@nap1056 well and he used an assload of effect pedals ^^ but you just tgotta love that thick, phaser-ish, distortion sound... i just love this sound. and his guitar, just gotta love telecasters with humbuckers. (;
and yes, weve all heard of the black keys, the white stripes death from above. etc etc. drum and guitar duos are not new. but heres a news flash. its okay to like more then one band.
going to see this band tonight. so stoked. also, this video really kicks up with heart sweats in the second half. wicked. and theres way to many people commenting that think their shit dont stink. if you dont like it go suck a dick cause no one cares.
@garagerawk27 You care enough to keep coming back to comment! They're great, you have nothing to be ashamed of, even if your ultra hipster friends might call you "mainstream"
@BroGuyDude as did you. "You" think they're great. I'm well aware I have nothing to be ashamed of. Being a "hipster" is as seriously about as common or mainstream as you can possibly fucking get.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That dude is the laziest fuckin' guitar player I've ever seen.lol He realizes he can play more than one chord right? It's sad because he gets all giddy when he's done playing like he accomplished something lol I mean come on!
@garagerawk27 is your 2 man band better? oh yeah, you don't have one. do you know any 2 man rock bands that are better? oh yeah, no one gives a shit what you think. is there anything i need to say to you? oh yeah, shut the fuck up.
@ohwello I can assure if I had one it would blow these pansies out of the water. Nobody really gives a fuck what you think either dildo, welcome to life. Oh yeah, blow me. Just to answer your question the Black Keys.
@garagerawk27 pfff attack and release is their only good album. you probably don't even like neil young or bob dylan, just because they play chords. good music isn't determined by how complicated it is. if you feel like that go listen to dragonforce.
I think they could be better of course but I think it's pretty cool how much eye contact they have to make because they have no bass and that. They are good.

Come, I play that very same riff when I'm fuckin' bored :/ This shit is so amateur. It's like two dweebs that work at office max starteted a band because they thought it would help them score with under age indie girls. LAME.
pfff, the drums are indeed not amateur, rather unik. Hard to find in todays music. And if you are so amazing at playing riffs, you ought to know, that great music is not always the result of difficult riffs. Most of the greatest music is rather easy to play. But let´s hope, that they get laid by under aged girls, cause than they would do stuff you virgin never could dream about, cause you´re to busy beeing bored and play awesome riffs.
@garagerawk27 yes i agree...ok with minimalist music but this seems to have no sense...to play just to conquer 2miserable minutes on the radio?this ruin music of today... they look like covering the white stripes duo idea, but really hard to reach that geniality!

OMG THEY SUCK... so much hype i've been hearing about this band...mostly because of the awesome band name.... but...still im shocked at how bad they are.... SUCK!!!
Wow... I like indie and alt stuff, but Japandroids just don't do it for me.
Its hard for me to go from a deep Surfer Blood or The National song to Japandroid's opener here... I counted a total of (literally) 10 words repeated in three different orders (with an 'and' thrown in there).
I was asking about the peripherals they use for the guitar. Although, I think I read somewhere that they use a Big Muff Pi and a chorus pedal, so that's all I needed to know.
Banda sem graça e com um som insosso. Nada de extraordinário...nem o fato de apelar pela simplicidade dos acordes/riffs e a crueza nessa bateria primária trazem algo de novo. Só vejam pelo erro em 09:08.
oh most definetly. On paper these guys should be really annoying, but holy shit are they amazing. I'm seeing them tomorrow for the second time in a few months. These guys are gonna be big. They already have a makings of a huge devoted following.
fucking A i dont understand, i feel like post-nothing has not gotten the credit it deserves you guys are so fantastic i cant handle it, please play in SF in a non 21-up venue
