The Darkness have told American radio station KIIS that Coldplay guitarist Jon Buckland's musical ability is "inadequate".
Justin explained, "I like the songs but they have an inadequate guitarist. He wouldn't cut the mustard in Whitesnake."
And if you're into gossip, a quick trawl of the web will reveal that what seemed like a PR match made in a hi-rise boardroom (to break Coldplay in America), Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, is actually a real relationship and that the lanky blonde is up the duff/has a bun in the oven. They're not married yet so their kid could very well be a proper 'bastard'. Expect the well-timed announcement of their marriage to coincide with the next Coldplay single/Gwyneth's next movie.
In loosely-related news, it has been revealed that Justin Hawkins was recently held at JFK airport in New York for two hours because the police were looking for a wanted criminal called Justin Hawkins. Apparently Justin bears an uncanny resemblance to the alleged criminal. However, he was on tour in the UK on July 4th when the crime took place. DiS is not sure what he was accused of doing - suggestions on a postcard...

Justin Hawkins wouldn't cut the mustard in any band other than a novelty bunch of middle-aged men.
Sorft Cnuts
I don't think either of them would win
A) Hawkins would be too busy either flashing to nearby cameras or posing to the crowd.
B) Martin's a pacifist, yesno?

Buckland wouldn't cut the mustard?
Yeah, 'cos he would refuse to play shite hair metal riffs.
I used to kinda like the Darkness for their whole "underdog" success story.
But I'll be damned if Hawkins isn't a complete prick. He shoots his mouth off at other artists given even the slightest opportunity. The modicum of success The Darkness have achieved in comparison with Coldplay is laughable...especially when Hawkins is strutting round like he's Mick Jagger.
Grow up Hawkins...your face looks like it stepped on a dog turd.
(queue a bunch of geeks who think its cool to hate Coldplay for having big record sales)

I reckon he's just taking the mick....................
Re: Buckland wouldn't cut the mustard?
more like queue a much larger group who have largely indifference to coldplay's lowest common denominator, pleasant, chicken and beans strum.

Cutting the mustard in Whitesnake is like being renowned as the best striker in the Faroe Islands international squad.

I don't hate Coldplay for being successful, just that they make uninmaginative indie music. And anyway I like gossip.
Isn't Chris Martin a bit sad to write *make trade fair* on his hand in felt-tip? He could have least had a tatoo if he gave a fuck.

"your face looks like it stepped on a dog turd."
and jagger looks like a sex god does he? I'm glad that you care about what REALLY matters in music.
Hawkins 'shoots off' because he has a view and doesn't like all the bullshit in the industry.
I'd listen to Coldplay, but, like, they aren't fit enough.

Anyone else think that The Darkness have kinda painted themselves into a corner with the approach they've taken. Sure, when they were up-and-coming they were damned exciting, but the joke's starting to run out. They need to really pull a bastard of a second album out of the Bag to continue being the chart-botherers they currently are.
Oh, and well Done Mr. Martin, finally theres proof that you really do get something out of college (albeit totally unrelated to your course)

Ahhh yes
the considered opinion of FLS...thanks for being here.
Listen, my comment was a reaction to Hawkins perjorative outburst...read between the lines and you'll see my slagging off was tongue in cheek..."you don't play guitar as well as whitesnake"..."your face looks like a sack piss".
A childish reaction to an article about a child.
Now, if the article was a treatise on the merit of either bands songwriting abilities I would be TALKING about the music.
PS If someone had a gun to my head and told to bone Hawkins or Jagger....I'd make the fella give me a rendition of Angie while I was boning him.

I'm still waiting for the Darkness ot pull out a first great album, let alone cultivating expectations of future excellence...
Come on now!!!
At least Coldplay make great music, who cares if Jonny is an inadequate guitarist (which he isn't), he isn't even trying to "cut the mustard in Whitesnake".
When The Darkness write a record that is actually good then will be the time to comment on other people.
Does anyone truly like The Darkness or did one person admit it and everyone else didn't want to be left out, cause that's what it's starting to sound like.
P.S. It's all about the music, man, who cares if Gwynnies preggers, it has nothing to do with anything!

My reaction to this article is
1. What is the point of it?
2. Who gives a fuck?

Ooooh! Cynicism! I like! I like a lot!!
Re: Suspected criminals The Darkness slate daddies-to-be Coldplay.
I agree with your reaction but would also like to add.
They are both shit bands. For fucks sake The Darkness supported Robbie Williams, thats about their level 10-14 year old girls with no idea.
As for Coldplay, my mum listens to them so they must be bland as her other favourite is Sir Cliff Richard, and I have been told by a friend that they play Parachutes in the local nusery to make all the hyperactive kids go to sleep.

Re: Suspected criminals The Darkness slate daddies-to-be Coldplay.
If i thought you knew anything about good music i'd argue with you...
Re: Come on now!!!
I agree with you that coldplay rule. However i like the darkness. If im just on my way out to the pub or off out, i like listening to some sweeeeeet guitar solo's screaming in my ear. Be honest - who doesnt?
The darkness never said that Coldplay themselves were crap. They merely said their guitarist was not good enough for the band. Oh well, atleast you didnt slate coldplay too like some complete tosser decided to do. I ask you, whats the point in posting a reply on a forum in which the topic is two bands you dont like???????? The only explanation is he has way too much time....

Re: And....
I couldn't agree more - they are a No. 2 band.

All of you who are slagging off The Darkness; have any of you actually seen them? Have you been to a gig? I'm guessing not because you'd realise that their musical ability and showmanship is absolutly amazing. And as for middle aged; 32, 28, 26 and 26. People tend to live a bit longer these days.
10-14 year old fans only-if you'd been to a gig you'd see there are fans both much younger and older than 10-14.
The only reason other bands have to pussyfoot around each other is for fear of upsetting people; they need all the fans they can get 'cos they can't rely on their music for fans. The Darkness aren't manufactured crap, they're origional, they write their own stuff and above all they really believe in what they do and they enjoy it. I doubt they're really bothered over a few people here who think their shit 'cos they know they're not, as do the millions who have bought their music and are going to the sell out tour!

Listening to The D**kness can do this to your brain.

But at least I'm smiling and the music I listen to doesn't make me want to knaw off my own ear.

Did someone just say the Darkness were original?
Re: And....
Look Tibley - Get Justified!
At least these guys are going out there and doing something different, and providing us with some entertainment!
Incidently Tibley,
Bowie, Jagger and Richards are all middle aged men - and the novelty still hasn't worn off.
