Justin hawkins is one of the most underrated front Man of our generration 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My dad was at the concert and he HATED the Darkness when you were on the radio and OH MY GOD you convinced him otherwise . Superstar
Your dad was right the darkness were terrible on the radio
I remember someone in the livestream chat wondering who the glamorous pink cowboy tearing it up with Brian Johnson was. Never heard a better description of this amazing man.
Must admit some of the trolls in the chat were disheartening. But I loved the support, respect and musical history many commentators clapped back with. Was the quickest 6hrs of my life.
Justin is a rock star, yet humble, self effacing, and genuine. Loved that tribute show. Great job.
It was a concert that you never wanted to have to do, but you performed impeccably. When I saw you come out on stage I was even nervous! I've never understood it when people declare that they are proud of a celebrity, but I really felt it on Saturday and I really wanted you to nail it. I think I even punched the air when you finished Under Pressure. You were awesome, but then again you always have been.
What a lovely comment!
Totally felt it too. Great sentiment💙
Well stated, Nickoletta! 👍
I understand
It's one of those things where you hope that day never comes, but it did, so the only thing left is to give it absolutely everything you've got.
You were amazing at the tribute, Justin. A real front man i didnt see since a while. Fred and Taylor would be so proud of you and Luke
Who is Luke?
@@ryankibler7973 Luke Spiller from the Struts. Another Freddie's "son"😉
*haven't seen for a while
@@mrbig1022 my bed... It's already too much you understood what i meant. Thanks!🤘
*my bad... jesus... i am terrible!
It was a strange feeling, seeing Justin on stage at the tribute concert. Having watched the videos for a while now, I felt as though I was watching a mate up on stage. And I was so proud as you did a fantastic job!!
As a Geordie, that was the single worst attempt at our accent I’ve ever heard. Love you work, sir. Great show.
I was surprised at how much air time Justin got at the tribute. That was absolutely insane. He nailed EVERY song he was the frontman for...and I've ALWAYS wanted to see Justin sing a Queen song. Just incredible. The Van Halen stuff blew my flipping mind.
I think Dave Grohl was the only person on stage more than Justin. I can imagine why he is still feeling overwhelmed by the experience.
Because if you think about it he was the only person to pull it off....from Freddie to ROTH ... NOBODY COULD HAVE CAME CLOSE
Yes to quote Eric Clapton..
" you didn't tell me he was THAT fucking good"
@@adamwarlock5286 What's the context on that quote?
@@sirlawrence9161 I believe that was his response to hearing Hendrix the first time.
The Taylor Hawkins Tribute was a deeply needed rock experience. I was brought to tears many times - it was an emotional roller coaster ride with the best rockers - ever.
Am I the only person who just wants to give Justin a big hug now?
Myself and my family were at the concert and it was the most unbelievable day, I’m still not sure I am fully recovered so I can’t imagine how you feel. Everyone involved was just incredible and the love and emotion in that place was unlike anything I’ve experienced.
Justin you were amazing, you bring so much joy and enthusiasm to everything and I’m extraordinarily grateful to have seen you perform again, the first time was supporting Robbie Williams at Knebworth, in that heat and that catsuit! My kids love you as much as we do, parenting done right I guess😆
Us and everyone around us was blown away by your multiple performances throughout and you could tell how much the Foos and other bands loved performing with you. Really impressive.
Tom, exactly! Justin was the perfect person to perform w/ the three bands that he did. He looked like he was having as much fun as one is allowed at a somber event and he brought that to the stage w/ him each time. How could the bands not love him? Really impressive, indeed, costume changes and all! Blown away, a perfect summation, Tom, thank-you! (though NOT blown away surprised, blown away impressed).
That backstage most have been CHAOTIC. Watched the whole show and couldn't have imagined such a large, spontaneous event go so smoothly. Nice job!
That’s a good observation. It had to have some sort of controlled chaos going on. Sooooo damn much going on.
