"Meg isn't a great drummer." Thats the point. Jack White prefers that. He's said in many interviews that he liked how simple and powerful it was. He's a drummer before a guitarist and he can play much more intricately, but doesn't like it with the white stripes. Listen to his solo stuff when he plays with his bands and plays White Stripes songs, they are good, but the more complex and proper drumming kind of takes away from the "thump" of Meg. God bless Meg for her basic drumming and Jacks godly not giving a shit attitude!
In a world where every drummer wants to do some crazy technical death metal style drumming, someone like Meg is such a relief to play with. You minimal drummers, god bless you.
Tyler Gibb f... that Meg is an awesome drummer. That wasn’t an attack! Lol She plays exactly what fits the music. And I’m a thirty year jazz drummer with a Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones type style. A good drummer keeps the tempo and plays what the song needs. So Ringo and Meg are both excellent drummers/musicians. Musicianship is the most important factor not chops. Chops don’t get the gig...
@@benlogan430 Meg doesn't keep tempo tho? She's a sloppy drummer and whilst I can understand why some people find that appealing, I can also understand others find it frustrating.
Jay Carr fr that man (and lifeson) had to play a synth pedal, at the same time he was playing some complex ass amazing bass part AND he had a synthesizer next to him for certain songs
Makes it good and real. I remember hearing Dave Mathews saying he changes lyrics and riffs all the time especially because it gets boring doing the same every night and also people change and have different thoughts than what's on a song they did years ago.
I can't get over the power with which he plays that airline guitar. It's so crappily made but he made it so popular. It goes to show that it's all about the player.
First of all, I know we weren't supposed to comment on Meg, but I must say, she's my most favourite non-Swedish drummer. Her presence and attitude is awesome. She's so primal, and in difference to so many other drummers, she actually PLAYS her instrument, instead of just keeping the beat up. Much love for her.
+cutie fan I've been a drummer for 35 years and this is far from brilliant drumming but with the dumbing down of society I can see how you think so. This is all complete garbage.
I prefer probably at least 80% of songs I hear live. Hearing the artist play it live and all the changes and raw emotion is what music is all about to me. All a matter of opinion tho. I personally think if you think most songs arent good live, you've got a lot of different bands and music to be listening to.
I was at this festival, little did anyone know this would be the last time they'd play live.It was an unbelieveable experience. They create a sound far greater than many bands, with just the two of them. Anyone who likes this style should check out Black Keys and Archie Bronson Outfit. Wolfmothers first album is a good homage to Led Zep/Hendrix sound.
Love this so much. It's probably my favorite White Stripes song. I saw the Raconteurs last night and it was a great show, and it turned electrifying when Jack was up front. Still, it kills me a little bit to know that I never saw him do this, and I guess I never will.
How many things are going on in his head?! Playing his tiny organ while playing guitar and one second later he switches to singing an playing one of the best riffs ever🔥
He uses a Digitech Whammy WH-1, an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, an Electro-Harmonix Polyphonic Octave Generator (POG), a MXR Micro-Amp, and a Boss tuner. He plugs the effects into a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb amp and two 100-Watt Sears Silvertone 6x10 combo amps. He also gets a lot of tone from his 1965 JB Hutto Montgomery Airlines guitar. The double microphones give stereo sound and louder vocals. He also had all his pedals painted red.
Okay but can we appreciate that the tech guy at the beginning totally looked like he was part of the show? Like I don't think I've ever seen an artist as dedicated to aesthetics as Jack White.
Why does everyone worship jack so much? Don't get me wrong, he's incredibly talented, but he's a person like everyone else. And I hate how everyone always shits on Meg. She has two arms and plays drums with them, not as good as many other bands, but that's why so many people love the white stripes.
AaronLikesSpaghetti Because he really is one of the most talented acts to come from the 21st century. He's just such a great musician and breath of life in the world of shitty commercialized music. I realize that people shit on Meg a lot, which she isn't a very good drummer, but The White Stripes don't need Neil Peart on the drums. They're a stripped back approach to blues/garage rock, all they need is a decent drummer and they're golden. They make simple music, it doesn't require much in terms of drumming.
