He has a KZbin channel called Justin Hawkins Rides Again. He may review your review. He's been known to do that.

[@jopay142]

I would recommend a canadian duo, Crown Lands, and their last single, "Lady of the Lake". Seriously Maggie, you will be blown away!

[@metalmaniabicks8632]

Why not critique your own original material 👍

[@aaroncustodio1186]

Please make review for malachi in America's got talent. Thanks a lot

[@normankennith7919]

check out anythjing by the late patricia janeckova who died in october from breast cancer, aged 25, six weeks after getting married!!!!

[@elbruces]

The Darkness perfectly straddled the line between "they're really serious about rocking this hard" and "they're making fun of rocking this hard," and I could never figure out which. Somehow it was both.

[@BD-yl5mh]

If you’re taking it seriously you’re doing it wrong. They didn’t straddle shit. They made the line their own

[@cmcc3721]

Classic 70's British rock kept alive by a band populated by seriously good musicians. Nothing more to it tbh

[@shagojo84]

Scaroused is the word you’re looking for

[@rikardottosson1272]

Also, the lead singer is a KZbinr now - Justin Hawkins Rides Again.

[@xtrmfc]

Love his Channel

[@jackmcculler658]

Awesome channel.

[@Calinicus72]

Justin reacted to @TheCharismaticVoice ‘s reaction to this very same video, and later had quite the interesting, in-depth conversation with her. Perhaps a lengthy conversation with Maggie is in order, if he sees this video?😅

[@Tapac78]

seriously!?!?!?! That's him?!?!? LMAO

[@iczero1224]

He also interviewed Ren recently which was epic

[@michaelkenner3289]

Fun fact, the original no budget music video they filmed was shot in a supermarket and he sang into a sausage they picked up off the shelf like it was a microphone. The part in this video where he's singing into a sausage is an homage.

[@ifax1245]

Fun fact, it's the same sausage!

[@coat.thik1]

Original video prop was an hair spray

[@matthewoconnell4700]

@@coat.thik1 nah it was the same sausage

[@primalengland]

They are absolutely phenomenal live.

[@jgilbertify]

Yep...seen them in a little dive in Kenosha Wi.... They were Awesome!!! worth the 4 hr trip... ;)

[@RandomSubjects]

Your reaction was so much fun! Made me feel like it was my first time hearing this too

[@dadof4813]

Love is only a feeling is about as melodically pleasing as it gets.

[@bigjay123]

Justin hawkins has a youtube channel too. He talking about all the songs and other band's music.

[@KawaTony1964]

The lead singer is Justin Hawkins, and he has a KZbin channel now: Justin Hawkins Rides Again. "The Charismatic Voice" did a collab with him. I'm sure you could, too. Justin was also a masked singer. He didn't win, but got really high up.

[@34rdiaz]

Justin said him and his brother tried to write the dumbest song they could think of... and came uo with this one and had no idea it would have hit this big.....thats awesome when I first saw the video I was wth..but the song is so catchy I watch it now I just laugh so much..my daughter loves this song ..we used to do car kareoke to this song ..it was fun we would bust up laughing..😂👍

[@glenncoleman6253]

Absolute banger of a song at a time when there was very few banger tunes.

[@Krendall2]

When I first head this song, my impression was the group was a blend of Queen and hair metal. And I mean that in a good way.

[@jthomann71]

The Darkness and Scissor Sisters, which you need to check out, were two of my favorite bands of the 2000s.

[@deathbydiarrhea9146]

Ah yes The Darkness, though they never take themselves seriously, they do take their music seriously. They are not shy in wearing their influences on their sleeves, AC/DC and Queen mostly. Speaking of Queen, their current drummer is Rufus Taylor, son of Roger Taylor of Queen. As for their music I would suggest you check out Open Fire, Last of Our Kind, Heart Explodes.

[@ladylisaromance8129]

He still sings this good, too!

[@Darth_Lunas]

I love this song! I miss college. 😆

[@PsyphaX09]

Same, early 2000s. 😂

[@kennyg823]

Justin Hawkins is the best! You should talk to him 😊

[@mrvertigo23]

Great band and glad they all got alive

[@ExUSSailor]

I once saw them at the old Trocadero in Philly. Justin, the singer, climbed up from the stage, to the balcony. Went hand-over-hand to the back of the theater, dropped off of the balcony into the crowd, then, crowd-surfed all the way back to the stage.

[@bittergeek]

I always dreamed of a CheeseFest, with The Darkness, Dragonforce, and a third I can't recall currently. Ideally held in Cheddar, UK. Because they all just own the cheese. They don't pretend to be pretentious artistes, they are cheesy as hell and they're OK with that.

[@trixiebella]

Scarred forever LOL, Love it!!!! great job Maggie that was fun :D See you soon!

[@AzarathMetreon]

That horrified yet intrigued expression mixed with the head bobbing is pretty much the perfect first impression with this entire experience of a song and music video combo. 😂

[@DavidJacobsvo]

As someone else said the best harmony guitars in rock are from Thin Lizzy. Run do not walk to the nearest song. Jail Break. Boys are back in town.

[@MrNikolidas]

Wild One.

[@henrikharbin5521]

Hi Maggie :) The Darkness is very glam rock/ glam metal. I would suggest listening to The Sweet next if you like this. Their biggest song is Ballroom Blitz, but I also v love Little Willy, Love is like Oxygen, and Wig Wam Jam. Have w beautiful Monday :)

[@andrewgray5945]

He'll raiser is another good one of theirs.

[@andrewgray5945]

Hellraiser

[@gizmoitus]

One of a kind band without a doubt, channeling the Glam rock era, with a sense of humor. Another highly original metal band you might enjoy: Coheed and Cambria: strange, creative often operatic, with themes that are downright bizarre. Check out Ten Speed of God's blood, which is most certainly the only song in history about a demonically possessed bicycle.

