The Darkness - Welcome Tae Glasgae (Official Audio)

[@rachel.wilson]

Songs like this are why we love The Darkness!

[@Twirlyhead]

That and an oversensitivity to light.

[@colinmackean1714]

As a Glaswegian Darkness fan that is seeing you in December at the Barrowland, thank you for this. 🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

[@jamesritzman6269]

This song - just a monster riff, solo, and hits hard. Great album opener!

[@RealWoesh]

YES, the return of bagpipes in The Darkness! Edit: gonna have to listen to Hazel Eyes now.

[@caitlinerin]

Hazel eyes is top tier 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RealWoesh]

@@caitlinerin careful now, or I will have to travel with thee For to see your folks in Scotland With their blessing, on one knee I shall ask for your left hand

[@jc.1191]

Damn right. Perfect song on a great album.

[@slimer1984]

Hazel eyes is such a good song

[@Arianamarie420]

The ABSOLUTE GREATEST live show I ever witnessed! And I've seen Kiss, Iron Maiden and countless rock festivals. Awesome band and pretty damn decent gents all around!

[@rneoman]

The show is to compensate for the poor music.

[@sinnertrain7405]

That guitar solo is so bonkers outstanding that I need to listen this song more, not to mention that monster riff.

[@jc.1191]

He probably was playing on 2 vacuum cleaners. Lol

[@PatrickJWenzel]

Not since It’s A Long Way To The Top have I heard pipes in a rock song. Brilliant.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

Cannot stop playing this.

[@conahscreations]

It's a crime against humanity how short this track is. We need more, MORE I SAY

[@animalistic670]

Yeah but you can watch the whole thing and not trigger any ads before clicking on another Darkness song.

[@ShreddieMurphyy]

MOARRRRRRRRR

[@lilyjenkins6274]

A fantastic opening to a brilliant album!

[@foofy14]

Absolute belter, this was class live!!

[@bucketlistbramhalls6833]

What an absolute mega track!!! Can't wait to see this live in a few days!!!

[@pckmathieson]

The whole album is a work of art 👌.. It's a love thang 😀 😀 Great track .. Roll on Dec 9th / Glasgow Barrowlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Robert-rl7rd]

Barras

[@jamiefoyers2800]

Got the album yesterday on my travels and noticed this was on it!. Crazy man!.

[@brokenbiome8505]

this the best song I heard in a long time. Killa track!

[@kellyeishmael1283]

I keep coming back to this one! It's so good!

[@csdonini]

One of my favourites from the new album! you guys are legends.

[@burnedoils]

excellant song

[@christopherwake2024]

Love it! This is a real rock band that sounds epic recorded and live.

[@deathmachine808]

Wish you every success. Great to see how Justin turned it around

[@loveluvmusic]

🖤🔥Vibin the guitar riffs 🔥🔥🔥

[@djuengst2000]

I love it. This one is a banger😊

[@theheavylemons]

Agree - the food is ok. Saw you at the O2 in 2012, one of my favourite gigs.

[@GazRossatron]

Wow 🤩

[@silverkitty2503]

yes

[@fioramaggio.official]

Perfection

[@christianmonteith8568]

Best rock band of all time.

[@barristophilliesiii5863]

Amazing!!

[@invernessfan3017]

Cool song.

[@englishkiwi3051]

Seeing them in Auckland next month woop!

[@finlaymacdougall6393]

That riff and the solo are proper face melting! 🤣🤟

[@ghurley2269]

Wonderful to have them back, and what an opener! Superb :)

[@templerschreck5525]

Nice to hear news from you.

[@silverkitty2503]

the food is ...ok

[@scottjames1794]

Great 🤘

[@gregory98766]

Love the riff on this song

[@l.anders8867]

Beautifully bonkers soundscape that only The Darkness can create and perform to perfection. At one point of the song, I thought heard the sonic cousin Royal Blood Typhoon.

[@theoldgoatwildfireband]

Love the riff - makes me want to go ta glasgae

[@Robert-rl7rd]

It’s Glesga, no one says “Glasgay”

[@theoldgoatwildfireband]

@@Robert-rl7rd haha I know my Scottish family would never forgive me if I said that to them

[@progressivedemagogue8480]

Sick

[@fd9717]

Now this is a night child of both Easter Is Cancelled and Motorheart. The unexpected but streamlined turn at 0:50 takes musicians with PhD.

[@jabber67]

Love it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

[@DesMoinesHomeDeals]

This song absolutely ROCKS!! But we all have one request……Extend the song. It cuts off way too soon. We need more of that slammin rock for at least another minute to minute 30

[@iyinyeremia]

killer!!!

[@jefft8018]

Can't wait to hear that one live!

[@MalkyMcMillan]

Don't let the bells end!

[@jc.1191]

🤘

[@pulse4503]

Another hard rock gem from the lads

[@AllanScott28]

Oh aye pal, this fire! 🔥🎶

[@fraros]

The "nae bother" kills me every time 😂

[@DoMw94]

Everyone moaning about the pronunciation, lighten up! 😂 If you read what they've said about the song (or know anything about the band), you'll realise it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek

[@rebeccahenney7662]

Omg love these guys 😍 can't wait to see them live again

[@StuartSeaton]

Welcome tae Glasgae? Or Glasgay? I think they meant Glesga, right?

[@whatascunner]

Don't ask me why I get a surge of national pride at the mention of the M74. I just do.

[@sebbach3747]

Ruled by the Brits

[@jc.1191]

He mentioned gorgeous girls. That's a bigger win. Lol

[@rustybuckets07]

@@jc.1191 He said 'horses'. I'm sure of it.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

Sadly its a highlight 😂😂😂

[@duncankayartwork]

It’s just a cracking road.

