The Black Keys - Lonely Boy (Zane Lowe Special)

[@samjohnson8588]

The Black Keys as a band look like a geography teacher and the school janitor broke into the music room after hours and started to jam.

[@VIDS2013]

But they're the COOLEST janitor and geography teacher!

[@emanuelmifsud6754]

Yes you are right, they look like the guys I worked with at my old school, the drummer was a History teacher and the guitarist was the cleaner. Thank you for reminding me of my work colleagues. Mind you I wish they came and played for the kids. They would love them.

[@Lua.naVieira]

omg yes hahahahaha

[@burime13]

brilliant.

[@Officialshayne]

😂😂😂

[@luisjig]

That's the true style of Black Keys. They don't care about the sound details, they just play this neglected rock that it is awsome for millions in the world.

[@michaelbrindley3487]

Hi I've done a cover of of this on acoustic would love you to check it out 👍

[@Pratt-zp5mr]

To those criticizing this drummer: I'm a drummer auditioning for a working cover band in a few days and this is one of the songs required. This drummer is making a living playing drums(his own material to boot ) and I'm covering his parts but work a day job.I say good for him he's doing what he wants. So he's not the best technically. At least he's working and playing HIS music. Every situation is different and he works in this one. Just my two cents and Happy St. Pats!

[@barnsnoble7066]

Pratt 2007 well said my dude. Did you happen to get the part in the cover band?

[@Telmo1972]

Hard to read a sensible comment such as this one...

[@tabrizahaarn1775]

Pratt dude too true - hope you got role - too many armchair internet warriors...

[@chinmaybhanagay1997]

Well said man

[@k3v1n47]

@Cameron Regester I think he's good. Nobody cares about excellence in musicianship. Well at least, I don't. Neither do they apparently. Its more feel. Like the old blues guys and rock and roll guys they're influenced by.

[@IarlasWorld]

My little brother was very sick in hospital recently, he is also a fan, he loves this album. He was lying in the hospital bed, really sore and pissed off. But when we played this song, he smiled and shouted "Hey!", as in 2.25 mins. Thanks to the Black Keys to helping my baby brother through a bad time!

[@Lucasmatheus211]

the drummer is way different from the stereotype and he's fucking cool. great band!

[@zeitheister]

Stereotype*

[@Lucasmatheus211]

+Maya Folsom sorry. youre right

[@zeitheister]

lol yerp Lucas Matheus de Souza​

[@GewoonRood]

Drummers always are/have oneof the following: -bald -glasses -a beard -long hair

[@GewoonRood]

***** or a hat...

[@Y3sterdaysCub]

Mad respect to the fella on Keys doing backing vocals and jammin with a tambourine in his right hand.

[@lelliott639]

being a drummer myself this guy does not suck the groove matches the song and it does not need to be flashy or hard tbh keeping the tempo through out the song at that speed is very difficult and tiring this guy does not suck there all great musicians, great band.

[@12wingwfetech]

I am 74 years old and I’ve always liked that band since the first time I heard them there’s not much music around these days I can match them for sure

[@abrahampeper14]

There's no doubt for me anymore... The simpler, the better. The Black Keys have rescued, in my humble opinion, ROCK!

[@redskullwarthog9385]

Well said

[@larkdodge1403]

Long time great Band. Love to all the BK crew. Australia.

[@ricardogigante881]

Pat is so cool.. love his drumming

[@dannydigregorio6605]

one hit wonder are you kidding? the black keys have been around for a long time and certainly aren't going anywhere.. they're just finally getting the recognition they deserve!

[@Chrisbloor32]

Drums are badass 👌🏻

[@bowl1or2]

the drummer reminds me of a young bernie sanders

[@aaronpage5374]

[@jlc2100]

Piano guy doesn't get enough credit, that's hard as hell to do.

[@jorgeleon6523]

Jajajaja el mamon

[@samanthab1923]

jlc2100 How come the Band is made up of just the 2 of them when they always play with other musicians?

[@Jalegre]

@@samanthab1923 They may work better creatively as a duo and will track all instruments themselves, but when it comes to reproducing the sound live, it is necessary to use session musicians so they avoid playing to a track.

[@samanthab1923]

Jalegre Thank you. They're the only new band I've liked in years.

[@MikaelLewisify]

@@samanthab1923 for the first 10 years it literally was just the two of them.

[@gordannovak1327]

To play a few milliseconds off the tempo is intentional, and is a freaking hard to play that way both for the rest of the bend and drummer.... but sounds pure and far away from "innocent".... actually sounds great! Check the studio version (audio) and it is there as well.... Love these guy..., so natural, pure...

[@westerling8436]

shitty drummer

[@mrfunball5204]

If playing off tempo is a skill then I am buddy rich, keith moon and Neil peart rolled into one cuz I can't keep time for shit 😲

[@thejohnson9204]

@@westerling8436 Shitty drummer that won't be living a life of poverty like you...... Fucking oooops......

