[keepmusicevil89]

this is a trolls den fuck you stackshot

[jezzejam]

Dan has some BIG BALLS...because the...guitar at the start is... Never mind

[stackshotbillie]

@jezzejam AND YOU HAVE SOME small balls BEACAUSE...YOU...DON'T HAVE...A CLUE.

[jezzejam]

@stackshotbillie ??? the guitar is related to AC/DC's big balls...This sentence will never sound right...

[08stratguy]

lol....used your cellphone to record your tv screen....FAIL

[stackshotbillie]

@08stratguy LOL YOU'RE A CUNT!

[fantasticfish96]

hey, if your recording of this performance were better than theirs then why would you be watching someone else's?? is it faster to type a complaint than find a higher quality vid??

[stackshotbillie]

@fantasticfish96 What the hell are you talking about?

[fantasticfish96]

@stackshotbillie i mwan like if you dont like the vid dont complain, just find another 1

[earthgodd3ss]

The Black Keys are good beyond words. Though Thickfreakness, Magic Potion & Attack and Release are my favorite albums I love ALL their stuff. Mmmm...The Black Keys

[nudezooland]

yr awesome- not only does the band rock(obviously), but its done oldschool- straight from the lounge room source 80's styles!!-- good onya man ;D

[stackshotbillie]

@nudezooland Thank you! I'm glad that you like it.

[mushmush101101]

sick perfomance quit bitchin

[rabclotheslinesaga]

i really like how you recorded it off your tv cause it makes me think your really poor and i like that.

[rocklegend94]

Really, ever heard of a dvd recorder?

Now, try responding without calling names!

[stackshotbillie]

@rocklegend94 You're such a stupid fuck! Now I have to block you for being such a stupid fucking dickhead! No, I never heard of a dvd recorder you fucking moron!

[ChrisG1216]

rip off of hendrix 's manic depression riff

[Freemoviesrock]

@ChrisG1216 Sorry bro, but this riff and the riff in manic depression aren't exactly the same. Think before you speak, think about what you are going to say before you say it.

[ChrisG1216]

@Freemoviesrock ...i know its not exactly the same ..im not hater..just think that the riff is derived ..and the song relies so heavliy on it ...saw them the other night and wasnt blown away..glad some is still playing stuff like this ..but not as blown away as some people i know by this band..they were hyped up by some friends and i was expecting more....

[Freemoviesrock]

@ChrisG1216 Oh okay. I see where you are coming from now. Yeah, they are still a good band, but really anybody who gets in the mainstream today will seem that way. So much music has been made and passed and it's hard for everyone to sound completely original. That's cool you saw them live though, even if they didn't blow you away.

[caseface213]

@ChrisG1216 Naw its not the same however there is an influence of that riff on this one I believe.

[strongbad73]

@ChrisG1216 nothing in this song is a hendrix rip off, this is coming from someone who started playing guitar 14 years ago because of what i heard on hendrix's albums. these guys are very original and sound great even with the simplicity of their music. i learned their magic potion and thickfreakness albums in a day just sitting infront of the stereo with a guitar. they are good! ur just blinded by all the other shit music out there today.

[tele757]

@strongbad73 While all other music today is shit, it does not make this better when compared to more authentic acts of yesteryear that these guys are emulating. f you have been playing guitar for 14 years, how can you deny that the main motif of the riff, (the part that is the best part) is not the same as Hendrix no matter what key, or how fast you play it.

[strongbad73]

@tele757 i never said it was the same?

[Michaeliskirchen]

stop that hatred pls and enjoy the music instead

[michaelcj5]

I hate you people who record off the TV and then post shit on here.

[stackshotbillie]

@michaelcj5 Too bad if you don't like it dickhead! And you could take your hate and stick it up yer ass!

[1984bandito]

I love this album!!!

[lutecore]

hes fucking smashing those drums, great stuff.

[bleeding9]

I dig every song i hear by them. I love this music. Music that has feeling and movement behind it. Keep going B.K.!

[telifonjasser]

there's a high quality clone of this video right here:

watch?v=q9AfKcHwoP4

incredible performance.

[aabighead]

Damn.  I should of looked at the comments first.

[hypnoxic]

ok making a record is kind of like a science.

u have to take note of everything.

but this band is as raw as we'll ever get to watch on Letterman. i asure you.

