Good, now apologize for Black Keys records

LewDux: Good, now apologize for Black Keys records

Their music sure appears in a lot of commercials for such a serious, indie band.

Came to say this. Where does he get off saying something like that? I'm sure, for the right price he'd let ol Rush use their music on his show.

To be fair, so would I. I'd sell out so fast...that's not my issue with them. It's that they suck and think they are important. They are Kings of Leon 2.0.

Sure are a lot of Nickleback fans around here.

There's Nickleback fans everywhere. Like flies, they are.

I'm so sick and tired of people who rave about the Black Keys. Their songs are either; A) boring and simple or B) a rip-off of a much better song.

Black Keys fan: "Dude, have you heard the new Black Keys?"
Me: "Yeah, I heard it 10 years ago when it was performed by T-Rex."

I like the Black Keys. They aren't the best, but they write some good solid electric white boy blues.

And I don't care if bands sell their songs to be used. I would too.

Can't stand Nickelback.

I am ashamed to say I have had more than one argument with Mrs. Highway about this subject.

LEAVE NICKELBACK ALONE!

I like neither band.

I like how people get on the Black Keys for "selling out." Making money is how you get to stay being a musician you dolts. Letting people use your music in commercials doesn't have jack to do with your musical abilities.

Can you believe the audacity of these new bands?!? Playing notes in keys on instruments over rhythmic beats.

Or even worse, using their talents, to make money!!

They were a nice counterweight to the White Stripes when both were coming out as a newfangled, turn-back-the-clock rock & blues minimalist sound...thing. The Keys were a little more straight-ahead, tighter-sounding, and of course had competent percussion.

I was slowly tuning them out to being with, and now with their songs used on 1/3 of adverts I see, my "meh" is turning to annoyance.

While I agree with him that Nickelback sucks, I'm pretty sure the Foo Fighters are the biggest rock band in the world right now, and they don't suck at all.

I'd like to thank everyone for reminding me why the Music tab sucked so much, and deserved the horrible, lonely death it got.

Listen to "Electric Warrior". You'll throw your Black Keys albums in the clearance bin at an interstate gas station.

I like the black keys, and the concert in Portland Maine I went to was awesome. And the Artic Monkeys are fun to listen to as well (for the thread from earlier).

/its not selling out to make money off of your career

SkylineRecords: Listen to "Electric Warrior". You'll throw your Black Keys albums in the clearance bin at an interstate gas station.

/now get off my lawn.

No he won't. Electric Warrior was/is great in its own right, but it won't make someone be all "I see music in a whole new way!" If anything, he'll just understand where some of the blues style rock musicians get their influence.

Selling out is writing songs for Buick, not letting Buick use your songs.

Eh, I just take comfort in the fact that The Black Keys are going to fade out faster than a set of Christmas tree lights.

Kyro: Pfft.. so mainstream.

I only listen to vinyl recordings of geratric homeless men belching into jugs.

Hasil Adkins?

They've been around over a decade, and if anything are getting more popular.

listening to it now. bang a gong...oh god I hate that song. I don't really hear it but whatever.

but again, most albums we like are because of the who and where and when, not the how and why. maybe if I grew up listening to t-rex I would hate the Black Keys as well, but I didn't so I don't. sooo getting off your lawn.

Their songs are used in dozens of commercials, they're whores. It doesn't mean they don't have 'ability'.

Some bands make money by selling albums and touring, I think they call it 'being a professional musician'.

Making money off of playing music makes you a professional musician. That's kind of what it means. If letting commercials use their music brings more people to listen to them, good for them.

You do have an excellent point, but some of those bands go away as you age, and some stick with you for life. I was 17 years old, hanging out with the older "cool kids", and was also really into Sublime. I thank God that "40 Oz. to Freedom full back tattoo" never panned out.

about 4 songs in now, and without really knowing much about them (other than the US radio hit later in the album) I would say they remind me a lot of David Bowie.

I just think they're a mediocre band whoring it out for commercials. If that makes me a hater, so be it.

Was there another band called Trex that didn't have Marc Nolan because:

a. The band has been gone since 1977 and all the members have been dead since 2003 so I doubt they did much in the last 10 years
b. Trex sounds 100% nothing like the Black Keys - glam rock vs garage rock and all that.

NutznGum: I just think they're a mediocre band

Then that's your opinion, which doesn't make you a hater. What makes you a hater is claiming they're whoring themselves out by selling their music, which is kind of the point, whether through mp3's, tickets, merchandise, etc. Unless you like your musicians poor and struggling and only producing for two years tops before reality sets in and they have to quit for daytime jobs.

rcords? plural? I'm not sure recording the same song over and over and over again counts as making different records

haha yeah, I hear ya. I still like Sublime too though...which ain't cool on here. but I am okay with that. If I got a band tattoo when I was 17 it would have either been Led Zeppelin or Beastie Boys. I still like both, but no where near like I used to.