+AaronLikesSpaghetti Jack White can play this song perfectly if he wanted to, but where's the music in that? Just standing there focusing on your guitar playing, keyboard playing and singing isn't exactly performing either.
+Justin Letcavage very well said bro...I also can't imagine The White Stripes without Meg... f... all the haters..they don't understand anything about real music... ;)
+gixxerboy555 Well, as we've since with jack white's solo career, the white stripes works perfectly fine without Meg, since that's pretty much just a continuation of the white stripes. Not saying that i hate her. She's needed, but replaceable.
+Isaak Keidser Flygare I know..everyone is replaceble everywhere but I like the way Meg is drumming and I like her sound..and...I think..she belongs together with Jack as The White Stripes..they were also originally from the beginning or am I wrong?
Meg: I'm an introvert with anxiety issues.
Jack: Let's do festivals.
Meg: I don't want to play drums anymore.
Jack: (surprised Pikachu)
Probably wasn’t their choice, Jack is known for hating festivals
Just because I'm black
😂😂😂😂
@Sam Forbes don't listen to your mum
This song sounds like it’s going to fall apart at any second, but it doesn’t. Beautiful.
perfect way of describing this performance tbh
Incroyable ! 🤦♂️
I still try to find the time.
New to the white stripes?
Absolutely no fucks were given when he played that key board haha love it
Emily Cordova he fucked his guitar
I call that being lazy.
Noah Harned I call it awesomeness
Emily Cordova he just fucked up and hit keys
Hella lazy, playing keyboard while he hammer ons chord changes.
jack white, one of the best riff makers of the 21st century.
Jonathan Taylor yeah
Jerry Cantrell
LOL

Tyler Gibb saw them live in Cleveland...and watched Meg make love to that kit all night. It was incredible.

You kind of wanted to defend her performance but ended up making it look worse that you implied people thought it was, haha.
This is so goddamn raw. I love it.
Auxioslave does seven nsfion army way better. He is no match for Cornell and Morello
Rodney Gabbard do me a favor and look up how old jack white is. It says he died when he was 8
+Drdoodleloops your comment gave me the lolz
Giggity
Jack White:
Hardest Working Man In Music
after Jack Black!
Interviews are alot of hardwork. Look up Tim Alexander
Steven Wilson's up there too
damon albarn!
John Zorn, Mike Patton, Trey Spruance, Josh Homme, .... Robert Fripp.... and it goes on
You could run a small country with the energy those two put into their shows.
Best. Band. Ever.
Am i the only one who get shivers when he start to play that riff in the chorus?
tchaco lynma yo for real I don't even drink but when he plays that I wanna shoot heroin lol. So goddamn good.
No
I thought it was gonna be like the live seven nation army
Definetely not! Shivers from head to toe 🎸😎
*Octave pedal engaged, eargasm incoming*
multi-tasking at it's finest
check Geddy Lee
charlie172011 I love Jack, but you are soooo right.
Jay Carr fr that man (and lifeson) had to play a synth pedal, at the same time he was playing some complex ass amazing bass part AND he had a synthesizer next to him for certain songs
Omar Capaso yeah geddy lee does something similar
yep, almost like a drummer...
I like the fact that despite having anxiety, once things got going, Meg started feeling the music. Hell of a drummer too.
The fact that this is a two man band blows my mind. Props to Jack and Meg for finding their sound and perfecting it.
Jack doesnt give no fucks on changing the sound of a song. I love it
Yeah, its about the soul, the emotion, the feeling.
Makes it good and real. I remember hearing Dave Mathews saying he changes lyrics and riffs all the time especially because it gets boring doing the same every night and also people change and have different thoughts than what's on a song they did years ago.
jack white is a fucking boss..
who needs that pasty cunt this man in genius !
si veda 😋
More proof: ua-cam.com/video/kxdTXRVz-WU/v-deo.html
Buy Maine potato!
I can't get over the power with which he plays that airline guitar. It's so crappily made but he made it so popular. It goes to show that it's all about the player.
might be a custom
Jeremiah Fernandez its not
@@papadelta9485 not even pickups?
it's a crap guitar from the 70s or some shit. Made of plastic. It was for sale in high street shops I think.
