[monse1232]

woody the wood pecker, everybody loves raymond, and bob saget. THEE most random topics mentioned in an interview. LOL love these fellas

[wick2107]

the best way to interview the black keys is to ask nothing about music.

[Zas379]

[FlakyShaky]

[TheNewWordMB]

[jdvsnme123]

[ekserchina]

I've been to Chicago many times and love that city as well as the food even though it's a heart attack waiting to happen. I'm not sure why people are looking at my comment as something bad and giving me thumbs down...it was a joke. People seriously need to lighten up a bit. :)

im more into the history of the italian beef sandwich..

[BassVolta]

HANDS DOWN the BEst Black Keys interview ever!!!

[bobicus990]

they tottally turned that interview around and got to talk about sandwiches

[InnerChiCity]

this is great

[ithevara]

haha this is the effect of weed after years of usage....

sweeeeeeeet!!

[cowtwichy]

are you talking about the interviewer or the keys.

the keys are fully aware of what they are doin

[lative]

imagine everywhere you went, you were asked the same questions?

I would funk around too.

[mitty12390]

@lative

It comes with the territory though. Don't do interviews if you're sick of the "same questions". The person doing the interview may be meeting them for the first time, or the viewer of that show may be hearing about them for the first time.

I don't know, they are nice guys but sometimes they come off as being rude because of their behaviour.

I get you would "funk around too", but in my my book that would be considered you being rude towards the interviewer.

Don't do them, then.

[zeustriassico]

polymers dude

[bonerbeagle]

HAHaha "im more into the heritage of the italian beef sandwich." the interviewer is such a wanker i hate him, dan and pat are idiots to everyone as usual, love it.

[leftywitt]

i do love this band, but this was pointless

[cowtwichy]

i love how they start the interview by asking the interviewer questions. these guys are great. slightly stoopid hot dogs. towards the end you can here Moe. start their set.

[adajensen]

the interviewer really loves chicago...get over it

[PilchersList]

"im more into the heritage of the Italian beef"

[WhiteStripe772]

This is the best interview i have ever heard. I love the Keys so much

[TheOscillataur]

what song do they start to play at the end?

[suburbanrefugee]

Thickfreakness

[mrbean54721]

the guys sound totally baked.

[iroxsoxs]

they r soooo hot

[domedeed1]

They r soooo baked

[iheartkidholden]

haha this guy wants to ask real questions, and they wanna talk about sandwiches.

[iheartkidholden]

haha this guy wants to ask real questions, and they wanna talk about sandwiches

[Barrazarama]

yah the interviewer looks like Joe Santriani,

and they are both enormous tools.

[kissandra]

The interviewer and Satriani or my guys, the Black Keys?

[Barrazarama]

The interviewer and Santriani dude, they are the tools.

Not The Black Keys, no way man

[reynolds101]

shove it.

[ChrisDorgan]

haha quite a humerous interview, its wud be like my band which would have nothing to say cept laugh go on random rants lol check out the hokes, we r from liverpool and all love the keys, they influenced my guitar playing quite a lot! love it thanks guys! junior kimbrough is amazing..im northern english lol liverpool rocks!

[Drew1234321]

the interviewer is a douche

[ashputtel]

holy cow! an interview with good audio! bookmark this rarity!

[pragdru]

marty is a geek. the keys are cool. i really enjoyed how absolutely nothing of importance was communicated in this interview. lucky, i'm from akron so i see these guys on a regular basis, angel falls, caribou coffee, chipotle...

[bel6606]

Sometimes I wish I lived in Akron and could run into the Black Keys at Chipotle!

[titaniumstarship]

Hell yeah...thank God there's raw music still happening...Check out a band called Blues and Lasers from Vermont if you like these guys...It's like the Black Keys meets Pink Floyd with two drummers.

[astros0]

im more into the heritage of the italian beef sandwich. lmao! dan and pat are so down to earth. they're awesome

[elvenmidget]

Yea, I talked to them for a while when they came through Nashville las time, they're really cool...not stuck up or smug or anything...and yes dan still has his beard and the dvd is great.

[thesea3000]

excellent vid!...

[rodblondel]

they gotta be so fuckin high all spaced out and shit talking about food almost more than the music. either way they still rock

[weedtoker420pot]

they seem high

[BigAndo21]

Some cool cats right there man. I love the look Patrick has as they bust into Thickfreakness.

[holydiver65]

These guy real cool and down to earth.

[EnterNirvana]

Lovin' Dans beard, any1 know if hes still got his beard ?

[kether003]

yup he does

[PoonJammer69]

lmao! this is the first interview i've seen of them.. they are hilarious.. does any1 have their live dvd?? is it any good

[carswell98]

"I find it slightly stupid" HAHA

[buffalohsoljah]

im more into the heritage of the italian beef sandwich, myself. haha

[kissandra]

Are you serious? I could swear I commented months ago when this was first posted that the baratone Woody Wood-pecker laugh thing was hysterical. I'm pretty sure I did. I love Pat. I love Dan. I love the Black Keys. They're just so great...in many ways.

[BassVolta]

Does the camera guy have a crush on Pat or what??

[kissandra]

I don't think so? haha Pat does most of the talking anyways :P

[tilikidis]

does anyone know what amp dan is using

[style54109]

He's known for using a Ampeg B-12XT on the Thickfreakness record (according to a guitar player magazine interview) but he uses a lot of different vintage amps. Watch the other videos on youtube and you'll see what I mean.

[verplexFlowsen]

59er marshall top, 100w, I guess. Over a 8x12marshall box. That's what it looks like.

[bayley90]

the interviewer is a knob, but these guys are great, slightly stoned im thinking too?

[kissandra]

Nah :)

[menef79]

Chicago? Roots of the Blues are in the South.

[imgooley]

you ever hear of chess records? how bout the chicago blues style? noob

[skurfja36]

you've adapted well to.....this.

[shamrocks89]

so awesome...these guys are one of the best rock acts around these days

[vrv1020]

I love Dan's laugh!

[judomouse]

Unacceptable beard & shades. Dorks.

[shamrocks89]

ur stupid

[kissandra]

"unacceptable" LOL

I disagree, I love the beardage :)

[FuzzingFreak]

The End was so awesome. THE CROWD!! I'm not used to see that many people in front of The Black Keys, but still awesome. THAT GUITAR SOUND, I LOVE IT!!

[zephead323]

I was second row right in front of Patrick. I don't remember the crowd being THAT nuts when they came on stage though. I was glad to be part of it, I thoroughly destroyed my neck muscles during that glorious hour.

[kelj0018]

Thats so cool. Ones wearing red the other blue. Desrcribes The Black Keys to a tee. Fire and Ice.
