[charliesmovies1234]

[VanillaVercetti]

I just keep watching the opening for when he comes out of the intro and the drums come in. So badass

[dmagin777]

[maxir123456789]

[steelercrazyTV]

Everyone should have to view this video before they die. Friggin' awesomeness.

[Slohand1993]

SOOO raw and full of energy!! Thumbs if you agree. :)

[uvebeentagged]

"We're the black keys, we're from akron ohio and we are fucking amazing"

[anythingfunnyful]

Dan> Pat^

[talksense101]

Music isn't dead. Good performance.

[kelkam]

This is the best version of the song

[Bachir0321]

[nikobesti]

Dope.

[endurancemusic]

[RkadeFingerboards]

Who new two white guys from akron could play the blues so good. God these guys fucking rock

[IcyScythe]

Man I love that dirty tone

[coopers66]

Now this is what fuzz should sound like!

[5Harring]

@coopers66 no "smooth, violin-like warm fuzz" here!!!!! this is def fuzz at its best!!!

[silversunseven]

Genius!

[JumpPunchandRUN]

that is probably the best intro ive ever heard in my life, that was just so wrong, it was beautiful.

[AnisMRahal]

16 ears exploded today.

[801Current]

I now know it is possible to make a telecaster the dirtiest stringed instrument on this planet.

[xTHExWASPx]

@801Current that and the Gibson ES that he plays

[AlmightyScubba]

Ballsy like Hendrix.

[motorin25]

You could cut this fuzz with a knife.

[endpoem]

@dragoons

I never said Emarosa was better, you assumed that. You're a tough guy for spewing insults over the internet. Learn how to have an discussion like an adult w/o resulting to immature insults. Btw Jonny Craig's voice will enlighten people.

[audiladya4]

His voice makes my heart explode. 

[dragoooons]

@endpoem

yeah, and you're enlightening people by suggesting Emarosa on a Black Keys video....grow up, fag.

[endpoem]

John Coltrane too

[endpoem]

Very mature ending, like most people who express their opinions online. Theirs a big difference between influence and imitation. Ok let me rephrase, pioneers of the way rock sounds today. Chuck berry and all them were the grandfathers/creators of rock... whatever word you wanna use. Chill bro, I'm glad you're enlightening people with these great musical references.

[endpoem]

This is my last comment on this subject. Y'all can bash me all you want...the discussion was fun.

[endpoem]

Anything by Hendrix, do you know who that is?

[endpoem]

If you read my earlier comment I clearly stated that every rock artist is a derivative of 60s rock. However when you "steal" and don't add anything new to it...you shouldn't be deemed the pioneers of new rock. KOL already have that title...

This convo is going nowhere so I respectfully agree to disagree.

[darty788]

@endpoem This conversation is going nowhere because you completely ignore the history before the 60's. Players in the 60's were inspired by old blues and jazz musicians. But you claim that those in the 60's were the pioneers of rock n roll. What a joke. Music is a fluid thing that evolves through inspiration and imitation. Ask any musician and they will tell you they all tried playing like someone else. Who played crossroads first? Cream? NO, IT WAS ROBERT JOHNSON. Now kindly fuck off.

[endpoem]

*stealing

[endpoem]

I never said Emarosa was "musically deep" I think they def separate themselves in the "flamboyantly gay" genre as you. If you can honestly say that Jonny Craig's voice amazing, then I guess I don't know good music? I'm 30 bro, look I can tell you're upset cause I called your band out. However I never said they sucked or were gay...just saying if I wanna hear bluesy songs and toned-down guitar riffs...I'll listen to 60's rock. Ask any musician and see if they don't tell you that BK is blatanly s

[kingharvest]

@endpoem If you know any musicians who think they- or any other musician- aren't blatantly stealing all the time, then you know some terrible, amateur musicians. Any artist with the tiniest bit of self-awareness would tell you this.

[jsrnash12]

@endpoem Post a song that is so similar to this one please. A link to its video even. SHould be easy right?

[endpoem]

The reason why everyone likes this band is because blatantly copy 60's rock( Hendrix mostly!) All bands nowadays are some derivative of classic rock but these guys aren't shy about stealing.

Check out Emarosa!

[dragoooons]

@endpoem Emarosa? Yeah, they're so musically deep playing emo rock for 16 year old fans like the other million bands that already do that. Good call. Also, if you had any musical knowledge before the year 2000( probably not bc you are probably some 16 yr old...if older then im embarrassed for you that you're still listening to emarosa) you would know they aren't copying anyone especially the great Hendrix. Emo rock is like metal's flamboyantly gay younger brother.

[TheRightWing35]

Depressed Ryan Gosling from the notebook

[nipatricio]

2:12 c'mere. now.

[byssny222]

The way Patrick backhands the symbols you would think he was a pimp!!

[KristianEgs]

one word. Awesome!

[thoops6]

I can't stop watching this... this is just unreal. Dan's tone with Pat's fierce drumming is so fantastic. If this is the way blues/rock are headed in the 21st century... count me in!

[Rob0602]

You dirty, dirty boys.

[skunkape2]

Dankilicious!

[JeffersonBredow]

[MusicManJL]

[KrisKR1NGLE]

@MusicManJL Definately some fuzz... most likely overdrive as well.

[boobdude9]

[orangeandblue0687]

:11 missile lock. :13 detonation.

[samthehiggins]

at 2:48 my balls fell to the floor

[chubacaman1]

@tele757 do you really have to come a black keys video to say the black keys suck and to tell everyone your better than them at guitar? This is the second time I've seen you on black keys video, and you keep doing the same shit. Just stop commenting for the sake of everyone.