[@dinkduckworth1864]

Come to the United States! Atlanta Ga

[@RANDYLIZARD]

Come back to Adelaide! Missed you last time due to the covid lockdown...seen you everytime you have came here!

[@stevieraywatson]

The darkness needs to come back down under and save us from all the hipsters and their rap crap. I still "believe in a thing called love" ❤ Cause we are the "last of our kind"

[@Lindscaldwell1]

less than 30 seconds in... I love you guys so much

[@rositadamiani]

💋💋💋wow😍😍😍😍

[@hoosfoosfull]

The only problem with this song is that it is too short.

[@FRANANGELICOONA]

The Darkness!

[@googa319]

I hit that M74 I'm heading for The city that I Truly adore The women are gorgeous And the food is ok I cannae wait tae be in ye Glasgae Pride of Scotland Take me back Envy of the sassenach Welcome Tae Glasgae Welcome tae Glasgae Regard my curriculum vitae You'll see I've had the pleasure to play King Tuts, Barrowlands, Academay In my favourite citay Welcome Tae Glasgae Welcome tae Glasgae Nay bother

[@craigeboy70]

Glasgae , Glesga mate :D

[@aicram62]

OK JD do that thing you do when you name the song that this sounds like? I know I've heard this before.

[@RikFlick]

How could you contrive such an ingratiating song to a city but pronounce the name in a way only English comedians do..?? That's a hell of an achievement.

[@rmca11]

GLESGA

[@jimbomac555]

Because it’s funny i suspect. The Darkness always have a good sense of humour.

[@gaynorduncan9058]

Belter!❤❤

[@elwinnegreenleaf]

🍀🍁🌹💖🤘

[@j1m909]

You formed on the day I was born, love this band since I was 13

[@caitlinerin]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ✌🏻

[@jocky300]

Is this real?

[@mutee333]

This riff bulldozes, surprised to find the song is in Drop D. I thought The Darkness did standard tuning mostly.

[@franciscojoseduroguio]

Mix of the clásic Glam and innovación psicodelia rock-metal fantástico work guys ;top,very very top ❤💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤘💪

[@georgemckendrickbryce9863]

That's fucking epic, hells yes The Darkness! \m/ Also, Glesgae though ...but fuck it lol.

[@cryofthezapoletes]

It's "Glesga" lads. Mon tae fuck eh. Decent effort but. Seen youse in all three venues mentioned in the lyrics. 💪

[@JJ-ic3op]

It's a joke; they're not local, they're trying to be cool calling the city as a native would but getting it hopelessly wrong. Also, I suspect, harder to get anything to rhyme with 'Glesga'.

[@Robert-rl7rd]

Nobody pronounces it “Glasgae” it’s “Glesga”

[@StuartSeaton]

Unless they're refering to the GlasGay Festival - I wonder if they realise yet they've made a momunmental cock up with the title of this song?

[@Robert-rl7rd]

It's just English people trying to sound Scottish. Happens all the time. I've yet to hear one English person pronounce Glesga correctly ​@StuartSeaton

[@MrBillybonkers]

Dear God - nobody that lives here calls it that! Sold their souls to an english devil....

[@jc.1191]

Great day whenever the darkness drops an album sparing the world from the evil forces of 💩 music.

[@Rocksarum]

🫶

[@slxpictures]

ffs, their bassist is literally Scottish, I'm pretty sure he'd have corrected them by now if they were sincerely pronouncing it wrong 😂

[@Chateaulait]

Good track, pity about the pronunciation of Glezga 🤣

[@stevelibby6852]

Getting DHL notices the pre order is due to arrive any day now.

[@sumwan2042]

If I ever see you in Glasgow you're getting chibbed

[@soshedances019]

You can see them tonight at the barrowlands :D

[@TheXitone]

You must be fekin jokin man 🤣 get tae ...if it wisnae so shite it'd be offensive 🤣

[@Twirlyhead]

Has nobody else noticed it is a Guns N' Roses humorous pastiche.

[@AngelOfSuburbiaTV]

We don't pronounce it like that! Glesca. Music's good but.

[@StevieBluenoseScott]

Should be Glesga

[@LeonEvans_Guyver1]

Been listening to early Megadeth recently have we Justin? 👍👍👍😬😬😬🤘🤘🤘

[@hamishhart8870]

Never heard a wegie call it glasgae it's glesga English people trying to do a Scottish accent is fuckin awful this is mega cringe haha

[@ewanofscotland]

That pronounciation of Glasgow is insulting.

[@pmac2597]

Glasgay ? Sasenach shit

[@melanierhianna]

You're mixing your brethenic and gaelic celtic. Glasgow comes from Glas-cau meaning green hollow from Brethenic celtic but Saesenach comes from Gaelic celtic. Its Saesneg shit!

[@melanierhianna]

That region used to be edge of the Hen Ogledd ("Old North") before the gaelic celts came across from the Isle of Man. The Picts spoke Brethenic Celtic, the people of the newer Dâl Riata spoke Irish which became Scots Gaelic.

[@stephenhepworth3113]

All i can say is, i'd rather listen to this than the usual drivel on the radio, but thats not really a compliment. They seem to put out ten mediocre songs for every brilliant song. oh well....

[@jambojamberson2971]

Probably the worst thing I've ever heard. Dreadful.

[@virupakshawalla5734]

That's truly awful heid the ba. The foods nae bad 😂. Bob Dylan Nobel doesn't look as daft in contrast to that .

[@aworldofpaine8093]

Absolute guff. Welcome tae the end ae yer career.
