Justin Hawkins from The Darkness in his latest interview agreed that the name of his band derived from one of Queen songs, You And I. In a tight corner he had to agree that Queen is and was the greatest rock band ever. As he says: --You And I was my favourite song for a while and then I discovered a little miracle in the lyrics of this song.--
--Music is playing in THE DARKNESS...-- this line changed the musician's life and he understood that his band MUST have this name.
Justin also adds: --I wish I was talented as much as Freddie Mercury, he's my idol...--
So GO Justin, GO!!! We are with you!

this seems highly unlikely, to me anyways, and Justin wasn't in the band to start with
April fools or not...im dithering in the whole darkness front...i have their album, but for some unknown reason they annoy the hell out of me sometimes...not sure why that is..overexposure..i dunno *scratches head...* ;D
I'm glad you guys liked the idea about The Darness, but I have to dissappoint you darlings, this was just an April's 1st joke. :(
Anyway, the truth is that QUEEN WAS AND IS THE F***ING BEST ROCK BAND ON EARTH! ;)
I love you all! ;)
how strange! i was listening to that song yesterday and i heard that lyric, and it seemed to stand out to me and then i had a darkness song in my head the rest of the day! coincidence! xxx
"I think I'll stick by my earlier comments. I heard that blasted song again and wanted to rip my ears off. ;)"
You've only heard one?
you should listen to more than one, you might like the other ones
I've heard the one song in full, And the rest of them I have heard about a minuate of each. I don't base opinions on ONE song. EVER. I gave them their chance. And that's all they'll ever get from me. I think they suck, Simple as that. They sound as though they are mocking music in general, And music is something I take VERY seriously.
Interesting joke... maybe of it were true I'd have one iota of respect for The Darkness.
Anyways- I heard that the band got their name from a saying their bassist, whatshisname Poulain used to use, "All great music comes from the darkness".
So they adopted the name The Darkness, ie, all great music comes from them. Not quite. Personally, I can't stand them. They just irritate me. A lot.
that's great my friend rachael met the darkness at the rock hall during spring break I was planning on going there too but it would have been a different day. ...aw shucks...
