Hey, guys, I'd like to know what do you yhink about The Darkness? I don't really know what I think about them, but these ere the things I came up with:
1. In one post here I found that they say they contact with Freddie... I don't like it.
2. But, i didn't find anything about Queen or Freddie on their website. Just that they have "many musical inspirations". That's what I like.
3. We have to remember that Queen is an important part of history, and we're supposed to learn from our history. You could say that this is what The Darkness is doing: using lessons from past. another good thing about them.
4. They're not exactly playing Queen-like music. That's good, isn't it?
5. clothes... When I see the vocalist in these Freddie-like clothes, I don't know if I should be happy that someone remembers about Freddie, or not...:)
6. I think that if we could, we would want Queen to be reactivated, and I think that we don't like 60-years-old-Queen. well, I don't like.:) SWo the best idea is another band, with young members:P
So - what do you think?
All I'm going to say is that bands like Guns N' Roses, Foo Fighters, and Extreme are highly influenced by Queen.
...yet, none of them sound anything like Queen.

Xtreme? That's one I didn't know.
Add to that list Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, and (dear God) Take That.
Also my own band, which primarily plays show tunes but occasionally a Queen song if my throat's having a good day.
Hey, I'm sure averyone has seen this already, but I found this just now, and I decided to post this link: link
That's an interview with Brian where he says he loves The Darkness. I think that's interesting if you haven't seen this already.
