The original Black Keys.

When your drummer actually beats the piss out of his set instead of imitating it on stage.

I think it’s fascinating how this is almost like a completely different band then how they are now but they’re still the black keys it’s awesome

I miss the days when Dan used to look like Happy Gilmore's Caddie

although they won a grammy with other hits, i believe this was their best album.

This Dan is the one who influenced me soooo much lol. Crazy cuz we play so much alike now because when I was learning at 15 that's who interested me the most. His playing just sticks to the ear! Now his studio Easy Eye Sound is putting out INCREDIBLE music from some INCREDIBLE artists... I couldn't be more proud of these guys for real... ✌🖤🤘

I grew up with this era of Black Keys and it's just so gritty. A-Class. However, what Danger Mouse did with Attack and Release is the work of gods. Nothing else like it out there.

When I think of The Black Keys this is the era and look of the band that I think of. Far better than recent years.
