Bands ? This whole thread has been a stream of consciousness about one band...

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIf The Darkness just didn't call themselves the next Guns N' Roses, but they did because they're more like the Kanye West of Rock.
At least The Darkness did it with a sense of irony.
Ultimately both bands dress up in silly clothes and make lightweight, occasionally hilarious dad-rock, but only one of them actually knows it.
...I'm still waiting to get to the next band ...I think this list of one band is a bit dull

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIf you don't like a band or artist, just share why you don't like them.
I just find them very much vanilla and that spunk trumpet front man needs to get his head out of his arse.

I don't even want to think where GnR have had their tongues. As I've said before, they are a semi-competent bar band with a singer that sounds like a cat being tortured and if their stuff had been released twenty years earlier they would, at best, have been a footnote in the history of rock music.
But come on, this is supposed to be a thread about The Darkness being really shit. Especially in comparison with Guns N' Roses who are, like, really not shit.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThen I grew up and found caring too much about that sort of thing counter-productive, I've got a lot else going on now. The positive side is the best thing about music, the negative side is just another reason for people to be shitty to each other and there is too much of that.
If a song or band makes you happy or brings a smile to your face, well great it's entertained you, fair enough, even if I think it's shite. However if something has inspired you to pick up an instrument, got you through a tough time or touched your soul, I'd positively be an asshole if I argued with that.
Back on-topic though , GNR did a stunning first album then a load of coked up nonsense that sometimes was great (November Rain, You Could Be Mine) and sometimes atrocious (Civil War, the horrible, horrible covers) but that is just IMHO. The Darkness on the other hand seemed at the time and still to be a fun, light-hearted take on the classic rock sound, and surprisingly great musicians on top of that. That little harmonic on the end of the riff of "I Believe In a thing Called Love" is a little bit of genius.
Taking two bands from such massively different approaches and basically saying "GNR were better", well yes, they were, but they were equally as much of a joke when they disappeared up their own asses!
