The Black Keys rocked the 2014 Hangout Festival on Friday night, and amid the sea of fans, the actual sea and the full moon, the duo spat out some fighting words about their new album, Turn Blue.
The message? Fans must take down Michael Jackson — an unsurprising sentiment after Patrick Carney called MJ’s posthumous album Xscape “bullsh–” last week.
“It’s the classic story of Dan and I,” Carney told MTV News. “We want to have a #1 album, but Michael Jackson releases something from the grave and cockblocks us.” (...)
It's a shame they're missing out on a number one album cause of LA Reid's sad exploitation of a deceased legend's demos that weren't even meant to see the light of day.
This is just so disrespectful . Being #1 is not everything. The fact is, their album had more impact that it is a close race for #1 spot with the King Of Pop. They better SEETHE!

Mess @ you taking Patrick seriously (Dan likely didn't say anything) and thinking they really give a ****.

Dan Auerbach’s words onstage were a bit smoother, but echoed their battle cry.
“We got a new record that just came out this week,” Dan Auerbach said after playing “Money Maker.” “We hope everyone went and bought it so we can beat Michael Jackson on the Billboard charts.”
Does it really matter if their album hit #1 or not? Sales are sales.
