, so when I saw he had a Cameo, I knew that, despite the fact I’d gone years without buying her any gifts, I was ready to break the streak and order a custom JH video for Valentines Day. He replied quickly with an amazing video for her, personalized, and with song. I have been reaping the rewards of that gift for several months.
    Thanks Justin Hawkins for the relationship revitalization.

    Thank you for this! I'm so happy when Vince gets credit where credit is due. In his prime, his vocals are so unique, so special. I've seen Nikki Sixx talk about Vince's special voice, and how he wrote songs to highlight it. He's legendary. I lived in LA in the 2nd half of the 80s, it was incredible. All those guys were out at clubs, so fun to see them in person. 'Hair metal' bands get put down, but those bands had incredible musicians and vocalists, even if you didn't like their music (I loved it, lol). Vince's voice always stood out, and Motley Crue were the OG of that era. He's been through a lot, losing his daughter, I feel bad for him.

    What makes Justin's critical videos so worthwhile is that he openly acknowledges (and talks extensively about) his own rock 'n roll missteps of years past. It isn't just a cheap diss or typical social media smirk behind his commentary, but a genuine understanding of what artists/writers/performers can go through in simply plying their trade. And, above all, he still finds something to champion in what, to outsiders, can often appear to be a train wreck performance. He always appears legitimately generous and compassionate in his remarks.

    I'd like to think I have a decent amount of empathy for aging singers who are still going in the arena and giving it everything they've got. But, Vince...I feel he's an exception. I give you credit for finding the improvement with his comeback, Justin. But to me, he's always seemed pretty lazy with his voice and technnique. Though I respect your take of not giving a fuck being what proper rock n roll is all about, I still want a good singer as much as a good frontman. It's just not enough for me to sell the song to the crowd w/ your stage presence. My ears are what moves me more than my eyes. Which is why I respect you and your craft- you do both, with command and control. And you're just as unpredictable and in the moment. So there we are.

    2 years ago, my girlfriend went on cameo and had a choice between You(Justin) and Satchel ( from Steel Panther) for my Father’s Day gift. She didn’t understand just how much I love The Darkmess, so she picked Satchel. He was hilarious and It was great, but I was left wanting. She told me “ I was gonna pick the guy with the nipple rings, but I wasn’t sure if you’d like it” . In order to keep our relationship intact, I didn’t show my sadness. So, hopefully, she’ll get around to getting a Father’s Day cameo message from The “nipple ring guy” this year. If she asks for a sample of “ Hot Leg “whichever way…” , you’ll know that’s for me.

    Most people will go to see him and support him because he was fundamental in shaping their young adult life.
    He was a part of their experience. His talent is fading. It is what it is. People go to see the stones too and you can’t imagine they are at their peak of creative self expression or technical ability. I don’t have a problem with legends getting on the stage and making their way through even with a little help or aid. Plus Vince from what I understand was more of a charismatic frontman and leader then he was primarily a singer with an undeniable raw talent.

    If you want to listen to your fav band at complete perfection then go enjoy their audio recordings. Concerts are meant to watch said band have a kickass great time, interact with the audience and perhaps partake in some light refreshments being passed around. I spent all my teen years in the 80's and have been to countless rock concerts. Just the mere fact that I don't remember a good part of this decade proves my point. Don't go to a concert expecting perfection...that's the entire point! No 2 shows will ever be the same, unexpected things (😉) will always happen. Knowing that, go and have a great time, I still do!! 🤘from Canada.

    Best or worst thing as you like it: Vince does in general not remember the Lyrics and just singing random bull...coming up his mind the moment he is in need. Other quality cringeworthy stuff can be found from his first concert after the covid restrictions loosened, he read from paper on the stage floor and still not getting the words right beside untrained and unprepared vocal chords and body. When he left the stage after 'Girls' his vocals from the taped record just continued. Impression was pretty much: Just got up the sofa and had to do the minimal to justify the paycheck.

I want to remember them as a bad ass band not a group of guys that keep going way past their prime just to steal money from people who seem to care about their music more than they do.
