- Some excellent queries this week from you guys, thank you all! Today I'm asked what the worst experience I had a support band for another big band...this one experience with Disturbed in London is memorable, but maybe not for the right reasons. Some more guitar based musings also for those of you who enjoy that too!
Thank you SuperThanks folks - if you weren't featured in this week's episode and you've done a SuperThanks it was just because I filmed this before you commented.

JUSTIN HAWKINS! Who convinced you to start a youtube channel? Tell us the story? peas :)
Pretty peas!
I have a question. Even the great Eddie Van Halen has said that he can't play guitar and sing at the same time. He said it's like patting your head and chewing gum while roller skating. I've seen that you mostly sit out on the guitar during most of the song before catching a guitar sent via lightning strike from God above to do a face-melting solo. 😉 I wonder if this is because you have the same trouble or does it just depend on what suits the song? (BTW I play drums and can't keep a beat and sing at the same time. No judgement.) Be well.
Justin, you rode again. Again.
Question(s): how did you get sober, how do you stay sober, and what were the pivotal moments and experiences and insights from that journey.
Sincerely, your drug dealer. (I’m on the dole now.)
(Kidding. I kid with that part.)
It’s a lookalike, not really him!
I saw you with Hot Leg supporting Alter Bridge in 2008 at Brixton Academy and the crowd was not on your side whatsoever, for some reason. But the way that influenced your performance was just amazing and I don’t think I will ever forget it. You were just superb and my friend and I still talk about it to this day. Fuck the haters, you sir are a legend.
Never really could get into most of The Darkness' music but, despite that, Justin's channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Seems like a genuinely good bloke, and his honesty and humor is quite refreshing.
Same!!
I’m glad you approve. I am sure he is sleeping better after reading it.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 That's a bit rude.
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 you've got 28 salty comments on this channel so far mate... I think you've got a problem.
You know, not commenting at all is an option too.
In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, these videos are pure sunshine to me. Thank you for answering my question and thank you for the joy these videos bring to so many people. I hope you feel the love back. Kudos, love and sunshine to you most excellent, Justin.
Thank you...AGAIN!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain
Esp nice closing on this vid! 👍
I was at that Disturbed show. It's what cemented me as a Darkness fan. You were fantastic that night. I'd go as far as to say you outshone the main act.
Justin: "...you might be obliged to consider using..."
Me: "drugs"
Justin: "...an external writer"
Me: "an external writer, of course"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆👍
LMAO
Funny how many bands never seemed to consider that hiring an external writer would be cheaper than drugs (though obviously not as much fun).
Your channel has gotten me back into
The Darkness. Your talent is somewhat unmatched by anyone in music right now. Keep it going man!
Damn straight man! Justin is so fucking talented. I beg the lord above for the talent he has in his pinky!
I disagree with a lot of the comments on here. The Darkness brought back that true rock-and-roll feel for me. Every single time that I hear A thing Called Love, I am rocking the hell out and that is not even close to the best song. I appreciate their music so much.
Back in the Seventies, AC/DC and Queen got together and had a baby...and that baby was called The Darkness. 30-odd years later they made their presence known to the world. 😉
@@phantomechelon3628 Facts!
When they hit the charts with that song it was almost like someone stepped out of a time capsule from the motley crue hair metal days and they just appeared, at the time there was nothing like them, and I think them not taking themselves as seriously as the other "metal" bands of that time gave the wrong impression it was a parody act. Solid music, great vocals, catchy and memorable lines
My favorite band
Hi Justin! In the last band I was in, a power trio(man!) we just split everything into thirds. We all had our own equipment, so all we had to split was the money. 1/3 of $0 = $0. Easy Peasy!
Last band I was in (4 guys)….. we split everything five ways. Each person got paid and “the band” got paid….. band expenses were paid by “the band”….
@@Bernz66 I had a full-time job, so I'd give any of my gig earnings to the guitar player, whose van we went to gigs and toured in.
I believe in a thing called The Darkness. Great band.
Indeed! We all need a good laugh these days. Cheers!
