Black Keys - Grown So Ugly

[TheElectricCentaur]

I've been digesting their albums for just a couple of months now. If this is their weaker stuff than that's very impressive. I just put their whole catalog on shuffle and i'm good.

[tenaciousE21912]

I get it, you all want your hipster cred for liking a band that got mainstream cred before they were known by the mainstream. But they are still the same band and haven't changed at all. They still have the same soul they had in the beginning. This is not the band to play the "gee they sold out card." They still have it.

[yugang08]

@tenaciousE21912 dont get me wrong, i love the gritty blues garage rock sound that they've became known for but at the same time i love the diversity/variety of music they have crafted. To go from the sound of the first 3 albums to brothers is a beautiful thing to me. They've made a great transition from one style of music to another, unlike many artists whos tried that and failed epicially (i.e. lil wayne attempting to do rock music...YIKES!!) and i welcome that as long as the music is good:)

[blackkeychucktown]

@yugang08 they made 5 full length albums before brothers

[yugang08]

@blackkeychucktown I know that. when i said the 1st three albums im referring specifically to The Big Come Up, Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory cause those albums were the most bluesy & raw. Magic Potion was more of a straight up rock out album and Attack & Release was more alternative sounding, so thats why im referring to the 1st three when comparing them to brothers.. I hope i cleared that up for you?

[aer0smith1]

@resonancecascade89 hey man, if you like the keys then you like the keys, what ever they do

[SCRex0472]

@aer0smith1 I was gonna say..onward and upward...they still are the same "kind" of musicians.



[MrIgnatenkov]

это круто!!!

реально!!!

парни так держать)))))

[tenaciousE21912]

I can't believe you guys. The Keys are evolving and getting BETTER! Their songs, while not as raw, are great songs. Well produced, sound great, good lyrics, good riffs, great voice. They haven't changed in any way and still play the old stuff. You have to evolve in the music business. The Keys are one of the very few examples of bands who have done so without selling out or sacrificing quality for mainstream appeal.

[sheadude6778]

@tenaciousE21912 LOLOL...

[yugang08]

@tenaciousE21912 thank you! i dont get why some of these long time black keys fans & critics alike are acting like brothers is the worst thing ever made when its really not. It has soul & the quality of music is THERE but its soulful in a funk rock-ish ol school R&B-soul kind of way and because it aint the same usual gritty blues rock stuff that means its terrible. If it were any other band that made the brothers albums i bet these same critics would have nothing negative to say about it.

[j5tj]

@resonancecascade89 that's what happens when they tell you here's a couple million and a recording studio

[cockardo]

@j5tj

..or they were just trying something new because they didn't want to be playing the same old thing and make an album that sounds exactly the same as all their other albums.

[maximof]

@resonancecascade89 i could not agree more. ok it's a good album, brothers. yeah, if considered as if it was their first

[rockhardrockfan]

Telecaster!!!



[Colin2720]

@resonancecascade89 I forget who said this, some famous bluesman. I think it was Willie Dixon. "blues is the roots: everything else is the fruits". The Black Keys are just producing fruit now haha. I mean, it all sounds spectacular, but it's just not as raw anymore. they'll go back though. I hope...

[cjohnson22463]

@resonancecascade89

best comment ever made on any bk video

[leadbelly1981]

Just cant listen to enough of this band, I listen to metal religiously but this shit has moved me towards blues and bluegrass, so simple but sounds so fukin awesome

[amickrocker]

[knipester2007]

@amickrocker Standard tuning in Em pentatonic maybe tuned a little flat.

[Floorwalker1337]

[enthnd03]

i think i've liked this song more than once

[spinnact]

[Profy00]

I think the world would explode if this guys ever jammed with the white stripes

[56oldssuper88]

Another beefheart one yeah!

[yourmomsplacenta24]

if these guys had never met i would have killed myself

[ZappaMaskReplica]

rofl that guy who shouts Break it down! its timed perfectly hah

[Omie789]

I think Dan used to look so cool, when he played Telecasters and had no facial hair.

[blackkeychucktown]

@Omie789 i think he played a vintage teisco

[fs07]

BAD ASS

[mjchopper54]

Faceeee MEEELLLLTTTTTT

[ahsgreenwave]

If you like this cover, their cover of The Beatles' "She Said She Said" is pretty awesome as well.

[kanibalis]

love the cover!

