@tele757 once again stop telling me to watch a bunch of videos I've already seen and studied from. The you have to have lived the times and gone to the concerts to understand bit is BS, and once again proves you think your something special who feels exalted above the rest. If you where as good as you think you are you wouldn't need to argue about how great you are. Good day
@Jed844 lets make an analogy, Yi say 2 + 2 =5 say emphatically that is is 4. How am I conveying to you inthis example that I am above you.. I am just defending the truth. The best guitarist on the world convey to me that they consider me to be one of the best guitarist they have met or played with. I don;t look for it, but it just is Its not like I have a 9 inch or even a 7 inch penis man..
@Jed844 whatever get over this human beings are emphatic and passionate about a position only because they must because be suffering in insecurity, I said 1" the classic rock bands had more talent and btter material and played it better. 20 that caused a litany of "how could you say that" " bla bla bla 3) I said I know because I happen to be not good, but GREAT 4) imbeciles like you write me and think I am on a crusade to gain popularity, albeit anonymously on the internet
There's a difference between learning to play a song and learning to make it's feel and attitude come out. most only are satisfied with learning to play it not learning to feel it.
The fact is the music you are looking for will only exist in the seventies period. Because even if a new band meets your standards they will immediately be persecuted for trying to copy the greats.
@Jed844 false. any band that would be good will have lived thru the 70's or cam eof age oin the 80's and grew up as kids listening to the 60's and 70's. It would take that for anyone to do re-invemt rock. Rock can only be re-tooled and rein ventyed since its been all done before. Compare YEs, Rush, Van Halen to TBK. What made these band better is MUSICAL TALENT,andCOMPOSITION SKILLed. You could form a supergroup of the best musicians/session players -and the band would drop jaws live
@Jed844 no 20 to 30 year old will be good enough to tie all the loose ends and trailblaze in a way the artists of those decades did. You will have to be at it for that long to be as good as the greats (with no bad influences like90's grunge and 3 doors down crap) to be able to be at the levbel of a Hdndrix, Page.And you will have to be born "with it": Dan and Art were not meant to be musicians, they are no better than so many others who play semi-professionally to leisurely.in basement
what a waste, all these kids on youttube trying to play Keys songs. I hear them come into Guitar Center all the time, and its unbearable to hear them play guitar. They shouldlearn to first play Son House and Muddy Waters, Page, Hendrix and would actually be ahead of the pack in maybe doing something good for rock n roll. You will not get better learning TBK songs I assure you of that. Better yet, too many gtrist learn bass, drums, and keys there is a shortage of good ones
@tele757 see that's your problem you're automaticaly assuming i've never see one of Led Zeppelins greatest performances. i've heard sting me, as well as most oll of the black crowes stuff. why do you assume i didn't. you gotta take a couple steps off the high horse and realize how incredible stuck up you sound, you aren't preaching anything i haven't heard or seen already so stop tryin to act like everyon is inferior to you.
@Jed844 The main thing you have to understand is there are other people out there who understand music besides you. i guarantee you most of the fans of the black keys have heard and seen all the big led zeppelin performances. this is nothing new to us, come on, you might as well have told me to go watch stairway to heaven, the more you talk the more pretentious you sound.