Must*
I was front row on the barrier, right in front of the stage at Wembley. The whole experience was insane. Justin, you was fantastic and I can’t thank you enough for your part in one of the best days of my life.
I'm incredibly envious. Congrats on being there for what will always be a part of rock history.
It is a family. The world needs more things like this. We all love you too, Justin.
Man...I watched that entire show live. It was so amazing and brought me back to the glory days of MTV. I got VERY emotional at times. As an older gent and a hack musician...taking in all of that talent was pure sensory overload. What a legendary show! Thank you so very much.
I remember seeing you on MTV when I was a kid and wanting a sparkley jumpsuit. My mom made me one and I went as you on that Halloween. I remember this elderly couple telling me Elvis didn’t have long hair. I said thank you for the candy and told my mom they just didn’t get it lol. Good times as a kid.
Brilliant💙😂
@Tera, if Justin does read this , you will have made him feel old! Happy likely, but old😆😉
Tera Thats awesome and now just from seeing your beautiful profile picture I want to dress up as YOU for Halloween!! 💕
You don’t have to explain yourself Justin. You and Brian both looked like you were having an amazing time 😊
Taylor must have been looking down from heaven to make that show run so smooth . It says a lot about the man for so many people to show up in support .
yeah .. I also think like you . just fun !!
When the Queen medley started, I looked over at my wife and said "Justin Hawkins is right fucking there!!! What are they doing!!!!" So glad you came up on the very next song. I always wished you would have had the chance to front Queen, at least for one tour, at some point. You do so much justice to those tunes. Anyways, it is amazing that we got to see you featured so prominently during this tribute!!!! Thank you for adding that little bit of extra for Taylor!
Certainly prefer Jussie over Adam Lambert!
What they were doing was featuring Luke Spiller who has performed Queen many times with The Foo Fighters. And he was brilliant.
@@hereforthestruts3987 Eh, I don't know who he is, but I didn't dig his part at all. Didn't get the feels from it. Rest were great, though.
@@mattmartinek84 Luke Spiller was amazing! The best out of three of them.
@@lararoostalu9318 Ha! You are nuts! Must be a big fan of his.
Justin, you got a shout out from Rick Beato on his "WVH shreds" video. So my question is - will you please watch it and then do the video with him - as hearing you two talk to each other about music would create ripples in space and time! Thanks Justin
Rick Beato got an interview with Maynard! I’m sure he could get Justin if he wanted the guy knows everyone haha
Yes I saw it the day he released the video and left a comment under his video, I don't think anyone saw it though! Cheers Ben!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain Oh we saw it
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain If he hasn't been in touch already he will - there's enough crossover between your channels that this MUST. HAPPEN.
@@affinity9769 I hope he doesn't have to interview Yngwie. Talking about one scale, Paganini and his ego. Ugh
Seeing you and Gaz Coombes getting put on a stage with so many legends seemed fitting for both of you. I've loved you both for years and rate you both as UKs finest.
You were awesome Justin. Much respect.
You done VH songs justice and Wolfie killed it. Never thought I'd hear those songs again so close to how EVH played them. The spirit of classic VH was there.
You have given a 52 year old man, full of middle age, a perfect evening oasis. Thank you. Loved The Darkness from the start. This channel is just as good. Cheers.
Nothing can go wrong with so much love and talent all in one place
You killed hot for teacher mate was buzzing when you came on during back in black the whole night was amazing could feel the energy just watching it on TV
You and Wolfie really killed it ! My favorite performance ! You and Brian were another highlight !
Outside of emotions regarding Taylor, what made me emotional during the show the most was thinking about how at some point in time, your daughter will realize just how extra freaking cool her dad is, beyond what she already thought. And that she will be able to see this footage for the rest of her life feeling proud! :-)
Sadly, she’ll only realize how cool he is after he’s gone. All Dads are total dorks until they aren’t around to tease anymore, that’s when it sinks in how cool they were.