[IsChrisWhat]

is he using a big muff?

[DrDchaos]

@IsChrisWhat of course mann

[countchunkula]

The guitar rifts alone make my Arthritis act up, this shit is unnatural.

[jorbacco91]

@countchunkula the masterbating to this song wouldnt help it either. i sure am anyway

[tele757]

i play at al level of pAge, Iomi, Black more, Jeff Beck from 0's, Gilmour, john pAul Jones pink noyz on myspace music--what you think i would reveal my originals. Well most of the tunes are loosely based on floyd, but its just a starting point,you'll see

[Ubersnipe]

If you want to get technical, the Black Keys mostly do covers of blues songs while Led Zeppelin wrote most of their stuff from scratch. They also differ greatly in that their singers sound nothing alike.

I don't care what the Black Keys' singer sounds like, the fact that he can be a singer in a successful band while laying down some sweet guitar riffs is enough for me. Even if it doesn't take a lot of skill, he can still hit pitches that I can't.

[tele757]

@Ubersnipe yea, Palnt is a onc in a lifetime thing, whereas DAn has a thin voice and must rely on expensive mics ans sing withthe drone to fatten and vive his voice out. Eric Buren, Steve MArriot, Chris Robinson all eons better

[gugugagalolo]

yaman... totally good man! God damnit... yaaaaaaaah!

[tele757]

Led Zeppelin - We're Gonna Groove (live at Royal Albert Hall 1970 ...

Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - Sick Again [PAL]

u guys are trippin, zep 2 sec in defeats the keys on all levels

[beenohopps]

@tele757

Dude, how dare you compare The Black Keys and Led Zeppelin. Somebody must've dropped you on your head or something when you were little. I'm insulted, and I can guarantee that the entire rock genre personified would take insult to your comparison. There is no comparison, but The Black Keys sure as hell wipes their asses with any rapper nowadays. I'll take them over anything out right now.

[tele757]

@beenohopps they are not much better than rappers, because his blues format has been done better and with more instrumental prowess The keys suck because they take cues from hip hop and r and b beats which are self limiting. They cannot evolve o since their instrumental prowess,a nd not able to lead and improvise makes them formulaic and no different then rap, albeit goo tone/production and cleverly marketed. MAn i was there for rocks hey day so dont lecture me

[tele757]

Respond to this video... ze slays every modern band todya because PAge chose virtuosos carefully wheras TBK were friends who jammed in a basement and make tapes, and were not born to play instruments with natural ability, timing, the extra thing. Arrangements, post production, mimixing, use odf= dark and shade, 

[tele757]

Respond to this video... playingg behind the beat, introducingg fresh ideas to 1 2 bar format like Rock n roll, talkingg acoustic numbers like thats the way, or Hat soff roy harper and doin g tphings even jazz cats could appreciate

[BuddyRider]

@tele757 Im starting to think you legitimately have no life if you took this black keys arguement to MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL. No one wants to hear how great you are you snotty hipster!

[tele757]

this riff is not even a riff, its just hammering on in open position, and it is sloppy an performed badly/

[mellwood23]

@tele757 your typing is performed worse

[tele757]

this just sucks, bunch of amateurs. Like ZZZ top if they sucked. MAn its easy to sing on the drone and sound like your real. His rhythm hand sucks. Just aweful

[dk212]

love the drum kit!

[fazialpalmierung]

SICK Freakness! Awesome!

[Bassfan2112]

eargasm

[n23f]

[SemenDemon12]

[biginz1981]

This song hits so damn HARD. That drum kick coupled with Dan's mean ass fuzz riff is earcandy Son!

[radiopixy]

MUTHAFUCKIN RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW!!!­1

[JewsCantBePiratz]

[aJOBforCLAYTON]

[Tangarango]

[timlucas7]

13 people are gay and homphobic.

1342 are not

great song, great drum beating by pat up arrow

[maximon72]

i am staggering, drunk, its dark - rainy and thirsty. I walk into a Bar and there is total silence - Fools surround me, i cut my hand on a metal bench. I look at the barman and he pours me the best beer ever - i turn around and the juke box rattles and accidently - and very loudly starts playing this tune - Loud, very LOUD....HELL YEAH!!!!

[808Producer]

[JewsCantBePiratz]

If I were ever to go skydiving, with a semi-automatic rocket launcher, killing clouds of invading aliens every second, and boning jessica alba the whole time . . . I would do it listening to this song. it is, in its most literal form danknastyness.

[rawu10000]

@JewsCantBePiratz don't use the word dank to describe this song you 16 yr old douche pothead.

[dickyholdy]

@rawu10000 i def agree with him.

[crazzzybeeotch22]

@rawu10000 n just wtf is wrong with being a pothead!! big fucking deal dude!! get over it!! DANK DANK DANKY STANKY BITCH!!!! :P

[StainIessChina]

@rawu10000 He didn't use the word dank, he used the word danknastyness, which is a synonym for thickfreakness, it's all in the blacktionary, the tome that the Black Keys consult for songwriting.

[TransverseWaves]

@rawu10000 Don't criticize the use of slang you super serious elitist douche

[JGill93]

@rawu10000 it's dank though

[SuperPurpleUrkle]

@rawu10000 This song is dank!

[skaterpoodles]

@rawu10000 this song (pauses to hit the blunt) is too dank bruh

[moistbill]

I wish I could give multiple thumbs up for the use of "danknastyness" @JewsCantBePiratz
