[TheMolestedgecko]

footoose

[wedontknowone1]

@tele757 dude, WHY have you been hating on the black keys FOREVER!!?!? what did they do to you? plus why do yo look them up if you hate them!? yo must secretly been one of them psting stuf so guys like ME could respond!

[wedontknowone1]

@4623blue ok i TOTALLY DISAGREE with you! thi song is cool! but i did like your yoda speak! haa

[Sethhicks322]

hay were did you get this song i need it lol

[Epste1n5693]

original is better, but the black keys are awesome too

[stiqkey]

@Epste1n5693 I dont know if you can even compare the two, they're like completely different songs. a

[ledge24]

I Don't understand why people are saying these guys older stuff is better, they never changed their sound to begin with.....

[Onibaku89]

Forget about dubstep being dirty. Just listen to Dan's guitar and fuzz pedal man. Now THAT is some dirty shit.

[stiqkey]

@Onibaku89 fagstep doesn't deserve to even be mentioned in the same sentence as the black keys.

[FlyingNarwhal12]

2:10 dan has the faintest resemblance of bradley cooper...anyone else? its kinda weird.

[4623blue]

what part of this does'nt SUCK. Some things are better left alone. I mean come on man. I just sat the bong down & this don't grab me by the boo-boo at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stiqkey]

@4623blue you need to pick the bong back up, because youre obviously not getting the point of the black keys, fag

[4623blue]

@stiqkey If thats the best you got you better reconsider,because this still SUCKS!!! Oh by the way is fag the best you got cause that pretty weak bong or not. Full on lame is this

[jerboze]

I'd rather listen to this than their new stuff. It's too polished now. Yes they are great musicians. Your opinion is your opinion, and that's my opinion.

[tele757]

this is horrible,. these guys are amateur. they dont know how to play. Terrible feel and wrong vibe. Sounds like Mayer trying to sound like Hendrix. Simply ruined the song

[FlyingNarwhal12]

seeing TBK in portland may 7th!

[PCFilth92]

I want this to be good. i really do. But it isn't. No matter how much I try and force it.

[TheGibsonman1959]

 When I first was discovered The Black Keys a couple years ago, and I heard this song, I looked up the original by Walsh, and was amazed as well. The Black Keys, like other bands from today and the past, helped me find more of the music I play and make. Now as for the new album, I didn't quite like it at first, but it's sort of starting to grow on me, especially Mind Eraser. I need to get that damn album (and other Black Keys albums) as well as other albums by T.o.a.d and more older stuff too.

[jakebarnes28]

One person is a twit and 7 made the mistake of trying to see who it was by clicking on the dislike button. Hehehehehehehe

[Wacokid48]

my son loves this band... but then he never heard Joe Walsh!!

[BlondieGrrl65]

Two really ugly guys making some really amazing music. Yeah, Joe Walsh's version is great. But SO is this!

[SinisterBuns]

@BlondieGrrl65 These men are so attractive I would have sex with them and I'm a heterosexual male.

[MrNewVegas9]

@SinisterBuns lets not get out of hand here. yeah theyre awesome musicians but you dont have to be such a fanboy. theyre average looking guys to me.

[tele757]

@MrNewVegas9 dude they are not great musicians,. How would know, your opinion is irrelevant.

[MrNewVegas9]

@tele757 my opinion is actually the only one that matters. Music is entirely based on personal taste, so i dont care if im the only one on earth who thinks theyre good, i think theyre good so thats all that matters. and if u dont think theyre great musicians why the hell are u watching their videos??

[SinisterBuns]

@MrNewVegas9 Ok really? Because I was totally serious when I said I'd have sex with these guys right? I swear kids today have no common sense...

[MrNewVegas9]

@SinisterBuns i never said i thought you'd actually have sex with them. that's just stupid. but your saying you say they're oh so attractive. im just saying your being ridiculous. they're average looking guys. and what makes you think you know if i'm a kid or not? Because I'm not. stop making assumptions man

[BlutoUSN]

They have so much Talent they made Funk #49 sound New...BadAss!