Amen brother! 🤟🏼
For the beginner question: I was told once that it's always a good idea to finish your guitar practice on something that you really enjoy playing. I've been doing this for the last 30 yrs and recommend it.
I'm still shit though... :o)
Hey man, really enjoying the channel.
You should maybe break down some Crowded House tunes. I might be wrong, but I feel they deserve more love. The basslines are particularly amazing.
Crowded House are brilliant! Good call!
Amazing Amazing band
Temple of Low Men is fantastic. Low key dark & kinda creepy at times. Dystopian even. Beautiful.
Your videos can be so random at times but that’s what I love about your channel. Keep up the great work and I’m totally digging these videos.
Love this channel so much!
Thanks for entertaining us, Justin. I can't help but smile while watching your vids!
This is the best music channel on CZcams by a large margin!!
Holy shit balls! Look how many followers you have!! I've only been around since the 80k ish mark! it's fantastic to see how many people are finding your channel, it's definitely a bright spot on the interwebs. Big, huge congrats!
dude I am so in love with your channel, and the style of critique/education you're doing. keep up the good work good sir!
The more I watch your channel the more I enjoy it and you! I'm a musician ( drummer/vocalist) and a self described music snob who enjoys everything from PUNK to FUNK and JAZZ to EDM and your musical knowledge and insights are great to say the least. Thanks and keep it up brother,!
Just watched the darkness live in Astoria...pretty good. Straight up rock n roll. Refreshing and really well done.
first got recommended one of your videos a few weeks ago and have been absolutely hooked since. i haven’t came across many channels that have had me genuinely looking forward to the next video like yours. i appreciate you and your channel Justin!
Thanks Nathan!
I love your videos!! They are absolutely brilliant!
Justin, Hello,
I stumbled across your CZcams channel I love it.
I’ve been listening to The Darkness and you guys are
outstanding! All the best!
Somewhere, there's a guy that tells of the time he was at a gig once and managed to throw a piece of chewing gum directly into Justin Hawkin's mouth. And you know damn well NOBODY believes him. 🤣🤣🤣
Because his friends all know he's not that generous.
@@ryangunwitch-black hahahaha
Justin - you have to give us the actual answer! I need to know now, lmao
Cool story 😂😂😂
Justin would be a prime guest for Desert Island Disks on the radio. Get him on, BBC!
"I had to respect it really" was so polite, made me laugh.
He’s a better man than me
Love the show, great bits. Thank you!
Love Is Only a Feeling is one of my favorite songs ever. I'm 51. Got plenty of rock songs in my head. That is one of my favorite ones. Your solos are absolutely amazing in your earlier Darkness days. I was very pleased to have discovered The Darkness in 2003/4 lol. Excellent Band. I seen you live in Detroit. EXCELLENT show. Thanks Justin.
Justin, i remember coming across the vid for get your hands off my woman before you guys blew up and just got it straight away. Immediate became my new favourite band!
I'm so glad you said that. I cringed at that bump!! Beautiful guitar, beautiful guitarist. Wonderful voice. Great sermon hahaha
So much love to you Mr. Hawkins, you're awesome.
Been following for a while now. You're wise, hilarious, respectful and insightful and your shirt game is strong.
The Darkness are very underrated! They just need couple of big hits. I can hear Queen, Bowie and even the Stones! They are so refreshing and remind me of T Rex and NY Dolls or Bowies Ziggy Stardust. Strikes a real chord in me. I been around rock for a while in my 70 years. Justin just is a real rock star . Listen to him doing Van Halen at Taylor Hawkins tribute! Absolutely amazing. Wow!
Man, thanking you for your singing on Fubar 2. It made my day.
You really should do just one off, unannounced acoustic performances of songs once in a while on here. The sound quality of these visual podcasts are sonically great, so could be done easily with little effort.
That Disturbed gig at the Brixton Academy was my first gig! It was Blindside, The Darkness, and Disturbed. Indeed people around us were throwing coins and all sorts, was pretty intense. I do remember you putting your middle finger up, saying "SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!", before you all ran off the stage.
