It was 2008. I was 17 working at American Eagle. Nobody, including me knew who the black keys were... This song came on in the store and EVERYBODY was moved!!! Today, Everyone knows and appreciates their music. Eff that "they're mainstream so they suck" mentality. Im estatic that everyone has a chance to listen to beautiful music :) BLACK KEYSSSSSSS!!!!!! :)
Best alarm clock in the world. It is simply impossible to hit snooze when this comes on, as stopping the song would be foolish. I've started waking up at 4am every morning just so I can hear this song as soon as possible.
Ultimately,the best version of this song! If I were a record producer,or a disc jockey...I would send this version of this song all the way up to # 1 on the charts!
I was in 4th grade when I got this song off the School Of Rock soundtrack. When they started getting popular I was kinda pissed. But they haven't started to suck yet, so it's alright. :)
Man, I remember hearing this song about 10 years ago in School of Rock. I thought to myself "I don't know who these guys are, but they're damn good." I was right,
They took all the 60's and 70's best licks and created themselves, Cream, Deep Purple, BTO and the rest, nothing original just remixed but Dan's voice made it original.
@Left4TeamFortress2 Yeah, ChickFriedHamMan has on odd fascination with the topic, we don't really talk about it except to explain it to newcomers. He's kind of like the kid you and your friends hang out with but have forgotten why and how it all happened in the first place.

I've discovered this band from sons of anarchy and now i'm going to listen all their old albums and they are amazing!! Remind me to the good old days
good show
the black keys and the dead weather are the best bands that ever existed in the entirety of the world as i know it. :)
This song reminds me on driving through Akron years ago and thinking. Damn this band fucking Rocks. And the rest is history
RAW & TRUE... in this crisis we live im sure the world will wake up someday and the rock n roll will come back to save our missguided souls
I've just listened to this song 4 consecutive times in a row. I'm gonna listen 5 more times, now. Then buy every album by the Black Keys.
Ultimately,the best version of this song! If I were a record producer,or a disc jockey...I would send this version
of this song all the way up to # 1 on the charts!
this was my favorite song since forever but i could never find it. i just found it.. the b keys are awesome
man while listening to this song for the first time i think it sounds a bit like hendrix wich is GREAT!
One of the greatest rock song ever...
I am about to explode. I love the Black Keys
FANTASTIC!!!!!!

Best stuff from the black keys. Sounds so original and raw.
right im eighteen, first album i heard from them was thickfreakness. thats some raw pure blues.
@cbdoobie thats the funniest shit i've read all day. lol - actually laughed out loud.
Damn right ! and that's why its my first and only favorite BAND !!
Thx for the video
best song of the Black Keys
@thestainisgone485 This is a remastered version. The album version is the one he's talking about. It's faster and sounds more raw and distorted.
one of their best songs I think
it's funny cause i can actually see him listening to this
GREAT!!!!
They have a sound like I've never heard from any other band. Ever. They belong in the genre I call the "Black Keys Genre".
Oh hai there School of Rock soundtrack
ALRIGHTTTT!!!
They're in a restaurant / coffee shop and it's playing in the background. It's the beginning of the scene so it's a bit louder at first.
I would like this 47 times if possible. I'll try anyway...
Hendrix is alive.
This is what amazing sounds like
AWESOME!!!
I was in 4th grade when I got this song off the School Of Rock soundtrack. When they started getting popular I was kinda pissed. But they haven't started to suck yet, so it's alright. :)
This is better than the original
I love this version

Chris Joslin !
Raw
@N1NTHW9RD THIS IS A GOOD C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER :D
Me to
@open0Fire Same here, i got a promo CD when i bought a pair of skate shoes in high school
Fuck I love this band.
@abchandler4 yeah that's what I was thinking, but it's got that cool 60s style to it though! LOL! Rock on man! :)
@ab0ut99parots
same for me. having the soundtrack for the movie is why i now love this band so much (:
They took all the 60's and 70's best licks and created themselves, Cream, Deep Purple, BTO and the rest, nothing original just remixed but Dan's voice made it original.
he might as well be;)
Pretty sure people knew who the black keys were before 2008. Considering I was jamming this late 03 early 04.
Rare version to the album version
@Left4TeamFortress2 Yeah, ChickFriedHamMan has on odd fascination with the topic, we don't really talk about it except to explain it to newcomers. He's kind of like the kid you and your friends hang out with but have forgotten why and how it all happened in the first place.
Jesus has a black keys coverband
@DoubleYellowLinesUzu you'll probably like more of the black keys
@zinazubird what a swell guy
@NLskaterz Me too!
@Olimae its from thickfreakness
the school of rock brought me here
am i the only one who thinks dan auerbach looks like george harison from the beatles?
I think blues and rock started waaaaaaaaaay before then ;)
@GUITARGEEK873 Yes.
@thestainisgone485 No that's not a joke. I have a recording of the song, but the tempo is a little quicker.
wow! im pissed too! every time they gain another fan, Thickfreakness gets a little worse! I hate it!
@megasam10000 fuck yeah dude, Im a jimi fan and so are friends of mine who love the keys
@perlewitzaudio ehh its from 2003.. not all that long ago though
just a little poll for purposes i know, but are black keys fans usually also jimi hendrix fans?
@robottyson just a bit. actually gonna need a bit more if i plan on making the pb.j samich
@megasam10000 yep
Not the album version? WHERE DO I GET THESE RARITIES?!
@g2g144 ahh i see, i thought he was referring to the band covering the song or something
got a bit of a hendrix tone going on with the guitar on this
Jimmi is that you??
which album is this song from?
where can i buy or download this version?
@TheMolestedgecko ahh i see, i thought you meant like this was a cover
IM BACK FOR MORE!!!
Please. By that argument Hendrix was just updating Buddy Guy, et al. He certainly didn't invent fuzzed out Blues.
@TheMolestedgecko ..was that a bad joke cause this is the original
@mjuarez013 it's people like you that people complain about. lol. "one person had a white key"
cheers
An example of*
@ChickenFriedHamMan ouch
Dan Auerbach is jesus
i heard this song about 10 years ago on subterranian. what's up with the video though? nowhere to be found. this song is the shit
@mjuarez013 wtf, why you did it then?
Quarterpastcake is right, and you know it! goddamn...
Just look at his beard
it's not loud enough
@ChickenFriedHamMan Well that doesn't sound fun at all.
this isnt the same version i have on my cds, mines better.
