The Black Keys Dissect ‘Howlin’ for You’ And Show How It Influenced ‘Dropout Boogie’ | The Breakdown

[@jackkatcheech9140]

As he gets older, Dan looks more and more like a scuzzy pawn shop owner, and I love it.

[@supermenka0]

lmaoooo

[@dewdew34]

Looks like he stays up all night...

[@Joemommas]

I need to see them breakdown more tracks that would be awesome

[@greenmanalishi6963]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m52uYZ1-g6aWiJY it’s not exactly a breakdown but more a technical breakdown of that works

[@kellerjo98]

Love how subtly funny these guys are in interviews. They just seem like a cool couple of dudes to hang out with.

[@torontotonto6189]

they should do project with El-p cos they are so similar personality wise

[@kellerjo98]

@@torontotonto6189 El-p could be an honorary key, 100%. An El-p remix of any black key song would probably melt phones, so we’ll have to just imagine it.

[@alicewilson1913]

Remember listening to The Black Keys 15-20 years ago in high school and they still rock just as hard

[@racetron]

One of the band that stay true to their music. They didn’t sell their soul

[@igorgilza]

exactly

[@27shocking]

More than a few moments on dropout boogie sound like very early black keys stuff, beautiful album 👌

[@jannikclaen2307]

Such a humble and clean band. Idols.

[@earljohnrina5150]

I love it everytime Patrick cracks Dan up

[@asispector]

the best album. since 2010....i wish the keys did an album like brothers these days....just Dan and Pat, no fancy recording and mixing, just pure raw black keys blues....this album is a life changer if u didn't listen to it yet

[@Needawholepailofwater]

I’ve seen them a few times now and I’m sad to say I won’t see them again unless it’s just Dan and Patrick. I wanted a delta Kream tour but instead we get six randoms on stage, playing the hits and going home. Last show I saw was the “Let’s Rock” tour and Dan said maybe 5 words to the crowd, then played for barely over an hour

[@michaelmaier6820]

Their most recent album is exactly what you're talking about. They did a lot of the songs in one or two takes

[@hatememoor5738]

😳😳

[@buringairline]

If you want raw Dan and Pat, the first three albums make everything else they've done look like a Broadway production. "The Big Come Up" is one of the purest recordings you'll hear by a modern artist. Nothing but mics and a basement.

[@yohualtica]

​@@buringairline right? I grew up listening to them since the first album, my brother had almost all of their stuff including Chulahoma (which is just delicious), qnd when Brothers came out, it felt very fancy hahaha

[@djvader]

I love these guys so much

[@dominiccorona3219]

Never seen Dan more talkative in an interview, Dropout Boogie has him feeling good

[@blassezfaire9940]

I love how easy eye picks some of the best indie artists playing right now...they even signed shannon and the clams...those guys know good music

[@thisarfingai]

Brothers is a masterpiece.

[@addison_deez]

i saw them live a few weeks ago and holy shit they sounded so good. would def see them again

[@shellyreed2373]

Love every single thing about them!🙌

[@steveharvey4036]

one of the best... because they are honest with life and music. thanks guys

[@matiasishere1487]

Thank you guys for this. Cool to get a look of what they do. Brothers was so good. It’s in my very limited vinyl collection. Dropout boogie may be soon.

[@BeckyOTC]

The first time I heard this song i' ve followed them ever since!

[@lisabrown3090]

I have watched this interview song breakdown several times making me smile and laughing

[@topherjamesmusic]

Being from and always livin here man,,,these are OHIO DUDES. It’s like watching my buddies talk. Black Keys 4 Lyfe!

[@wideyxyz2271]

Brilliant and the honesty is 100%. No ego shit just pure music and it flows.

[@tristram6395]

One of their best interviews. Thanks

[@glennbo76]

[@akilcreft4069]

It would be so cool to hang with these guys for a day, and really understand there process, love them!!

