Heh. The Darkness. Their singer (if he can be called that)
sounds like the [censored] love child of Freddie Mercury and
Tiny Tim... The rest of the band sounds like Winger, or
maybe Ratt.

I don't know about the comment about the rest of the band.
If you can get past their singer (if he can be called
that) the music is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than
Winger or Ratt.

And therein lies the problem. I was kind of rockin' out to
the band until that abortion-turned-frontman opened his
mouth. Kind of ruins the whole thing.

Slack, you may or may not be ghey, but I will admit that the
song in the video is a far cry better than the tune by them
that gets airplay around here. I found that the band has a
website, and their video "A Thing Called Love" is there.

Here's a link:

The link's a monster, so you may have cut-and-paste to
deal with.

Listen to the tune, and watch the video. I'd not seen the
video before, but it actually makes me like the tune more-
maybe they are SOOO parodic that I'd missed the humor up
till now. Then again, maybe not.

I stand by the comparisons to Ratt or Winger. At about the
3:00 in the video See my other post) the band does that
obligatory hands-clapping-over-their-heads thing that I seem
to recall from too many hair band videos back when.

The high points of the video have to be right at the start
when the giant furry purple thing rubs the singer's package,
and at 2:18 in the video when he sings into a big red
vibrating massager as if it were a microphone. And then the
space octopus attacks...

Way, way ghey.

lol Frig'n classic! Now I know I like them... Those dudes
are so funny! Yeah, that's the same tune they've been
playing up here too, but along with the one in DH vid.

Can't believe I used to love that stuff back then. It's so
true though, when you go back and listen/watch the 80's
stuff, most everyone looked and/or sounded like a chick.

Checking out their site a little bit more, I still haven't
decided if they are clever jokers or complete idiots. In any
case, they certainly aren't musicians.

Have you watched the video yet? If you had, you would have
laughed at the same stuff I did. It is hilarious, and yet so
very wrong in so many ways...

I clicked your link (a few responses down) right after

Nope. Not that those two were that good (they certainly
weren't) but The Darkness is at least their equal in
sh!ttiness. Watch the video that Slacker and I linked to.
Note the infinite walls of amps (turned all the way up to
eleven, no doubt) and absorb the sheer stupidity of the
guitar work. They really are that bad.

Well that about qualifies "EVERY" band , (including the
afore mentioned "WANGER" and "mouse"😉that was on MTX
during the 80's

I think they're just being jokers. I just can't see them
taking themselves all that serious.

But, it matters not, they're out there. And we're discussing
them in a MTB related newsgroup. They win. 🙁

No, they win because they had a #1 hit with that stupid
song, and are making millions off it, while we haven't a
cluehow such a thing could happen.

They are supposed to be. They are a parody. It's humour.
