Testify · 09 Mar 2004, 21:47

i think they is ok

*AndyK* · 09 Mar 2004, 22:00

another one for off topic........

Rob The Badger · 09 Mar 2004, 23:29

Anyone who votes 'no' needs to buy themselves a sense of humour. . .and a pair of ears.

Caz · 10 Mar 2004, 00:42

I like them ..... but i got to say that as Leanne likes them

*Remembers the original glam rock type days .... ahhhhh memories*

black dog · 10 Mar 2004, 00:45

Don't really listen to the radio so I haven't really heard any of their music but the little bit I did hear I wasn't that impressed with. Have decided not to vote as I haven't heard enough to make an opinion.

Normally listen to CD's in the car

Keep Rocking · 10 Mar 2004, 10:19

They were the opening group for Meat in Germany; so I have seen them three times. I think they are a bunch of very crazy people :) But the music is nothing I want to hear all day- you have to be in a special mood to listen to them (drunk?

)

scotty · 10 Mar 2004, 17:52

I'm going to vote NO as I grew up with the likes of Iron Maiden and then Guns N Roses and Metallica and they to me are real rock bands.
I'm not a great lover of men singing high pitch! maybe i'm just getting old!!

Although I am open to change so watch this space!

airhead · 10 Mar 2004, 18:01

They sing a little too much like the genius rock band known as queen for my liking.

Rob The Badger · 10 Mar 2004, 20:08

I don't get the Queen references, personally. Anyway, Queen were hardly genius. . .

Heli · 10 Mar 2004, 20:38

I like Queen!! Some good tunes, and their stage presence were amazing!!

Rob The Badger · 10 Mar 2004, 20:40

I agree with everything Heli just said. However, Brian Wilson is a genius, Mercury was not.

Brian May dear!! Brian MAY!!!!

RSG · 12 Mar 2004, 04:20

Mercury had some great vocals! Loved to hear him sing, still do. Brian May, is a nice singer too, but more of a great writer.

Here is a Didja know?

Didja know that Brian May worked with Meat in I believe 1986 to do a song called, "A Time For Heroes."

Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys) was a genius, Brian May (Queen) was not.

Louise · 12 Mar 2004, 12:50

I think the Darkness are fantastic and Justin can be my toyboy anyday! (not that there's that much difference in our ages!)

Weezy · 12 Mar 2004, 14:44

The Darkness Rock!!

Louise

Mr Loaf · 12 Mar 2004, 14:45

Darkness are great. It is an album I listen to quite regularly.

As for the Queen debate, Freddie Mercury was definately a genius. One of the greatest vocalists of our time. And I really do think that Brian May is one of the best guitarists anyone could ever listen to.

Sorry I was confused, i thought we were still talking about Queen!! lmao!!

Chris · 12 Mar 2004, 21:16

I really like the Darkness.

IMHO, Queen and Brian Wilson are both geniuses (geniii???).

Two random facts for you...

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody was thefirst song to have a video created specially for it. They invented the concept of MTV!!!

Brian May (the second best guitarist in the world after SlowHand) (married to Anite Dobson from Eastenders ya know!!) is a qualified Astronomer and regularly appears ont he Sky At Night with Sir Patrick Moore.

Related random fact - I was once at a meal with patrick Moore and will never forget him rearranging the cruet on the table to demonstate the theory of a Planetary Grand Cross!!!

scotty · 12 Mar 2004, 22:05

Tis one of the very few famous people i have ever met!!! I am allowed to drop names!!!

Caz · 14 Mar 2004, 14:49

Queen are one of the few bands I've ever regretted NOT seeing live. Only other one was Meat, but I remedied that twice in January

Not sure if there are any others around that I would actually PAY good money to go and see at the moment.
