This was brought to my attention:


JustinHawkins

On my bed with my bad foot elevated listening to Chinese Democracy.
about 3 hours ago from web



For those who are not familiar with Justin, he used to be in The Darkness. Who played at Rock In Rio - Lisbon in 2006, just before GN'R.

Didn't that guy have some serious throat problems or something just when The Darkness were really starting to take off?

Maybe not, from wikipedia

In October 2006, Hawkins left The Darkness[2]. Although drug and alcohol problems were initially cited as the main reason, later on national television, Hawkins would claim that he had grown tired of the constant routine of the band, recording and promoting an album, going on tours for months, back in the studio, etc. which he considered "monotonous and boring" and "could not understand how bands like the Rolling Stones could sustain it".

Nice to know he has good taste.

I'm still a huge fan of The Darkness! It's such a shame the band broke up.  Cry

Yes, he had. It was something like Gastroesophageal reflux disease...

Do you believe everything you type?

Chinese Democracy was partly written by Josh Freese who left the band in 2000.

Three years before the world heard The Darkness' debut album.

The song was also performed live years before the world heard of The Darkness.

Jarmo, ya silly goose!  Don't you know Axl has a time machine?  It's been well-documented that he and the members of the band travel into the future to steal music.  I thought everybody knew this!  Grin

I remember reading the Darkness aplogized to fans for playing crappy new songs (at the time) live.... They broke up not to long after that


Didnt GNR take a shot a these guys in a promo video a few years back (promo for Greatest Hits maybe), buy highlighting "nevermind the darkness", or something like that?

/jarmo
They were on stage when Scott and I arrived at Rio, wasn't familiar with them at all, but thought they were pretty decent, but unique in my mind.  I realize making music and touring must be major, but I haven't necessarily ever heard of a "rocker" not enjoying the process in which it takes to do so Sad.

That must've been Christos...I highly doubt you are following Justin Hawkins on Twitter  hihi

I saw them in 2004 in Madrid. Fun show, nothing really amazing, but entertaining. " I believe in a thing call love" is such a Sing Star anthem over here.
