Also check out Jack Whites cover of Jolene it blew me away and even Dolly Parton sang with him one time after she heard his version it was an awesome blend😍
This was released back when I was 42 ((2003) and it felt .... familiar right away. When I hear it now it's like it belongs with my teenage Rock 'n Roll memories. Definitely an instant classic!
When Jack White was a kid, he misheard "Salvation Army" as "Seven Nation Army," which is how he got the title for this song. White will often take a distinctive phrase he finds interesting and use it as a song title. This song deals with The White Stripes' rising popularity and the negatives that came with it. After White came up with the riff, he devised a storyline in which a protagonist comes into town and all his friends are gossiping about him. "He feels so bad he has to leave town, but you get so lonely you come back," said White. "The song's about gossip. It's about me, Meg (the drummer) and the people we're dating." Seven Nation Army has one of the most famous basslines in music, but it wasn't created with a bass. The White Stripes didn't have a bass player, so Jack White played the riff using a guitar with an octave effect to sound like a bass.
I lived in Detroit back when this came out. The hate from the local Indy and rock groups was real. He couldn’t go anywhere without getting literally bullied. “Sell outs”. They were just jealous of course. When he points to his hand it’s a Michigan thing. “Show me on your hand” is because MI is shaped like a hand, so you can point to where you live on your hand. So he is pointing and calling out Detroit for being haters without naming it. They pretty much had to leave for their safety.
Jack White is literally keeping rock n roll alive. Everything he’s does is intentional but manages to make it seem effortless. He literally has 20 different jobs, starting Third Man Records along with 2 record manufacturing plants in Detroit and Nashville which has created thousands of new jobs, cataloging and preserving tens of thousands of old records and rereleasing them, to building eclectic pieces of furniture. He is 1000% original and yet at his core he’s still a humble working class kid from Detroit.
Jack White is a genius. His guitar style is so unique sounding. Have a listen to him with his other band "The Raconteurs". Specifically "Level", and "Steady as She Goes". Incredible tracks.
Now you need to watch Post Modern Jukebox's take on this song sung by the endlessly sexy singer Haily Reinhardt (think "Creep"). You will LOVE Haily's take on this song. I guarantee you won't get dizzy, but you might breathe a bit harder. 😊
Seven Nation Army has become a very popular tune for sports supporters to chant out during games. I believe it started when supporters of one of the Spanish football clubs (I cannot remember which one but Malaga & Sevilla come to mind) were in a bar in the Netherlands before a game when Seven Nation Army came on the TV. The fans sang along with the riff and reprised the chant during the game. Supporters from other clubs starting to copy and the song became viral across stadiums in Europe.
"Jolene (Live Under Blackpool Lights)" was released as a live single by the White Stripes on November 15, 2004. It's considered to be one of the all-time best covers of Dolly Parton's signature song. The official White Stripes live video is on TH-cam.
The White Stripes, an American rock group consisting of Jack White (guitar, keyboards, piano, vocals) and Meg White (drums, percussion, vocals) were formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1997, a year after they got married. They were a leading group of the 2000s indie rock and garage rock revival. By the time they released their debut album in 1999, Jack and Meg were separated. When they released their second album in 2000, their divorce was finalized. None of this hurt their musical chemistry. Meg was happy to let Jack set the musical direction - he did the songwriting and played most of the instruments while Meg held down the drums (he started out as a drummer and taught Meg how to play). Her unrefined drumming style became a hallmark of their sound and complemented Jack's unruly guitar and vocals very well. There's really no trace of their relationship tribulations in their songs. In fact, they claimed to be brother and sister until an enterprising reporter found their marriage certificate in 2001.
I always thought they started the band the year after they got divorced, not the year after they got married. And had always told people that they were brother and sister so they didn't have to explain that they were married and divorced and still working together.......
