  • [Edit: New song from my band I'd love you to check out! song.link/t8b645v48dpmw]
    Another amazing band: The White Stripes! There's a lot to say about these two, as always, and since I have promised weekly videos and didn't want to rush through the rest of the band's career, this is Part 1 of 2 on the Stripes. Covered here is the story of the group's formation all the way up to the release of White Blood Cells, just before they blew up.
    All the fun that came after will be covered in next week's video!

      I’ve reuploaded it a few times, but some are blocked in some regions and some you need a direct link now:

      Hopefully one of those works for you!

    Hotel Yorba was the first song I saw on mtv. Now, I'd heard of them on Guitar Magazine, but dismissed them for being called punk (I like some punk, but am not a disciple). Then my brother turned me onto The White Stripes - White Blood Cells album, and I became a fan.

    • @zackp1717
      @zackp1717 4 роки тому

      The stripes are punk as fuck my dude. Not in sound (well not completely at least), but in attitude. I want to say that's what the guitar magazine's meant back in the day.
      I grew up on punk rock and the DIY ethics. And so as a 14 year old obsessed with punk rock, discovering a band like the stripes, who are from your home town more or less, is a powerful thing.
      Its very easy to see why they are sometimes called a punk rock band.
      I mean, technically garage rock IS punk rock. Just from before it was called punk.
      Long tangent I went on there.
      Long story short. The white stripes kick ass and genres aren't important haha

    • @bufozilla

      Actually they divorced sometime shortly after their second album around 2000 and 2001. Also the rumor that they were brother and sister was started by Jack when they formed the band. He wanted it to distract his audience from thinking they were just another white boy blues band. When in actuality this band was built on the blues.

    your wrong about the gold dollar performance in 1997, the white stripes didnt have any music in 1997. the show was in 2001. if u dont believe me check the white stripes channel. and also their first live performance was in 2000 at the Jays Upstairs.

    • @MeetTheBand
      @MeetTheBand  Рік тому

      Their first show was an open mic night at the Gold Dollar in ‘97. Third Man Records even released an official recording of this show a few years back: ua-cam.com/video/xuby1lKMzko/v-deo.html
      They didn’t have any originals for that first show, but they played 3 covers.
      They definitely played there again in 2001, but Jack played the Gold Dollar a lot with other bands before TWS and multiple times with Meg. Their first 3 shows as TWS were all at the Gold Dollar.
      And there’s at least a dozen live performances on record from before 2000. They played Jay’s Upstairs the week they released their second full length album. So that’d be pretty late to start performing live!

      And they already have the revenue from any ads that would be on that video. So I don’t understand why they would block it. And what they’re claiming is mostly the video content because I showed a snippet of Hardest Button To Button because I think that music video is so good.
