I always thought that The Darkness would be good when they got rid of the hideous vocals. And now they have!

It sounds really good, it's got a nice classic rock vibe to it now, it has a hint of AC/DC in the sound imo.

Sound good! Anyone heard of the band Airbourne? They're another classic rock style band that sound awesome.

I always liked The Darkness, they were gimmicky and cliché but so what? I'll have to check it out when I'm at home.

Airbourne can suck it, I heard a song (I think it was them anyway) and it's AC/DC. It doesn't "sound like" them, it's a straight rip-off.

Nope.  I believe the first album is all stock Gibson LPs through a THD UniValve.  Dan got his Cold Sweats later.

There's alot of AC/DC and DIO influences. Classic hard rock. I like! \M/

Same Dave, i loved his solos way more than Dan's solos, but i just couldn't treat them as a normal band with the vocals.