@Jed844 you have to have lived that era and been to their concerts. Try watching how the wets was one, and watch YEs also and learn man. This is not even a debate Tjose musicians were as good as Jazz cats, and they were session players that recorded on all the famous groups stuff. They created a bigger buzz bigger than the keys could ever without the internet. TBK would not be famous in 60's, that is a fact.
@tele757 i don't even need to touch the baseball to music reference, that did itself in. You probably should to listen to more keys because all those things you listed they do do in their music. But it is possible to have good music without following those guidlines. Good Blues in theory doesn't always change key, tempo, or rhythm.
@Jed844 i have seen them live and listened to all their records., but hat wasnt necessary-because really talented musicans are consitent in their greatness,. This is apparently their best song, and it rips of Hendrix Manic Depression riff but in a dummified way. also the song is a big loop. All that is left is expensive vintage equipment, and i think the tone is what kids recognize as being legit, but thats it, Every song starts with a no do great riff, does nt vary it within the structure
@Jed844 without augmented variation form the same rifff ..you fail already as a artist with artistic vision and execution. Page made sure that every riff throughout the song is altered so many times its hard to play exactly what he is doing This adds to the psychosocial stimulus of the song. HAts iff Roys HArper evolves too Black Submarine doesnt Its a riiff eminiscent of Traffic 's John Barley corn melded to a 2nd electrified part played poorly. Bad to average is not great
@Jed844 good blues requires calling and answering. The 1st 2 are part of the same theme, the 3rd is a new idea, 4th riff is the resoultion The keys do not play blues, They dick around exploiting whats bbeen done before whxih is ok when done right
All this music has been done better already, most they can do is keeo the bar as high and reinvent it, which they ghave not done John Spncers blues Explosion and Dirtbombs blow these guys away. This is teen basement rock, Glee with fuzz
its a crime thatTBK are more successful monetarily than the Black Crowes. Chris Robisnon was coureted by Jimi Page and they played together: check out "Sick Again: here on youtube to see them live.Imagine Page let someone fill in for Plant and the band. Chris Robinmsonm has a Real earnestsoulful voice best in rock n roll,and Dan is a whiner who steals his vocasl nuances from Kurt Cobain and sound like crap without a vocal effects (Black Submarine) TBK are amateurs ,Black Crowres are Real DEal
i am not being a snob, and not getting off on all this. Its just disturbing the llack of ability for tru music appreciation. How about a moire modern band.ten to Southern Harmony by the black Cowes.. Try a song called "Bad luck blue eyes" also listen to the albuym Amorica buy the black Crowes. I put the Crowes up there with classic rock because it As good asnd was made in the 90's and 2000's. The crowes really have "it" and they were all new on their instruments when they started
its simple these guys dont have the tocuh and raw ability talent then all the even mediocre gusy from rocks hey day,.