@@kernelpickle Speak for yourself. I always thought my dad was the coolest dude I've ever known.
@@kernelpickle Jesus Christ
@@kernelpickle : Strongly disagree, Kernelpickle. If Justin's daughter is a Daddy's girl like I was, Dad can do NO wrong ever. Even if she's not, I'm sure if she hasn't realized it yet, she will realize that her Dad is very very cool and long before he's finished his journey of life.
@540マンモス My Dad was definitely a dork, and was one of those guys back in the day that looked like he was an extra in Revenge of the Nerds. That said, I've also heard rock stars like Dave Grohl and other heroes of mine talk about their kids in interviews, and they've been asked what their kids think of their legendary Dad's and it's always "my kids think I'm a total dork and are embarrassed." There was a video of the RHCP playing a show in Halloween costumes at one of their kid's Elementary School a few years back, and apparently the kid was super embarrassed that their Dad showed up at their school with all his friends, especially because the teachers were all Millennials that were losing their minds. On the flip-side a Phil Collins, a guy my nerdy ass Dad loved in his heyday, married a much younger woman and their young son was in the junior high band, and the band director had the kids playing some of his songs and they had him come on stage to sing for the parents at their concert--the only one who looked embarrassed was Phil, and all the kids thought it was great, so figure that one out. Stuff everyone I grew up with thought was lame became cool in an ironic (but kinda not really) sort of way, and the stuff that was always cool has become lame and embarrassing to much younger kids growing up today.
So, not throwing shade I'm just making an observation and it doesn't mean anyone loves their Dad any less, but it's rare for kids to think their Dad's are cool their entire life. There's that period when they're younger, and then their school aged years when parents are lame, and then sometime during or after college it flips back around again. If you can't recall going through phases, I'd bet you just forgot.
You and Rufus gave the best tribute ever to the unforgettable Taylor Hawkins! I love you both a lot! 🙏🖤🙏🖤 Thank you for the emotional performances you did!🥺😘
YES, I will add to the praise on your performance of "On Fire", So much energy and spot on with vocal accoutrement that song needs!
OMG! You and Wolfgang just blew me away. I would love to see some kind of collaboration in the future, also can I say BRIAN MAY! To be in the same room with such greatness would be overwhelming and a dream for me. Bless you Taylor Hawkins.
My biggest question is, why do we have to wait for someone so talented to pass away to have one of these amazing concerts of the best musicians and rock legends to come together and play a huge concert like the Taylor Hawkins tribute? We need more of these.
A million reasons.
Who (among the living) do you propose for the next one? Take Sir Paul, for example, or Bruce Springsteen - you probably couldn't pick many examples of more beloved musicians who are currently still alive (personal music tastes aside). Would you really expect rock royalty to turn up en masse for some random 'we love you' show? These crossovers happen all the time, but you'll never hit something on this scale without that deep, burning hurt that comes from a life gone too soon.
@@theritchie2173 but that's my point, why wait until someone passes? If Dave can get people to come together and perform a huge rock legend tribute, can we not have just a concert every year for a charity of say lost music legends of the past not before they die that creates a need for one. Look at the size of the crowd? Then we have the 2nd concert in America coming up with different musicians, it's awesome, but at what expense? Death?
@@AdamForeman Because that special feeling that you get when people unite under one cause would become stale, curated, and not so special, that's why.
@@FlockofSmeagles well let's hope tons more die so that these legends understand that life is precious and short so that they might consider it before it's too late. Shame nobody thought good enough to have one for David Bowie.....
That Hot For Teacher might've been the most joyous moment of the night. Justin, and everyone else did *incredible* I loved every second.
I frankly cried watching the highlights. I really loved Taylor Hawkins drumming and he seems so genuine. It also brought to mind the loss of Eddie Van Halen , Freddie Mercury, and Bon Scott. In my mind they all live through the music.
