00:07There was rumours that the brothers were talking again, because that was the key issue.
00:14The two brothers had had a huge falling out. They'd gone off and doing their own solo stuff.
00:21Justin did the whole Eurovision thing, and he had his band Hot Leg, and Dan was doing his thing with
00:31Stone Gods.
00:35I think Justin had turned up at one of the Stone God shows, and the ice was starting to melt
00:42a little bit.
00:42The minute that I got a whisper that they were getting back together as brothers again and reconnecting,
00:50and the fact that they'd gone through the whole drugs and alcohol situation and sorted themselves out on that side,
00:58I thought, you know, it's crazy that they're not getting back together as the original band.
01:05So I made some enquiries. A lot of the original people involved with the darkness were still connected with them
01:13and stuff,
01:13and it seemed like a good idea. And I said, well, listen, if we're going to get you to come
01:19back,
01:19we should make a big thing that, you know, your launch should be at the download festival.
01:26You'd be playing a special guest at Def Leppard, so you're under no pressure.
01:30All you've got to do is just come and put on a great show.
01:33They just want to do a very concise, an hour set with all the hits.
01:41They're bringing loads of crazy stuff with them as part of the stage show, which has always been a part
01:48and parcel of a darkness live show.
01:52They're back together with the full original line-up with Frankie on base, who's just got the wildest, crazy, ridiculous
01:59hairstyle at the moment.
02:00You've got Justin with this bizarre World War One flying ace moustache.
02:07It's just everything about them. You just smile when you think about the darkness.
02:11Nice.
02:12.
02:12You
