Lol. I actually love how the “sister” narrative is somehow still persisting.
HAHAHAHA. I though wife/exwife was common knowledge. :)
"I love the bass on Seven Nation Army and the keyboard on Icky Thump" - Watching a 2-piece band consisting of guitar/vocals and drums performing live before your eyes.
@@Gekokujo76 that wasn't live and they do have different instruments that they use like keyboards.
@@TheMarkc614 Who played keyboards on this song? Who is the bass player on Seven Nation Army?
@@Gekokujo76 Jack played guitar and keyboards on the album, along with mandolin and synthesizers.
On Seven Nation Army, what sounds like a bass is actually created by running Jack White's semi-acoustic, 1950s-style Kay Hollowbody guitar through a DigiTech Whammy pedal set down an octave.
Jack white and his ex-wife Meg White.
Jack White is one of those guys that can play almost any instrument, he has been voted one of the greatest guitarist and is considered a musical genius.
You really need to hear Blue Orchid.
This! Blue Orchid live from the basement version
Yes. They're not brother and sister.
He can barely play guitar lol
@@Law-Enduring-Citizen what?
@@davidcarrillo3274 he sux 🤣
White Stripes are legit raw creativity. Unrefined. Perfect.
Ya this song really kicks.....i never paid much attention to them only heard that one song on the radio over and over and over.....
I'm telling you guys, Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground and Hotel Yorba are totally worth the listen.
On a side note, I have pics I took of Hotel Yorba a few blocks west of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.
Second this, I’d also be interested in their reaction to Ball and Biscuit especially a live vid of it
think we're going to be friends great cut
Yep, two of their best. Must hear.
Dead leaves and the dirty ground has always given me 70s vibes. Lex would probably love it
Jack White was also in The Raconteurs, which is a full band and also have some great songs like "Steady as She Goes" or "Level".
The Black Keys is another 2-person band with great blues-rock songs like "Howlin For You", "Things Ain't Like They Used to Be", or "Your Touch".
For other, totally different sounding White Stripes songs, "Fell in Love With a Girl", "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground", or "Hotel Yorba". So many great songs. Saw them at Red Rocks and easily top 5 best rock concerts I've attended.
If you like the White Stripes and Black Keys give Black Pistol Fire and Blue Stones a whirl. Both are two piece bands.
Consolers of the Lonely! When Jack does that cool wiki wiki noise with his voice lol
Love Raconteurs ❤️
Check out Jack’s drumming in the Dead Weather
"Dead leaves and the dirty ground" or "Fell in love with a girl" would be a couple of excellent follow up songs. After that, "Blue orchid" and "Astro" to get fully into them. Any song after that. 🙂
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground!!!!! My favorite.
"Blue orchid" is also a banger from them
the "From the Basement" sessions is kick ass.
Absolutely LOVE Lex’s music descriptions. COMPLETELY UNIQUE and usually spot on!!!!!
White Stripes "My Doorbell." My personal favorite. And again, really different sound to it.
The White Stripes music ranges from Country to blues to rock. Jack is an amazing musician. The songs he wrote for Cold Mountain have that early American Settlers sound to it.
That’s a bad ass sound track. I don’t usually praise music from movies, this is by far the most interesting. Fantastic
You guys should react to…
The White Stripes - Hardest Button To Button
🎸🤘
Fucking love that song
Simpsons!!
Video is a trip like most of then done by Michel Gondry
Ball and Biscuit
Ball and Biscuit
Jack White, the genius of our generation!
Jack white would totally approve of this song being referred to as “the space between a period and the next sentence”. Kindred spirits!
I saw White Stripes live many years ago and what impressed me the most is that there was only the two of them on stage, playing all the necessary instruments. No backup instrumentalists and no extra singers. They just switched when needed and it sounded so good aswell.
He's in the documentary/ movie "It Might Get Loud" with The Edge from U2 and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin and in one scene he basically says "pick a fight with your guitar". I think that's how he gets creative in his Solos. Jack White is Fire!!!
Hard agree.
You mean jimmy page from yard birds or many other bands before led zeppelin
Loved the opening with him making a guitar from wood, nails, a wire, coke bottle and a 6 volt battery
@@jamesmonroe3940 Its still the same guy. His whole biography is not needed in the youtube comment section. Most of it is well known anyway.
