Meg and Jack White, The White Stripes, pretended to be siblings. This much we know. Yet, there are many questions surrounding this odd situation that aren't so clear. Like when did they start? From their debut? De Stijl? White Blood Cells? Elephant? Get Behind Me Satan? Icky Thump? Did they ever stop? During the release of Fell in Love with a Girl, We're Going to Be Friends, Seven Nation Army, Blue Orchid? And, most importantly: Why? Why did the White Stripes pretend to be siblings? All this and more answered in this video.

It might be closer to say that he sees Meg as his soul sister. They have a bond that goes beyond simple labels, its not just that they were a couple that divorced but still want to be friends, they're something that you can't easily define.
I think that's good way to put it.
That's the best comment I've ever seen summing this up.
Thats what he says in the video
The cycle is broken, Marc now knows how to end videos now.
End of an era.
7:47 nah “he sounds like a weirdo” is crazy🤣
I have a friend, me and him dated. It NEVER felt right but we knew we were more than friends, not romantically but just a deep bond/feeling. I currently refer to him as my brother, he IS my family. We've been through alot and done alot together. What family is isn't just defined by blood, it's defined by experience and the true bond you feel with someone. I feel like that's how it was for them aswell.
I'm completely agree with you 👍
If I fucked a girl that is NOT my sister no matter how bonded we are
those are the most magical freindships. together you 2 can do no harm
6:22 Love how instead of naming John Peel he just said ‘a radio DJ’ lol and showed his picture
It's interesting that it was Jack who introduced Meg as his sister. Meg never commented on it. At that time, people used to think that she was living in Jack's shadow, remaining silent by his side. I watched the documentary Under Great White Northern Lights and there is a scene that defines Meg's personality. I remembered that Jack commented, “Meg, can you tell the world something once and for all? and Meg replied: “I'm quiet. What can I say? I would say that you have nothing to do with it."
That was Meg White a very shy and introvert woman.
The amazing thing about this duo is that it is literally a two- person band. I didnt know much about them. Thank you Marcbutevil for the video. Good rock for sure. Each of their last three albums has won a Grammy award for best alternative music album.
they were just a lil silly
Just trollin
I always struggle to explain this fact to people when discussing one of my favorite bands. It is definitely beyond a gimmick as Jack and other people have described it. Now I can just send them this video, thank you! It is definitely found family.
i thought they were siblings until a minute ago lol
I didn't know either. Actually, this happens a lot. However, their music is good. I still listen to it all the time to this day.
Jack has said on multiple occasions that "the white lie" that they were brothers was necessary, in my opinion, I agree with him, siblings usually have a special musical chemistry with each other and can complement each other's voices and fans love that. On the other hand, siblings have been confused as a couple too creating gossip and confusion among the fans. For example the band Fleetwood Mac and its members Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were dating when they joined the band, but when they broke up many fans thought the couple argued more like brother and sister. We are fans and we create our own reality about our favorite musicians.
Great video, btw.
2:31 never thought I would get jump scared by a sponser segment
Much respect to Jack for keeping it going
I was really expecting it to be something like Jack was making an extended Carpenters homage with the band that got WAY out of hand. Gotta give respect, whatever the real reason, that man will commit to the bit like nobody's business.
I was reading about Carpenters yesterday. Good music and very interesting story.
You know it’s a good day Marc drops a vid
I think Jack didn't want the public to know that he was in a relationship with her. When that happens, female fans may lose interest in the artist, but if they think he's single, they consider him everyone's boyfriend. There is a bit of curiosity or illusion in that. I do not know why.
My favorite song of the duo is "fell in love with a girl", in which the guy knows that she is precisely as in love with him as she is with every other boy in the world but he can't think with common sense and even knowing she is having others in her life he doesn't consider it cheating.
Considering the bluesy nature of their music, I feel like the brother and sister thing is more symbolic for him. Like when a friend calls their best friend their brother, especially in the south. I think it’s more like that rather than anything else. The only reason why it’s weird is because of the marriage certificate and the fact men and women can’t just be friends for some reason.
Marcus, yet despicable has released another one of his greatest films.
You've covered some of my favorite bands at this point, just waiting for the day you cover Radiohead
I'm shocked I haven't yet, I love them.
@@MarcButEvil It honestly feels like we have the same music taste and I love it
@@MarcButEvilRadiohead is such a small act, They would thrive on your massive channel. Please give them a shout out
want Hurley!
Such an underrated channel, can't wait to see more from you. Should do a video on The Slaves (they changed thier name to SOFT PLAY)
I love you, MarcButEvil
Finally, he figured out how to end a video.
such a wholesome video
i demand tally hall/ miracle musical related content (although this is really good!)
The White Stripes?? Like the Colgate product?
I love this guy's video's are so entertaining live love laugh marc
Fans love gossip, but the duo from the beginning used controversy as a strategy to gain notoriety and surround themselves with a halo of mystery when they became known as brothers. According to Jack they did it.... "to give more importance to their music and that the press did not put their relationship in the first place". Honestly, they have the merit of having become one of the most important musical duos of their time and transcending the music to this day.
