Oh Justin! You should try this song to the video with the 1953 movie with Oliver Teller in it. I think you’d like it a lot more. JMO Best wishes on the rest of your tour ✌🏽

That song sounds very much like an ad. Not bad, mind you. It just does.

Yeah it really does sound like an ad you try & skip on KZread. Also you can replace that song with Happy by Pharrell or Can't Stop the Feeling by Timberlake that's how generic the music video is.

Considering how difficult it is to make money in the music industry these days, I don't begrudge them that at all.

So good to see you feeling better Justin!

Thank you for introducing me to the Black Keys! I don't know how I missed them this long. Just discovered "Little Black Submarines" I love the tension when it doesn't go where I expect it to go.

Magic potion is such a brilliant record. The opening track “Just got to be” is my absolute favourite Black keys song.

Guitar tone on the record is so satisfying and in the room. Love it

I think music is changing and that it's not a bad move. I'm in a way glad that they are putting actual rock out there in this new consumerist space. I will always love them for 'Too Afraid to Love You' and 'Blakroc'

Rufus! Such an angelic face for a man what hits things for a living.

You can really hear Beck's influence in this song. It's got an E-Pro, Where It's At, Sex Laws, Think I'm In Love kind of vibe to it

Awwwh take care and get well soon❤!

Good to see you up and running again! Hope you are able to rest in between shows I'm sure you will get back to NZ ASAP. ❤ sending love to you all. ...oh the pentatonic scale... the bane of my song writing 😂 really reminds me of something from lock stock and two smoking barrels... my memory illudes me on the song title. Liking the black keys newest album.

We were with you guys in Adelaide! We Love You. Fantastic Show and Always such kind funny fellows. Thank You for a memorable moment! You guys deserve some well earned rest soon. WE Believe in a Thing Called Love!

Love the On Tour ones. Hearing the practicing in the background is cool!

I love the Black Keys, listened to this song as soon as it dropped, haven't wanted to play it through again.

Glad to see you better Justin...and Rufus in the intro!! How I love the Queen tattoo on your beautiful fingers!!

I couldn’t agree more… I love the black keys and have been listening to them for 15 years. I definitely love the old stuff better… “thick freakness” was awesome and “Rubber Factory” is my favorite album

I will say I saw the Black Keys at “Bourbon and Beyond” and they played music from “let’s rock” through “the big come up” seriously at least 2 or 3 songs off every LP definitely worth seeing and I can’t wait to see them again. I suggest seeing them at a festival… I feel you are more limely to see all their catalog

Oh, wow!You mentioned Adriano Celentano!!I had no doubt about your knowledge but this is just amazing!! Ciao from Italy and definitely..get well soon!

Good day Justin, lt is alot of fun watching you break down riffs and apply the bits you like and find clever on your guitar....a side note I personaly think your intro music is clever. I worked it out on my guitar ...now I can play it .. I see what you do from single notes and the chords how they resolve at the end , You make great choices with this progression.. I think you are a pretty smart muscian I find it even more enjoyable.. a humbel thank you Justin is well deserved......🎸 great as always sir 🎶

In the middle of things, I see 🙂 Glad to see you're well again! Voice seems unaffected 🙂

Hope you are feeling better .

7:39: Adriano Celentano "Prisencolinensinainciusol" is a lot of fun 🤣 Almost feels like a kind of asemic writing (but in song form...)

Crashingly good comedic cameos - more please - love you

I like the song because it is so tongue ‘n’ cheek. I just saw them live in California and it was a great show! 🎹🎹🎹

Well a bit of fun from TBK. I hear Beck too. More importantly I must say a great fun and rocking show by the lads at The Hindley St. Music Hall in our one horse town the other night.Even with Juzzo not 100%.Did miss a catsuit change and headstand on the drum riser but hey.. Bit of satin for the encore a nice touch.

Love them and their Instagram ads for this album are the best!

You hit the nail on the hammer at 07.36. Still fun😊

attended their September 2023 concert in TOronto with a big band and a couple of their guitar heroes on board - BLEW MY MIND ! and i have enjoyed many shows.

The Black Keys made music with the legendary Dr. John. The song Revolution is a storming track

Love the whole thing! We were in New Orleans a few weeks ago and tried to see where he is buried. In cemetery No 2 apparently, but it was all Locked Down! 😥

Went to listen to their album Magic Potion after this, first Your Touch. Heavy 60s rock guitar sounds. 🙂🤘🏻 After listening to Just A Little Heat, I'm going to immerse myself fully in this. Thanks! 😉

Too Google phone adverty for me, sounds soulless and corporate

Love Magic Potion. I’ll love this too. Black Keys can do no wrong in my ears.

My brother's and I had the Black Keys Brothers poster up in our jam space :)

It's alright 😉👍

It doesn't seem like Magic Potion gets much appreciation, but I agree, I love it

Coming to sports and apple commercials: The Black Keys!!!!

Got the album preordered already love blues rock music

Shame you got an over produced pop album instead of a blues rock!

I'm sure that start is in some ad! Can't think of what. This song is all over my radio station in Vancouver.

For me, this is old school Motown. Seeing how they're from Akron they probably come by it naturally, they've always had that late '60s early '70s vibe.

I like it !!!

I heard one of The Black Keys do a version of Prince' Take Me With You. It was awesome.

🙌Best intro ever!!!🙌😂❤❤ Yeah babyyyyyy!!!🐯😎😙 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Glad to see you better, Justin! Take care😘

for the few bits I managed to get (i know you have to break the songs up a ton to avoid the lawyers) that groove is wicked. It's one of those things where you almost don't care about the rest of that song because that groove underneath is utterly addictive.