i understand that you think rating art is always a matter of opinion. But that psychocial opinion is formed by subtle musical ideas and musical devices (changes in timing, melodic counterpoint,resolution,key changes). It is fact that bands ike Zep use them, and bands like the Keys really dont.Thisis why Zep is a critically acclaimed band, same with Stones and the weaving of KEif and Woods guitars.Some baseball batters have better numbers,is that an opinion? Beter players=more consistent material
who is better the bEatles , zep, floyd , Hendrix, Clapton or the black keys...who has more artistic vision talent, raw ability, and playing chops? Just answer the question, thanks
@tele757 character. Speaking as though you are inferior to everyone else. Take a step off the high horse for a minute because what the 70's music is about is not what you're preaching.
@tele757 I didn't say the stones are better u said I'm not comparing them. Comparing bands is like comparing songs, solos, or guitarist. It's all opinion. The fact that you think my opinion is irrelevant is in itself irrelevant because that is opinion not fact. The fact that you jumped to conclusions and immediatly started the insults basically saying I'm some kid whose got his head in the dirt and that I in some way have to earn the right to have my voice heard speaks volumes about your charac
@Jed844 whether a band utilizes these devices is easily observed: they either use a llittle of them or alot. and Stones use alot of them, that is not an opinion but a fact, Fill in my line of reasoning from there
TBK have chincey songs, boring riffs, the structure dowes not evlove, the arranement is lackkuster..so what are you left with...distorted guitars and a distoted voice on a loop..Nothingworse that bands playing rock like pussies, the heavy distortion and fuzz do not hide mediocraty
@tele757 "good music" it doesn't matter where or how the creative process happens. Saying otherwise is a complete lack of understanding musicianship. There is no correct way to create music, thus allowing more personality and creativity to shine through. I think the black keys are a great band, different but familiar, unique, raw, and soulful. Just what we need right now. If you don't think so why are you watching.
@Jed844 but this is not good music. So I dont think your opinion is relevant. What you think, has no bearin gon whether this is good or not. I xcan point you to MC%, War, Canned Heat, 10 years after...if course you dont know who this is. SO why dont you decide if this 5th generation garage rock played sort of poorly, and arranged poorly (but with good tone) is as good as what We have been enjoying for years. Decide on your won.Go to Albert Hall 1970 "were gonna Groove"byZepp start there
@Jed844 i am not watching, I am trying to give you alla dose of reality tro turn you on tot he REAl thing. Try listening to John Spencer Blues Explosion which is many moons better than this or the Dirtbombs. You are eating Mcdonalsds when prime steaks are avaliable... TBK are not a great band, you just a dumb kid who has not been exposed to better. Sometimes they are mediocre, other times like Lonely Boy they are terrible. Zep was never terrible,they were g-dlike
@Jed844 Those bands that evolbve and make better records , have the starting blocks of huge talent at bay. Anyone can come up with a good song or riff once in a while But to sustain that and be consistent it takes raw talent,and ears,and arranging skills. Bands today have neither.,Thisis why music has sucked for 25cyears.
When the individual talent is there-everything falls into place.Anyone can create music,some createmore lasting better reinventedstructures. Its all been done before
@tele757 I completely disagree with everything said there, your opinion is yours, but I gotta say they have "it" and there is nothing wrong with jamming in the basement making songs. By your logic you could then say "exile on main street" is not a good album simply because the creative process happened in Keith Richards basement jammin on material. When in reality it's up there as one of the greatest albums of all time. I'm not comparing the stones to black keys. Just using the standards for "g
@Jed844 they dont have it. Exile weas recoded in Necote because of tax problems in England at that time. It was not what they wanted to be a basment, it was what they had to work around. My point was that the Stones had undeniable talent and took in staright influences-Muddy Waters. DAn and Art is not a real musican is is a meddicocre player, that does not have the touch of all the greats and its pretty darn obvious as a manifestation of everythin gthey do.,
"most of their songs come form playing gin the basement" Yea these guys are not real deal musicians but basement tapers. They dont have the touch like the classic rock guys. I see kids at guitar center who are better. But the kids dont know any better, You would have had rto lived thu all those cool decades to know man

at 4:09 reveals that they are amateurs without the "it" factor. The real reason it did not work out playing witgh other musicans is that they really dont have it. Listen To Pete Townshend when he improvs in quiet parts, He is awesome every note is great. Dan on the other hand is lost, it was worse ha Syd Baarret who at least is interesting

