"I believe in a thing called love" By The Darkness
 

Anyone heard this? It is a catchy little song isn't it? I have heard it a million times the past few days and then today I saw the video, it's pretty weird, but has kind of a 80's retro kind of thing going. The hair definitly makes you remember the 80's.........and those clothes. I think it's a pretty good song.

Here is a link to watch the video if you haven't seen it.

LOL, I have read a lot about them, but I haven't heard the music yet. They are doing cheesy 80s on purpose. They are hella funny in interviews.

Interesting, I haven't heard much about them. I guess I need to pay more attention to what is being said. I may buy the album because it's so catchy.

I'm "familiar" with them already for a year now... The concept is pretty nice but I hate that voice! :yikes:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!! Can someone safe me from The Darkness!!!!

:scared: :scared: :scared:

LOL. He has a different voice for sure. I had never even heard of them until a few days ago. I guess I have been under a rock. :)

his voice makes my ears bleed

the next time i hear that song this might happen

:killtard:

Well I guess I've heard of them earlier because they're an English Rockband and I'm from the Netherlands... there's only a Northsea that divides us from England :) A 4 hour boattrip...
So you don't have to be ashamed of not knowing of them earlier :D

I don't feel too bad about not knowing them then.

Dan, you crack me up. You really feel that strongly about his voice? ;)

I love The Darkness!!!!! Yes, the lead singer's falcetto can be a bit unnerving at times... but the rhythm section (everything else) is so fucking amazing!!!!!! Reminds me of the '80s! Well, other than that I can't remember listening to much GNR, Van Halen, etc. when I was 5.... "Bareback" (a track not found on "Permission to Land", but I think on the "Growing on Me" EP) is a great piece of instrumental rock. Speaking of which, "Growing on Me" has been called "the world's happiest song about genital warts"!

I really hate that song. It's so stoopid. After I heard it the last time it was stuck in my head for about 2 days. I guess it's better than that stoopid Hilary Duff song I had stuck in my head today.


H-D :cool:

I laugh my ass off every time I hear this song and see the video. He hits some MAJOR high notes!!! That must be some wedgie he has! :wtf:

it crappy commerical music...I heard the whole album and it crappy commercial music...but that is my opinon........

i think they were stoned when they did that video

actually, the album's pretty good... and they're not exactly corporate sellouts like a shitload of other bands today...

I think the video's gross, and his voice sucks in my opinion. After I saw the video, I wished I hadn't.

lol.... check out this album cover (the EP, "Growing on Me")

what the gay

That was gross! LOL, I wish I hadn't seen that either!

Didn't they say they were serious about their music? :eek:

serious, but not too serious... they like having fun... there's an interview w/ them in the most recent Playboy, so i might type that up (it's short) so long as i can get past the wondaful pics without becoming, um, distracted

And I agree with you! :clock:

They Suck Plan And Simple hey Did anybody Here That The lead Singer dude Somebodys Trying To Kill Him Or Something Like That!! Um Wonder Why HAHAHAHA !!!!!

prolly b/c haters take stuff too far sometimes... can't hate on good music

The Darkness might not be serious, but "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" still rocks. :jam:

Naaah!!

:jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam: :jam:

The three solos in the song rocked. :jam:

Okay, they can play guitar, but I don't like their songs...

you ain't be lyin', yo! the solos kick all hella ass! maybe all these haters out here should buy the album, listen to all of it all the way through, instead of dismissing 'em b/c the lead singer sounds like a pansy at times.

Their leadsinger is really flamboyant, but he has great range.

I only liked their single, but I don't plan on buying their album any time soon.

me neither... based on IBIATCL, I wasn't gonna buy the album. But thank God for alternative means...

haha that was awesome

<--------Can not stand the darkness :throwup:

Their single is still cool, but I still don't take them seriously as artists.

Oh man!! I just read this on a Dutch rocknews-site. It has been 30 years ago that QUEEN had their first number one hit. They plan to celebrate this with a huge concert... but who should "replace" Freddie Mercury for that event???

Well... ahum... Brian May revealed a few days ago that it's gonna be: Justin Hawkins... yes that almighty singer from the Darkness. :pukey:

They will start first with a benefit-concert in the UK on the 11th of May... where Justin will sing too!

How's that gonna sound??? Can you imagine???

wicked hardcore! up-and-coming pseudo-queer to fill shoes of immortal queer!
