You asked so I shall answer. In this video I'll tell you the worst thing a fan has said to me, how I can come up with so many new guitar solos, what you need to be become a "successful" musician and the artist I'd most like to collaborate with (along with a few other things). Thank you again for all your questions, I really enjoy interacting with all of you who watch this channel OUR channel, you could say. A big thanks and gratitude to those of you who gave me a SuperThanks, your generosity is incredible. I will bring my daughter out for a trip on a speedboat next week as a special treat!

I saw you mention a few of your vintage synths a few weeks back, but I haven't yet heard you mention anything about the DX7! Apologies if it's common knowledge - I'm a new fan of the channel and have been relentlessly working my way through your past videos 😄👍 I never really got into The Darkness before now, but I was SO happy to find your channel and find that we shared so many thoughts and opinions. It has honestly been just a wonderful pool of wisdom for me to spend time with. Thank you!

I was in a very popular local band for years and the worst thing that a "fan" ever did to me was unplug my guitar during a guitar solo and told me that "I sucked" and they wished that "I was never born." That was the last time I ever invited my mother to a show.

But watching you, I really appreciate your passion, knowledge, humour, and calming presence. Watching you over the last few months I think I better delve into the catalogue now, I’m pretty certain it’s gonna be a fun ride. Thanks again for the content mate, it’s awesome stuff, cheers from Oz.

Nothing but love for Justin. My Darkness - Danko Jones - Headstones playlist gets me through chemo. It's the perfect mix of getting your head out of that hospital setting and powering up my "fuck cancer" vibe. Without music, I'd be stuck in that chair with no way to tune any of it out. Last run I wrote out "Lucas June 7th 1963" on my paperwork, just to avoid removing my earbuds to answer the check question, "Last name and date of birth?" Keep on rocking Justin and yes, do it for me specifically.

Hi Justin! What you have is really outstanding relative pitch, which I think is better, because I have heard and read that perfect pitch is age limited, meaning you lose perfect pitch as you get older. Relative pitch is forever, as far as I know, because I'm old and still have it. It's my only superpower, other than ADHD which is why I type out long replies in comments to people who will never read them. Hope I'm not too annoying.

I love Radiohead and I was absolutely blown away by The Darkness's rendition of Street Spirit. I have a Brian May BG special guitar, it's just a fat, big, rich, lush sound. Great guitars. I believe the commenter is confusing perfect pitch, with relative pitch. Perfect pitch actually makes it harder to be in tune all the time. Relative pitch means you are 99.99% of the time in the correct pitch within the scale you are using. Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
