Couldn’t work out if they were a proper group or a Bad News type pisstake. Come to that, I still can’t…😂 I watched it for about 10 mins last night, that was about as much as I could manage TBH. Turned the volume down and it was hilarious..😆 Good job we all have different tastes though innit? A friend of mine has crewed for The Darkness for a few years and always says what a set of top blokes they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 2 hours ago, Mickeyboro said: They did more than one?🙃 Seven or eight by now, I think! After the mad success of the first album, they hit probably the ultimate example of "second album syndrome" in history and then split in much animosity. Since reforming they've managed a run of excellent albums, which is a shame they hardly touched them in the set on telly yesterday. Unless we were watching an edit, perhaps?

LewisK1975 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Whatever happened to Sky Arts showing extended highlights of the Download festival? Always used to be on a few weeks after the festival, usually over 2 nights, 3hrs each night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 A great programme on Sky Documentaries last night - Steven Van Zandt : Disciple. A long (2 and a half hours) documentary of Steve’s life, including some great comments from Springsteen, Southside Johnny etc. Great old clips throughout, recommended if you’re into all that stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering who is in the bass chair? Nailed the Chic stuff on a Stingray, now using a Squier Precision. Trombonist was excellent on ‘I’m coming out’ too, and the drummer is absolutely spot on. Shame that both some lead and backing vocals sound a bit off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Phil Mulford along with Mike Smith on Drums. I too thought the Rhythm section and Orchestra were very good. I wasn't sure about the vocals either. Pitchy at times and a bit twee (IMO, of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