Had tickets to your Wellington gig, had been looking forward to it for a long time. Bro when are you coming back. I mean how hard is it to get a flight to NZ after your Australia leg and put two shows on? Alternatively, I’m happy to have a word with the governor at my local to see if he’d be happy for an impromptu gig. Love and live dangerously my son.

I was a huge fan. Loved their music from early 2000s to early 2010s. The sound changed and evolved after that. I still like their music but not as much as in those days. Guess I changed too in that time ;)

Good lord. Do we need to get outselves a collective hat? Are you doing it again?! ❤

Nice watch

Their first albums were amazing. Thickfreakness has to be my favourite but Brothers is also an absolute classic

Only just occurred to me, that you have the drummers Dad on your finger! Love it. Love RTT, love you.

I love this. The Black Keys just have such great grooves.

Sweet submariner you're rocking

I agree that the magic of the black keys is at its finest when it is Dan & Pat. I do like their more filled out stuff. It just doesn’t get any better than them playing Thickfreakness for me.

Yeah man! Ride again!

Cool that you mentioned Magic Potion, it's really their weirdest and most stripped-to-the-bone record, god I love it

I literally thought you got hit with a KZread ad at first before I realized it was the song 😅

Your touch is a phenomenal BK's song.

Get well soon Justin 🎸 Jeez, for a split second thought that was Rishi in the thumbnail ! :)

Rufus is just cute as a bug. If you like feuds Justin, and I know you do, there is/was a huge feud between The Black Keys and The White Stripes/Jack White. Don't know if it is still active, but boy, was it stupid. Glad you're feeling better, take care..

Wow. I love this sound. Music with soul is coming back! 🙏

What’s the piezo to mic blend on your anthem pickup??

I'm sure I've heard than tune before, just can't think of where 🤔

Any Singapore shows by any chance?

I see the Black Keys as a 21st century T-REX. Short, groovy songs with a good hook that make us feel good for 3 minutes. Nothing fancy, nothing challenging, just catchy and fun. Love them!

I have a martin 12 string D 35 from 1970 and it has that same contrast on the fretboard as yours does, interesting… is that a Martin?

Well i can say as a Keys fan i am Iiking this song quite a lot. I am also old enough to see this music being used in a gap commercial in the 90s. As a side note they created a promotional short with them talking to young ladies at a bowling alley and it’s funny as sh*t…

It’s good, boppy running/workout music. And kind of infectious. In a good way … 😅

I am *here* for the Rufus cameo! 😂

The chorus alone is a positive, elevating message in today's troubled world...

Did the Black Keys release a single yet?

Deadset thought you were going to break into Ten Years After Love Like A Man there!!!😅🎶👊

Black keys strike me as a band who will make the album they want to make, then an album of ad friendly dittys to refill the coffers

Magic Potion is the Black Keys at their finest. That album is an epic sonic journey. Beautiful People (Stay High) is not what I expected, but I'm here for it. The Black Keys & Beck sound great together. The song reminds me of a few tracks off Beck's album Guero. Can't forget Dan the Automator. Give Handsome Boy Modeling School a listen. High hopes for Ohio Players. Can't wait to hear Alice Cooper sing with the Black Keys.

Scrolling by the thumbnail I thought, “is that John and John? Is Justin watching TMBG?”

It's got that Rare Earth, "Hey Big Brother" kind of soul. I never got the memo about The Black Keys - why didn't somebody tell me?! 🔥

The Beck influence on this makes feel pretty much just a Beck song - and that's not a bad thing. I'll be looking forward to hearing the whole album and seeing how that pans out. You're right in saying that the Black Keys are at their best when it is just the two of them and all of the embellishments are stripped back.

The answer is yes.

Not the best black keys song but these guys can put there hand to anything!

Used to love the Black Keys up til the El Camino album, then they just started making music for adverts it seems.

Will you be catching up with The Southern River Band while you are over there

Can't lose what you never had.

Sounds like Reef :)

Very much a Beck looping vibe going on. Not bad I suppose but not really pushing the boundaries. More Beck please. Oh!

I agree I don’t like the Black Keys with a backing band era. They were in their prime when they did the live at the crystal ballroom live video recording. Dan’s semi hollow body guitar with P-90’s was so hot it would damn near feedback between every note. Good stuff.

Dan Auerbach's voice is very nice. When they released "El Camino" I first listened to them before seeing their faces and I got surprised because I expected another face according to his voice (don't know what face, but another face😅, not saying anything bad about it). I felt the same with other artists (Rick Astley, Jimmy Somerville, Black, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Holly Johnson...) I don't know if it's only a thing that I perceive or it happens to more people Nice one!!!👍

Even if Justin Hawkins' pipes get a bit worse for wear The Darkness show can go on. One option would be to unleash operation understudy. There are killer Queen and The Darkness tribute bands where an understudy could be rapidly recruited and crash-coursed in The Darkness way. Another would be to develop an instrumental all-stars setlist complete with a singalong symphony to "I Believe in a Thing Called Love". Even without the main vocalist The Darkness could still rock a stadium harder than a badger on a sugar rush.

I’m more a fan of the early Black Keys music that was just drums, guitars & vocals. I’m also looking forward to seeing you guys next Saturday night.

@@bradhogan646 Its rare though. Im thinking a lot about music history and timelessness of songs. Think about it a little. The majority of most memorable songs and very old songs that are still played have crisp instruments playing. How many rock songs from 2000s with thick wall of sound are memorable in pop culture? Oasis got less and less popular the more they overproduced records. Ed Sheerans last album has horrible sales, happens to be his most overproduced and drowned. Adele had sharpest sounding record of decade and was one of the highest selling albums. Ed Sheeran tried to copy The Weekend so why it isnt selling? Songs are as good, but if you listen to Weekend record, it is crisp. Tell me what you want but the absolute vast majority seems to be clear sounding.