@@jamesmonroe3940 How to be a douche within 3 seconds.
Lex's body language while listening is exactly how listen to this song every single time I hear it. I love this song.
Jack White is a damn gift!
“BALL AND BISCUIT” or “THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON” are 2 bangers from the White Stripes. Lex would totally be sold on them if she listened to either, or both of those tracks.
Lex, your analogies are the best things I've ever heard in any music reactions.
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground is one of my favorites! You should check out one of their live performances. All different, all brilliant
Their cover of “I just don’t know what to do with myself” is one of my favourites 🙌🏻🤘🏻
You guys need to do the WHITE SYRIPES COVER OF JOLENE BY DOLLY PARTON
Do both versions
That would give them a great sample of a live performance by them. That's gonna be my favorite live performance by them ever, never gonna change.
YEEEESSSSS!!!! I just suggested this one on a different one of their videos 😂
I love how Lex bops her head to every single instrument that's playing😄👍

She always reacts to the music, he always reacts more to the lyrics.
Jack's solo career is good too. The song Lazaretto is definitely a great listen. Love him with the Dead Weather. Love him with the Raconteurs. Love him with Meg (his wife not sister despite what they used to say) in the White Stripes. He's phenomenal. Saw him a few years ago in concert and cannot wait to see him again.
I still keep “Blue Orchid,” “Fell in Love With a Girl,” “Hardest Button to Button,” and and bunch of others on shuffle. Amazing stuff, including Jack’s work with the Raconteurs.
The keyboard sounding solo was done with a Univox synthesizer. Jack White is the best guitar player in the last 20 yrs. IMO; one of the most unique styles ever. Try Ball and Biscuit for the next one! Cheers!
Live Under Blackpool lights 👌🏻
That’s actually his ex wife now. 😬 He also took her last name when they married!
If you’re talking about Meg, she’s Jack’s sister.
Defo wife. How ex.
@@flogg8635 Meg is his ex wife. They claimed to be brother and sister in the beginning. But they were actually husband and wife
@@AriNoelle1 , wow. Makes you wonder which story is the truth. Hopefully no inbred children.
@@flogg8635 lol no need to wonder what the truth is, the truth is definitely that they were married and not siblings. It's very well documented at this point.
One of their secret ingredients is that Jack White is a serious lover of music.
Also, check out their part in "Coffee and Cigarettes". Great movie! Very funny and artistic.
Jack's impression of Elvis Presley in Dewey Cox is also hilarious ua-cam.com/video/x8Mx9yz6wFE/v-deo.html
@@POPNDOUGH yes! I forgot about that
Ahhh yes, forgot about that one! Good call.
'Truth Doesn't Make A Noise' is another great one from them.
I think it's probably my favourite song of theirs. Beautiful song.
Enjoy your descriptions so much, Lex!
Man, Lex may not know musical terminology but she's clearly a deep listener and hits the nail on the head all the time. That "Empty space after a period before the next sentence" perfectly describes, to me, what makes Meg's drumming so distinctive, where she'll hit just a fraction of a beat past where you expect to hear it and it creates this whole anticipation/satisfaction thing. Ringo Starr did that too. Anyway, loving this channel, keep up the good work
PS Check out The Dead Weather, Jack's in that too
Nah fr, that was so cool to see/hear as a musician. People don't tap into their creative side enough, that was a great description.
White Stripes- we are going to be friends, another totally different vibe.
Kind of an ANTI guitar solo. Slaps though for sure. You can hear the notes he doesn't play, and the feeling of wanting them is powerful.
I always thought they said they were siblings just to fuck with people ... Jack White is definitely the type of guy who likes to make fun of everything^^
Ball and Biscuit, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground! Peace
Love Dead Leaves! Beautiful song
Lex just gets it. Period. Nice reaction y'all! Love the white stripes and anything else Jack White has touched
"Little Acorn" please & thx. When they first got big they told everyone that they were brother & sister, but the media found out they were actually married. They got a divorced while still playing together. Jack is so creative at using different sound, but he's one of the best modern guitarists.
