The Darkness' Death Threats

Reports are circulating that The Darkness' Justin Hawkins has received death threats.
The spandex-clad twit, sorry, titan, apparently received a nasty letter shortly after shooting his mouth off at The Brits. Police have confirmed that they are taking matters seriously, and are investigating a 28 year-old man and woman. Ooh and, indeed, err.
Security around the all-conquering rock band has been stepped up. Thom and Johnny from Radiohead haven't been seen writing any letters of late, so DiS reckons they can be ruled out of the equation.

The Darkness' Death Threats
Apparently the letters were received just before the Brit Awards (source: BBC News) so it wasn't as a result of anything that happened that night...

karma dude, karma...

Didn't watch it? What did he say?
The Darkness' Death Threats
He said they were the best band in Britain, which caused outrage amongst followers of good taste everywhere.
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
Amen to that.
I think there's a lot of benefit a good shooting would do for Justin Hawkins.

Yeah...but I read in Metro that none other than David Lee Roth likes The Darkness. (Someone tell PW!!!!)
Press backlash
So I guess what they say IS true... the press build 'em up for being post stadium rock ironic cool... then call them twats for being post stadium rock ironic cool.
'Oh no but we hated them from the start!' ...who exactly ARE the twats here?

Re: Press backlash
I am.
Although I dislike them more for their personalities rather than the music, which is, I suppose, humourous enough. Justin really should keep his trap shut though when he's not singing.

The Real Darkness Story
I think you've overlooked the really important story here, The Darkness set to release a football song....

Re: Press backlash
I'll admit i thought, and still do think, Growing on Me was one of the best singles of last year.
But the rest of the album's mostly very average.
And 'I Believe In A Thing Called Love' got very annoying after like 3 listens.

oh for gods sake! stop pretending you don't like them and are so 'indier than thou' they write good fun songs, and don't take themselves seriously, a refeshing change. surely they should be applauded for that alone. and the musicianship is good, regardless of the fact they are pompy glamrock rip off merchants. i like them. and i think people who say they don't are merely trying to be 'different' or 'indie' or 'alternative' get out from your own arses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Press backlash
And yet again it happens. DiS is a collection of numerous people around the country, one persons views does not represent DiS as a whole! Why can't people understand this concept?
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
The main reason I don't like them is because they play really, really, shit music. Apart from that and the fact that Justin Rat-features is a complete cunt, they're OK I suppose.
The Darkness' Death Threats
did anyone see on the 'pop' music channels when they were talking about the brits it was like'oh but the most electric performance was the darkness, showing exactly y they won the awards'...er did no one see muse's performance then?
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
Hair metal was shit then, is shit now and THAT is why I don't like them, end of!
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
Why should we HAVE to like them? Why does not liking them make us Indier-than-thou? That's just an insulting post.
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
Yeah, I'm not really in to Muse but you've got to give them credit for their performance at the Brits
The Darkness' Death Threats
I can see why others dont like them, but I do. They are an utterly amazing live act, and although there is nothing origional about theyre music, you cannot deny their showmanship. And Dan is a completly amazing guitarist. I alsoo find Justin strangly attractive, theres just something about a man in PVC....
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
Can we narrow that down to some men in PVC? PVC would not work for them all me thinks
The Darkness' Death Threats
im of the opinion that darkness are a good live act, but on record they are deeply average.
its their live act that made them come to the attention of most people across britain (glastonbury, then their interview with jo whiley after) and their reading and leads performances.
before that they were still simmering on the edge of becoming a massive uk act. (growing on me was released just before glastonbury last year?)
'i believe in a thing called love' was just overplayed to much in my opinion.

the darkness could be the shittest band ever. they have got about as much talent as Jorden (she probably plays the guitar better then they do as well) and are now in the same genre of music as 'busted' and 'pink'. fuk off u overrated freaks
The Darkness' Death Threats
no, i think all men im PVC look great, but only if they have a guitar and are screaming the words "you cunt" at an unrecignisable level. Spandex is good to tho...
And bw, shut up, justin and dan are amazing guitarists so pull your head out of your asre and embrace some talent! Plu you spelt Jordon wrong!

And another thing... Jordan has made a living out of doing the things she loves, and not alot else, it does take some talent to manage doing that. (and i realise that i also spelt jordan wrong, and i posted this to redeam myself!)
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
No you dont have to be up your own arse to recognise that the darkness are nothing more than a passing trend band a Spinal Tap for the noughties i for one am sick of them.
The Darkness' Death Threats
Showmen to the hilt, original groundbreaking act...zilch...something for the post-80's generation ;-)
Re: The Darkness' Death Threats
yes but muse are the biggest pile of wank end this side of limpbizkit
Ummm...
The Darkness is my favorite band (other than Queen)so...I think Justin has every right to say they are a good band.
Noo
That's Justin's solo work
Fuck you
That's all I have to say to you and your tasteless sense of music interests.
THEY ARE NOT A TREND
How many times to I have to say this to people?
Justin is friggin' sexy
I don't care what anybody says
I am going to...
Fuck you up for saying that.
