firstly, i figured you got sick of every other comment being a reply to your post. secondly, in my opinion, their new stuff sucks compared to the first 3 albums. i think their new music does suffers of shitty producers and empty suits
good sound, good guitarist, but the drummer seems to be a noob. Even I played like him on the drums and a teacher told me that I'm not bad but still a fucking noob xD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if you were to close your eyes and block out the vocals, you would swear Cobain and Grohl just covered this... Not sure who the Blackkeys are or when and where they are from (I am researching covers of this song), but this is a classic Seattle sound... I love it when a band puts their own stamp on a song without claiming it.. well done, however you need to hear Tumbleweed's cover. Unfortunately no one has posted it!
@blocka75 Never heard of the Black Keys? Check them out - I think they're one of the greatest bands of the last few years I came across. Lots of videos of them out there.
Because they play rock and roll, play their own instruments, don't have staged, preplanned dance moves, don't rap, and have never been on American Idol. The empty suits in the record industry aren't going to get behind anything this real.
@ForeverYoung58 honestly real musicians don't even acknowledge the existence of these hypothetical and most likely non-existant "empty suits" you speak of.. =)
@ForeverYoung58 one of pat and dans first common grounds were their love of wu-tang clan hooks. they put out an album of rap r&b called blakrok. rap isn't bad at all
@willwelsh816 Thanks for the info. I didn't know that. I'm old school, love rock and roll, especially stuff that has a similar vibe as the great stuff from the 60's and 70's. I don't care for rap at all, but to each his own.
@imjstcl Saw 'em on SNL; terrific. The fact that they are starting to make inroads beyond "cult favorite" is encouraging; but I'm not going to give the "music" industry a pass quite yet. I remember when a label's promotional might was behind bands like The Beatles, The Stones, CCR, Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc. When The Black Keys get the same support reserved for Lady Gaga, Brittney and the latest Rap atrosity, then, musically, the world will be in the right place.
@SomeRandomFeller I just got their latest one (EL Camino) recently, and enjoy it. What part of my first comment (from two years ago) do you have an issue with?
i think any real artist shouldn't care who covers their music. an artist should look FORWARD to someone covering their shit. seeing what someone else brings to the game, as long another artist doesn't blatantly claim your creation as theirs its all good. let me hear the polka version of this song. i'll be satisfied.
yeah if you are going to hate people who do covers I guess Bob Dylan and Jimmy Hendrix are out .. Cat Power is out.. A long list .. I think it is interesting to hear different takes on a song
@fitniss In 1959, Richard Berry wrote and recorded the song. In 1964, Paul Revere and the Raiders covered it. In 1965, The Sonics covered it. In 1986, Stiv Bators played it, followed by Crazyhead in 1989, the Three Headcoatees in 1992, Blood Sausage in 1993, the Brandos in 1998, the Black keys in 2003, Jim Belushi and the Sacred Hearts in 2005, and I'm sure I missed a few. So the Sonics were third to play it, and the Black Keys were ninth or so.
@AeolianSeventh Have Love...was actually on The Sonics first album, Here Are The Sonics (1965). As to whether their version came before Paul Revere / Raiders version, I'm not sure. It probably doesn't matter, because they were both part of that same Northwest music scene that also brought us The Kingsmen.
The blues brothers were created when john was filming animal house. At night he would check out a local muscian "curtis salgado". He was so impressed he brought Akroyd with him. Jake was created then. there was a fundraiser for Salgado, who needed a liver transplant, in Portland OR. Belushi's sister showed up to represent the family. She talked about the longtime friendship her family developed with Curtis since that time in Eugene OR.
Thanks for giving a bit of blues history for the blues brothers. If anyone of you don't have *The Blues Brothers* 1st Movie. I urge you to go get it. You have legendary artistes like: John Lee Hooker, Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Donald Dunn and Steve Cropper form Booker T & MG's, and so on...Incredible movie!
Excuse me sir but They did 3 albums and were a band ;)
Yes there was a movie (Even 2) But they were officialy a band with the saturday night live Band (With the G.E band)
A great song that John Belushi (James Younger Brother) did was King bee and he was a great singer. As for Dan Ankroy, He's a great Harp Player and did a great version of Bye Bye Bird from Sonny Boy Williamson. James then replaced his Big Brother (John died of overdose)
but the Blues Brothers ARE fictitious. They were characters created by Belushi and Akroyd as a SNL sketch. Elwood and Jake Blues aren't real Belushi & Akroyd were so fun and entertaining as Jake and Elwood that they expanded it to a movie and albums.