😂
I absolutely love these videos. I definitely hope you do a comment on Kings X new song and album. Such an underrated band
Thxs for all ur effort Sir Justin
I love your attitude and sense of humor!
It was a brilliant shot. Had to respect it really. Absolutely!
Had no idea this was dude from the darkness. Only know believe in a thing called love...and rock is dead or something like that. His musical knowledge makes me want to check out the darkness more.
Their new album is extremely good, I have it on in the car. Their first one is amazing too (Permission to Land).
you should, even their under rated albums are very good. they are only under rated due to music snobs and what reviews feel is the "in" vibe at the time
Really tasty licks at the end of this video - love the channel!
Wonderful that I’ve discovered your Channel and I’m currently playing catch up on your Videos. I apologise too for being late to the Game, but have seen the error of my ways, and am enjoying The Darkness Albums on full blast. My Neighbours love them, they threw a brick through the window so they could sing-a-long too! 🤘
In reality my Neighbours are very sweet - just to be clear.
Veritas Lit (Band).
I really enjoy your videos, and have been going back and listening to your more recent records with much delight. Wondering if you’d ever review or speak on some classic 90’s Mr. Bungle music?
All the best, cheers!
The gum anecdote was hilarious 😂
My snare drum buzzed from across the room when you sang that second "Again".
You're my new fave show for certain. If my wife weren't stone deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, I imagine she would be sick of your intro the past week now. X D At any rate, love every lovely moment with you so far.
Justin, you’re such a lovely human. Thank you for blessing us with such wonderful music. A couple of my personal favorites are Physical Sex and With a Woman.
Fantastic as always hun x
Would love to see a video on ticketmaster and such companies. Selling tickets in bulk before they go on sale to the public. Actively creating scarcity, helping scalpers etc
I have to say, your opening "Justin Hawkins rides again, againnnnnn!!! 😂 I love it and then you get great and honest content from you so just saying thanks for the channel and your takes on things as well as your positive attitude. I remember when you first came out with "I believe in a thing called love" my older brother and I still jam that song. As a musician I was in my early 20's when y'all came out with that song and you had a humorous quality in that video but I definitely noticed your guitar playing and fantastic vocals. Thanks brother from all the way from Maysville Kentucky ✌️💙 and whatever "see you on the ice" means, i can dig it "mate" so I hope to see ya on the ice 👍. And great job honoring Taylor as well ✌️
Thankyou for sharing your music wisdom Justin ❤️. My two boys love the theme music for graces amazing machine's,they sing it all the time. Makes me think of some of the awesome theme tunes to my favorite kids shows growing up, did you have any favorite tv theme tunes from your childhood ?
Love the channel... and I'ma need that shirt, Justin!
My all time favorite song of yours is Girl With the Hazel Eyes! Surprised it never charted or got airplay.
I hope this makes it into the Q&A.
I was wondering if you had any advice about getting back into performance again after band related PTSD causing stage fright
Your Brixton Academy story was interesting as I saw you support Alterbridge in HotLeg, you guys were brilliant, yet you faced a similar experience of people throwing things!! You handled it so well and it seemed so unfair considering how good you are, and the fact that Alterbridge will have supported you being their support act (if that makes sense). Anyway, videos are great, being a semipro musician, I find a lot of the stories so close to things that have happened to me over the years. Very entertaining. Hopefully see you with Blackstone Cherry in January.
So killer to see Dave reach out to you!!
Totally on board with your assessment of Powerage. Absolutely my favourite AC/DC album. I’m literally surprised when I hear anyone actually agree with me. Thank you.
Hello Justin, 3 part question. What was the first album you brought, and what was the first song you learned, and what was the first guitar you owned and have you still got it. Absolutely love your channel, thankyou for entertaining us.
Loving your channel.
You are getting better and better looking and increasingly articulate! Riding again is clearly the fountain of youth! I am extra mesmerized by both the shape and lenses of the glasses. Your responses to shit always win.
I love your theme song. I watch the beginning of all your videos and listen to you play your theme song.
