THE DARKNESS - I Believe In A Thing Called Love [Hammersmith. Nov 2011]

[@54spatula]

“You got me in a spin, but everything is Brian May” 👌

[@raccoonstarsmember]

Hahah

[@luisalejandrocardenasherna8264]

Jeje

[@herrfister1477]

Laugh. You typed what the man said in the video we just watched. Ha ha I am laughing.

[@robjgolde3221]

I mean, he’s not wrong haha

[@54spatula]

@@herrfister1477 He sang it actually. 💥

[@SoloEpi]

To anyone who has never heard or heard of The Darkness, the fact that BRIAN FUCKING MAY approves should be enough to convince them to give the boys a listen.

[@SashaShame]

It probably doesn't hurt that Roger Taylor's son is the drummer!

[@venlo28]

Why should he not ? As Queen has started with " heavy" rock. And maybe Rufus did a request to Brian to join in.

[@ledoynier3694]

@@venlo28 Rufus joined the Darkness like 4 years after that show :)

[@silverkitty2503]

they are a beautiful beautiful band ....

[@LOCKEYJ]

For anyone who has never heard of Brian may, the fact that the darkness let him hang around their stage like the parish cat might convince you to check queen out

[@erictoniaschwab1009]

I'm so thrilled they gave Brian the last solo!!!

[@jamesrobert680]

erictoniaschwab1009 he even have the song another dimension.

[@chaser247plus]

The band lived the dream of playing with Brian May -- and everyone else can enjoy watching that magical dream. Amazing!

[@nealm6764]

Wrong! Brian May lived the dream of playing with "The Darkness"!

[@miaschu8175]

I was there, and still get a shiver up my spine remembering when Brian May joined them on stage! It was a fantastic concert 😀

[@JacobKarr]

I was there too! Such a good night! Love the supporting acts aswell!

[@jamesrobert680]

Sounds phenomenal!

[@kim-tl6lo]

I never get tired of watching this. The Darkness with Brian May.

[@wutknut82]

That was soo great: 1st time I heard Brian May use the term fckng, so awesome! The redspecial was perfect in the song, precise as a diamond scalpel. The mix between the redspecial and Justin’s wonderful voice makes me regret that I didn’t experience in 2011 at the Hammersmith

[@rydersonthestorm7175]

I always wished that Justin Hawkins was Queens front man now. He's got the voice and personality

[@brendanmccabe8373]

Ryder Sonthestorm it would be better than Adam fucking Lambert

[@freethrice]

10,000,000,000% YES! First time seeing them together. Justin is So Hot! And to playing with Brian? I'm gonna Die!

[@usergiodmsilva1983PT]

That's what I've been saying for YEARS!

[@johnnynorrisjr.39]

I dunno. Justin isn't quite serious enough to do Queen's material, in my opinion. Some of that stuff is SUPER HEAVY. Justin's songwriting fare tends toward the capricious and frivolous. It's a different flavor.

[@kwakgreen]

He hasn't got Freddies range.

[@alexgreenwood404]

My word. I'd have cried with pure joy if I saw Brian play with the Darkness. The people there are so lucky

[@lunarstablos]

Literally the first and only time I've ever heard Brian May swear!

[@davidb5173]

Justin has one of the most powerful falsetto voices I've ever heard. Unbelievable

[@philp4415]

This generations Queen

[@hdr2540]

The red special's sound is unmistakable. Even without watching the video I would have known it.

[@nikytamayo]

Very few guitarists have such a distinctive tone...

[@dorzsboss]

It is good to see how happy Brian is playing hard rock/metal again. It was always his genre.

[@Martin2307]

That's called being ROCKSTARS! Their fans enjoying the music and the DARKNESS truly enjoying playing their music. Some artists get bored with their own material sometimes just from sheer repetition and their performance becomes LACK LUSTER but not the DARKNESS! CHEERS FROM CALI!!!

[@sixsentsoldiers]

May following the vocal line in the pre chorus is BRILLIANT

[@carlhungus2521]

The Darkness are so amazing that the one and only Brian May, a proper legend, was so giddy and even dropping F-bombs

[@ashton3404]

Rock n Roll at its fucking finest... there are no words that describe how good this is.

[@CLT4092]

AmbitionZ amen brother

[@mustaine8666]

Great stuff... who doesn't love seeing Brian play no matter how old he gets.

[@KoolKatDave]

Brilliant! Freddie M. would have loved these guys!

[@georgeshannon1128]

2023 anybody?? Imagine being the best band in the world (After Queen) and Getting Sir' Brian fucking May playing your song?? OYF 😍😍😍

[@DavidSush1]

WOW! Brian May willingly -- and gleefully -- performing a Darkness classic with the Darkness! Everything is Brian May A-OK!

[@trishmarsh1968]

His falsetto is heavenly!!!

[@lakervoxx597]

DH is such a beast! There's so much tone and volume under his finger tips.

[@coreybartos125]

i would hug brian may

[@forestboy52]

I love how fast they play this. All out full commitment. Pure ROCK !!

[@JohnAllanification]

Brian's happy

[@KatieCatWalker]

he's truly happy.

[@mickjoseph9431]

God Damn, cant believe I've never seen this before until now!!!!

[@manalcali153]

Mick Joseph me either

[@daeminwoo]

OH MY GOD IT'S BRIAN FUCKING MAY

[@jeremyhoffman6187]

You know you fucking kick ass when a renowned Astrophysicist plays lead guitar for you.

