Keep Yourself Alive -> Christmas Time (The Darkness)

The Darkness ROCK. Like Flashy says, theres nothing wrong in being influenced by the best. They are one of only a few bands that id pay to go and see at the moment.

I really like the Darkness....they're something new I can look at besides the other crap that's being recorded these days.....I dont care they copy some Queen things......all I am saying is..it's about time somebody copied Queen....Queen is the best influence....hats off to the darkness for giving my generation the slightest bit of hope...in some repsects, groupwise..they're like Queen....you have people that either hate them or love them..like Queen...there's no in between..you either like their act or you don't....anyway..I've never seen a man sing such a high falsetto before...quite amazing and different...a difference from Queen where I don't think Freddie could sing so high you'd think he had his balls cut off or something...so you see...I like them because a lot of people in the U.S. hate them for being a "joke" or "not serious"......like Queen..they will prove the critics wrong....I think for those of you who don't like them...give them time and I think this band will grow and accomplish great things....and anyway...I always get the One vision song confused with an AC/DC song...so you see....every song sounds like eachother...who gives a flying rats ass?....none of the songs on the album sound like a Queen quitar riff or anything....you could go on forever how each songs sounds like Queen....it's rediculous.....just paranoia if you ask me...they have a true old fashioned simple rock sound....

"Just listened to I Believe In a Thing Called Love, and they bloody have stolen the guitar!"

the somebody to love-christmas time link 4 me is the riff of christmas time is likde that start of the somebody to love guitar solo. but i like the darkness so i not complainin.
im actually watchin robbie williams at Knebworth right now on E4 and he does alot of freddie-esque things. He uses the half mic stand like freddie throughout the show. And he sang WWRY. but i dont hate him coz of it. im not a big fan of his really, but live he isnt bad.
