Great job Bill, perfect way to follow up Erik Satie!

I want this song to marry me, at least until I get sick of it... which might be in about 4 minutes.

As a drummer myself I have to disagree, but I can see where the impression might be coming from - there is indeed Bonham's influence in this drummer's playing, although he doesn't get the unmistakable feel that Bonham had.


I was being sarcastic. I think he wants to be Bonzo really bad.

El Camino is Spanish for "The Road," and coming from where the Keys were starting out, that vehicle appears to be a reference to their "band van" and hitting the road.

Saw these guys live in Fresno (had to drive 3.5 hours to get there dang it), but wow, what a show and this tune was pretty much the climax of the show — awesome. This is definitely one of my favorite Keys tunes.

Came out of the high north (Toktoyaktuk) down to Cowtown and listened to this CD every inch of the way. Some addictions are ...strange...

Is this song about the movie The Matrix?
Listen to the lyrics and think about it.

I don't care whether this sounds like Stairway to Heaven - it doesn't taint the song enough for me not to LOVE it!

El Camino. Is the cover vehicle an El Camino? I think not. Just an hour ago, there was a red, open-bed, circa 1985 El Camino parked on 6th Ave. in Brooklyn, right across the street from my apartment. I've seen it many times, and it's clearly branded as an El Camino, and this Black Keys vehicle, a mini-van, looks nothing like it.
But this is a good song. Love the mid-way break and the guitar climax. Very happening.

I think you can pretty much put the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven to this song. Kinda funny...