I love the reflective ambiguity which briefly presides in your facial expression upon the completion of your intro theme. yes, i'm aware how that sounded.
That shirt is an absolute masterpiece!.... oh love the channel too! 👍👍
Hello from Finland Justin! I'm big fan of your work and seen Darkness play live many times! I was wondering is there any chance to hear a Hot Leg song at Darkness live concert in the future? Love your channel!
Find your channel very good, seen you guys in Belfast many moons ago. Was great show.
I would have forgotten to hit like without that bit right at the end, it worked!
The first UK pressing of Powerage had Cold Hearted Man in place of Rock n Roll Damnation and some of the tracks had slightly different arrangements to those of the version that went out to North America, Asia Etc. It's believed there were two different mixes. The UK release was rushed so it could be out before their tour began and the mix wasn't finalized.
You’ve got to dig into some Rival Sons Justin. Saw them in Cardiff on Monday and almost cried how fucking good they were.
To answer the question about reaching super high notes, a lot of it has to do with the natural voice of the vocalist. My husband is a vocalist (he minored in voice/vocal performance at University) and he has a very deep voice. His speaking and singing voice is a deep bass. He finds it difficult to sing in higher keys because it's beyond his natural range. He can if a certain song calls for it, but it really strains his vocal chords.
What’s with all the comments that go, “Don’t like The Darkness, but Justin’s alright”? So rude! If I ate some delicious cake that a colleague made, I wouldn’t say, “You’re sh*te at ping-pong, but this cake is lovely”! Just give the compliment without the barb. Anyway, the correct opinion is: The Darkness are absolutely magnificent.
I agree. I don't get it. To me it's about the music and they certainly excel at it.
When asked which record you can listen to countless times, I thought of Power Age, quite funny!😃
Love your channel Justin. Appreciate the content! I personally toured with David (too short) Draiman extensively.
He’s a tool. The smallest/most unworthy tool in the shed.
Keep killin’ it.
I'm so glad you feel the same about Powerage as I do. To me it's their best Bon Scott album. I love Down Payment Blues and the lyrics to it. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks. Any electric guitar solo would be cool to see. I love your tasty solos. 🤙 🎸
Thank you!! There are LOADS of guitar tutorials that I've recorded over on my Patreon if you want to try them out: www.patreon.com/jushawk
Thanks! I was wondering if you like any old school Country music ?. I’m a huge fan of old school country as well as punk rock always thought Johnny Cash was the first punk rocker! Been a fan of the Darkness since you came out! You guys play excellent guitar rock and loved your rig rundown so funny 😆
Thank you!!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain thank you brother I remember when I believe in a thing called love came out .. and I was jumping up and down that finally someone had brought the guitar solo back !!! You guys were the one of the first ones to do that in the grunge and Oasis era that I loved and that took balls ! Plus I love the sound of a cranked Marshall
Nice shirt and shades combo, Mr. Hawkins.
Love the channel dude! Can you explain how songwriting credits work? some songs will say "Written by Paul McCartney" but its well know that John or George had input creatively on the song either with the music or the lyrics. Surely when you bring a song to the band you don't have the solo or drums fully fleshed out already? so wouldn't them contributing a solo or whatever it might be count as a writing credit? How can a song be credited to one person in a band? Thanks!
Great episode
Hi Justin. I'm loving your channel and i've always loved The Darkness!!! quick question, do you like BBW's?
I am of the mind that starting on a cheap acoustic will help with strengthening the fingers up and getting callous. The first time you play a nice low action electric becomes very freeing.
Hi Justin! Love the show!.. just been listening to Friday Night, and I was wondering how the hell you got that sweet guitar sound on the solo section. I don’t know what it is about it, it almost sounds synth like in parts and I find it brilliant!
awesome shirt!! As usual ;)
Oh hey Mr Justin Hawkins, thought you might be interested to know that all the way over in Australia at the 3/4 time break in the Sydney Swans game they played I Believe in a Thing Called Love.