[@debbystasinopoulou4696]

Thanks for this, Maggie! I love The Darkness, and Justin Hawkins is amazing -- please react to more of their music. (If you think they are nothing more than a *parody* band, the joke is on you; these guys do legit rock and roll, with thoughtful and often amusing lyrics.) I recommend these songs: Bald, Open Fire, Growing On Me, Black Shuck, Hazel Eyes, Motorheart, and many more!

[@brentlee1043]

Justin Hawkins had a great interview with Ren on his video channel

[@michaelanderson1476]

EPIC ONE HIT WONDER!!!!😎🎸🤘👏🙌👍🎉

[@Qmocean]

These guys brought glam rock back in the middle of the alt rock n nu metal era. At the time i got quite sick of hearing this song. Working in a kitchen that only allowed radio no CDs, we heard it every 30-45 minutes over a 10-12 hr shift 6 days a week, and hear in the clubs at night too. Now its pure nostalgia for me.

[@giljensen1132]

He is a musical legend

[@terrydavis7389]

this is such a fun song.. i have it on my playlist at work.

[@Peteeymhh]

Love this song since launch, still have as a couple of my alarms to wake.

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

I reacted the same as you. He is genius, a brilliantly shining light. God.level singer.

[@marcwright8395]

Great tune

[@clarenceflam]

Everything to this song is a massive tribute to Queen. His clothing, the harmonics of all instruments and someof the imagery in the video that nods to Bohemian Rhapsody. The song title is play on the Queen song, Crazy little thing called love, which was written by Freddie Mercury while he was in the bath...which make explain the opening scene 😆

[@TheVideoLounge]

And some Thin Lizzy with that twin guitar harmony.

[@randywissler9923]

How ironic that their drummer is the son of Roger Taylor, Queens drummer. 🤘🤘

[@Vmcf1968]

i discovered the darkness from justin hawkins rides again from his ren reaction and interview. he's very cool

Christmas time - Don't let the bells end. Classic Darkness Christmas song

It's a space squid that was getting "Randy" with ship.

[@stjohntownsend3019]

They have turned into a kind of metal cabaret act now, an off shoot from the Darkness called The Stone Gods are worth a watch.

[@doumc3584]

You should react to Love Is Only A Feeling next!

[@GSimon850]

The Darkness are brilliant

[@mikenolan8044]

Strange indeed but great! I am a big time electric guitar fan so this was right up my alley. And that voice! And as a bonus some fine snarly head voice from Maggie, Yay SpongeBob!

[@narcolepticsleepsman]

He is the guy in and diet Dr. Pepper commercials the with the high voice you can tell 😉

🖤The Darkness!!! Next video continues into next song 'Friday Night' -I'd also like (original videos) of 'Is It Just Me?' & 'Love is Only a Feeling' -Thanks!!!

The Darkness rules.

[@joseesparza7488]

He’s got the Mariah Carey “whistle” register.

As Plankton said in that movie..."HIS CHOPS ARE TOO RIGHTEOUS!!!".

Wow this song was produced when you were in diapers ! One of the greatest videos of all time . Nobody can sing like Justin,i don't think even he can any more .

😮

[@Montyliciuos69]

That guitar tone is fkn perfect🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🇦🇺👈

lol for more The Darkness checkout "Open Fire". Don't worry you wont get scared by that one lmfao

[@lkj781]

holy blabbermouth

[@skildude]

Even though its looks like the musicians are also doing backing vocals. Justin did all the backing vocals himself. Much like Freddie Mercury

[@matthewgudikunst7908]

I would recommend One Way Ticket To Help by them.

[@gsmith7309]

I hate to say it but it's a really catchy tune❤

[@PanLian666]

You are awesome and beautiful 🤘

[@kdm71291]

To me, it's obvious that this is intended to be hard seventies-style glam rock done in an over-the-top eighties-style video! The front man is Justin Hawkins, who's a Brit.....most recently, he joined The remaining members of the Foo Fighters on stage, along with various other guest rock stars, for the tribute concerts for their recently passed drummer, Taylor Hawkins (No relation)..........he has his own KZbin channel called "Justin Hawkins Rides Again" and knows music pretty darn well.....and has joined other musical people in joint videos, such as Rick Beato.......and as you might expect, he's a bit of a nut....but with a good heart, as far as I can tell.

[@theBaronVI]

It would be better if you noticed all the big music parodies done. You didnt see zep or wonka, hair. Absurd was mtv in late 90s.

[@patrickbateman7369]

He doesn't say "get down" he says "guitar" right before the solo

[@Nachtschicht1]

I loved this song when it came out. Sadly, The Darkness seemed to vanish as fast as they popped up and I haven't heard of them since. Maybe its worth looking into what became of them. This song reminded me of a Mix of Queen and Led Zeppelin, which I both love.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

Vanish? They have had a couple of mini hiatuses, most notably when Justin had to go through rehab (he’s been sober for several years now), but they’ve kept going. They’re currently working on their 8th studio album, in between playing a few shows. I’ve seen them twice in the last 12 months and they are great live.

[@Nachtschicht1]

@@CoffeeMatt10 I'm aware that they never really vanished, but after a few hits they no longer appeared in TV that much, so I sort of forgot about them. But I will update myself about what they have done since then.

[@ssbtd00m]

@@Nachtschicht1 They came out just before everyone quit buying records. Their next record came after and while they have a strong (and it is strong) fanbase, unless your name is Taylor, Bey, or you have face tattoos, its hard to get heard outside of fan channels these days.