[jonathan401]

Sloppy cover, lame vocals, and they missed a few parts.. nice try, but I think I'll go listen to the original now.

[UTF]

An amazing song, and great cover.

[dharmaseed]

The Black Keys misinterpret the term 'Funk'. Funk is bass-driven music, and they do not have one is this song. Funk evolves from the polyrhythms between the bass, guitar and drums. This song needs a bass guitar to be 'funk'.

[RealOutOfSight]

@dharmaseed The name of the song is Funk #49. It's not a funk song and has been recorded by various rock artists. Derp

[dharmaseed]

@RealOutOfSight A song named 'Funk #49' that's not a funk song? Thanks for making no sense whatsoever.

[RealOutOfSight]

@dharmaseed I know, it's a tough concept to grasp

[kingfelix01]

correction-- funk come from being funky



[dharmaseed]

@kingfelix01 Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid-late 1960s when African American musicians blended soul music, jazz and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music. Funk de-emphasizes melody and harmony and brings a strong rhythmic groove of ELECTRIC BASS and drums to the foreground. Funk songs are often based on an extended vamp on a single chord, distinguishing it from R&B and soul songs, which are centered on chord progressions.

[gjb16]

@dharmaseed This song has been funky for 40 years. This is a refreshing cover. By the way, funk comes from being funky. Just ask George

[gjb16]

@dharmaseed Check out the original. Great bassline by Dale Peters.

This is a great cover

[dharmaseed]

@gjb16 Bro, I LOVE the original version.

[skippy8816]

Paying homage to James Gang.... so cool! Keepin it Ohio Baby!

[MrRoadkill50]

worst cover of #49 I have ever heard

[Audiophoric]

@MrRoadkill50 that's exactly why it's so good

[sgtdrumsolo]

apparently nobody here knows what masjid means because there is a distinct lack of a religion-fueled flame war. Masjid is another word for mosque in Arabic.

[FunkBrother26]

This is a sick cover. Does anyone know where I can get this actual track? The Black Keys bring it on every song. I fuckin' love it.

[kramerstrikesagain]

Does Dan look like Jesus or does Jesus look like Dan?

[nsteingrabe]

@kramerstrikesagain Maybe its the same person?

[kramerstrikesagain]

@nsteingrabe AHHH!!!! *head explodes XD

[cherrynutz]

@kramerstrikesagain Its good ol Jeebus! LOL, I would have to say both ways. :)

[CJDiggs]

@kramerstrikesagain I suspect jesus was a few shades darker.

[kramerstrikesagain]

@CJDiggs Course most Middle Eastern fellas are

[pigfarts992]

@kramerstrikesagain Jesus looks like Dan...Hell, Dan is Jesus.

[stiqkey]

@pigfarts992 got dat shit right, to bad he cut his hair and shaved of that epic ass beard

[xPsychedelicTRIPx]

@kramerstrikesagain they're the same motha f#ckin guy! :O

[risenflame]

@kramerstrikesagain He doesn't just look like Jesus. Dan is Jesus.

[everadopgil]

LOVE IT!

[xmcflapsx]

I'M GROWING ME A KEYS BEARD!

[MrFireblade67]

Dan really nails this guitar riff. He plays it his own way,but I think respectful to the original. I had to rush home to my guitar first time I heard this, but that riff takes a while to get soundin' like Dan's playin' it. Top song, damn good cover of a damn fine song.

[justdiemodell]

The Keys from Akron cover Joe Walsh from Cuyahoga Falls. I can dig it.

[Larm2112]

Where can I find a download for this? it"s not on itunes!

[TheSwartt]

the black keys do their covers so well that i always forget that these songs arent theirs.

[TheSwartt]

"Funk #49 makes me wanna "69"

[telecasterman081095]

I've so far found these guys quite respectable...this adds to the respectability. I like hearing Joe Walsh stuff appreciated by newer bands.

