the first time i heard this song i was 12 years old and was watching school of rock.. now im 16, i would have never imagined they'd become so popular. they're SOOOO good!!
the thing about the black keys isnt that they dont have any bad songs and its not just that they have some great songs its that every single one of their songs is a legendary one just waiting to be discovered as such.
Lol I thought this guy was black till I went to buy there song on Itunes and had to keep looking cause I thought for sure a white guy can't sing that good.
these two guys are talented and I like the fact that they make the music they want - not some watered-down, kid-friendly, made-for-mainstream-public-consumption crap ------ stripped down, raw rock-and-roll like it should be!
i love the black keys. this song is amazing. but i'm surprised at all the hendrix comparisons. hendrix was out there, doing stuff to a guitar nobody had ever thought of, he was an outright musical genius. upside down guitar anyone? dans guitar work is dripping with gritty character and technical chops, but its his take on something that many before him have done.
agreed..he is by no means a guitar innovator or legend. he is simply a talented musician that is playing music thats been done many many many times before him..
Like the raw sound of these guys on this, great rhythm stuff, very Hendrix like in the fuzz, my only complaint is the lack of a guitar solo, gotta have a solo!
@mcquick22 < Hell yeah. I'm from Akron, and while LBJ might have not been able to bring home the goods, we have a bad ass, all-American, homegrown set of musicans. I remember when they were on the local bar circuit. Awesome to have seen their growth.
I 1st heard this on "Not the same ol' Blues Crap - Vol 3" (could be wrong about the volume). Almost enjoyed as much as "Boob Scotch" by Bob Log the III
i agree with all the superlatives thrown at these guys...every song ive heard just shreds. im a dumbass for not paying attention sooner... as far as them catching on, its already happening...crystal ballroom in portland sold out waaaay in advance. their growing popularity reminds me of nirvana just before teen spirit dropped...buzz on the street is about to EXPLODE... imo they will be headlining arenas/sheds really soon...2011? BLACK KEYS BRING THE HEAT!
@hnvoight yeah theyre being played on the radio where i live and im the same way, i just recently got into them and this song is like 7 years old! like wtf , how had i not found out about these guys sooner.
Everyday my favorite BK song changes. BUT this could be it for reals. No really. Wait....Afraid to love you....Sinister kid....Unknown brother...Your touch....haha..They're all my faves!
He does fingerpicking...not that he is a brilliant guitar player, no he doesn't even uses a plectrum...now I'm really frustrated, cause I can't play like this with a plectrum :)
just heard then only since "brothers" came out.. now i need the black keys' to live. though they played so many songs, that's why i hate the part that i've missed so much!
Its a shame that this gig was ruined by shitty cameramen who would rather turn the camera on its side and wave it around in the face of the musicians than mount it on a tripod so we can actually see them play.
gonna see them tonight:D about 2 hours i'm in the train going to Amsterdam , With my Girlfriend , gonna smoke some weed drink some beer watch some football en rock the socks of this planet at the motherfucking black keys
@Getchapull616 Really? Uh, no. American rock is just one form of it all. I'm saying America invented the overall "genre" of rock and the Black Keys seem to be the last original voice left in our version of it. Any clearer...?
this song fits for me right now. I got a guy taking me for everything I got right now...money rides etc. And I don't think Im the only one. gotta 'walk out the door!' :)
@kayjay56 Spoken like a true douchebag fan of Entourage. Let me guess, you've got the barbed wire/chinese symbol tattoo and you wear a ski hat in 90 degree heat. And by the way, I'll say "we" any time I please, cocksucker. Maybe you should stop sucking dicks behind the Gas-n-Sip for cigarette money, faggot...
@harrison58 Entourage eh? you missed the point.. I've felt the same way about bands, then quickly realized that's f@#king stupid to not want artists to receive recognition for their music. Sometimes music becomes popular because it's good. The context in which you used "we" was douchy.. the chinese/barbed wire sounds like a super sweet combo by the way I may just add that to my ink.
@harrison58 fuck that, they deserve to get paid and play huge shows for fans. If everyone started listening to the Black Keys, the herd would be a lot better for it.
@harrison58 Save the elite-ism buddy! EVERYONE should hear bands like this! I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate hearing that a fan wants them to go unheard for the rest of their lives. Share the love, make mix-tapes for your friends, people on the street, and never, ever, ever, EVER say that good music should go unnoticed. If you love , respect, and have faith in a bands integrity, than the fear of "selling out" should never even cross your mind!
@onthe165 I agree with you! Mainstream music is not my favorite kind but I would actually love if more ppl heard this kind of music.. cuz then it would mean bad taste in music would actually be extinct.
Plus i don't think this guys would change their style even if they got lots of ppl to hear them..

@harrison58 I hear ya. I think it is important that you trust in the artistic integrity of the keys though. I am very confident that no matter how big they get they will write good tunes and play amazing shows. That is all that I care about really.