[danagarro]

same video w/ better quality is by defjam99b its on the related video thing

[liamhart19]

dont know what jdawgtha is on but he sure doesnt know what he is on about the black keys are the dogs bollocks! top notch

[AceBiscuits]

damn good band. i only got into them yesterday when i bought this album lol

[lnic16]

jdawgtha, obviously they're fucked up. Give the drummer a break. Second, it's called good songwriting. That's just as much talent as shredding a guitar.

[jdawgtha]

Regarding my earlier comment below about mistakes on the studio record, I guess in fairness their producer is probably more to blame for that. Among other things the producer's job is to be a "coach" to get the best possible performance out of the musicians. Playing in the studio and playing live are two different animals in that regard. But I still stand by my assessment that this drummer isn't very good. You opinion may vary based on your own criteria of what "good" is.

[msdac123]

Mate,do you have one good comment about The keys? Most critics can't "do" is what speaks the loudest in your opinions. By the way, what is your claim to fame,or technical expertise?

[jdawgtha]

As far as I have heard thus far from TBK, one good thing I can say about them is that at least they are trying by playing real instruments- a guy playing a guitar into a raging amp, and a guy beating away at real drums is cool. But generally speaking, they just aren't very good at it. But, to each his own...you can like whatever you want.

[inxsfan66]

you still did'nt answer my question; what is your claim to fame or technical expertise? The Blues (which the Keys predominantly are) is based on communication more so than technical perfection, in other words if you want to create an impact (which The Keys obviously do) the rule is; NEVER SACRIFICE COMMUNICATION FOR TECHNICAL PERFECTION. The Black Keys create an IMPACT, thats all thats neccessary, the proof is in their popularity.

[jdawgtha]

I am just giving my opinion- to which I am entitled, just like you and everyone else here. But to more directly answer your question: I am not famous (I have no "claim to fame").

I have been playing music on guitar and other instruments for almost 30 years. My experience/technical ability is irrelevant, but if that's what you need to know, there you have it.

By the way: if you want to hear a young guy/band who can really kill, check out Davey Knowles and Back Door Slam.

[jdawgtha]

"The Black Keys create an IMPACT, thats all thats neccessary, the proof is in their popularity. "

Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, and Katy Perry are all very popular as well. If popularity proves The Black Keys create an "impact", does that logic ("the proof is in their popularity") also apply to Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, and Katy Perry?

[ecscottindiana]

Don't worry about it dude, he's high. IMPACT is how cool the GROOVE is MAN. That's his personal definition

Also this video is like witnessing Zepplin

Also both of them are fucking forces of nature.

[quiksilver77]

jdawgtha - i would LOVE to hear some of your musical recommendations then for the trashing you've put on these guys. these guys are a solid 2-piece.

[SeaverofSweden]

its funny, I've always pictured the instruments the guys play being the exact opposite.

[TheYellowDiscipline9]

Who the HELL records a video off a TV screen???

[stackshotbillie]

You're an Idiot Dude!

[theblackkeyssuck]

Yeah, Dude- you're an retarded idiot. It's OK by me. AMAZING!!! BEst bande ever. Better than White Strips, but they-r good too.

[stackshotbillie]

You've been blocked for being a fuck head!

[sta0005]

@theblackkeyssuck Either you're a fairly obvoius troll, or you're really, REALLY stupid.

[mrcannonskull]

@TheYellowDiscipline9 freak...

[stackshotbillie]

@TheYellowDiscipline9 Your mother gave me the idea fuckface!

[stonescourt3]

i can only hope to be one tenth as good as that dude! wow....blew me away!

[blackkeysblow]

wow...blew

[jdawgtha]

One tenth as good as this guy? You need to set your standards a LOT higher than that. This guy can barely play in tune, and the drummer's timing is so bad that he's even dropping beats on the STUDIO record, much less live. If you like this music then great- listen and enjoy. But to think they are proficient on their instruments- sorry, you're wrong. And if you think this is simply "minimalism", understand that poor musicianship and minimalism are two different things.

[billheslop]

typical so called musician, go and have a wank over your guitar you fucking loser, i know so many musicians that think they play shit hot yet they havent got a creative bone in there body, jdawgtha i suspect your one of those types !!!

a good song is a good song dosent matter if you play it on a tin can with a couple of sticks, thats what youll never get a grip of and youll never go anywhere...

[jdawgtha]

If you like it, then listen and enjoy. Personally, I agree that "shredding" is lame. I agree that people who are all about shredding/playing fast, adn too focussed on the technical aspects of music are boring and have little true talent. I'm not one one of them. I absolutely agree that it comes down to the song; a shitty song played well is still nothing more than a shitty song.

This is a lame song played poorly. If it were an intersting song I could almost forgive the sloppy paying.

