    I love their attitude as I really (personally) don't like new music and I've loved the Darkness since I was a kid. So now they've come back and they don't care what others think and they are just rocking their socks off I love it. This is new music for me and it's something to look forward too. As i said I don't like new music so I get excited now when they bring a new album out. Keep rocking guys and keep up your amazing work 💖

    Justin Hawkings: "I thought it wouldn't be fair to remark on it."
    "I call it the rise of the arseclowns."
    He then goes onto make a wise comment about everything outside of London being 'not so good'. Then a comment about the pound not buying a brick.
    I must be in the darkness on this one. He seems as clueless as anyone on what this all means. GJ.

      I said no offense, why the hostility? Not retarded, just not a teenage girl from the time. Justin is a superior vocalist compared to axel. Did gnr write live and let die? Of course not. Maybe do some research? Have a great day.