Mr.Burns-On_Acid but cool as shit
Never was a big fan of The White Stripes ,but that's a whole lot power coming off that stage from just two people. Very raucous
Dan true
jack once said in a interview the the beauty of having just 2 people on stage makes it so that you have to be louder
You know why people hates Meg so much? It's because she really doesn't give a shit about what people think.
Shut up, Meg.
Truda mudo No, it's because she can't keep time.
Pedro Dutra actually she does care, that's the whole reason they broke up
There arent many people that go into the music and perform with such passion as Jack White
@Cobb Knobbler is passion measurable
jack white is such an energetic player at times it seems like the guitar almost takes him over.
Never understood how a band this talented and original actually managed to break through and become as successful as they were
U answered your own question ya wanker
@@Codexter1 😆
I think they were equally surprised at that! It's a miracle.
It's down to the the quality and sheer number of their catchy songs. It ain't complicated.
Jack White is a Genius.
No. He's smart, but not a genius.
Genio
nope he is a crazy fucking genius
@Cobb Knobbler lol I bet you're a lot of fun at parties
@Cobb Knobbler Jesus fuck, how is it possible for one person to suck as much as you do?
That guitar!!! It makes them The White Stripes
+Chad Huber and by Meg's unique drumming-sound/style.
I watched jack encourage his son to step on it ect
Mr.Burns-On_Acid it’s bolted together and when set up these guitars are far from crap
I love how Jack doesn't play in any specific key, just an old Rusty keys he found in the woods. Love it.
Show me two musicians that can bring this energy to a stadium? It’s a feat.
Black Keys could do it until they upscaled
First of all, I know we weren't supposed to comment on Meg, but I must say, she's my most favourite non-Swedish drummer. Her presence and attitude is awesome. She's so primal, and in difference to so many other drummers, she actually PLAYS her instrument, instead of just keeping the beat up. Much love for her.
2:37 by far the best part lol
Chillwand77 Gaming hhahahhahahaha
2:49 too the chicks showed dem titties
Hail the God of MLG: Snoop Dogg: Son of Illuminati Her Bf is pissed off rn
Can't believe I forgot about this gem of a song. Gonna be listening to this now for weeks.
5 years after I first watched this and I still get goosebumps.
Is Jack White gifted or what? Genius.
Eric Bush dude, all of that shit is an understatement. HE IS A GOD.
Eric Barger lol what?
No
He’s THE SHIT
That song is like boss fight at the and of game ....
bruh the riff is actually one of the most badass riffs ive ever heard. like top 3
I hate all the dumb people who just don`t understand Meg White`s brilliant drum playing!!LOVE Meg White!!!
+cutie fan I've been a drummer for 35 years and this is far from brilliant drumming but with the dumbing down of society I can see how you think so. This is all complete garbage.
+Mike Racine are you serious?? Look at her technique it's fucking flawless!!
+Mike Racine With all due respect, Fuck you.
Lmao, that's a brilliant reply. Did you think of that all by yourself dumbass?
Mike Racine Are you replying to me? Because if so: Dont.
Jack White is easily the most talented musician of our generation.
my favorite song from the white stripes
astonishingly brilliant,full of vibrancy ,life and blood guts and sweat....love it...
A dude with a guitar and a keyboard and his out of time gf on the drums jamming out and kicking ass. This is pure rock n roll.
Such musical prowess from only a duo,huh??Loved them when they were together.
you see the beauty is in their simplistic yet awesome sound 👌🏼
White Stripes concerts were pure chaos.
Beautiful, glorious chaos
I Miss these guys so much. It's a bloody shame we'll never see them in concert, or make a new album ever again.
We need more of this!
This energy is amazing and intense. Amazing sound abd performance.
Every live performance with The White Stripes is like a jam session, I love it!
I love this song live. I saw them in Bakersfield CA but couldn't record
Jack and Meg please make another album!!!
The band broke up 5 years ago
+Benson Wood I know that's why I said please, it would be awesome they are great live
This band has been no longer existing for 5 years ..
2:43 Jack slightly keeps Meg from speeding up. Musically these two were absolutely perfect for each other.
How can you not be impressed by a very loud talented Rock group with only two members.
Only one member, really.
The riff from this was my alarm sound for about a year
Raw and beautiful!
