    Hi Justin, off topic BUT I have a weird question/story for you.
    I have a really hazy memory of a scenario that happened while I was on holiday with family years ago. As a 10 to 13-year-old in one of the sunny go-to areas that the British and Irish usually invade yearly for a splash of sun. I want to say this was around 2000-2003 in a popular vacation spot in Spain or maybe Portugal, I cannot remember exactly. On one of the warm nights we visited a karaoke bar. After our amateur hour of crap songs and worse singing, a group entered the bar and I remember looking in awe:
    Two similar looking men with long slightly frilly brown hair wearing colourful shirts, another with a tank top showing arms and black hair that covered a bit of his face and a tall man with a hulk Hogan moustache and sunglasses at night! I was in awe, they came in, took a table and got some drinks and not 20 minutes later got handed some microphones.
    I suddenly learned that men could actually do a high vocal range, as the two long haired guys sang and motioned out an incredible and funny performance of Queens Bohemian rhapsody.
    Was this you early in your career? Do you remember something like this?
    It would make my day to know if this true.

When it started, I said they dont look like I remember from the tv. After a few songs and a double check of the programme we had indeed turned up an hour late and were watching Inspiral Carpets... gutted! Saw you guys at reading the same year I think.

    Hi Justin! Thanks for an incredible channel! I watch it almost daily. Congratulations on the upcoming UK Tour. Great to see The Darkness playing major arenas again. In another episode we could see you travelling to Oslo to play a festival. My question is what´s your strategy at festivals? Do you see it as an opportunity to meet and watch colleagues or do you keep to yourself? Do you have a favorite festival? I Know that The Darkness have performed at Sweden Rock several times. What do you think about Sweden Rock? As an artist, how important is it to know that the promotor of a festival has a stable economy so that will get paid? What´s your take on the recent Kingdom Come performance at Sweden Rock? Thank You for making med discover your great band. I hope you come to Sweden in 2023!

    For the next round of questioning!
    I’d love to know about yours and the band’s headspace during the ‘One Way Ticket to Hell and Back’ era? I love the song ‘Girlfriend’ and the music video for it, but it definitely stands out from the rest of your songs from that time. I wonder if there was a lot pressure on you guys to try and have another mainstream hit and that was the one they thought would be it on your sophomore album?
    Thanks, huge fan! 🤙

    Hey Justin, love the channel especially the industry insights. Michael Eavis once came by to check out a band at a small venue in Edinburgh that I was working at, it's a tiny venue and hardly anyone was coming to see the band which was a shame as they were great Anyway, as Eavis approached the door he tried to walk straight in and because I asked him to pay the 5 pounds cover charge he was very rude! I was holding my own as I knew that both the band deserves people to pay to see them, sound engineer etc need to get paid and of course that he could afford it. He proceeded after 10 mins of arguing back and forth to take out a money clip and handed me a 50 note with a smarmy look and said I hope you have change.
    I was genuinely shocked at his behaviour and hope it was an off night. Long story short...no one likes a cheapskate when they are a millionaire and secondly no music venue likes the old "I'm friends with the band" to get out of actually supporting the band

    Hi Justin! Bloody love your vids! In relation to you mentioning writing 'sister' songs, was the chorus bass line in One Way Ticket deliberately similar to I Believe In A Thing Called Love? It was the first single from that album and I was curious whether it was a cheeky nod/wink melody to jog people’s memories of who you were? Take Care! Stu, Birmingham, 39.

    Hello Justin, I remember very clearly ( surprisingly ) in 2002 or 2003 ( I haven’t bothered to check to be exact on the year ), I asked a few or so friends to go see this band at T In The Park in the morning as I was well slept, energised and motivational. The Darkness were playing roughly or bang on 12 noon as it said on the list, sounded interesting. I - and nobody else present at the time - knew much at all about you guys. I’m sorry to but I thought, at first sight, that youse were a parody of some sort but also a very good one... the more the set went on I realised I was watching ‘the real deal’ of Rock as it was and should be in its authenticity. I was not at all expecting that energy and pro eccentric rocker vibe at that time of day.
    When your set ended, I bet my brother a tenner that You guys would be headliners the following year.
    You were.
    I never got my tenner though but I always know whose going to be and not... I was pleased enough to be entirely correct.
    Bless ya.
    Love from Bonny Scotland.

    A potential question for a future Q&A: As an artist in "Exile" in Switzerland - like Tina Turner and the late Scratch Lee Perry - are you aware of any current Swiss artists and/or the local scene where you now live? I really appreciate your channel and content. The Darkness isn't exactly at the center of my critically acclaimed musical taste, but your detailed and leveled view and analysis of an eclectic variety of music and topics makes the internet a much more enjoyable place. Thank you Sir and keep it up!
