I only saw them once when I was in LA last year. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-4058 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:33:24 +0000 SickThing 4058@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I love The Darkness! I agree with GlamJam89 that their silliness is a good thing!<br /> Also, to be honest, my friends and I play Singstar whenever there's a whole group of us and I always insist on doing a solo for "I Believe In A Thing Called Love"<br /> It's great fun, only problem is that it's quite difficult to imitate Justin's voice if you're only a 2nd Soprano. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-4057 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:31:55 +0000 jonnprunz 4057@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Metal Skool. thay are the best 80s tribute I've ever heard and thay look the part to unlike some of these bands.go check them out and see what you think. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-4047 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 23:32:33 +0000 ElectricGypsy 4047@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I'm quite into CrashDiet and VOJ, but i have to say the best new glam type band have to be Knock Out Kaine, they are quite new, but i really love them. Look them up, they won a kerrang award or something! </p> <p> <a href="http://www.myspace.com/knockoutkaine" rel="nofollow">http://www.myspace.com/knockoutkaine</a> </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-4034 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 20:45:29 +0000 GlamJam89 4034@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>I can totally respect why you wouldn't enjoy the Darkness, but to be honest I think a lot of their charm comes from how freaking silly they are. You haven't lived properly until you've seen Justin Hawkins ride above a crowd on a life sized white tiger replica belting out guitar solos. Even if you don't like the voice, the riffs are good enough to want to listen to anyway. "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" is one of the first songs I tackled on my guitar.</p> <p>Love Crashdiet. Got into them once I heard Mick Mars worked with them on a few songs for their new album, which I can't wait to get. Not exactly revolutionary, but they've got good stuff.</p> <p>Another new band I haven't seen mentioned is We Are The Fury. The singer can sound just like Bowie on the slower songs, it's amazing. Their looks aren't all out glam, but it's definately there. But if you're looking for a metal sound, they aren't for you. Much more of a pop feel. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-4023 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 14:33:51 +0000 RichieWristrokkit 4023@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Fuck The Darkness. There has been a recent insurgence of new stuff thats pretty fucking good, I'll admit. But, c'mon...you can take a look and a listen to something and know immediately if its worth a shit. I've got it down to a science. I do want to check out this band Crashdiet though. Been hearing good things from reputable sources... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-2541 Thu, 22 Nov 2007 18:06:02 +0000 Syndrome477 2541@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"Ed Vedder is a dysfunctional teeth grinding, brooding angst ridden, grim, frustrated, flannel wearing tosser, who doesn't appreciate the honour of being a rock star and he avoids press, doesn't do video clips and tries to act like he's got all the problems of the world and the music industry on his shoulders.

Although he takes his music and vocals very seriously, the key to the whole thing is the notion that they take the piss out of themselves and their genre. Personally I think they were brilliant. They released 2 awesome albums with no filler cuts amongst them. Plus a whole bunch of equally killer b-sides, too </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-2463 Wed, 21 Nov 2007 05:27:53 +0000 Stanley 2463@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>The Darkness have officially broken up.<br /> Justin is doing new solo stuff while getting ove his drug issues, and the other 3 have a new singer and are currently deciding upon a new name....</p> <p>Such a shame.... </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-2435 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:33:01 +0000 AniseedRock22350 2435@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>i like "i Believe in a thing called love" and that's about it...and i like it because of Bridget Jones Diary 2..not because of The Darkness. </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-2434 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 19:29:11 +0000 starr76 2434@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <p>Lol The Darkness alwayz have and alwayz will be a fuckin' joke saw them way back when they looked like a substandard grunge band and they got bottled off stage supporting the Wildhearts </p> http://glamrock.com/forum/glam-forum/new-bands-trying-to-act-glam/page/2#post-2431 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 16:51:35 +0000 AniseedRock22350 2431@http://glamrock.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>"motleyguy said: <strong>I think they broke up didn't they and aren't gigging anymore? </strong><br /> (about the Darkness).<br /> Is this true?