I thought of your channel and then thought of the few extra cents you might get from having your song played to 26k people
This vid was good fun. Cheers
Question for next time - have you ever found yourself getting frustrated with playing music, and if so, how did you come out of it? Did you carry on and let it pass or take a break for a bit? Thanks and love your channel!
Hi Justin, when you hit your next subscriber milestone any chance of a tour of your extensive wardrobe?? Loving the channel!
Good day, Justin!
As usual, I really enjoy and look forward to your posts.
It's like Christmas morning - waiting to open a present. :-)
I was wondering if you would consider talking about the voice of TAYLOR MOMSEN of the band "Pretty Reckless". I love her soulful, husky voice - would really like to hear her do one of my favorite female singers, STEVIE NICKS!
A quick history, Justin: Pretty Reckless was touring with Soundgarden when unfortunately, and tragically, we lost Chris Cornell. It set Taylor into a dark pit of despair and depression for years - which as songwriters, we know those emotions can produce incredible lyrics. She took a break after Cornell passed away. She 'soldiered up' (an American tern, of course!) and started singing again but her best friend, her guitarist, tragically died in a motorcycle accident. Back down that horrific, black, empty hole she was thrown again.
After a few very tough years she emerged with her band and they are back on the road now, having come to terms with her grief and demons - which is represented in her dark lyrics and visuals, etc.
A good song to review for you would be her tribute to Chris Cornell:
The Pretty Reckless - The Keeper (Chris Cornell cover feat. Alain Johannes)
Searching that will take you there. It's just the guitar and her unique voice.
I really hope you give it a listen to and share your feedback with us!
Cheers, Justin!
Love your Channel, engaging personality and humor, and your stories!
Hi Justin.Thoughts on guitar synth pedals?Treated myself to a Roland GR55 couple years ago but not finding it easy to hop between sounds then recently discovered Electro Harmonix (amongst others) gone mad with all manner of accessible synth pedals(polyphonic synth,mono synth,piano,organ,strings,etc) in their “9” series.I seem to go for increasingly dynamic extremes.Super clean verses (my telecaster is rapidly becoming my go to guitar) and then everything including kitchen sink,dishwasher,bespoke coffee maker,talkie toaster and pizza oven thrown at the chorus.
@Justin Hawkins Rides Again ...I love your shirt. You're always looking fly.
Your outro today gave me a laugh mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Do you have a large collection of guitars or just a couple favorites? Much love from Texas!!
Hi Justin.
Really big fan of your channel. Great opinions, advice and musical talent. My question is; I am a songwriter and have made a lot of high standard demos both with lyrics that are complete and ready for a band to record and some instrumental songs ready for a lyricist to put their own stamp on. Trouble is, where do I send these songs? It' s so hard to get them to a record company or a publisher as there are so many out there who just want your money. So where do I send my songs and demos?
Thank you for entertaining me on my lunch break every day.
Adam
Dude, Love the shades!
I love that question around the six minute mark about the best year or mini era of music because you're gonna get a different response largely based on how it affected the listener. '84? Huge. '93? Equally so. But for my money it was '76-'77, the year that gave us the Ramones, Talking Heads, Blondie, and Elvis Costello just to name a few. My record collection is very happy about that year, as am I.
Hey brother love your channel. Just wondering what kind of acoustic guitar is that your playing? Sounds really beautiful . If i had to guess I’d say Guild?
A true rock star and undeniably beautiful man.
Check out some Biffy Justin please. Maybe something like 'a hunger in your haunt' pretty recent, interesting for us guitar players, is a regular on the setlist. Love love love these videos btw 💙 hopefully will be seeing darkness again soon
I was at that Gig at Brixton!!
Hi Justin, what's with the DX7 tattoo? Your channel is part of my CZcams highlight 👍🏻👍🏻
That shirt is awesome!
@ 6:25 but Exile came out in '72. In '71, the Stones released Sticky Fingers x
Hey Justin. The first album I ever bought was "Permission to land" by this band called the Darkness. I think to this day (now 33) has forever influenced my taste in Music. What was the first album you ever bought? And how much does your taste in music now align to that album? Thanks