“Sounds like a weirdo” that’s crazy
I love marc just waiting for him to cover MCR 😔
HELL YEAH!
Jack Black vs Jack White would be a battle for the ages
woah wait marcs fine as fuckhello???? i audibly said woah like-
Your videos are so high quality, hope you gain more traction on the internet ✌️
loving the tides, by home in the background
I enjoy your videos man.
They're cool
thanks so are you
I dont care what they are to each other, they still give me massive joy when i listen to them.
maybe it was just a kink?
Don’t let this man suggest anything ever again
NO PLEASE GOD NO
say that again ⁉
WHO GAVE U FACILITIES TO COOK
My Brudder said..
They definitely should have made out publicly before people figured out the truth. 😂
I was thinking the whole "Sister from another Mister" thing, too.
Great video Marc.
Jack told to the New York Times magazine that he doesn't want to define roles for the women he knows...." You're my wife, you're my girlfriend". Then, why he defined Meg as his sister?
I think he controlled Meg but I don't know for sure. They made good rock, btw.
It is now July 4, 2023 and I am just finding out that they’re not siblings. 😂
One of the greatest fucking bands of all time. If people missed the point, that's their own loss.
watched this and realized i dont watch you for weezer i watch you because youre cool
Never thought a video about the white stripes would go along great with the fantastic mr fox soundtrack
Fantastic Mr. Fox Soundtrack goes well with everything
Wow Jack White looks a lot like Danny Elfman when they have the same haircut. Or maybe it;s the haircut...
Another good video, been watching you for a while now. You should probably credit the music you use though, I recognise a lot of home in there
this video came out while I was pooing in a golden coral
congrats
One of my favorite bands of all time.. And I came into the band knowing that marriage - divorce - sibling thing..
to me, the “sibling” energy played into the innocent (almost naive)/rough-around-the-edges/“made it at the house while our parents were out” sound.. the “married, but divorced” thing added some tension/passion to the presentation (especially in live shows).. the “white” surname exchange just worked so well with the band name and peppermint aesthetic.. and I mean, the best artists (to me) are a little weird and not to be understood completely.. I always liked that about them (even the fact that they broke up put a nice bow on their run and catalog)..
They just hit the perfect mix of EVERYTHING.. lightning in a bottle.. chemistry at the highest level.. real life rock n’ roll shit.. possibly the last of their kind
they lied about it specifically to fuck with people and gain attention. their marketing is better than their music
My cat's are named after the band members names
I always imagined that it was due to some artistic identity, a kind of lore of the band.
His mistake in 1997 at that show was saying that Meg was his little sister- at other shows in later years he introduced her as his older sister
Also did no-one else notice the song from Fantastic Mr. Fox playing in the background
been listening to a lot of whites stripes lately. going back and watching videos was kinda funny seeing meg, jack and another girl. they really tried to fool us.
edit: honestly they inspired me to tone it down with my music production in terms of approach jack is a genius
Concordo con quell "è un genio"
The Carpenters, the Jackson Five, the Jonas Bother, are other successful siblings with their musical partneship. Why did the White Stripes lie about this? It seems to me that although Jack has responded about that, he has not told the true and we are not going to know that at this point.
6:23 you mean John Peel? the most important DJ for Alternative Music of all time? 🤦🏻♂️
MARC FACE!
Imagine going to your friend's wedding, and then 5 years later listening to them lie and claim they weren't married. That's exactly what's happening here.
P.S. Telling people you're brother and sister does not "remove" pre-conceived notions. It makes people think "Oh boy, a FAMILY band".
Dobugaba 7:43 dabaday
Why’s he sound like Chris Chan
Just a note because I always have to say something about Weezer. The White Stripes shared the stage with them in 2000 at Spaceland, but the band were well known until the following year.
I'm not a fan of the White Stripes but if Weezer is involved I have to mention it.
Thank you MarcbutEvil for another great video.
7:48 he sounds like a weirdo 😂
Sick
if the white stripes had a million fans, I'm one of them,
if the white stripes has one hundred fans, I'm one of them
if the white stripes had ten fans, I'm one of them,
if the shitw stripes has one fan, I'm that one fan,
if they white stripes has no fans, I'm dead.
"Because it's funny" didn't come up once through this video.
jack said in multiple interviews that it was “for the lolz”
Lie=Money, each one has a story to tell, Seven Nation army reached more than 7 nations, Jack White knows how to lie, he is a genius...
Dude if you can identify as a whole other gender, I think you could identify as siblings.
It was genius! The sheep love to wonder in gossip, because it’s all they have.

Great video! Fuck your ad, but great video!
Really? Come on. Everyone hates ads, but that's how videos get made. There's no reason to act like a four-year-old having a tantrum because a guy who made a free video for you did an ad you don't like and could easily skip. Grow up a little, my guy.
11+ minutes of overcomplication dude. It's just a brother and sister who happen to be in an incestuous marriage. It's not complicated.