[@damamae950]

This band gives me hope for the future of blues based rock

[@archievova8213]

my love for The Black Keys hasnt been shaken for the past 15 years at all, love them so much and they just dont know what making a bad song is

[@Ireland831]

My band played several Black Keys tunes. I have to say...we KILLED them. We played them close to the originals, but added a twist to many of them. I loved playing Howlin for you...setting my trem with an intense chop....so fun. I love the Black Keys...thanks for all your music boys....the best.

[@thecalicowolf]

Dan is the reason I play a Supro 🤙🏼

[@slorr55]

I remember hearing it in Limitless, such an awesome song, and movie

[@GoodMrDawes]

What a Duo

[@djtrets]

[@VASHHERNANDEZ]

When I bought brothers it was amazing beginning to end

[@paulbadoo9326]

No matter what video I see of the Keys now, I think of their "masterclass" and crack up.

[@emudeko]

I took the masterclass but I'm not naturally gifted so there was not so much they could do for me

[@milodineve]

i love them so much

[@benjaminrichard7741]

I love hearing their inspiration on Tighten up! Yes!!! 🎼 💗

[@turtleyaya]

Love this song 🎵 🎶 🎧

[@JohnGauge790]

Radar has those ceramic converters that sound so damn good.

[@norsketilbakeblikk3717]

Dropout boogie is not my favorite but these guys are still the coolest around

[@buhlir]

This was fuc***** Fantastic! omg I would listen to an entire album song by song of them dissecting and discussing. Can we please get a studio tour! does anybody know what those freaking consoles are? And what was recorded and/or mixed through them? they are incredible sounding and looking!

[@NickyQ]

Vitamin C reference was dope.

[@LostaraYil666]

Awesome! great stuff

[@iamjarrettdean9358]

Would REALLY love to know how they did the vocals on this song. Their slight distortion effect in the vocal chain is always very tastefully done yet still clear. I've read articles that 'claim" they know their trick, but I was hoping they discussed it here 🤷🤔

[@mickey4125]

I think they almost did, just not very clearly. When they talking about "doing overdubs just with a big speaker, a microphone in front and building the track from there" It sounds like they just jammed it out, then played it back to themselves and jammed over that, possibly multiple times. Each recording catches some of the old one too so it built up into the vocal distortion you mention. I think this is one of the reasons the album feels so HEAVY, y'know?

[@raphaeleckert7946]

They need a podcast :D this is comedy gold

[@micktheman6]

Howlin for you sounds like nothing else I’ve ever heard. That’s why it’s so popular.

[@jakethehuman7]

Gary glitter called he wants his song back

[@opppopp2322]

it really is rock n roll part 2 without the child stuff joker stare dance song...same exact beat ...vitamin c my ass that has fifty times the snare anybody would know that

[@ferminola]

Amazing album!

[@thenovared]

I'm going to be on top of the MUSIC INDUSTRY, I promise 😈👀🌎🚀

[@spah_tf2]

anyone know what pick up dan is talking about for the fuzz? i cant find what it is anywhere

[@EvLoutonian]

Legends

[@SeeNickView]

Pat and Dan are awesome. With Dropout Boogie out, I've thought to open up the can of worms and listen back to the beginning, their early music for the first time. Holy hell this band is gold (to listen to, not on the ceiling, although maybe they think that from smoking so much weed!)

[@opppopp2322]

psychotic girl, weight of love and sinister kids are my favorites...i dont really like the soft tone on every track dan...even low hi was same super mellow vocal style...its cool but every now n then let loose dog...sinister kid is great example...the simplicity and tightness of Pgirl ...thats them in their primes imo

I wouldn’t say worst maybe more mainstream. Either way they are still fun to listen to.

[@silversun371]

Yeah, he's a studio head that produces alot of albums for himself and other artists simultaneously. He probably has alot of sleepless nights. Plus I recall him mentioning on The Joe Rogan Experience that he has been doing some boxing training.

[@theax40]

I never cared much for the Black Keys. There's nothing wrong with their music, I won't tell you to change it if it's playing. It's just not my style, not enough blast beats haha. Regardless, I always felt like they were super cool dudes who just fucken absolutely NAILED it. Like they really nailed it so hard. They just have their sound and for whatever reason it blew up so big. Good for them, totally deserved.
