Justin Hawkins' Honest Thoughts on Touring with Lady Gaga...

[@ticklybee6853]

I love how happy hour never feels like an interview, more so just friends having a conversation.

[@Frankeemc1]

Couldn't agree more mate👍🏻

[@GroinStrain_]

Justin is such a good speaker. He’s so intelligent. No wonder Happy Hour wanted him to come on

[@patrickbateman7769]

My best mate’s (who I’m in a band with) sister opened for the darkness a few times and remains in good contact with Justin. She’s always telling us about how cool and down to earth he is.

[@arturo435]

Gaga has always brought in opening acts that people really wouldn't expect a pop act to have. Usually it's just other up and coming pop artists that labels break deals with the bigger pop artists, she's had guys like these and an actual japanese digital singer, a really out there alternative DJ and stuff like that.

[@flazeda8743]

True!

[@Fa5Squad]

@@flazeda8743 darkness was around before gaga lol

[@flazeda8743]

@@Fa5Squad Who said the opposite? 🤔

[@mebeme007]

@@Fa5Squad The point that @arturo435 made has clearly gone straight over your head and has been lost on you. It's not about who was around first. It's the fact that Gaga doesn't restrict herself to only one genre of music or one type of support bands, etc. A great artist can appreciate ALL genres of music and all sorts of people in the industry (whether established or not).

[@petershortland478]

Despite LG physically struggling with fibromyalgia she puts so much work into her show, so glad I saw her with Darkness as support

[@jamiepercival5096]

Justin Hawkins rides again is one of the best KZbin channels, glad to see the man the myth the legend on happy hour

[@mebeme007]

I've only just recently discovered his channel and I'm really enjoying getting to know him and what makes him tick. Along with hearing some of their music that I'd not known about in more recent years. He's a really funny and deep guy, and The Darkness are a seriously underrated band.

[@alanmilo1146]

proof LG is a class act, everyone shes worked always point out how down to earth she is.

[@anyatrioli3734]

Touring with Gaga has been a long-standing dream of mine... Just wish she needed a violist. The player on the 5 string violin in the Born This Way Ball tour was fantastic!!

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

Didn't expect to see Justin on the pod. He's looking well :)

[@jumpforjoy6]

Gaga worked her ass off for her success

[@Channel24377]

Right she had the passion and determination something I lack and she amazes me because I know most people would give up midway and she just keeps going and she inspires me so much.

[@kookytoots6755]

Didn't she steal it from Lana though

[@kirastrikes8773]

in south africa too! damn, those were the days.

[@euanjones7117]

Didn’t know Hawkins was even on the pod!! I need to catch up and listen to this

[@ManWalksDogs]

There's me seeing the thumbnail and having heard new (I think) The Darkness on the radio a couple of days ago, thinking then that this was a new upload (to promote the new material) until I realised on playing that it was the old studio set-up and an eleven month old upload the algorithm has swung my way (probably because I played a few of his vids/shorts from Rides Again recently).

[@hahatoldyouso]

I saw you guys when supported Lady Gaga! Great opening

[@pleopod]

Glad to hear Brian May was nice to Justin.

[@mebeme007]

Why wouldn't he be. Brian, like Gaga, is someone who appreciates many different artists and is a really cool person in general. Plus, Rufus Tiger Taylor (son of Roger Taylor) has been the drummer for The Darkness since 2015.

[@jumpforjoy6]

He last worked with Gaga a decade ago though. She's very different now. Wayyyy more private and she's made it now. She's an Oscar winning artist. She rarely gets papped these days unless it's at a work event.

[@jalinsvision]

He opened for her in 2012 she already had 6+ #1 hits on radio won grammys and etc. She was the biggest pop star in the world at the time while still struggling with her mental health and etc.

[@MetalizedButt]

She was already huge in 2012 bro LOL how old are you

[@jumpforjoy6]

@@MetalizedButt where did I say she wasn't huge in 2012??

[@mebeme007]

Perhaps because Gaga has finally learnt how to manage herself and her life in the spotlight, without having to stress over it 24/7. Much less stressful for certain artists/celebs to just keep to themselves in the world we live in nowadays, where every public appearance, every outfit, every little word, every little moment is CONSTANTLY scrutinised by the media, the press and the court of the web. By the way, she had already made it back in 2012. Which is the point being made by the others.

[@Lisztomania1]

Stephanie ( Lady GA GA ) is worth her salt ..... I don't know anyone that doesn't recognize her virtuosity

[@oatlord]

In this interview, Justin Hawkins says...... really nice things about someone, because he's cool af.

[@scottishsceptile]

Love that theirs 2 mainshows this week again, absolutely brilliant. Maybe a tiny bit more effort/structure is needed tho just feel with the confessions maybe a tiny bit of making the confessions readable in a way, like some were just not readable which is FUNNY but I feel the podcast ended and their wasn't exactly the funny debate of whether they should've been forgiven. Or at least have a confession where it was 50/50 on whether forgiveness should be given

[@AnotherJamie]

Thought that was Robbie Knox for a minute

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

I’m amazed at Joseph Quinn’s patience with his fans, including being impaled on a couch for over an hour’s Q&A wherever he goes…adorable! But I really take exception to the idea of women standing in line to be photographed with their hands on him…I don’t know why, but I think it’s gross! I’m off-topic, but as the discussion was about personal space, I wanted to mention an example from my own experience: A very nice interview, thank you for sharing!

[@ViceSquad]

When hearing bands and actors talk about fellow artists, they always become, 'really good friends' .. how many really good friends does GaGa have then?? 🤣

[@mebeme007]

I guess if you don't have many (or any) really good friends, it's probably something foreign to you and something you'd childishly mock others for having.
