God how can you fuck up such a great beatles song-You should be embarassed, this sucks to the 9th degree-You wouldnt know what melody was if it fell out of the sky and landed on your face!!!!Go work at Mcdonalds
@kevdoorley64 in case you didnt know, Dan auerbach (thats the name of the leader singer of the black keys, and based on your music knowledge I dooubt you knew that) would probably give all the props in the world to John Mayer. John mayer is prolly one of the best and most influential music writers and guitarists of our generation. O and by the way as much as I love and am a huge fan of Dan Auerbach, I have no doubt in my head John mayer could literally cover this song in his sleep. Good day
People dont realize how hard covers are. you have to rework a song with the vibe of your band to make it even worth a listen. Otherwise why not just listen to the original song? People come to covers to hear reworkings, not judge songwriting, and thats what people miss, and as a result is detrimental to the band as a whole.
I am a HUGE Beatles fan, and usually cringe when I see a Beatles song on a record, but damn, TBK nail this one in the studio and live. I love TBK... Sloppy or not, Dan plays with emotion and is kicking ass (Pat is a killer drummer too, nothing crazy fancy, but damn he can move the song along)
This is what I call music, free and loose. You can just feel the emotion they put into their work. When songs paint a picture in your mind you know the bands doing something right. Love the keys, they're keeping music real.
Thanks cjohnson, for putting all this up. I've been searching in today's music for this ultimate raw 60's sound for so long and found it in TBK. Seeing them live in november, HELL YEAH.
did anybody else notice that dan changed the lyrics a little. on the beatles version it's "she's making me feel like i've never been born" dan says "she's making me feel like i never was born". not a bad thing, just asking if anybody else noticed.
@ShotGunAnd often adding more instrumentalists can heed on the improv possibilities, thats why people like jimi hendrix in the band of gypsys and eric clapton in cream didn't really like having rhythm players. The Keys just seem even more improv than even them.
these guys need to be pumping through everyones stereos, car radios, everything! Music needs a revival and this will at the forefront of such. I love em'.
He IS sloppy, though. It's the same thing that Jimmy Page gets accused of being and its not a bad thing. In my mind it's just another style of playing that emphasizes being soulful and frenetic over strictness of play. Imagine him playing every note, chord, and solo the same every time he picked up a guitar and tell me that you like it better.
@scrazzlepots I'm with it man. The imperfections are part of what makes them so amazing. the human element ya know...its what allows the blues to exist really. If I wanted perfection I would listen to top 40 radio.
@scrazzlepots I don't know if you mean in general but that wasn't sloppy at all, that's how it is supposed to sound live, it's not like he hit wrong notes or anything.
@kevdoorley64 John Mayer is probably one of the most talented musicians out there right now. And as for Jack Johnson, he writes sick melodies and is quite possibly the chillest guy on the planet. I really don't see the point of comments like yours. Would it really hurt you to explore different genres? Hell, John Mayer is bluesy, as are The Black Keys.
@kevdoorley64 Jack Johnson and John Mayer are both outstanding musicians in their own right, as well as The Black Keys, and the Beatles, which makes me wonder, what on Earth does Jack Johnson and John Mayer have to do w/The Black Keys, covering a relatively unknown Beatles song?
tacStar253 is the guy that listen to "real music" right? Bands like Nickleback in that genre I call generic rock. For anyone to say Mayer and Johnson suck is someone that doesn't know what they're talking about. It just doesn't logically add up.
i'd have to agree with dan when he said that the black keys music is, "perfectly unperfect". it's the sound they're going for. appreciate it for what it is. don't criticize it for what it's not. if you want technical perfection, go comment on a satriani, or malmsteen video.
"sloppy" means playiing over one's edge, beyond what one can do ...rocking; "perfect " is scairdy or pompass, not rocking, testosdeficenct non intoxing like de-alc
martinis
high speed perfection is playiing slow while recording slow and the speeding up the playback.or vibrating the pick a lot.
you guys are imbeciles if you think that this is "sloppy guitar playing" you're the same assholes that bash john mayer and jack johnson and shit you have to feel what the music's about it's not about conforming to a certain rhythm or beat it's blues rock and he pulls this song off beautifully with one note off key the entire time, and improvising on scales not easy to do (especially when it's not your song to begin with). The Black Keys are an incredibly talented band
Carney does seem to let it hang out in this performance. Definitely a live sound. A big, relatively rowdy audience might not be able to appreciate (let alone hear) the delicacy Carney shows with his drums on their albums.
Dan isn't that sloppy. And anyways I don't get why people have a problem with sloppy guitar playing. I mean I believe sloppy is better than perfect it gives it a "human like" quality. and it sounds RAW!!!!!!
I wasn't being sarcastic or anything, I was saying for real that sloppy guitar IS what it's all about. Dan has one of the best guitar tones I've ever heard, it's really hard to replicate
this is what a cover should be. it's a waste of a record for a band to play a cover just like the original...the cover only has meaning if another band can bring new meaning to the song, or emphasize different parts than the original song did. black keys played she said, she said with a new twist that made it sound reminiscent, but not a carbon copy of, the beatles song, so it's a solid cover.
Love the BK's......Dan's sound IS sloppy....but It's REAL.....I'd rather hear his growl and slash on that Tele than hear any phoney-ass death metal kook or prance pants guitar jag-off wank.
@skidrow75 i think dan has to be one of my favorite guitarists. he puts allot of soul in his playing, like jimmy page. jimmy was one sloppy ass guitarist but his solo's still give me the chills.
sound a lot better if the he was a different dude and the drummer was a chick...