Yes Little Acorn , Yes Red Rain too.
Lex can always paint the picture, really love how Brad is so cerebral and lex is so artistic and they just give a perfect balance to eachother and us the viewers... and yep, they were in a relationship, but cute the whole brother and sister thing still persists over 20yrs later... lol, we fell for it for a short minute back in the day... actually, Brad and Lex might be able to pull it off too
Love this track! Such a unique sound
I would like to see Lex's reaction to Love Interruption by Jack White
The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Jack White - all amazing and he has so many sounds. Keep Going!!
Lex... I've said this before and I'll say it again... I LOVE the way your mind works. The incredibly deep feelings/emotions that you get from songs, is truly remarkable. I honestly think that if you had played an instrument or been in a band, you would have created some very cool stuff. Brad... you have a keeper there. Love you guys!
My faves are "Blue Orchid" and "The Denial Twist" - I also hope you get a chance to check out The Black Keys (another 2 person band) "Lonely Boy" or "Tighten Up"
"The empty space, after the period and before the next sentence." Look at you getting all deep and poetic!
Everyone should start with "Fell in love with a girl"
You said that once before, but it bears repeating.
guitar, drums, and vocals. perfection.
"The Hardest Button to Button" live would be a great listen.
That was great...Awesome explanation Lex.
Been waiting for this 1!
YES! 🤘🏻 Love this Band! ❤️
You should check out Jack White's other band, The Dead Weather. Try their track 'Blue Blood Blues'. You would really like it I think.
or The Raconteurs
Treat Me Like Your Mother hits me so harder
This felt like one of those songs where the White Stripes were just, like, "We're going. Keep up, if you're coming".
Lex references the "jazz" feeling here, with the implied notes, or the "notes they're not playing", also having importance. Slightly off-topic, but the actor Hugh Laurie ("Dr. House") wrote an excellent comedic spy thriller novel called "The Gun Seller". In it, the main character posits the "thermodynamical laws of conversation", and specifically one that says, "Every statement implies an equal and opposite statement". It's sorta similar to the oft-misunderstood idea of "the exception that proves the rule" (eg. "Students may swim on Tuesdays" is the exception that proves the unstated rule that "students may not swim under regular circumstances". If the unstated rule didn't exist, you wouldn't need an exception to it). One example of the "equal and opposite statement" idea might be when someone says, "Trust me"; I don't think anyone's ever heard that statement without immediately thinking, "Should I?". That someone feels the need to make such a statement sorta implies that its opposite might be true.
I think Brad's point might be about the difference between people who try to be "creative" by simply being "random", and those who weave apparent "randomness" around understood patterns of expectations in their audience. The difference between actual chaos, and the apparent chaos that actually hides a more-sophisticated pattern. Jackson Pollock paintings, and the way in which he managed to create a feeling of order underlying apparent chaos by hand-crafting what turned out to be fractal patterns, might be a good instance of the concept.
Love this song. Saw them perform this live at MSG.
There is brilliance in their simplicity. All Bangers: Blue Orchid, Black Math, Fell in Love with a Girl, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. Different, yet GREAT: My Doorbell, Apple Blossom, We Are Going to Be Friends.
Another of Jack's songs that is incredible is his band "The Dead Weather" with Allison Mosshart of The Kills "Treat Me Like Your Mother"". Not only is the song sick the video is a vampire gunfight or something insane. You'll never forget it.
I love seeing Brad’s robot mind reacting to Lex’s out there mind. Sometimes I’m with him and sometimes I’m like, damn Lex, that’s spot on.
Your analogies are spot on
Thank you for sharing this with me Jack is legendary
Lex has a brilliant mind, her insights are mind blowing!
45 years of going to gigs and the White Stripes live at Blackpool Empress Ballroom, England in November 2005 might just have been the best of them all.A magical night.
That’s some heavy, funky ass art 💫
This is my favorite WS song! Thanks for reacting to it!
And Lex, your analysis is perfect! It's alsp exactly what I like about the White Stripes
My god I am so happy to see more White Stripes!!!
Icky thump is a term for your ears ringing after bumping your head into an object. And Jack and Meg used to be married.
