There was a band a few years back called "The Darkness". Serious rock band from England (note the teeth) but pulled out all the stops with every Rock n' Roll/Glam Rock/Hair Metal Rock band cliche. The band pokes fun at their own expense. All of their videos are over the top, tongue and cheek Metal fantasies....that involve space. Kind of like their own Spinal Tap. Lead Singer Justin Hawkins emulates Peter Frampton meets Freddie Mercury (Queen), meets Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), meets David Coverdale (Whitesnake), meets Robert Plant (Led Zepplin). Note the slow-mo, wind in hair guitar solo. Epic Beat, make sure you're not drinking water when you watch this. Warning: there is some sexually suggestive "Austin Powers" style humor in this video.
Here is, "I Believe In A Thing Called Love".

Well, with Christmas just around the corner it would be amiss of me not to share this little treasure with you!

It's a pity the band broke up - I think they had a couple more albums left in them. Ah well...
Hey Rik, nice to hear from you. Yeah I guess Justin had a bout with a heroin addiction and had to leave the band. They discussed a replacement but that never happened. What a shame.
Cool video btw.
