[Mjpalandri1]

@FreddoX1

What the fuck is a "kind of hipster sounding song"?

Please elaborate.

[mydannyfranny]

they suck

[FreddoX1]

I don't approve that they've "cleaned" up themselves.

Wearing suits, no epic beards and kind of hipster sounding songs...

[TheFloorFellAway]

He looks like a beardy Howard Wolowitz.

[bluetekki]

What style guitar is that?

[OuroborosAsphyxiate]

@bluetekki That if Im not mistaken is a Supro Coronado

[TheWill6692]

@bluetekki it's an Eastwood

[iSabotage]

@TheWill6692 Nah, it's an official Airline. Eastwood makes more affordable replicas of em. Would've had Eastwood on the head.

[TheWill6692]

@iSabotage  i thaught Eastwood was the actual brand,now i know it's Airline,haha Thanks man!

[iSabotage]

@TheWill6692 Yup! Good luck finding one if you really want one. I think there a bit pricey/rare on ebay.

[MrComputerDude5]

Mainstay95 has a great cover of them, the vocalist is amazing! also good backround dancing. just search Mainstay95

[angelitoh82]

[ESPMETALLICAFAN17]

Dan always looks stoned

[GuitarLoop24]

[arschwasserjoe]

i personally find it so hilarious that Letterman actually shakes everyones hands expect for the bassist's.

[marmaladeskyes]

howard wolowitz witz a beard

[oo01010oo]

Nice!

[berner0219]

Thumps up if FIFA 2011 brought you here

[alokray92]

Really nice..

[IXsalazarXI]

this live version is a million times better than their studio version

[natedogbfd]

@IXsalazarXI

generally speaking these guys seem to be better live than in studio

[KSEsch434]

is that joaquin phoenix on the keyboard?

[carouselambra7]

Dan Auerbach in a suit..... whistling... and playing kick ass music. ORGASM

[blocpartyrocker]

They are a force live..

[williampruden]

Love the black keys.

[FumandoPistola666]

That was indeed what we were lookin for...

[drekzdj]

se parece a howard de the big bang theory

[ZachRoles]

Spencer Nolan Rice! 

[xtremegamerx3]

gotta love a band that sounds just as good live as they do in the studio

[MadnessugurHD]

Fifa 11

[MrPopozza]

puz puz

[Eatn28]

Can't wait to see them and the Arctic Monkeys in may in slc ut.

[deano1337]

54 people lost a fight at a playground!

[theaterfreak332]

seeing these boys live. cant wait for perfection in my ears.

[Kriskazam]

Also, DAT BEARD DOE.

[Kriskazam]

Oh my gosh they're amazing live, Auerbach's vocals live are just on spot :O

[DeszuDjizlas]

they make my balls so wet...

[tommibero]

He looks and sings like Wolowitz :P

[Ironmonger238]

I just realized that the lead singer totally reminds me of Howard on The Big Bang Theory! He looks so much like him!!! haha

[DeszuDjizlas]

This is the honest truth, this appearance was the very first time i ever laid eys on or heard, the bad ass musical stylings of, the black keys.

[MrDujon1]

The dude playing drums is the coolest melvin

[howlinlevi2]

I love Dan's strap on his guitar

[FLaiR791]

I love their album cover. It's so literal..

[tommbo66]

"Beautiful drums, are these yours"?

"No"

"Oh, those are nice"

[BequiDelarge1]

What a sexy singer...

[junebuggy000]

Letterman : hello, hello.

Beautiful drums, are these yours?

Patrick: No .

Letterman : Those are nice,

fail.

[AllotaDrums]

Ew fuck that synth

[heymattarnoldphoto]

seeing them in march!

[MrBFinjection1]

they kinda remind me of the beatles just a little bit. more bluesy tho

[WaitForWalk]

sounds like mando diao

[ScribbleVicious]

Brothers and El Camino are good albums compared to other bands, but they suck compared to Magic Potion and Rubber Factory.

[1percent]

the keyboard ruins this.

[hattymccowboy]

he whistles real nice

[panjok2]

kingsofleonlive blogspot google it

[iamz00bs]

It's uncommon for an artist to sound exactly the same live as they do on the album. -3 the black keys

[panjok2]

@iamz00bs the same for kings of leon! My all-time best show ever was when the black keys opened for kol in Indianapolis in 2010!! I only new a few keys songs but bought several albums after the show!! What was funny is that when they took the stage a lot of people weren't sitting which is normal for an opening act but when they started playing people found their seats quickly...which is not common for an opening act!! The blew me away and I am not just saying that! been to many shows too!!!