Yes especially when Brian May was out there on his own and mentioned it was 30 years this year that he was stood in the same place doing the same thing for Freddie.
Hawkins was my favorite drummer; not because of his skill, but because of the pure joy gleaming on his face when he played. I'm truly going to miss that smile.
@@wjpreslar I always thought the way he grinded his teeth was lame
@@wjpreslar , For pure joy in a drummer, I like Arejay Hale (Halestorm). He has so much fun, and it’s infectious. If you don’t like Halestorm, mute the video, and just watch him. I think there are videos of Arejay’s solos on UA-cam.
Your rendition of On Fire with Wolfgang was absolutely insane. You god damn nailed that!
He did but JFC that's a horrible song.
Leading up to that, we had no idea just how much you would be doing. You did a good amount of work up there, and did Taylor justice man.
From a Foo fan of 23 yrs, I want to thank you for helping us all sing and dance and laugh and cry together.
Someone pointed out something Dave has always said about 'when you sing a song to a stadium, 80k people sing it back for 80k different reasons' that day everyone sang it for the same reason, and it was beautiful.' :-)
I wish celebrations like these should be done when people like Taylor are still alive. Celebrate what we have as well as what we lose. It was the best 6 hours of music ever for me. Thank you
I was never a huge fan of the Foos, but I loved how Hawkins played. The most joyous and genuinely moving thing on the night for me was his son getting up to play My Hero. I had tears in my eyes. Shane even moves like his Dad behind the kit. A chip off the ole block. More power to him!
Steel Panther Ralph shout out! Didn't expect that. Yes...He was in the Atomic Punks for years with Russ Parrish (Satchel).
One of the things I loved about the event was that it was real rock and roll. No taped music, no lip synching, just real people making music. It wasn't perfect and that made it real.
Frankly having witnessed your greatness, the tribute looked like another day at the office. On Fire was the perfect choice on so many levels. You absolutely nailed it.
The overall show was amazing! You were awesome! Wolfgang VH was face-melting!
Wolfie crushed it! So great!🤘🏻and Justin's no slouch either
With full honesty, that was the best vocal cover of Under Pressure I've ever heard. For covering a song from the greatest singer in history, you did pretty damn good. You should be proud.
Oh cool! Thanks for responding Justin! Sorry didn't realize how long my comment was haha. Appreciate the advice!
You were literally my favorite part of the whole show!!! Loved it, legendary performance sir.
Can you, Wolfgang , Grohl, Freese and that Olivia Newton John drum kit please be the new supergroup?!?! The Olivia Newton John kit is non negotiable. 😘
Oh it was brilliant Justin! We loved the whole thing from start to finish in our house. I was buzzing when I saw you on stage with Queen knowing how much you admire them. Fantastic. An emotional day. X
Have to be honest, I'd never heard of you before the Tribute concert but you did so awesome I'm now a big fan. Now I have to find some Darkness music!
Start with the album Permission to Land
Welcome to some amazing music!!
Justin, you did an amazing job! Glad that people are discovering how great you and The Darkness are. I was really blown away by Wolfgang Van Halen - how he effortlessly blazed through his Dad's solos and guitar, sounding just like his Pop. I'll now be looking to see him on tour.
I saw Wolf last year. I’m planning to go to every Mammoth WVH show nearby, now. He’s a funny front man, and an excellent musician/vocalist. He Grohled that album (wrote, played, produced, sang, etc., then hired a touring band). He’s a “must see”. Be prepared to smile and laugh and enjoy his music.
You killed Van Halen. So much swagger when you asked the crowd I wonder what the teachers gonna look like this year. And it was a fitting way to do it, a faithful recreation. Sung every line and Wolf got it perfect.....🤘🎸
*Van Halen died from cancer
Justin was always way bigger and more than the darkness. This gig did justice to his seasoned talent and experience. Nice one Justin, you made us all proud.
