@Eatn28 As a drummer, I totally agree, but I've come to really like these guys. They play a very pure form of rock'n'roll. I think the reason the floor tom is on Pat's left side is because he wants to maintain visual contact with Dan Auerbach when he's using that drum. Still, shouldn't he be using his left hand?
interesting... he sings in a higher pitch during live performance its seem, usually it's the other way around. love that cutting tone! any tips on getting, i love playing with fuzz (face) and its never quite that sharp. is it the fender amp?
@TheZionXIIIGuy things to help you get that sound... a humbucker guitar, setting your pickup to the bridge with tone up a bit, and a tube amp. not just any tube amp tho, Dan uses a Fender Super Reverb quite a bit and a Marshall Plexi. those amps are pricey tho, and you won't be spending a ton of money replacing blown tubes like the other dude said, unless you feel like putting your volume all the way up... which is not wise haha. hope this helped, cheers
@TheZionXIIIGuy The clean parts is totally the Fender. You can hear the reverb when he plays the opening riffs.
IMO, I think Dan has the best fuzz and clean tones I've heard. He uses a pretty simple setup but it's kinda of a tricky sound to achieve. I believe he once said that he gets his amps to the point of overdrive but right at the sweet spot where the fuzz doesn't "sound farty"
I've got a vintage Fender Super Reverb, saving up for the Marshall..
@MrSzechuansteve The Black keys write and record all of their own music. But in studio they play bass parts, keyboard parts, and doubletrack vocals. Since there are only 2 members in the band, they can't play all of that live, it would require more than 2 people. So when they go on the road they have musicians that travel with them that play the extra instrumental parts that the Black Keys cannot play. Green Day does the same thing, they doubletrack guitar, so they need an extra guitarist.
ever since i started listing to The Black Keys my standard had gone up so high i can't find any other band to like *sigh* but hey, they're willing to make two albums a year :)
@MusicMistery91 He's totally not awkward without the beard. He does look younger without it, but that's about all. Still really good looking and he sounds the same.
@KellyAnn2390 okay so what you're saying is that on each video i have to talk about how good they are? Cause... first i wouldn't waist my time watching their video's if they were bad..
@Unarchetype hes almost like a n00b in drumming standards. ive been playing for almost ten years and i know i would never do that. his style is very strange, i almost cant comprehend a professional drumming like him.. hes still good though, just his strange style /:
@Mrgoodfella2468 totally man, i couldn't believe it when i saw him doing that! plus the tempos heave and sway with like 10-15bpm differences from section to section but it's the energy of it all!
Pat Metheny plays the greatest jazz guitar ever with the ugliest technique and Tony Williams, Miles Davis' great drummer from the early 60s onward sped up and slowed down all the time, especially the 'Four and More' concert of i think '63. But music is about energy not standards, so it's all good!
@08stratguy The White Stripes in my opinion and I think truly just is a better artist due to vocals, and production, but the Black Keys are really good as well.
@08stratguy I love the Black Keys, you know Rubber Factory and all that stuff, but I don't get that same aura of genius from them. I think they make music that's really good, but I don't get the same genius feeling I get from listening to Jack White.
@UndergroundRelapse again, you like Jack White, I don't see any talent in someone screaming nonsensical lyrics over a loud guitar playing the same 3 or 4 chords over and over and over and over. But I agree, Rubber Factory is a great CD.
@UndergroundRelapse everyone likes what they like, right? I guess it doesn't matter really anyway, because (thankfully) the White Stripes are no more and Jack is off pretending to be Johnny Depp.
These guys are so sexy! Patrick ravaged the drums and Dan was insatiable on the guitar! Haha...besides that, they have actual skills and a killer sound. Hope they have a looong run.
@Rushworshiper92 sexy isn't it? Looks like a modified Airline tuxedo by Easton to me, but I can`t find out for sure. Everything online says he just uses a basic model, but there`s no way it is.
@bibouthejoker The beard really does seem to just BELONG on him. It's like he was naturally born with a beard rather than a shaved face. It just fits!
Anyone who says Patrick is a nerd has clearly never seen an interview with the guy because he's far from it. Get to see The Black Keys tomorrow and it's gonna rule.
Are these guys "dorks?" Sorry one of them wears glasses. They listen to fucking Wu-tang and make rap albums for Christ's sake. They sing and play with soul and swagger.
First heard this song playing in background, during Stanley Cup finals, on tv of course..Used Sound Hound to name the band! Great song and won't be surprised if this song ends up in a movie trailer somewhere...All Great songs do eventually!!!
@josiahbartlett1 nope not at all,, jimi hendrix, not a dork, frank sinatra, not a dork, led zep, not dorks, elvis, not a dork, rage against the machine, definitely not dorks. that shits just played the fuck out. none of these dork bands have any staying power. theres always an exception or two,, like weezer
@comngetsome Led Zep wrote songs about Lord of The Rings and other Medieval shit. Are these guys "dorks?" Sorry one of them wears glasses. They listen to fucking Wu-tang and make rap albums for Christ's sake. They sing and play with soul and swagger.