[1DarkTyrant]

These guys are sweet-buttah. love em.!

[xzombxbeastlyx]

His voice is like an angel's. I mean its almost like they just played a recording of the album version and he lip synched.

[Kermit9o9]

That guy can whistle.

[mischaa57]

Well done guys, great job.

[pac401]

"Nice drums, are they yours?"

[Clerkb0y]

Great song

[ztikmaen]

Wow seriously, try to whistle the intro :O

[XeeGen]

When I first heard brothers I actually expected a group of very very not white guys...

[abrookins2006]

@XeeGen Then the album would be called "Brothas."

[dzgeneration]

holy shit i just realized the keys on his keyboard are flipped!!! the ones that are usually white are black.... thats awesome.... the black keys

[pedromseixas]

@dzgeneration it's an organ. All organs are supposed to be like that

[bobson9100]

@pedromseixas BUZZKILL!!!

[MrSzechuansteve]

@dzgeneration thats because its an organ and thats how they're supposed to be.

[saiyaman7]

@dzgeneration hence the name of the band

[bluetekki]

@dzgeneration Are you retarded?

[masquescroto]

does anybody now witch guitar dan use?

[prereqify]

@masquescroto It's a Supro Res-O-Glass. It was made in the 60s.

[jackisrantingagain]

this is why FIFA should sell the soundtrack to the games separately, lots of great artists have been featured on FIFA over the years and various other sports games like snow patrol, pint shot riot, tv on the radio and others

[Patitoyupi]

DO YOU LIKE SNACKS

[babsinjrzy16]

Why's he tuck the bass player in the back since "Ten Cent Pistol"?? Ego? C'mon dudes, he was great if you let him step up he compliments and fills out yur sound!! But I love them...

[Jrumor2121]

@babsinjrzy16 because he's just a filler, not part of the band. Dan and Pat are The Black Keys.

[phenomenus01]

krasno

[arcticsarethebest]

what i love the most about them is their creepy sound! sooo nice!

[forfunk49]

Is that the bassist that plays with Charles Bradley?

[stimuland]

@forfunk49 both the bassist (Nick Movshon) and keyboardist (Leon Michels) are members of Charles Bradley's Menahan Street Band

[forfunk49]

@stimuland That's fantastic. The only other group out there with ALMOST as much soul as the Keys.

[GoddessRenata]

Damn I love this band.  Love this sound. "Lonely boy" + "Tighten up" + "Howlin for you" .... love it tooooooo much! haha. This music makes me wanna have S E X

[ThePhilliePhanatic]

@GoddessRenata lol thats great

[buru44]

Seriously by far my favorites. So old school it's not even funny.

[robthefighter88]

I wish I could whistle like that :c lol

[supercrazyswan]

OH YEAH!

[spidey1242]

They went to the school i go to.

[DestinyHero06]

@spidey1242 cool

[shemmoody]

is that howard off big bang theory's brother?

[mahavishnuxc]

Cream was the father,

Soul was the mother,

The Black Keys was the child.

[Akarub]

*searches guitar lesson*

[imranpumpupthejam]

how does he whistle that high pitch?

[AhReeEl]

@imranpumpupthejam Cuz he's Dan Auerbach.

[DrProfessorSham]

baby child!!!



[12345mutherfucker]

this song reminds me of Led Zeppelin IDK why???

[Mrgoodfella2468]

@12345mutherfucker I thought the same thing! It's cause towards the end of the song, the drummer parallels the drumming style of Bonham.

[BuddyRider]

To David Letterman:

Anyone with a beard and a suit like that, should never be adressed as "kid."

Jimmy Fallon rules.

[LippenSchmippen]

great beard

[UpTheBracket420]

for once letterman is being honest by introducing a 'wonderful rock and roll band'

[ImBetterthenGod123]

@UpTheBracket420 What do you mean? there's been alot of great rock bands on letterman.

[XxHort89xX]

@UpTheBracket420 Cursive put on a great performance on Letterman. He has good bands perform on his show.

[Kryzzr]

@98Waffles I see it lol

[98Waffles]

Am I the only one that thinks the singer looks like Tim Roth?

[picchu10]

@98Waffles no

[supercrazyswan]

@98Waffles hot as hell.

[RonnyTequila]

fucking extreme

[thevipzayac]

cool!!

[shellysto]

wowwww love them <3

[93Bigbrown]

Can't believe I shook hands with these two! FUKIN AWESOME I GOT TO MEET THEM!

