The Darkness guitarist, Dan Hawkins, has revealed that he writes the music while his brother Justin Hawkins crafts the lyrics in a recent interview to Gibson.
“I tend to write the music. Justin writes the lyrics. And then – Prince-like – he takes the big solo. That’s always been fine with me. I think Justin’s one of the best guitar soloists in the world, personally… although I may be biased”, Hawkins said.
The guitarist went on to reveal about his collection of guitars that includes a custom-made Les Paul, which was especially made for Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page.
“I call that my ‘Love is More Than a Feeling’ guitar. It wasn’t on that first album track, but it’s on both other albums since and live for the song. I had the Bigsby taken off, and a hardtail put on. I had a Fishman Powerbridge pickup put on so I could switch to an acoustic sound”, Hawkins concluded.
