Further Darkness doom and gloom: band gets dropped

that would hurt, that would hurt a lot.

I liked The Darkness, I liked the songs. I'm probably the only person who visits this site that either does or would admit to it but nevermind. But to carry on without Justin is surely not an option, even to the deluded.

and Lil' Chris went to the same school donchaknow.

I may look ecstatic, but inside I'm a sad clown.

you don't think the music is good enough to stand on it's own without Hawkins' *ahem* singing...

well if that's what the fans think then no wonder they were dropped.

Isn't the new singer/bassist just a replacement for the original bassist anyway?

Shit as they say does happen.

Rather than get to upset about it they should be grateful that they were at one time successful, touring the world, making some cash, making a lot of people happy and the rest of all that showbiz stuff which mere mortals like myself will never experience.
They must of known it was never going to last and should be chuffed about how far they got.

Now working as a Superhero, putting the cess in success.

Whether the others carry on as The Darkness is debatable. I don't think they could carry on and be taken seriously, despite being good musicians, simply because they'll always be associated with Justin's public persona. Many bands have been more successful after changing singer (AC/DC, Faith No More, Black Flag, er... Genesis) but none of them has been quite so drastically pigeonholed as these guys. They should invest the spoils of the last 3 years in blue chip stock and go live on a farm before they piss it all up the wall in the face of rejection and frustration.

When I say Maiden - I mean't the change from DiAnno to Dickinson, not Dickinson to Blaze Bayley! hahaha And Van Hagar was and should always be viewed as an abomination.

Sure he wasn't talking about Diano - Dickinson?

It'll be a sun exclusive in 2 years time.
