The Black Keys "Stack Shot Billy" Live

[Geetarking62]

WOLFMAN!

[CyberFaceCF1000]

What makes this the best YouTube video of this song is when Dan starts the song the crowd flips out, unlike some other ones were the crowd is a bunch of hipster douches.

[morgantown1]

good seats, good username

[danizappa]

Raw, pure...

[TeachMeHowtoDougZ]

Any idea what tuning he is in? It's not standard, that much i know.

[TheAKprogram]

does anyone know why he sets up his amps like that?

[crunchb3rry]

@TheAKprogram Open G tuning live, open G# for the album.

[TheAKprogram]

@crunchb3rry ?

[maartnbaele]

@TheAKprogram I think he wants the sound from the two amps to interfere, adding to the rawness... but that's just my guess.

[wilifili1]

@TheAKprogram no way, probs cos he has them heaps loud and because of that, there would be heaps of guitar feedback is they are pointing right at him, and also not to make him deaf, and also so the amps volume dont mix with the PA's volume :)

[deaconbrandonreeves]

@TheAKprogram the amps are sideways so that he doesn't get too much guitar signal going into the vocal mic. It also might keep the first few rows of people in front of the stage from getting blasted.

[TheAKprogram]

@deaconbrandonreeves thanks man

[V3niceKing]

@deaconbrandonreeves Also so he doesn't get unbearable feedback from that beast of an SG he's playing. You stand anywhere near the amp with a guitar like that with that much overdrive, you make people deaf with that ringing haha

[jammoutlv]

2 people are named Billy

[crunchb3rry]

OMG, this is like the best performance of this song I've seen. That lazy slide at 1:41 was godlike.

[LedZeppelinisgod100]

@crunchb3rry dude I DUG that slide. that was pure mojo.

[ledzepzoso03]

Just to clear up any confusion, that is in fact an Ibanez lawsuit SG, rather an actual Gibson SG.

[educassiano]

Hope they ever get to throw some more raw tracks like this.

[jab5569]

Thanks Magic for this video! I just recently found TBK and you're right, this is the best live performance of this song. And no worries mate, the filming was really good.

[ambrbeth]

i could so watch this instead of porn much better

[BigCM06]

best intro ever.

[ryandude1994]

i'd love to say thats an epiphone SG..but its not..its not even a gibson..its an ibanez from the 70's, its even rarer than the original gibson which sells at about £10.000, that is a guitar for the gods.

[urpal123]

@ryandude1994 very fitting to say the least then

[hiebarooni]

@ryandude1994 no, that's a gibson...

[ryandude1994]

@hiebarooni no its not, look up "ibanez lawsuit SG white" theres a lot of differences, or just look at the black keys live and grimeys records and compare it to a gibson white sg,

[Jessespade1]

god damn makes me proud to have grown up in akron as shitty as that town is.

[thatwalrusguy]

haha tell me about it man. these guys are my heroes.

[masonfain]

I found these guys in 2002 just by trolling around Rhapsody looking for anything that sounded like The Sonics from the

60's and I found their cover of Have Love WIll Travel...my life changed the minute I heard these guys. They are uncomprable.

[wethebest1213]

@masonfain my explanation of them to everyone. yay

[wethebest1213]

@masonfain my explanation of them to everyone. yay. not exactly lol but you know

[johnstone587]

@masonfain I totally agree. I first heard their Magic Potion album on my first deployment (USMC, 24th MEU(SOC) June-Dec.2006) when a buddy of mine got it randomly off another guy's iTunes. I overheard him listening and was hooked in the first 30 seconds.

[rayzard]

The Best.

[crazysanor]

well welcome to akron music

[JesseInDetroit]

@crazysanor yeah they are from akron... but i seen them in akron and the home crowd was lame... me and my gf were six rows back and we were the only ones dancing and getting down... the other 5 times i've seen them in Detroit everyone was grooving... so idk what that says about akron ppl... but the keys rock and the akron museum of art was cool... but the ppl idk about lmao

[bobblunn]

The Black Keys are great!

My daughter turned me on to them about 6months ago and they've been on heavy rotation on my mp3 player ever since.

The song "I'll Be Your Man" is featured on the new HBO show "Hung", so they're starting to gain some noteriety.

I love their stuff and also love it that young folks a digging their music.

Thanks for sharing &

Jam ON!

[RoaR3000]

Well...To be fare,they them selves are kinda also the 'young folks' ,so right on to them for grabbing jimmy ect out of there graves,and showing them back to the world in spades...

[educassiano]

Fuck yeah.

[Fififlan]

This son just kicked me in the fucking balls

thank god they saved music

[jakieeey]

WOW

[southparkboy619]

They make me proud to be a musician from Ohio.

[BrianCulticeMusic]

same here dude.

[crozly9999]

what a sound, silky lyrics, smooth sound combined with thick heavy guitar. mint..

[ambrbeth]

dude i heard about these guys 2 weeks ago man they are awsome nmy 2 fav

[educassiano]

It's been around 15 mins I've ever heard about this Black Keys duo and I am already amazed. Very cool dirty like style, this guitar tone got me.

[panderson22]

me too! i ad no idea who they were and within one day i had all their albums they are so sick

[VanRobaysDaan]

had the same experience as you guys

their simply awesome

[MickyG4444]

Haha

[MickyG4444]

I've been trying not say this... because it's kind of... I don't know....

But I would love to see Dan jam with Jack White

[dwigtschrood]

i think that could be awesome.

[twinkletoes366]

Don't worry, I think the same thing. It would be so epic.

[yoshy321]

I want that guitar!!!!

[educassiano]

And I want that guitar style!

LOL

[Stratcast89]

Good preformance

[monkeysee79]

Their performance of this tune on Letterman was killer.

[jlobsien]

saw dan auerbach in boston a few days ago. he was shredding on a nice new red gretsch. his solo album is good stuff.

[mdavis6791]

his white sg is sooooo cool!

[uriw1989]

fucking legendary

[msudog30]

does anyone know what tuning he's playing in?

[pinkpanther977]

open G i think

[Creamlistner]

Standard guitar tuning.......

tune is done by double-picking strings to get harmonics.

[TedNugent555]

does anyone know all the petals he uses?

[Wooodstock69]

Hi went to a concert of them im the netherlands and took a picture off hiss pedals.

This is what I know for sure. a vintage super fuzz and vintage big muff, somekind of RED analogman pedal, a/b box and a boss tuner

peace

[Wooodstock69]

The analogman pedal is a delay pedal..

peace

[evend32]

Yeah dude, it still turned out awesome with the phone! I LOVE THESE GUYS!!

They're really one of the only youthful bands you can find anymore that really sticks to blues. White Stripes maybe but they have a lot of punk in their roots.

[welovethedinosaurs]

check the raconteurs

its jack whites other project

they have some blues in them too

but still no where near as good as the black keys

[evend32]

yeah, i actually checked them out before the BK.

I like that the Raconteurs are so experimental...they do all kinds of stuff.

[MrFitz09]

There is no one quite like the Black Keys.

I love these guys.

[YUG74]

Get yer neck into that boy..oooh ;) the shit!! blues rock 4ever

[mariannedebruin]

This is one of their best songs!

Really like the vid.!

[colormemonkey]

this shitty recording only serves to remind me why I fucking love these guys. A great song is great, even if you gotta serve it up with a cell phone video. Thank you!

[6The6EyE6]

Totally agree with you dude. And I really gotta see these guys sometime, I love 'em. :D

[doyourealize77]

The Balls.

[kissandra]

Awesome :D