[PeachSurebet]

Dan shows us that beards can be very classy.

[gusanadrummer]

Great Band !!!

[JakeeDevinee15]

The tightest band since " The Band "

[steno1129]

@JakeeDevinee15 I dunno, man. The Eagles are just about as tight as you can get. Listen to this live performance again. If you have a metronome handy, you'll see they pick up the tempo throughout the song. One of the things that "thight" implies is holdin the rhythm, which they didn't do this gig. Nothin against the Keys though. Great sound. It's a common mistake to accidentaly speed up when playin' live.

[ItsKittyPunter]

@steno1129 I think they purposely increase their tempo, at least because in the actual song when it is'nt live I was convinced they were slightly increases their tempo

[ElloKyoko2]

5/25 is my birthday

[fruhotchiliman]

wow 1mio views! this world can also be fair.

[aussiemj23]

@plsouliere wtf

[plsouliere]

45 people are deaf, dont have speakers, got told a loved got hit by a car (while watching this) or should have been under the car too.

[05headhunter]

it looks like he was high on crack while performin xD

[WhereAreMyChucks]

best band in 30 years

[acdc2decore]

Gotta love em!!!!!

[DJChiefyChief]

Only the Black Keys can Rock Out in Suits!!!!!

[keaton223]

@DJChiefyChief .......cause you know beatles never did that.....still Keys rock them just as good

[DeaDrummer66x]

@DJChiefyChief Beatles? Foo Fighters?

[DJChiefyChief]

@DeaDrummer66x ...The Black Keys make it official

[DeaDrummer66x]

@DJChiefyChief Fair enough

[mugford9]

@DeaDrummer66x 1000s of other band? every band before the 70s? Almost every band has worn a suit while playing at some point.

[ajkhgfiurg]

i think it would be better to listen to their song missing base and keyboard than having outsider. Not that i hate the other two.

[BJRhythm88]

The Keys never cease to amaze me!

[area61madness]

It's good to see that blues and rock are still alive. I'm tired of this autotuny sound board rap B.S.

[keaton223]

@area61madness agreed also im depressed at what alot of rock is going towards....gay screamo metalcore bands, the Black Keys are a godsend

[Elise71710]

don't kid yourself this kid can whistle!! ha

[starlight945]

I like :D

[00bassman00]

Soo.... what is Quentin Tarantino doing playing the keyboard?

[FucklyDuckly]

@00bassman00 Hahaha

[zoszo19sl]

@00bassman00 contemplating how awesome this song would be in his next movie

[wangtiago]

[wangtiago]

[acdc2decore]

[bgerch23]

[anthonybeckham]

Is that mclovin on the drums?

[Sentadoenpie]

@anthonybeckham LOL

[tracylc01]

These guys are amazing musicians. Tight!!! Love it.

[petrifyy]

Since you guys like The Black Keys (I'm assuming) then I'd appreciate if you'd listen to my friend's band, The Districts, and give me your thoughts on them. The singer sounds kind of like Dan Auerbach but younger and more soulful. Tell me what you think!

[chilibro]

is the bassist and penist part of the band or did they hire them for the show cause my friend was tellin me that it was just patrick and the other guy? (please reply)

[dropyourcalls]

@chilibro Yeah It's only the drummer and singer

[chilibro]

@dropyourcalls so do they just get different people each time they play songs or what?

[dropyourcalls]

@chilibro No I think he's a touring member so he goes with them on tours and play's with them on stage but he's not an actual member they just need him for live sound.

[chilibro]

@dropyourcalls do you know what they do for recording sessions?

[dropyourcalls]

@chilibro well different bands do different things but for The Black Keys dan played bass & piano

[chilibro]

@dropyourcalls and dan would be the singer? i dont know anything about them, as you can probly tell, i just started listening to them

[dropyourcalls]

@chilibro Yes dan's the singer and on the album he played guitar, sang, played bass and played piano and patrick just plays drums

[liveoutloud251]

I love this song it makes me laugh for some reason though.

[stelask8]

his voice makes me cry , i don't know why

[spindler85]

Jesus Christ he still sounds that good live?

[zeratul7270]

not every band wear suits when they're rock n' rollin

[Bears2012ify]

TBK!

[Saradrummer]

Could I possibly be more in love with Dan Auerbach? No. No I couldnt.

[annthuhknee]

@Saradrummer i dunno, i'm a dude and i'm in love with Dan Auerbach

[loveraac]

this song makes me happy :D