[danceian]

DAN IS FATHER OF JESUS

[phillfoote]

came here from beefheart-found nothing

[MrLedzepp88]

Nice tone from the tele

[BigFrikinCookie33]

so fucking great

[vitorbelfort]

BEEFHEART!

[flortega85]

2:16 yeah!

[klummp]

[telepylus111]

@klummp

This is sacred.

[InstinctBlues3]

[FourteenInTheMAking]

For just wo guys, the are MIGHTY!

[zang99]

[marinecam]

Hey, I'm c. johnson too! Neat.

Also, he looks sooo different without his beard...

[mrgooders]

*slow clap*

[litappleblossom1314]

Dan, you're such a cutie - and now we can actually see your face, finally!

[GV14982]

This is really old....sorry

[Amnesiac197]

Damn it, this is the Wisconsin show I missed shortly after discovering the Black Keys cuz I was still a minor.

[nirvomind]

long life To Rock 'n' roll xD

[CitizenKerry]

Dan is so unbelievably hot : |

[ryandude1994]

even with the huge beard?

[CitizenKerry]

Not as much with the huge beard but it's still all good :)

[naran13]

dude, ESPECIALLY with the huge beard.

[deatheater459]

YES

[skippyriddle]

Gosh, that was a good live version.

[TheClugger]

fucking awful

[SergeantShred]

This is a Beefheart cover, is it not?

[stopthrm]

Yes!

[kieran09]

original is by robert pete williams.

beefheart was a cover aswell

[willwkrueger]

this drummer sucks. i mean hes decent but compared to the drummer he is covering, its too weak. beefheart's drummer was creative and so put together some native american and african style grooves with blues form on Safe as Milk. This guy is even fucking up the stop time. Dont get my wrong, Im thankful beyond belief that they have the taste to know what song to try to cover, I just have a feeling it wasnt the drummers idea!

[gergface21]

correction. u suck.

[kieran09]

haha agreed.

its not a beefheart original anyway.

[yanzi420]

Coming from a Beefheart/John French fanatic: Patrick Carney is the perfect drummer for the Black Keys. In this version of the song, it's all about the raw passion, the explosion of drums and guitar after each verse. Dan and Pat are tight, and the song is fucking unstoppable.

[asgRYAN]

my favorite black keys song

[guitardude454]

what tuning is he using?

[SurfingKnife]

standard eadgbe

[ShowYaHowtaHusl]

captain beefheart can suck my fuckin balls, Black Keys kick ass!

[KERAKAO]

sorry, but you're wrong :)

[josiesezlol]

woot

[ajk1989]

my god that's amazing... this song is constructed so well! fucking love black keys!!!

[JimiyDoorsHamelech1]

Fergie's way better than these guys

[captross07]

WHAT? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?

[pls24]

man this is an awsome version

[bhmskim]

this is the best live version of this song I've seen yet.

[ms1146]

Have you all heard the original version? any Captain Beefheart fans out there? Listen to him, its fking amazing.

[shamrocks89mink]

captain beefheart doesnt origianlly do thhis song...its an old traditional bues song

[outlawbluez]

Have you heard The Black Keys Cover Captain Beefheart

[imbaman1337]

these guys got soul

[CicconeYouth04]

@imbaman1337 Had soul. They lost it. This stuff was honest, "Brothers" is just to make more money.

[TheMorozovChannel]

@CicconeYouth04 Your opinion man, but Brothers still has soul. It really does.

[RealOutOfSight]

@CicconeYouth04 You really need to listen to Brothers again. It had plenty of soul. "Unknown Brother" for example

[stokkaboy]

i cant wait for lolapollooza this year

[dunnyd]

they are the best band right now..

[doodmandood777]

No, they are the best band EVER.

[morneau333]

LOVe them!!!!!! they are so great!!!! so are the beatles!

[MirrorImaged]

Any band that covers Captain Beefheart is amazing.

[george383]

Don Van Vliet covered it from Robert Pete Williams.

[mojoelem]

Unbelievable! This is Junior Kimbrough & RL Burnside resurrected. Today only Alvin Youngblood Hart has this amount of soul. These youngsters are among THE BEST ever.

[vrv1020]

Their best performance of this song I've seen

[xSoundlessx]

love how dan's hair moves!

[nivek0270]

it just means he'll be bald by the time he is 45 or so... lol but gangster sound!