[@heartsbill8014]

Can't get enough of Brian's last solo. He's so amazing!!

[@Punkrocker3011]

omg im in awe brian may + the darkness = EPICNESS!!!!

[@absolutely_senna]

Beautiful solo by Brian at the end. I love this band, I love Queen and I love Brian May. Queen & Darkness...we won't have these 2 band anymore on Earth again. Fuckin' love em!!

[@ZTargeting]

The lead singer is so talented.

[@pabloernestosanabriavillar2422]

Brian May the best .....

[@lunarstablos]

Great taste in music actually. Just Brian is so eloquent, I've never heard him swear like that before

[@freethrice]

Huge Queen fan here, and I have. Ain't it Awesome!

[@andreo.7633]

When did he swear here??

[@lunarstablos]

​@@andreo.7633 Errrr quite blatantly at 00:11

[@dirtymuleracing5321]

Thanks, THIS IS ROCK’N’ROLL

[@JoshuaC0rbit]

Everything you love about rock, none of what you don't.

[@queennutty]

OH MY GOD I NEVER HEARD HIM SWEAR LIKE THAT FUCKING HELL LOL

[@tommyo777]

I'm so glad i found this

[@alfredtuy]

Omg lgonna cry... may and the darkness together....

[@sheydoll]

I have been infatuated with them/Justin for about a month now. Never heard of them b4, now I can't get enough ❤️❤️

[@iRock613]

[@DC-ms5ip]

dr. brian may... cursed. i have LIVED!

[@jamiemunns2180]

David Clarke when?

[@salvadorgemino9700]

Brian May rocks and the boys...

[@aquanet2]

How do you all not completely shit yourselves knowing Brian May even knows your band's name, let along joining you on stage playing one of YOUR songs. Talk about surreal. I couldnt even imagine it. God Bless and see you in Boston!!

[@kbrinson85]

love the MAY solo at the end ...when he hit that last bend i had to say outloud : "YES!!!"

[@lauroneto3360]

Man I am so freaking HAPPY!!!

[@JLeonSarmiento]

it's wonderful to see the differences in each guitarists approach to soloing on this song. just amazing.

[@tattoojo91]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Dr Brian May!

[@alterego1]

I can’t even imagine getting to play with Brian May. Too awesome!

[@jondunmore4268]

...and Brian May loving to play with YOU...

[@pjhunton]

Epic performance

[@tracyvalentine-williams9010]

I'm, for one, very happy that The Darkness are together & are conquering the world together! Very excited that Dr Brian May & his Red Special are performing with them! Dr. May is my fav guitarist, etc.!

[@DrambuieOnTheRocks]

Awesome, the legendary Brian May with these guys!

[@juanagosta3689]

este grupo es asombroso, y si parece queen en su mejor momento, y que decir del maestro brian may exelente combinacion, volvio el buen rock

[@robertofrega3158]

Mammamia!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@glowingmolecule]

Oh, I love you, guys, I love you, Brian, I love you, I love you, I love you

[@waranghira]

Was waiting for a Brian May solo, and glad that they did give him one.

[@raquelsnt]

Absolutely wonderful!

[@rfptube]

THIS IS SHEER PERFECTION!

[@cynthiajohns0n442]

Brian Mays is just so amazing here! As always😊

[@MrPascalounet]

So glad they re back!!!!!

[@DoMw94]

Jesus fucking christ KZbin recommendations peaked tonight... What a performance!

[@arekpocicki5681]

bless

[@vivmack4810]

So stoked to find this. The first time I heard the Darkness, the guitar work reminded me of Brian May ....and here they are together on stage.

[@chrishargreaves8016]

Is Justin Hawkins the only guy in the world cool enough to pull off wearing a catsuit? Not only that, a FLAMBOYANT catsuit?

[@primusdude87]

Christopher Hargreaves I believe he took inspiration from his hero Freddie Mercury.

[@chrishargreaves8016]

I don't think I ever saw Freddie wear a catsuit. I know he wore leotards like in the Breat Pretender.

[@jeremyhoffman6187]

Christopher Hargreaves Truly Justin is the real life incarnate of Dr Rockzo, The Rock n Roll Clown in every epic sense of it's meaning.

[@rikkifknrobin]

freddie mercury, david bowie, elton john, tommy lee, shall i keep going?

[@lollsazz]

@@rikkifknrobin I don't think Elton John ever looked goo in them 😐

[@wutknut82]

It’s growing on me that I believe in a thing called love might be the best song ever written. 🤘

[@gvonpaul]

How cool is that? Jamming with Brian May.

[@bevhatle]

What a great show! Can’t wait to see you in Houston on your 2022 tour✌️

[@bevhatle]

I’m still buzzing and on fire from last night! Great show in Houston! What an awesome magnificent experience. I was a first time Darkness virgin. I lost my voice screaming and the metatarsals of my feet are sore from jumping up and down. You guys brought it big time! Thank you from a very satisfied new fan! ✌️

[@fourbypete]

Wow this is better than all my Birthdays combined! I can't believe that is Brian May! He looks old but Damn he rocks hard! And finally, what a great remix of I believe in a thing...

[@miaschu8175]

fourbypete I was there for my birthday! Thanks to my daughter for such an awesome present 😊

[@jacobhenson1811]
