    -------------------------------
    Seven Nation Army has one of the most recognizable riffs of all time. It’s melody has become a global sports anthem. And while it might sound like it’s played on a bass guitar that sound is created by Jack White's semi-acoustic guitar brought down an octave by a guitar pedal. The band never used a bass guitar until the album that followed. And that had to do in part with the band’s obsession with the number three.
    - They only ever used three colours on their album covers, promotional materials and on stage.
    - Their third album was recorded in three days
    - Jack White likes to throw the number onto the end of his name.
    - His record label is Third Man Records
    - He wrote a song for Loretta Lynn that was exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds long…
    Alright I might be stretching it with that last one. But where The Stripe’s rule of three was most evident was in their sound. Since they played as a two-piece on stage, aside from vocals, each of them could only play one instrument at a time. The group would add more elements to their minimalist composition over time, but always came back to rock’s three main ingredients of:
    Guitar, drums and vocals.
    They found liberation in limiting themselves. It forced them to be creative with a small tool kit. And there is a quality in that simplicity. Seven Nation Army has become timeless. There are more people who know the tune than those who even know it’s authors. Making Seven Nation Army The Last Great American Folk Song.

      i understand what you try to say, but i think the verb is "stick", not "change"
      This song didn't "change" anything
      It's not like people transforms, and become less agressive, or less competitive, or anything different. They're still a bunch of drunks on a football match
      If it wasnt this song, they would be just singing another one, but the effect would be the same.
      I guess the song is not a cause, raher an effect
      Don't hate my comment please, i also love to get drunk and submerge into the masses from time to time. And sing stuff that gets us together. It's very human and primal
      And i agree with all your comment, except the "change" part

      Exactly. Some of the best drummers in the world could be considered "primitive" drummers because of their minimalist style: Ringo Starr, Dave Grohl (in Nirvana days), etc. All of them were perfect for the bands they were in, and ego-fuelled drum fills wouldn't have worked with the sound each band was aiming for.

      No no no. She is hot garbage. I will not let her shitty drumming be confused with “raw” or some bs term. Her tempo and lack of independence is so bad that it pulls me out of songs.
      I’m not a guy who requires all songs to have perfect tempo and be in complex time signatures with tons of flash. I’m aware that quantization and DAW’s killed rock. I know that some slack and feel is what makes rock, rock. But you still have to have some competence on the drum set. She lacked any form of dynamic control and ability to flow with Jack’s vocals and guitars.
      There are 8 million other drummers that could have played with a heavier less technically focused style that would complement Jack’s vocals and guitar better.
      Trying to listen to Ball and Biscuit is genuinely painful. Listening to her rush and drag every other measure on a blues riff makes me want to ram my head into a wall. She sucks.

      her drumming being bad is what makes the song sound 'alternative' or 'real'. Every time music gets too polished and manufactured sounding like glam rock, people playing badly with originality, like the punk movement, become popular.

    • @aheinz308
      @aheinz308 2 роки тому +21

      The reason people were giving slack for it wasn't because the music was bad it was because she was going about it all wrong. First of all she was right handed and was trying to play the set like a righty. Second of all she holding sticks with clenched fists which not only will kill the palm of your hand it will also make the drum sound terrible because her clenched fist s prevents her from getting the proper rebound out of the drums. Also when she hits the drums she tends to use her whole arm to do it, which not only terrible for endurance but also terrible for power, articulation and rhythmic precision. When your hitting the drum all the power comes from the wrist, the arms are just the guides. Another thing to note is that when she grips her sticks she always grips it by the bottoms, near the butts of the sticks. You are never supposed to do that because its a fantastic way for you loose your sticks while your playing.
      Yet despite all that she managed to pull it all off and with a bit of guidance and maybe a couple drum lessons I could see her growing into an incredibly talented drummer.

      Lars again isnt the greatest drummer of all time but his style and skill (regardless of level) compliments metallica nicely which is why they got so big. Bands rarely if at all make it to the big leagues off the back of one member each one has to bring something to the table.

      @GREEN GHOST She plays very similarly to Lars Ulrich, the only difference is that Metallica is a band that needs a better drummer. She plays in a way that could cause severe muscle and bone damage, but she doesn't play enough notes for that to be a legitimate concern. If Carter Beauford played with his wrists constantly stressed like she does he would have been forced into retirement by arthritis years ago, she doesn't play with the speed, velocity, or aggression that he plays with, so she likely won't have that problem. She's not good, but she doesn't need to be, because white stripes doesn't need a good drummer. There are so many amazing women drumming out there, she just isn't one of them, same as there being amazing men drumming and Lars not being one of them.

      Middle 8 How about something on the functional/dysfunctional relationship between Pete Doherty and Carl Barat of the Libertines? Co-lead singers and lead guitarists who often duet on their songs, but have had numerous episodes of robbery, violence and drug abuse among each other, only to bury the hatchet and fall back over and over.

      You should do an analysis on why. Nickelback is mostly hated, but at the same time successful and sell out stadiums. I personally think the hate is not justified, considering most of their songs were great, especially their earlier songs like Side of a Bullet, Leader of Men, and Because of You.

    This video is the most accurate report on how the song became a stadium anthem. Moreover, it became the most sang song for AS Roma fans that year, who also made a stadium choreography with its musical notes. It was then AS Roma fans to bring it to 2006 World Cup and let it be the anthem for the Italian National team.

      Actually during the celebration in Rome, Marco Materazzi took the mike ans sang: "Siamo i campioni del mondo" on those notes ;-) Rome said, hey we like it and we know how t properly sing it, so they turned it into a chant.