[CodySG29]

Someone hates the blues.

[jdawgtha]

Perhaps, but it's not me- I love the blues. Unless your definition of blues is to play and sing poorly, which again is not the same as "minimalism".

If you really want to hear the blues, start with Freddie King, Albert King, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, among many others. Even Jimi Henrix' album entitled "Blues" is great stuff.

[CodySG29]

Tell that to Junior Kimbrough's widow, her voicemail to the Keys is last track of the Keys' album cover album "Chulahoma". "You are the only ones that really play like Junior played his records. It makes me very proud."

And stop putting the word minimalistic in people's mouths. Just because one thinks that doesn't mean we all do.

[tiddlywinks98712]

there are always idiots like you who assume that, (no matter how good the music is), if the band is not part of the 'origional' blues artists its somehow rubbish. get over yourself

[jdawgtha]

You are mistaken: I understand your point and I agree- and I am definitley not one of those idealistic "idiots". In fact, there is a great young band I heard about sometime last year: Davy Knowles & Back Door Slam. They are great- check them out.

[jdawgtha]

To tiddlywinks98712- one other thing: you are making assumptions, not me. So maybe you're the idiot...?

[tiddlywinks98712]

ur an idiot with what u say, and its easy for anyone to see, judging by your comments, that you are one of those people who cannot like a new wave of a certain type of music compared to the 'origionals'

[jdawgtha]

You are wrong. Check out anything by Derek Trucks, or Back Door Slam, or Joe Bonamassa, or...(can go on and on). I guess to you, an "idiot" is anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion. O.K- so be it.

[colormemonkey]

that is the motherfucker! (a good thing!) terrible recording(camera pointing at tv screen), but who gives a shit! AWESOME!

[beherenow1981]

i've never seen patrick play what appears to be a 20" cymbal on his right hand... can someone PLEASE tell me if any ideas what kind od cymbal is that? PLEASE!

[elvenmidget]

He usually plays with Zildjians (which is love)....but it looks like these are Paiste (which I'm not crazy about). If you're looking for quality cymbals, I'd go with Zildjian.

[beherenow1981]

i normaly go with Zidjians... i'm all about that sound so i'm really interested in that same one 20'... too many to choose and very expensive i dont want to fkt it

[elvenmidget]

I personally have the Zildjian Hybrid K Ride. It has a loud bell and a great ride sound. I also use it as a crash (like Pat does) sometimes, and the sound is amazing.

[beherenow1981]

holly sh*t,

i may try that, tks

[elvenmidget]

No problem

[ShawnMattCraw]

There new cd rocks like their others. Come to Dallas

[CodySG29]

sounding that awesome is probably illegal in some countries.

[elvenmidget]

That's gold.

[elvenmidget]

Great stuff....I have this DVR'd in glorious HD....

[beherenow1981]

i hate you

kddn

[mcmeister89]

I just saw them in Royal Oak. Amazing show, got front row and got one of Pat's drumsticks. Highlight of my year so far.

[MindoverMatter22]

yeah i can see that. letterman is boring but he has good bands sometimes.. the black keys on letterman was amazing. no one goes on a talk show and puts on a show like they did last night

[tellingpool]

"the black keys on letterman was amazing. no one goes on a talk show and puts on a show like they did last night"

They rocked the Ed Sullivan theater. I was there.

[MindoverMatter22]

i missed the chance for the nyc show since it is sold out. i know it's going to be amazing and am pissed i am going to miss it

[tellingpool]

mindovermatter -- they were DJing at Other Music today for Record Store Day...sh&t was too funny b/c customers kept asking them about the store sale...how much of a discount do we get? Is this CD on sale, too? Can I see that record on the shelf behind you? They were too nice about it. They're busting out now so I don't know how long the peeps won't recognize them...

[MindoverMatter22]

yeah i knew about that via myspace, but they werent playing right? i didnt feel like going into the city for them to be djing. i do want to get some of their stuff on vinyl though

[momof4greatkids]

Freakin' amazing. I'm a little pissed cause I fell asleep last night watching letterman and waiting for these to go on... I won't make that mistake again.

[dgooley]

Anyone know what guitar dan is using?

[slightreturn21]

Its a Harmony... I saw him a few weeks ago in Vancouver and he was using a Harmony H75, not sure what model this is. Cant believe I had to work and missed this!

[Ickythump33]

WOOOT this was AWESOME!!!!

saw them 3 days ago in Royal oak, MI...BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!

[brp2z]
