      Never mind Mel bloody C, Some of us are still upset about your Florence and The Machine comments.
      Your reviewing was damning with faint praise. Honestly I don’t get how you don’t get her as a song writer or vocalist:
      If someone were to maybe criticise Florence’s live performances, I’d get that’cos some of them are shite!
      I have no problem with Mel C, she’s got a pretty serious set of pipes on her but being brutally honest , she’s not in the same league as FATM.

I especially enjoyed the performance since it was recorded on the same day that you recorded my "Happy Birthday" Cameo, backstage at the BBC. I want to sincerely thank you for the time and effort that you (and Andy, and the others in the room) put into making such a special Cameo. I cherish it. Thank you, Justin, for all the joy you bring. 🌺

Regarding the 'listening to your own voice' comment, occasionally I have opened another window to watch the song being commented/reacted to, if I'm unfamiliar with it. However, your reactions are totally entertaining and very spot-on. And also, breaking out the guitar to deconstruct/analyze is really cool. You have a great ear. I'm also impressed by the Jeff Back pickless playing. Is that a new thing for your electric playing as well?

    Yes, it’s not a listening party! And we’re here because we like the host and format. JH isn’t creating his subscribers, the subscribers are people who like what this is.

      He might as well have asked “why do people find rockstars interesting?” And maybe he just doesn’t have a clue how CZcams and things like podcasts work…you seek channels and/or shows out because of the opinions of the people that host said shows. Some you like, some you don’t…it’s a matter of personal taste. That’s the whole point. Don’t like it? Either find one you do or find something else to do. It blows me away he’s had so many years to figure this out now and still doesn’t grasp the concept.

    As a side note to NYE (which was fantastic) I would also like to just commend you on looking simply marvellous in that jumpsuit. Mothers across the land were deeply appreciative.

    Keep talking. I don't have a shit-ton of musical ability and as a novice lyricist, I really enjoy watching the breakdown's piece by piece because I'm fascinated by the way songs are put together.

    I absolutely ADORE you Justin. I am so happy to have found your channel. I'm catching up on past episodes I've missed. I loved your voice back in the day , and it is STILL as amazing ,if not more so, than it was 20 years ago. I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself, it really shows! I'd love to know your opinions on Pink Floyd? As a struggling singer/songwriter , I sing in a Tribute band in Memphis, TN. and I love covering " Great Gig In the Sky" . What a fun vocal work out! You are probably one of the few men that could cover Clare Torry's vocals on that song. Thank you for not becoming that sad cliche of the rockstar who burnt himself out and wasted his talent! BRAVO JUSTIN!

    I was listening to you read the comment from the guy who disses you. it made me laugh. My personal taste in music is more Jazz, progressive and also folk rock. So though I enjoy it when I hear your music and it's very clear you are very good at what you do, your not the music I normally put on to listen to.
    But I also love your rides again channel. You are clearly knowledgeable about composition and music and I think you're relatively humble for a musician (I mean we are all self absorbed aren't we?) and you have helped me have an appreciation for some of the artists I may not really like too much. And you have also turned me onto some bands I may never have known about without your channel. keep it up!

    I worked in security for 20+ years including concert security. I remember working a Darkness concert at the BIC in Bournemouth and the whole band and crew were lovely people...the highlight of the concert was the guitarist going amongst the crowd playing whilst sitting on my fellow bouncer's shoulders. We wouldn't have done that if the band weren't such nice people...would've probably dumped him on his ass

    My apologies brother i never realised quite how good a guitarist and musician you are until I started watching your videos a few weeks back, respect to you ❤

    Hi Justin, I'm late for the party as I have recently discovered The Darkness, through watching your fabulous channel. I was reflecting on your 'Bunns' comment and when watching I believe in a thing called love, which I can sing (hit me up!). Imagine my disappointment when your 'Bunns' were blurred out in the vid. I'm gutted! I love you BTW.

    For an example of lyrics carrying the music , i'd cite early Billy Bragg. Simple electric guitar chords, but he had a lot of important stuff to say!

    To be frank, The Darkness wasn't my cup of tea back in the day and I really don't know how I've stumbled on this channel. In saying that, I love the videos and have discovered your one hell of a musician. Watching your breakdowns and thoughts on things are fascinating, and I have a new found appreciation for The Darkness to boot!