One of the best shows the world has witnessed Justin was exactly what that stage needed, still have goosebumps!
You did great. You've earned that experience through all the years of genuine hard work, talent, and most of all you being you trying to be the best person you can be. I respect you for that!
You were absolute magic throughout the entire show, Justin. Nailed the Van Halen, AC/DC and Queen songs you sang. Fucking brilliant throughout, during an historic gig that had a stupendous amount of absolute first rate moments. And I am not even a fan of The Darkness (although that may now change ..also been a keen subscriber since you started this channel) or the Foo Fighters. (Went mainly for Rush and the odd chance McCartney might show up....).
Immense.
Awesome job, great tribute, it's got to be hard to perform at peak and be grounded in humility and remembrance.
And how great was it that McCartney got it done? I had tickets to see him maybe 12 years ago, had to choose between that and a work trip to Brazil (hey, Copacabana). I've been wary of trying again ever since - I felt at the time it was a 'last chance' but damn he still has those (slightly modified) pipes. Which seems physically impossible, but long may it continue.
@@theritchie2173 I understand you. But although his voice may have aged significantly in the past 12 years, you should still go and see him live. There is so much magic emitted in those 2 and a half hours that he performs. You'll only regret it if you don't.
@@1985indeed , Didn’t Sir Paul retire?
@@SuziQ. Nope.
All us subscribers were so excited to see our dude up there on stage! So unexpected. Loved it!
I am in shock that you did not use in ear monitors for the show and sounded like that! Super impressed 💖
When you lot played hot for teacher, I was hypnotised. Well done Justin you absolutely smashed every song.
It was wonderful seeing so many of the people that were dear to Taylor at the concert put on a hell of a show. I can see the Foo Fighters keep on keeping on after seeing this which would do Taylor proud. Keep on playing, man!
3 months ago, I had no idea who you were. I stumbled upon you here and a friend (knowing my musical taste) almost smacked me when I said I never had listened to The Darkness. Still a little shocked myself. Big respect man. Thankyou for all of it
What an honor having Brian ask you to join him on Back in Black. Brian is so ready to share the limelight, no rock star ego. As Dave said, "if Brian asks you to join him, you f**king do it!" The whole world showed their appreciation for Taylor. He was a lot like Brian, ready to elevate other musicians. I enjoyed the show, it was very emotional.
That was such an amazing show and you killed it! Everyone was great!
I had a feeling that you were going to do another video about this situation! This was an incredible concert Justin. This is on par with some iconic concerts of the past
Thank you Justin . Its been a really rough few years for all of us . all of you did such a awesome job with the Taylor Tribute . I cryed for a few days going back and watching in . im 59 and i was at the edge with this thing . i wasnt sure at times i was going to make it . So far I did . watching the concert was soooooo fun your all amazing . Thank you and rock on
It was beautiful - one of those shows that we will never forget. Wonderful performances, Justin. Thank you!
Justin you were absolutely incredible! just wow. I loved all your performances from the tribute! you did Taylor proud!
Hi Justin, I saw the livestream and your performance was amazing. A perfect tribute to Taylor and his legacy. He would be so proud of you Justin ❤️
you smashed it on 'Under Pressure'!!! sounded so good on the live telecast 🤘
Amazing video as always Justin. Thank you for all the vids and you were incredible on Sat
Great job at the show! So cool that you can live those childhood fantasies and be a meaningful part of history. Congratulations!
Justin, you NAILED IT! The whole thing was great but you killed it for real! Great stuff. Looked and sounded amazing on the stream. Must have been amazing to be a part of.
It was thrilling to see you involved in the tribute. Excellent job, and great vibes.✨
Congrats Justin, was super excited when I saw you were involved!
You did great and made everyone proud, I hope you manage to get some rest and emotionally recover from what I imagine was an extremely stressful time. 💜
Everyone did an amazing job!