[@xandypunk7350]

This is a really easy song on the drums, dont know why was he so off. Not just the tempo per se

[@eddygortex]

Yes I pick up on that, a few bands do that ,playing fractionally behind the tempo ,sounds great and live not like a time click that’s why it so hard to copy and get right

[@jamesbevan902]

Class band that helps the millions with their words

[@johnc60123]

I think their drummer has a style and swagger all his own. My favorite performance in this video.

[@csabamodos5346]

Still kicks and resonates.

[@humunguzfunguz]

The black keys are slick as slime, super sound clean and spotless, original that's why there on top

[@sfjasko1]

My son says I look like the drummer when I wear my reading glasses........I am 47, he is 18 and we both like the Black Keys........GREAT BAND!!!!

[@dag681]

This song rocks because it strikes an emotional note, regardless of technique. Music isn't a fucking mechanical creation, it can live and take wings without technical perfection, in fact, in spite of it.

[@yannibcommando]

What a cool drummer !!!!

[@wtjonny]

Bro i think this sounds good as hell i dont know what all the hate is about

[@thedrummerdude777]

Because the drummer needs a goddamn metronome, it's painfully obvious.

[@GraspPrint]

Lol really the white stripes were doing this way before them and they did with only 2 people hahaha

[@Hensnammskyjx]

@@GraspPrint the black keys are only two people, you tit. love the white stripes too, but you are being unfair.

[@christianjocson5509]

The drummer sounds really sloppy especially on the verse section. Should probably practice more.

[@07foxmulder]

Michael Eisenreich TBK have always been, and always will be, the poor man’s White Stripes.

[@sdvol9077]

Saw them in Vegas at The Chelsea - great show. Their sound is pure and kinda retro .

[@communityclay5244]

Pat really plays behind the tempo, not a terrible thing, Bonham was famous for playing a few milliseconds behind as well. Pat's grooves are unique and simple, but fat. One of the many reasons I love this band.

[@guillermoolivares2035]

He`s influenced by Bonham. Pat has said loves bonham's style.

[@felipeabreu2769]

so you are saying that Bonham played behind the tempo like this guy? hahaha

[@andrewcruz7595]

Bonham had right time dumbass

[@thedrummerdude777]

Even Bonham used a goddamn metronome and he was drunk af all the time. Pat Carny has no excuse to suck in the 21st century, he could at least use in-ear monitors to use a click track to play along to

[@shawlockyer6629]

It sounds awesome though right?

[@juanantoniomalonda733]

Starting me up with this song again! Black keys are great!

One of the best band ever!

[@twinpole40]

i'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks this way

[@bluedot6933]

White stripes?

[@muhammadazfar8652]

ARE YOU RUSHING OR ARE YOU DRAGGING

[@KaiserBecks]

I think Fletcher would get a heart attack working with this guy.

[@lookmanostrings]

Even in the record the drummer is all over the place. He's not a 'great' technical drummer, it's more of a feel thing. Raw. Think of Meg White. Awful drummer but it works for Jack.

[@thejohnson9204]

Are you criticising or observing???

[@swaffstudios]

HE'S LIVING

[@Robbie127]

As a fellow drummer it's painful to see him struggling with the tempo like that.

[@aleco20]

Damn hipster at the guitar knows how to extract that fuzzy bluesy tone for leadish parts and that southern clean twang on the verse. Kudos.

[@ameerulaqmalmalek9470]

This song controls my body for almost 3 month.. everytime i heard this song i dance no matter where, on the bike, in the car, shopping mall, fucking toilet, car park, public place.. its fucking embarrassing moment.. what have you done to me the black keys??

[@omgufoundme8243]

I’m not the ideal person to criticize the drummer, i don’t even know how to play the drums (I’m a guitar type of person) and I thought he did fine before reading the comments lol but even now that I know he’s not good I keep enjoying it, and that’s what you should do too

[@antressa]

Well, tempo is tempo, doesn't matter the instrument you're playing, so, you can have a opinion about it. Even people that have no clue about the basics of music can tell the time it's not quite right. And the drums here are off. It's not the end of the world, but it definitely bothers the ears. I understand what you mean, though. There are people really pissed about it at the comments, lol.

[@andrewcruz7595]

Damn nostalgia , I remember shitting on Pats drumming here years ago . Now I realized how unique his staggered drum beat is , it's what makes the Black Keys sound like BLACK KEYS

[@LamontMr]

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Why is everyone hating on the drummer I thought he did fine

[@RockandRoll2525]

A holier than thou mentality by certain people that either don't like the band or just think they're better (and are jealous).

[@WeTubule]

Notice how some people say he's rushing and others say he's dragging. He does both. Not inherently bad to play around with tempo, but it seems he does it randomly, not as creative expression. Many people won't even hear his variation in tempo, for other listeners it's painfully obvious.(ie. distracting from the feel of the song), others can hear it but don't mind.

[@MrConan72]

he is an attitude drummer.

[@liamtg912]

i don't think he's naturally talented at all when it comes to this profession.

[@thedrummerdude777]

You people wouldn't know the difference between a bad drummer and a great drummer if it came up and slapped you in the faces. You all got into this band when Brothers came out and pretend to know "good music". Kill your radios and listen to bands who need the real exposure.