Abbey Road has killed this track!!!!! totally drowned in reverb and muddy weak drums, I'm suprised they didn't stick loads of chorus on too. seems like that room hasn't been treated since the 70s. At least the album producer/mixer got it right.
@tele757 oh ur totally right I can't believe no one else can see it the right way... your way. After all there is no way you could be wrong. The world is wrong. You should probably run for president with ur profound insight that no one else gets. Hell u could even have Sarah Palin as ur VP.
these guys with this beat song does not warrant Abbey Road. My opinion having seen all the rock hey day bands
-listen music is a personal thing, and people have different tastes. But the Keys have songs where every measure sounds the same. there are way better garage rave bump bands over the years who blow these guys away. What does it matter that it is contemporary. It fails to hold up the musical virtues of rocks hey day-hence it is sub par and a waste of time .
in every town guitarits and bassist who are monsters on their instrumnent and also write and create cannot find one another. The record industry no longer develops bands or supergroups. The supergroups wirth Jack White are npot real super-groups like blind Faith, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
The Traveling Wilburys, Stills Kooper supersession,flying burto Brothers.
Instead the record industry signs acts they can market and make money with over better bands. You dont know this do u
I don't care what anyone says, this is one of those legendary iconic performances like The Who at Monterey Pop, Hendrix at Woodstock, Black Sabbath at Paris, Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden, the list goes on and on...
dude the freaking sound that resonates from his guitar is so heavy. I really hope these guys can bring us back to the good rock n roll and blues from the yesterday
the white stripes are good but they only real similarities i see is the rock DUO thing..... the lead singers voices are very different, the only song the white stripes has thats as bluesy as the keys are is death letter, and the black keys have more eleborate drum beats.. not that one is better, just more different than everyone here seems to think
@SRoessner31 Thank you, I am getting tired of these two bands being compared. I personally don't like the white stripes but they really are nothing alike...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@NegerSkrapaN there are no dynamics the song sucks, poor;lyarranged, hendric riff rip off, and dan sucks on guitar--no coaxing ,massaging notes-does not have in fingers
@frufrukurtjim well i dont see it. Stripes to me are more punk/goth and i definitely dont hear any blues in them. Dan's voice alone is blues, not to mention his riffs. Just my opinions, Stripes have a couple decent jams but i can listen to these guys all day. They dont sound/look anything alike. Ive said my peace.
@WlSEGUY Jack White is like the epitome of blues. Listen to anything he talks about. He once said in Rolling Stone that all his music is blues based, and most of rock for that matter (a fact that stands true). Anyone that doesn't think the Stripes are blues is fucking insane.
@khazad02 well i never said anything about them not being "blues-based"...they just dont sound bluesy to me. Its probably Jack's vocals that turned me off. He sounds punk and looks goth, awful combination.
@WlSEGUY I wouldn't say "don't deserve to be compared to." I am a diehard Stripes fan and without them, the Black Keys wouldn't be as known because the Stripes led the garage revival scene, opening up to the masses. The Keys contributed highly but the Stripes really led it. It's still going today, but you know what I mean. I love them both.
Pure, raw energy. If these guys were to play continuously in a power plant, we could ditch the nuclear reactor. Also, the plants' technical staff could spend their time playing airguitar and jumping around :)
jack white has nothing on dan technically and in terms of soul- he covers up for the lack of skill with pretentious pedal effects...dan has soul, solid skills and a great taste- he doesnt abuse the effects, uses them for a purpose+ jack white cannot, i repeat cannot sing- he so horribly off pitch live, croaks all the time and generally has no range whatsoever, whereas dan is just a natural...the only reason keys arent as well known, is cuz they are modest dudes who despise pretentious music!
@ssblv look dude, youre an idiot if you say jack white has no soul. i love both bands and i been listening to both for years, and ive noticed that they both have so much soul that they get from bluesy roots. the reason jack white started using alot of effects is because no one else is doing that. hes changed from his early stuff . dan is alot more old school than jack because theres a point when you want to change the way you play. ive changed my sound countless times just becuase i get bored.
The black Keys have a better drummer, but Jack White is a better guitar player and theyre better known, plus theyre reppin' detroit, where I'm from, but theyre both very good.

@tele757 I didn't say the stones are better u said I'm not comparing them. Comparing bands is like comparing songs, solos, or guitarist. It's all opinion. The fact that you think my opinion is irrelevant is in itself irrelevant because that is opinion not fact. The fact that you jumped to conclusions and immediatly started the insults basically saying I'm some kid whose got his head in the dirt and that I in some way have to earn the right to have my voice heard speaks volumes about your charac

@Jed844 whether a band utilizes these devices is easily observed: they either use a llittle of them or alot. and Stones use alot of them, that is not an opinion but a fact, Fill in my line of reasoning from there
TBK have chincey songs, boring riffs, the structure dowes not evlove, the arranement is lackkuster..so what are you left with...distorted guitars and a distoted voice on a loop..Nothingworse that bands playing rock like pussies, the heavy distortion and fuzz do not hide mediocraty

@tele757 "good music" it doesn't matter where or how the creative process happens. Saying otherwise is a complete lack of understanding musicianship. There is no correct way to create music, thus allowing more personality and creativity to shine through. I think the black keys are a great band, different but familiar, unique, raw, and soulful. Just what we need right now. If you don't think so why are you watching.