I was so ecstatic for everyone there, I can't imagine a single one of yall not turning around and freaking out because another amazing musician was standing right next to you. It was so beautiful and fun.
I cried when Shane took the stage.
Bless all of yall and I hope everyone there and everyone who has suffered such loss takes the lessons life brings seriously.
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
You did an amazing job at the tribute concert! I was so glad to see you participate in more than just one little bit. I was hoping to hear you speak about your experience there and you came through for me on this episode. Loved seeing you having fun. We love you, sir!
Love your channel. What a joy to see you up on the stage with all the greats. Dreams come true.
Justin, I discovered you on YT and have been watching your videos on a regular basis. As my free time is precious, I am very selective on how I spend it. Your heartfelt comments, intelligence and humility makes your channel very special. But, when I saw you performing at the tribute, I realized you are above all a performer. Respect.
You looked wiped brother! I can't imagine how intense that concert was on everyone's emotions. You did great!
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos consistently through that whirlwind. I cannot imagine the emotions you mustve been going through, I know personally i’d be in absolute outer-space for a good bit after such an experience. So thank you for sharing and talking to us about it. I hope you get to enjoy some honest days resting in the glow. Incredible performance at a beautiful event!
Great job Justin! Glad you were able to be part of this special event.
You’re a top lad Hawkins.
You're very good at expressing yourself and expressing your emotions and your point of view in general, I really admire this. I recently discovered this channel but I immediately learned to appreciate your personality.
Thanks for this, know that you are appreciated and please keep it up!
Best regards
To somewhat echo Matthew Becker’s comment: It makes me happy to see you all repping this very special channel elsewhere on UA-cam/social media. Such a feeling of kinship. It makes the world feel smaller and friendlier. Cheers all, and congratulations, Justin, on your thrilling performances in memory of Taylor, and to honor his other friends and family.
Justin, great work this weekend! Under Pressure was out of this world!
You are an amazing human being Justin, keep it up.
You were Under Pressure. You smashed it, dude. Amazing performance x
That show will forever live in my heart and head. I still haven't gotten over the high of it, so I can't imagine what all of you are experiencing after performing! Foo Fighters were one of the first bands I ever fell in love with as a kid, so as expected, Taylor's passing has hit hard. You guys all did an incredible job giving him the send-off he rightfully deserves. Big love!
So great seeing you on stage rocking out to such classics!
Justin. You totally killed it the other day as did Rufus. Enjoyed every song you came up on stage for. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by your Van Halen covers with Wolf. I personally thought you were one of the highlights of the whole concert. Taylor would’ve loved it! Also, Dave is right if Brian Johnson asks you to do something you do it!
I can't add anything which hasn't been said here already - it was an amazing day from start to finish. I know it's hardly the point, but it's nice to see you got a well-deserved subscriber boost since the show - you obviously impressed more people than just us lot.
You killed it Justin and you entered once more into the legend!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you get some much needed rest!
Justin you killed it..your attitude etc added to the performance. the vh performance was so great
You're a Legend Justin. Love The Darkness, you are equal to all Rock Gods after Tailors Tribute. Whoa, what a performance man.
You absolutely smashed it Justin, awesome performances from everyone involved!
You nailed every part, Justin. Well done!!
Justin, thanks for this mate. It’s a rare glimpse for us mere mortals to see those on such amazing journeys to share their human experiences. It seemed like such a special day and you nailed it mate.
Ollie how’s it going man!
Thanks Justin, I could listen to you talk about the Taylor Tribute for hours. I'm still crying when I hear about it, so I cant imagine the depth and variety of emotions you have and are experiencing. Looking forward to hearing more. Felt so proud of you watching from Melbourne Australia. Love this JH communiry.🙏🌏💙
Thanks Cynthia!
You were brilliant! Well done!!!
It was awesome to see you out there and it did appear you were genuinely happy to be there, it was so good to see.
