We call ouselves Queenies and on the Darkness forum they call themselves Darklings. And they've started doign the annoying song abbreviations thing. Lol.
Abbreviating songs is less confusing for the "Darklings", though, because they've done about 1/250th of the number of songs Queen have done. So if we can understand most of the abbreviations we're much cleverer than they are. :-D
"Does all these "dark" names get any of yas thinking of my old nickname? Just out of curiosity. "
No, but it does remind me of some shithead who used to post here and when people started to hate him blamed it on his condition.
"Darkness = AC/DC revivalists with a B-grade Russel Mael in Zandra Rhodes mockups. Hideous."
I'll agree with much of that, but not the part about AC/DC. The Darkness are far more musically superior to AC/DC.
That reminds me... this month's Guitar World magazine has an interview with two of the guys from The Darkness. When asked about their comparisions to Queen, one of them was quoted saying they are "a straight Queen".
What does everyone think of that?
