That bassplayer is the most bassplayer a bassplayer can be.

[@mateonevesmartel1175]

his bass sounds very bassy

[@jacobcavazos6594]

I'm glad he's taken such good care of his voice over the years!! Cheers!

[@user-yq8gb9xo5f]

tf do you mean his high highs sound like ass

[@mudcast]

Voice? The guys is 50 and is looking healthier than most 20 year olds!

[@user-yq8gb9xo5f]

wtf no he doesn´t look healthy at all lol@@mudcast

[@mercuryrising2887]

​@@user-yq8gb9xo5fHow so? He's in excellent shape, you know how hard it is to get a six pack? Justin is ripped.

[@caprise-music6722]

@@user-yq8gb9xo5f yes he sure does. Compare him to Pete Doherty for example, then you might understand how wrong you are lol

[@skullhorse2286]

Justin is nearly 50 years old and looks and sounds like he's in his 30s. absolutely incredible !

[@kevinwilson455]

Living a healthy lifestyle by all accounts.

[@petermcdonna4160]

When he was in his 30s he looked like he was pushing 50. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JARoss-gq2cd]

Yeah, getting sober at the right time helped my man out so much. Love to see it.

[@pbplauralfilms]

A vegan diet and a distinct lack of skag will do wonders for a man

Pretty damn rare for a rock star to hold up that well 20 years later.

[@MardiPlays]

I really didn't expect this was TRULY 2024. omg wtf with these dudes, they look AND SOUND almost the same as their 00's era. Prettydamngood performance! I would love to see The Darkness live. They really rock hard.

Justin!! Looking and sounding better than ever! Amazing.

Damn..that’s impressive!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

I fucking love this band so much. Back when they first came out I was working overnights at Wal-Mart and our manager would let us take radios from electronics and play whatever we wanted. I'd blast their albums and it would help me through all those shitty nights.

[@theo9436]

Wow, there are still good musicians out there!

[@lowbudge007]

Band is great. Justin is awesome. Glad they still kicking ass!

[@crunkycrunker]

Remarkable how good these sound after all these years, and with the song at full speed too.

[@stevechaffey9953]

A great concert - the best I have ever seen!

[@traviskitchen3252]

Wow he’s looking and sounding amazing

[@olonoli]

justin is seen as singer but he is also an amazing guitar player !!! n yeah has a lot of experience but he makes it look so freaking easy !!!

[@ivette22]

It's so nice to see them having so much fun on stage ❤

[@TenaciousDanzig]

The Darkness sounding fantastic!

[@IgorBazelan]

The noise gate on Justin's guitar is doing the work of its life

[@jitsezonneveld7546]

he switches to the neck pick-up where he has his volume pot turned down. Once he's going to play he switches back to the bridge pickup where he has his volume pot full open. No noise-gate needed just a flick on the switch and you're good to go.

[@callumfriend2523]

Justin absolutely sends it in every performance!

[@radium05]

Been following Justin's channel a lot over the last couple of years and haven't seen any recent performances apart from the Taylor Hawkins tribute shows. But man. Justin is sharp. And Rufus hits hard!

[@joty6331]

Greetings from Poland

[@khairulnizam9097]

Rock never die 🤘🤘

[@themagic8481]

Reminds of the days of yesteryear when I was at festivals like this. The Darkness have still got it and are still very underrated. Top chaps.

[@henrygale7846]

Justin rocks harrrddddd

[@Filthy_Rich_556]

This wasn't exactly my style, but I will not argue that this dude absolutely rips! Killer vocals, and a shredder.

[@davidwade5807]

Caught them on MORC cruise recently. They are very hard in concert. Straight up rock.

I want to see the darkness so bad!

[@killbotone6210]

Really happy for them. I wasn't a huge fan back in the day but they were chewed up by an uncaring music industry and a public who were conned into thinking they were just a novelty act.

[@juliabobin446]

Same! I really wanted to go but couldn't get up North for it. Had a couple of younger mates from work go and when I told them I was jealous as I wanted to see The Darkness they looked at me blankly and said 'who?'. Ingrates!

@@juliabobin446 haha terrible! How can you NOT know the Darkness! lol

He is such an amazing singer. I toned up my falsetto because of singers like justin. I had the range needed to refine and power up. Song is a GREAT practice track for any looking for power and very strong highs.

[@user-dz8wc9sr5i]

I remember this song and band coming out of nowhere in the early 2000s amidst the emo and indy sleaze trends. Completely unlike anything else going on at the time and they still hold up after all these years.

[@EliaszPimpicki]

concert in tazmania!

[@licosfera]

I used to listen to this song 15 years ago and it still raises dead people today /,,/-

Justin Hawkins is the kind of rock star that I'll gladly fail to explain to my kids and then lean back another decade to experience their inevitable revelation.

Caraca... o Nando Reis virou baixista dos caras kkkk

[@NightshaderiderX]

I just have to say this song sounds better on a gibson les paul which was the guitar model they used to record it. Idk why justin stopped using his characteristic white one.

[@raymon8044]

Not sure why Justin stopped playing the white Custom but I'm pretty sure Dan still mainly plays the actual same Les Paul standard he played back then, his back up is only a few months apart from when they were made because he likes the specific specs of that period his main guitar was made. But I agree, I can't picture Justin play anything else but the white Customs or one of those sparkled ones with the flame inlays on the fretboard Gibson made for him.

[@globalnova]

this looks way lighter to carry around. what it is i don't know but it looks cool