[TThirdplaneTT]

Dam. A cover of one of the best artists of all time...Joe Walsh/James Gang. A genius song writer and guitar player who fucked up when he joined that fake rock/country band called The Eagles...who Graham Parsons (another genius) once called "plastic dry fuck music". Hhaha

[musicman14220]

james gang covers! :D

[themanchild27]

this song could never be too loud like seriously take an arena's pa system stuff it into my bathroom and blare this and I will be happy

[LiLPinoySteve]

The background music is, beside the awesome lyrics, on every each song so gnarly bloody damn fucking wicked good :D...!!! I love that Band!! I must go to their europe tour next month.

[MrFireblade67]

Dirty blues guitar...I can smell those glowin' overdriven tubes whilst I listen to this song. Thank the Lord that there a people like this who know how to work some magic out of their guitar.

[zachkelsoe]

These guys did a cd on a label from my hometown (Fat Possum Records) really good album (Thick Freakness).

[MountainJammn]

The use of an octave pedal on the "chorus" riff is fuckin dirty.

[Emehms]

Epic

[MrShaggiestWolf]

where do you find all these covers? i want them on my ipod

[alijav091]

this is my pushups song!

[TatorBits]

I heard Dan Auerbach say in an interview once, "we've played other peoples songs note for note and it still sounded like us."

I guess this is what he meant :P Could never tell this song is by Joe Walsh :P

[understated2010]

1:20 that picture definitely isn't reversed haha

[egoexitosus]

Where did you get this? this isn't on any album is it?

[TheGibsonman1959]

Thank you Joe Walsh for giving us this song, and for The Black Key's for making it badass again !!!

[DUDEYMcDORK]

i love the black keys, but i have to say their recent isn't nearly as cool. they should cut the super clean cut "tightned up" stuff and let loose with some real blues,

[metafis]

@DUDEYMcDORK

I agree, I dont like the new stuff so much, it seems toned down and a bit 'radio friendly'.

[pantherfootball26]

@DUDEYMcDORK Yes we all do, but The Black Keys themselves say they'd like to get away from that sound. They want to evolve their sound not do the same thing over and over.

[TheJovanist]

@DUDEYMcDORK they shouldn't anything.....

[magnetlt]

ruined this song... 

[SeanFrancisMusic]

@magnetlt Nah, it's just different.

[binaryfunky]

he looks like Zach Galifianakis. in that first picture.

[grainnecatriona]

[graipyy420]

here here haza long live more then goood blue

[CMAG1590]

My left nut to see the Black Keys live!

[leadbones]

@sapapagigio i gotta say, i think they can do a lot better. i wouldn't say it sucks though...

[egoexitosus]

OMG!!! REALLY? the black keys covering james gang, that is the coolest thing ever.

[wantedbythefbi]

Have any originals ? THATS the ticket !

[lowemomo]

Great beard.

[AddItUp226]

[TheAkizo]

[ASDMarauder007]

[12345JJBB]

ah this is tough to hear, the bassline is so fucking badass

they pulled it off, who am I kidding. but the bass is needed for this song

[moabswhiskers]

the best thing about the black keys is pats silly nose

[IGrindShniz]

[maxthetax]

un brano suonato a cazzodicane

[surlymirth]

sweet!

[surlymirth]

sweet!

[ilovechugs]

well thats your opinion. im sure dan puts just as much into his solo stuff (if not more) than the keys.

[ilovechugs]

not bad, but i'd rather hear Dan and the fast five play it. :P

[BenitoGuevara]

@ilovechugs That's almost heresy to BK fans, I like his stuff w/ the fast five but it never has the same soul as the Black Keys.

[BustedBreaks]

@ilovechugs lol check out Dan's pre-Black Keys stuff with the Barn Burners. Everything that guy touches turns to gold.

[stereoplastic]

A song that I heard a million times and got sick of the Black Keys make it sound like im hearing it for the first time, god I love them, and dan looks like a modern day jesus at 1:56 haha

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@stereoplastic it's because he's our savior....of music, in this sinful and horrible time of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.

[guncis52]

@stereoplastic he is modern day Jesus

[thenazipanda]

@stereoplastic He is a modern day Jesus...

[BLKvids]