Jack white is one of the best musicians of all time I named my son Jack and he was one of the inspirations for his name ( along with his grandfather and Jack daniels lol) he's 18 at the weekend
“That much creativity usually goes terribly wrong.” Brilliant.
This song grooves real nice and dirty.
One of the best..White Stripes are a vibe. They are from Detroit, husband n wife duo. She taught herself how to play drums, but Jack is the engine in this machine.
I have always been enthralled with Jack White. 😍🥰
Definitely one of my favorite white stripes songs
Need to check out some of The Racontuers and Jack Whites solo work. Takes the same song writing from his white stripes days and expands upon everything instrumentally.
Brad's "What does it matter?" comment at the end is one of his best ever. No truer word's were ever spoken. Good stuff!!!
I never tire of this record
Lex's "[musical] elephant in the room" observation deserves a chapter in a doctoral thesis covering *the psychology of music.*
omg yes one of my fav songs of all time :o
I love that garage band sound! Jack White is a musical savant, and his style is very eclectic. But, he's great at the hook, that phrase or riff that pulls you in and keeps you listening. Excellent pick and great reaction, Rock On!
The high-pitch effect is a Whammy Pedal, it lets you put the pitch up or down like a wah-wah pedal. I had one that would raise the pitch several octaves, awesome effect.
I've watched this reaction several times now and i love it. Lex - you said you were hoping they had another good song - i would recommend Blue Orchid. I think it's in the same league as the other 2 that you've reacted to. Even if it's just for your own entertainment - i hope you both check out their live performances. They're fantastic. There's a good one labeled "From The Basement." Also, the singer Jack White - post break-up - formed a couple of other great bands that are worth checking out: The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather. Thanks for your reactions.
When i saw Icky Thump first thought was The Goodies blood pudding episode.
"Hardest Button To Button" is another great song.
Check out some of their arch nemesis, The Black Keys. A deep deep catalog of great tunes.
My all-time favorite band.
the way he totally shreds these songs live is something else man, you should check it out-
If you like their music "It Might Get Loud" is worth a watch interview and history of with Jack White (white stripes), The Edge (U2) and Jimmy Page (led zeppelin), the raconteurs are worth a look they were Jacks follow up project after the stripes
You should check out "We're going to be friends". It's soo good. The Jolene is good as well.
Another Jack White band is THE DEAD WEATHER. My personal fave. You MUST check out “Blue Blood Blues” and “Hustle and Cuss”. Other greats are “I Cut Like a Buffalo” and “Treat Me Like Your Mother”. The lead singer, Alison Mosshart is electric.
Brad lit up on "you cant me a pimp and a prostitute too"...lol that's a good line.
Thumping!!! Love this song! Such a unique song,in that ,some parts that might seem clumsy or amateurish,yet, taken as a whole, it's freakin EPIC!! Welcome to Jack White and his musical genius! XD
Rough and raw. Love it
"Let's Build a Home" GO!
You all need to check out The White Stripes - Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. Also, check out The Black Keys...I think you both will enjoy their music. 🖤🤘🏼
Just looking at the comments and seeing all the different suggestions.
Lex is definitely in for at least one more banger from Jack 😆
They were actually married. But divorced prior to the 7-nation album. Jack chose to say they were siblings because he was concerned that the label would focus on the post relationship drama instead of their music.
One of my favorite WS songs is '300mph Outpour Blues'.
“ You don’t know what loves is “ is another amazing song by The White Stripes.
In case no-one has mentioned it, the title comes from an English comedy show from the 1970s, The Goodies, which I think Jack White is a fan of. One episode was about a martial art from the north of England called "Ecky Thump" (itself derived from a Yorkshire expression of surprise, "by 'eck" (i.e. by heck!) It was (in)famous at the time because someone from Yorkshire actually died laughing at the episode when they had a heart attack 😳
You guys should check the documentary "It Might Get Loud". It follows Jack White of the White Stripes, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Each one retraces their personal histories, walking the same ground and hallways and places they made some of their best stuff. Then they come together to share stories and eventually jam together. Definitely worth the watch for guitar fans!
Love this tune 2 bits
Yeah you gotta do Ball and Biscuit !
your description reminded me of Lisa Simpson talking about a jazz musician "You have to listen to the notes he isnt playing"
