Hey music junkies and vinyl junkies Professor of Rock always here to celebrate the greatest artists and the greatest songs of all time for the music community and vinyl community with music history video essay's. If you’ve ever owned records, cassettes and CD’s at different times in you life or still do this is your place Subscribe below right now to be a part of our daily celebration of the rock era with exclusive stories from straight from the artists and click on our patreon link in the description to see our brand new show there.
It’s very different interviewing artists and bands now as opposed to 30 years ago. What I mean is that what you saw in the spectacular film, Almost Famous where Cameron Crowe tells his story of interviewing rock gods doesn’t really exist anymore and before all of the keyboard quarterbacks come after me for being negative let me clarify. What I mean is that the ROCK STAR LIFESTYLE and ATTITUDE of yesteryear has for the most part, disappeared.
Times change and the excess rock and roll is done the party is over. Well almost. I have experienced a small inkling of some of that wildness in interviews.. I remember there was a frontman who a few years back was one of the biggest in the world who asked me if I wanted to do some blow with him. I politely declined.
I once did an interview, where i felt like i’d been transported to the heyday of rock and roll. with a group that is one of the last true rock bands that represent the old guard…I’m not talking about the excess as much as I’m talking about the feeling, the attitude and the spirit. I’m talking about the brothers Hawkins. Justin and Dan of the Darkness. These guys were hilarious. When they first came out, they blew up our radio.

The amount of people ridiculed me at school for saying The Darkness was clearly inspired by Queen. I could hear it in the vocals , harmonies and guitar solos immediately (as a lifelong Queen fan). Isn’t it satisfying to be able to say “Told you so”! When Justin got his finger tattoos, I was like “Yes”!!!! Sadly I never got to see Queen with Freddie, but I’ve been to see The Darkness so many times. An awesome live band!

How did I not know about this band? They are awesome! I just watched one of their concerts, and it was just one big, fun party with an excellent band behind a brilliant frontman and a crowd that absolutely loved them. My favorite songs so far are "Love Is Only a Feeling", "Get Your Hands Off My Woman" and "Love on the Rocks with No Ice", but I'm pretty sure, that this is just the beginning of a long and epic love affair! Thank you, Prof, for introducing me, you are really doing god's work here! Cheers!

Love Is Only A Feeling Now it's been a long time but I recall hearing the verses of that song and thinking, this is such a lush thing. Simple chords and chord progression, but the dual acoustic guitars are played and recorded beautifully. Paired with the vocal melody, mandolin coming in on the second verse, plus the music video imagery, really took me to a place that was a bit magical 💛🎸

I go back farther to the changes on the 8 track player!!! Love your channel Professor and I share it quite a bit. Thanks for doing what you do. I can remember when I was 5?, my neighbors were remodeling their house. Me and my brother were on our front porch listening to an AM radio blasting out the 'Doors' "Come on baby light my fire" ...SWOOSH and up went the neighbors house. I find out later they had stained and fumes built up in a room and the fridge kicked on and set it off, no fatalities and they fixed it. But every time that track rolls up on my MP3 player I am 5 YO again. That is your channel ... music, life and the memories that go along with them. And you picked a great hobby/ career. It isn't work when you love it and are as passionate about what you do as you are!!! Rock on!!!

I absolutely loved the spirit and fun of the song but also just the classic vibes of rock and roll that were sort of gone at that point.

For once I know exactly where I first heard a song (I've never been able to answer the Prof's end question before), although not when. "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" (2004) brought this brilliant song into my life, but it was on a DVD of the film, so some time after 2005, probably closer to 2008... I couldn't tell whether it was a hidden gem from the '70s or what, but it suited the scene hilariously and is always a treat to hear. It's a fantastic song, and the Hawkins brothers gave a really engaging interview.

I've been to hundreds of concerts and seen hundreds of bands but these guy are right up in the top slot of 5 or 6 bands. I saw 6 Darkness shows and I was Exhausted after every one. The energy these guys put out is palpable and infectious and the following day seemed a bit darker after all that endless energy. I took one of my best friends to his first concert, of anykind, and it was a Darkness show. He literally passed out from excitement and exhaustion near the end of the show. He was out for maybe 2 minutes at the most and on the way home he was so disappointed in himself for missing 1 second of the show.

I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of the vocals, but they grow on you in a quaint way due to their uniqueness. The music is solid though, with great rock elements that hook you. I listened to that album over and over for a while. I may have to pull it out once again once I'm finished with my BLS kick.

Hey Adam, Another great video, and Justin is hilarious!!! I noticed the Steppenwolf album in the background and was wondering if you would do a Steppenwolf video in the future. I live in Toronto, Canada, and just recently found out that Steppenwolf founding members are actually from Toronto as well. They came out of clubs in Yorkville which is a neighbourhood of Toronto. APRILWINE would be another band I would love to have you do a video on. They are from Waverley, Nova Scotia, not at all far from where I grew up. Myles Goodman, the lead singer of AprilWine still lives in Nova Scotia. Another Canadian band I would love for you to do a video on is TROOPER. I have actually worked with them a number of times over the years. Ra (on Vocals) and Brian Smith 'Smitty' (on Guitar), the only original founding members, actually just announced their retirement from touring a couple weeks ago. Just a few ideas for you for a video. I hope they spark your interest in doing a video. Thanks for the videos you do and all the hard work that goes into them, your detail and presentation is something I truly enjoy. Keep Safe Always, Matt - Toronto, Canada

It wasn't my favorite, but my mom's Carpenters record would always skip on "Just like me, They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~They long to be~ ... Close to you"

Finally, a band that's really good and fits my taste spectrum, but I dont think I ever heard of. Not even anything in my collections after checking. This is very rare in my life.

Okay Adam, you want to know what popped into my head the first time I heard these guys? The Tubes. Go figure! These dudes are hilarious man. It's great to see somebody have fun being "rock stars" again for a change. Rock has been too serious, too long. Tell me the "pretty" brother doesn't look like a young Joe Eliot, eh?

Saw them in Seattle a few years back with foxy Shazam was an amazing concert from start to finish. Also their guitar parts really inspired me to get better at guitar. They have so many great hooks and leads one of the greats. Shout out to foxy Shazam too had never heard of them had to grab all there albums after they had fantastic presence and a great vibe love the album church of rock and roll by them almost has an 80s feel they are wild man

How about the flipside of "They're Coming to Take Me Away"? It's the song played backwards!

Yeah! when this song came out it was an exciting "Where did these guys come from". New but old...like an homage to the days of the past but updated
