Zep is eternal, where as the Darkness may not last that long but they will last... but to whoever said that u like them because it takes your mind off the teeny bopper rock around today... i TOTALLY agree, one of my friends told me to get into the present because i listen to too much zep and acdc, i was like besides a select few (darkness and few others), today's music sucks, listen to what's good, that's why i think the darkness will last, people need to get back to the classics
checl out this i read about the darkness on blabbermouth.net
THE DARKNESS have asked for a massive £1million fee (approx. $1.8 million) to play this year's Glastonbury Festival, according to NME.com.
The figure is a far cry from the £75 (approx. $136) they were paid to play their Friday morning opening set last year.
Today festival organizer Michael Eavis told the Daily Mirror: "It's incredible how much things change in a year."
"When we booked them last year they were just a pub band no-one had heard of. We paid them £75 but they were thrilled to be given the opportunity."
Since THE DARKNESS' appearance at the festival last year, the group's debut album, "Permission To Land", has sold 1.2 million copies in the U.K. alone. In addition, the CD has achieved gold status in the U.S. for sales in excess of 500,000 copies.
A source close to THE DARKNESS told the Daily Mirror: "To play Glastonbury this year, they'd want £1million. The way they see it, they'd worked long and hard to get where they are and feel entitled to make the most of their success."