@Jed844 but this is not good music. So I dont think your opinion is relevant. What you think, has no bearin gon whether this is good or not. I xcan point you to MC%, War, Canned Heat, 10 years after...if course you dont know who this is. SO why dont you decide if this 5th generation garage rock played sort of poorly, and arranged poorly (but with good tone) is as good as what We have been enjoying for years. Decide on your won.Go to Albert Hall 1970 "were gonna Groove"byZepp start there

@Jed844 i am not watching, I am trying to give you alla dose of reality tro turn you on tot he REAl thing. Try listening to John Spencer Blues Explosion which is many moons better than this or the Dirtbombs. You are eating Mcdonalsds when prime steaks are avaliable... TBK are not a great band, you just a dumb kid who has not been exposed to better. Sometimes they are mediocre, other times like Lonely Boy they are terrible. Zep was never terrible,they were g-dlike

@Jed844 Those bands that evolbve and make better records , have the starting blocks of huge talent at bay. Anyone can come up with a good song or riff once in a while But to sustain that and be consistent it takes raw talent,and ears,and arranging skills. Bands today have neither.,Thisis why music has sucked for 25cyears.
When the individual talent is there-everything falls into place.Anyone can create music,some createmore lasting better reinventedstructures. Its all been done before

@tele757 I completely disagree with everything said there, your opinion is yours, but I gotta say they have "it" and there is nothing wrong with jamming in the basement making songs. By your logic you could then say "exile on main street" is not a good album simply because the creative process happened in Keith Richards basement jammin on material. When in reality it's up there as one of the greatest albums of all time. I'm not comparing the stones to black keys. Just using the standards for "g

@Jed844 they dont have it. Exile weas recoded in Necote because of tax problems in England at that time. It was not what they wanted to be a basment, it was what they had to work around. My point was that the Stones had undeniable talent and took in staright influences-Muddy Waters. DAn and Art is not a real musican is is a meddicocre player, that does not have the touch of all the greats and its pretty darn obvious as a manifestation of everythin gthey do.,

at 4:09 reveals that they are amateurs without the "it" factor. The real reason it did not work out playing witgh other musicans is that they really dont have it. Listen To Pete Townshend when he improvs in quiet parts, He is awesome every note is great. Dan on the other hand is lost, it was worse ha Syd Baarret who at least is interesting

these guys with this beat song does not warrant Abbey Road. My opinion having seen all the rock hey day bands
-listen music is a personal thing, and people have different tastes. But the Keys have songs where every measure sounds the same. there are way better garage rave bump bands over the years who blow these guys away. What does it matter that it is contemporary. It fails to hold up the musical virtues of rocks hey day-hence it is sub par and a waste of time .

@WlSEGUY I wouldn't say "don't deserve to be compared to."

jack white has nothing on dan technically and in terms of soul- he covers up for the lack of skill with pretentious pedal effects...dan has soul, solid skills and a great taste- he doesnt abuse the effects, uses them for a purpose+ jack white cannot, i repeat cannot sing- he so horribly off pitch live, croaks all the time and generally has no range whatsoever, whereas dan is just a natural...the only reason keys arent as well known, is cuz they are modest dudes who despise pretentious music!

@ssblv look dude, youre an idiot if you say jack white has no soul. i love both bands and i been listening to both for years, and ive noticed that they both have so much soul that they get from bluesy roots. the reason jack white started using alot of effects is because no one else is doing that. hes changed from his early stuff . dan is alot more old school than jack because theres a point when you want to change the way you play. ive changed my sound countless times just becuase i get bored.