I prefer probably at least 80% of songs I hear live. Hearing the artist play it live and all the changes and raw emotion is what music is all about to me. All a matter of opinion tho. I personally think if you think most songs arent good live, you've got a lot of different bands and music to be listening to.
Facts. This is what it supposed to be, raw emotions splayed out for all to see and feel.
jack: playing a lot of instruments, and running one way to another
Meg: *boing *boing *boing
AWESOME. One of my old favorites.
I was at this festival, little did anyone know this would be the last time they'd play live.It was an unbelieveable experience. They create a sound far greater than many bands, with just the two of them. Anyone who likes this style should check out Black Keys and Archie Bronson Outfit. Wolfmothers first album is a good homage to Led Zep/Hendrix sound.
That riff in the chorus though, just legendary!
I don't know why, but I love the keyboard sounds in that song.
It's because you're smart.
Love this so much. It's probably my favorite White Stripes song. I saw the Raconteurs last night and it was a great show, and it turned electrifying when Jack was up front. Still, it kills me a little bit to know that I never saw him do this, and I guess I never will.
I LOVE THIS HE LITERALLY COULDNT CARE LESS
I'm getting some For Whom the Bell Tolls vibes here with White's guitar
And the composition itself with *Thin single note riff* to *POWER CHORD*
Fuck no
@LowLinK i listen to both of them 🤨
@LowLinK
Why wouldn’t you?
totally
this sounds so much better than any recording of this song I've ever heard
Thank you for the description!
Also; awesome song and performance
Jack White is living proof that anything is possible...awesome performance
0:30
Goodness...that bounce...
+Detman101 I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed them..
Ryan Garcia
I swear, that's the main reason I LOVE watching her play.
They are lovely.
way to objectify her
@2:50 they objectify themselves
this dude is a pro, guitar, drums. and vocal thats raw. I wish I could be that entertaining
God god god that is soooo good...thank you for letting me hear this
2:29 jack using the audience to try to keep meg in tempo
lol
Lmaooo
Whos using who , what can you do ? if you don't like Meg White , well then Fuck you
Props to these two , they Rock !
Just two people making all that music, best rock band/artist to hit Grammy stage
How many things are going on in his head?! Playing his tiny organ while playing guitar and one second later he switches to singing an playing one of the best riffs ever🔥
Perfecto...
Lo mejor... 😘😍
Love it.... Can listen again and again and..... Again
Such a great energy live
So much aggression and passion in this performance, Jack at his best, until the newest album.
i love how they improvise live. especially on the singing i dont like it when artists try to sound like there studio versions.
favourite band
Absolute master of his craft ❤
The amazing energy from a 2 piece band
I'm 90% sure that Jack did about 6 lines of Coke before this
On he 10% chance he didn't, he did 7 lines.
Jack have never done drugs, it’s well documented
Chad Zagunis I’m pretty sure you missed that this was a joke
@@chadzagunis331 I'd say that if I was famous to keep the wolves from the gates.
Every Musician don't do drugs, I'm one of them. Never have, don't plan to, fuck drugs!

Oh, don’t mind me. I’m just here for my daily dose.
i love the sound of the guitar!
I love how he improvises all the time. Its really good
love meg
People bang on about Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, but everyone seems to leave out The Stripes.
Criminally underrated duo.
I miss you guys
They are awesome!
Did he improvise like half the lyrics? This is insane and I love it
Jack was standing at the crossroads.
Awesome song 👌👌
Icky Thump is my jam.

i love this song & white stripes!!!!!
La mejor dupla de toda la historia del rock ❤❤
holy crap... these 2 make the sound a 7 players band would.
Wait... They don't have a bassist?
nah they don't, for some of the songs Jack White will tune his low E and A string down to make it sound more bassy
When they play Seven Nation Army he has his guitar tunned to open A, and in this tuning E and A string are the same as in default tuning.
He doesn't downtune anything for the bass. He just uses an octave pedal on top of some drive to replace a bass player when needed
+Gen WT he tunes to open A for slide and uses the whammy as well
+Kiran Evetts I'm no Jack White expert, so you likely know better than me. But I know for a fact he doesn't downtune the lower strings
rarely do I get goosebumps... good god.
BY FAR my favorite version of this song.
