Justin Hawkins Rides Again - You Tube Channel
• Welcome to Justin Hawk...

[@alexthepensmith6101]

I went to school with Sam. I remember he was absolutely obsessed with The Darkness when they came out, and his little band he put together did this very song in assembly once. What a full circle moment 20 years later that he's singing it with actual Justin Hawkins for real!

[@youtubeuser206]

If that's true what school was it

WoW 🎇🎇🎇 that's such a fantastic - never give up on your dreams 🌈🌈🌈 human story 💜💜💜 & a great example of anything is possible if you continue to live the Dream 💝💝💝

DEFINITELY TRU ABD THEIR WEARING RIGHT COLOURS

They should have performed the immigrant Song

[@justjaseyeah]

Justin Hawkins Rides Again is one of my favourite channels.. he's a very down to earth, funny dude and has good opinions on music

[@lel_uk]

I am currently catching up with all the JHRA episodes - Love it!

[@mirapiccolo6601]

I agree

[@witch_haunts_ghost]

He is the best thing on the internet. Hands down...

[@eddiemanukau9623]

AGREED. This performance shows his range.

[@MrLankoss]

I mean, I like the guy and watch his channel, but I would never describe the guy as down to earth. He is a front man, and like every front man of a successful band, he's overly opinionated and arrogant. It comes with the territory.

[@GavinusMaximusMaster]

Why the hell was this not talked about? We never see two actual musical talents dressed like a couple of stars doing a back to back guitar solo. Hell yeah man.

[@TheKennyboy92]

This was so cool

[@faf747korrales]

I thought exactly the same! 🤘😭

[@andocobo]

I agree 1000% You never see people rocking this hard on tv, fucking epic performance. Almost brings tear (of joy) to my eye to see this

Justin Hawkins… and Sam Ryder…rides again…. Again…. Great job boys!!!

[@jordan11752]

Their voices together are like butter and bread. This is awesome

[@CalumKenny]

Those pre chorus harmonies are just out of this world good

[@jeanproctor3663]

It's absolutely lovely to see two artists on stage with such obvious, unbridled *joy* on their faces! Justin always speaks very highly of Sam and his KZbin, Just Hawkins Rides Again is always a good watch.

[@tevster1316]

They look like they’re having so much fun

[@chucknovy7694]

This video is just pure unadulterated Fun and positive Vibes!!!

[@james_d_eaton]

These two are so great together. Never heard of Sam prior to this, but their energy and performance together is outstanding.

He won the Eurovision 2022 for us! Great to have some rock back!

@@Elessarion30 UK won, Ukraine just so happened too... what a coincidence

[@MultiKamil97]

​@@sadhappy8860Yeah, if it wasn't for war, Ukraine wouldn't have won. Their song wasn't really that great.

[@jackd9928]

Best NYE pre midnight music show in years from the BBC. Usually one artist playing their own songs so it's boring after 10 minutes. This was superb start to finish. And he wasn't just there promoting his own songs.

[@BeProductions1000]

The darkness was one of the most amazing bands I have ever seen live. Justin is so wild but so humble. So damn dynamic on stage. Goes from absolute mad man guitar front man to “oh thanks everyone” when they finish a song. This would have been awesome to be in the audience for.

[@ctrockstar7168]

I just saw them and I agree, amazing musicianship and the show was out of this world❤️

[@ZacOHara-fr4im]

and there chirstmas song in 2004

[@jorgglande8290]

If I see Justin on stage I'm automatically in a good mood :) But also great to see that they all have a lot of fun!

[@clarenicola1]

Two beautiful peacocks at their best👌🇬🇧💋

[@Pookiestud]

I can’t like this enough. The fun they are having is contagious. 🔥

[@michaellassen6690]

this is what is still awesome about music - fun, collaboration, real voices, real instruments, great to see an example like this of keeping things real

[@andocobo]

They were having so much fun, it was awesome

[@RyonMugen]

Bro this is the best! the Natural voices and instruments while sound nothing like CD/Digital. It hits so much harder!

[@Doomsterlobster]

No knocking on this, but never thought I'd see the day when The Darkness are praised for "keeping it real." 😂

[@Talkathon408]

Did you not notice the guitar playing in the background? It's obvious here 1:27 that some of it is prerecorded.

[@pacosala5853]

@@Talkathon408 I think that that part is being played by the backong guitarrists

[@brucesuzannesb]

This video makes me endlessly happy. How awesome to see two pure musical nerds just loving what they do with complete abandonment. You don't see many musicians play with that much passion. With endless touring you can see they just end up playing like robots but these two clearly had fun. I bet their audience felt every bit of passion that night.

[@hamiltonmews]

Justin Hawkins, national treasure.

[@sweptinblack]

Justin is such a good guitar player.

[@reshmapatel325]

Justin Hawkins is an absolute legend. I love the darkness solo guitar bits

[@micro-babe]

Both of these men can really rock a jumpsuit.

[@noeinroad7294]

I thing The Darkness was underestimated. I know the video was a bit campy but the that song just stuck. I LOVED all the guitar solos

[@MrJohnathanRebel]

Saw The Darkness twice and they were absolutely awesome. Justin is one of the greatest front men ever. Very underrated guitarist.

[@JohnBull-im3sv]

No he's not underrated. But what is overrated is the use of underrated on KZbin e.

[@thomasmackenzie6863]

You can’t help but smile watching this

[@unitedstatesmarines6542]

Watching from AMAZON RAINFOREST ( AMAZONAS RIVER GREAT) , i was Brazil army in 2004 and listen this song .....very happy

[@alix660]

Justin and Sam - what a brilliant combination!

[@graestunes]

Everyone should see this. That was incredible.

[@Maerahn]

Justin Hawkins is a smart and funny guy, and, in terms of cuteness, Sam Ryder is a Golden Retriever in human form. Together they are AMAZING!

[@adamsvideos4521]

Anybody that says The Darkness was a niche band has never heard the rest of their albums. Justin Hawkins has a spectacular vocal talent. I don't know Sam Ryder but he's great too!

[@thegroovyhead]

Their precise super high vocals are stunning as well as the harmony -- perfection. How fabulous.

[@Jakko25]

“You may be wondering, ERE, how comes that bloke from KZbin is on the telly”

[@turbophat]

This has to be one of the best all out rock performances I've ever seen. What a stellar pairing. They lit the whole goddamn place on fire. 🙌

[@TheBigChad]

If they never got heavy into drugs I thought they were gonna be the biggest band in the world. Live they’re absolutely insanity and I love it.

[@sofianikiforova7790]

The Darkness is still releasing incredible albums. They deserve way more popularity than they have.

[@justsomebloke460]

love everything about this performance, lads look like they're having mad fun up there

[@ISknne3D]

This was the best New year bash the BBC has done for ages. Sam Ryder is very good. and the line up was pretty much spot on.

This comment section is how the darkness should have been treated when they were out but they didn't my little brother loved them he made me learn the whole song and play it over and over

Absolutely brilliant performance! Sam Ryder did a great job and Justin Hawkins is a legend🤘

[@danfuller9840]

I remember my old band supporting one of Sam's old band around 15 years ago in a dodgy little place in Southend-on-Sea. Fucking love how far he has come, cracking performance too

[@dyslexiccowoom3991]

I hope they were having as much fun as it looked like they were having. Or even 1/2 as much fun as I had watching! Idk the blonde guy at all, but this is now one of my favorite duets ever.

Yeah, this Sam Ryder was phenomenal that night. Never heard of the guy before. Worked it like he'd been doing it as long as Alice Cooper. Great performer
