  • We are honored sir! It was such a pleasure to record this great song..much love to you, Justin!
  • @Halocene
    I'm still so blown away that you reacted to me, let alone with such kindness! Thank you so much ❤😊
  • My wife and I walked into our wedding reception to “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” and it is one of the memories most people still have of our reception 15 years later!
  • @natb9919
    Doing a whole youtube video reacting to people covering your song is possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen a music artist do. Great respect to you, Sir!
  • @snailmail4152
    The vintage New Orleans, best by far! They've shown what is 'hidden' in the song, added musical value and made it their own.
  • Appreciate you checking out my version, Justin. All the best.
  • It's so great that a musician looks at covers of their song with such fondness and positivity!
  • The Post Modern Jukebox was AMAZING!!!! Absolutely extraordinary- loved it!!!
  • @annasim3651
    Halocene is actually singing live yes! She's really such an incredible singer

    Justin: "You don't hear three guitar solo's in a three minute song" Megadeth: "Hold my beer"
  • This is a very special song to me. It was playing on the radio as I was steaming down the road far too fast having been told my one day old son had been rushed into the SCBU. If you listen to the lyrics imagining new parents looking at - and unable to hold - their one day old child in an incubator hooked up to various medical monitors they take on a very different meaning: ‘I believe in a thing called love, just listen to the rhythm of my heart, there’s a chance we can make it now, we’ll be rocking’ til the sun goes down…’
  • Halocene is absolutely incredible and her vocal range is massive.
  • @pobsdad
    It's great to see you being so generous. A lot of bands (I'm looking at you Eagles, in particular) would not only refuse to acknowledge these covers, but will actively strive to have them removed and blocked. I really don't see the sense in that. It's not like we are going to buy their version of the song instead of your's, and it keeps your version in people's minds. The Darkness are still current because we haven't forgotten you, and these covers are part of that.
  • @metalbearuk
    The fact the song can be done in so many different styles, is a sign of its greatness.
  • This is what the internet and YouTube was invented for! A video of a rockstar watching artists perform covers of one of their songs. And how brilliant are those covers!
  • @TyrannosavageRekt
    I’m not usually into going to see live performances of bands that only perform covers, but the spins PMJ put on tracks make it so worthwhile. I’ve seen them multiple times, and try to go every time they tour near me.
  • Post Modern Jukebox version is incredible, I love when people add their own style in covers.. PATD also did a fine job
  • @turkeytrac1
    Great Habs jersey!! And a fantastic video!! Btw, the duet we didn't know we needed , the darkness and P!atd together doing this. Have a great day.
  • I love that you are so bloody honest and straight-forward with your reaction, mate. It's bloody brilliant that you're so able to recognize the ability of others, and not feel threatened like so many other performers seem to. Right bloody on, mate, right bloody on!