@@decolonizeEverywhereAfter dating for a few years, Jack and Meg got married in 1996. Jack Gillis took his wife’s surname, becoming Jack White. The White Stripes formed in Detroit in 1997. Their reputation quickly grew beyond the Michigan underground music scene, and by 1999 they had a record deal that allowed them to make their self-titled debut album. A pillar of the group was their ongoing lie that they were siblings, not a couple. According to Jack White: “When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, ‘Oh, I see…’ When they’re brother and sister, you go, ‘Oh, that’s interesting,’” he said. “You care more about the music, not the relationship-whether they’re trying to save their relationship by being in a band.” It's true that the group had been on the rocks before they properly began. Jack and Meg White secretly divorced in 2000 before they achieved the height of their fame. Jack White assumed that was it for the band and asked some local musicians to play with him at their remaining booked shows. On the day of their first gig, Meg showed up and said that, despite the split, the group should keep going. So they did, giving the world their biggest hits after their romantic relationship was over.
@@stephenstrudwick8095 so they were divorced before anyone had actually heard of the album or the White Stripes, just a couple of months after the album was released. But had already been telling people they were brother and sister prior to that...
@@decolonizeEverywhereIf you're saying the White Stripes formed in 1997, put out their first album in 1999, while tellling people they were brother and sister, then yes. They actually started the White Stripes, got a record deal, and put out their first album in 1999 while they were still married. Jack White did not want their marriage to be a distraction from the music. They became much more famous following the release of their second album. At that point, they had split romantically, and I think they had also finalized their divorce. They continued to tell everyone they were brother and sister because, in my opinion, why complicate things at such a crucial point in the group's career, and most certainly take the emphasis away from their music. Plus this ruse gave Meg more room to become iconic for her primitive drumming style, rather than being viewed as the "Linda McCartney" of the group....
@@stephenstrudwick8095 I'm just saying I thought they were divorced before they put out their first album and it turns out they divorced right after they put out their first album
About 4 years ago, the group Pomplamoose ft. Sarah Dugas merged "Seven Nation Army" with the Eurythmics classic "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)". Their song mashup now has over 40 million views on TH-cam. You should check it out when you have a moment. 🤩
I remember Jack White expressing how anyone can make an epic hit by throwing a bunch of instruments at it, where as his desire with The White Stripes was to try and do that with only two or maximum three instruments at a time.
The White Stripes was a rock band from Detroit, USA. They were one of the best-known representatives of garage rock. The guitarist and singer Jack White and the drummer, percussionist and occasional singer Meg White pretended to be siblings, but were married from September 1996 to March 2000. In earlier music projects, Jack White played drums and only later switched to guitar.
Great soundtrack to roll to. Black Keys and White Stripes play in the background at my gym regularly, and this pace keep you moving but not too fast... intensity is up enough to keep you going.
This guitar riff is really easy and super fun to play so if you are a beginner and looking for a easily recognizable riff to impress grab your axe and learn this. Because it is easy I don't mean that as a criticism to how it sounds.
Wikipedia-John Mulvey of NME described "Seven Nation Army" as a "diatribe against fame". The song's lyrics were inspired by the growing attention received by the White Stripes. According to Jack White, the song tells the story of a person who, upon entering a town, hears its residents gossiping about him and proceeds to leave the town in response. Driven by a sense of loneliness, he ultimately returns. Regarding the song's meaning, White stated, "The song's about gossip. It's about me, Meg and the people we're dating." Maginnis described the lyrics as presenting an "obstinate attitude", citing the opening lines: "I'm gonna fight 'em off / A seven nation army couldn't hold me back / They're gonna rip it off / Taking their time right behind my back".
Y'all may have seen some of my comments, but if not I'll explain it here. I am a former marching band member and boy let me tell you. We played the crap out of this song. I played the sousaphone so I played the bass line which is actually played by the guitar. The sousas would start off the song for the first four measures and then the band would come in. Every time we played this song I got so hype that I would sometimes mess up so this song really is one of the best hype songs.
Check out "Blue Orchid", "We are gunna be friends", "Hello Operator", "Icky Thump", "Cold, Cold Night (Live)", "Dead Leaves and the dirty ground", "Slowly Turning Into You (Live)", "Fell in love with a girl (Live on Jools Holland)" and many other great songs including "Steady as She Goes" by another band of Jack White's called The Raconteurs. My brother and I got to see Jack White live just a couple years ago, and it was hands down one of the best shows I've been to.
I turn down the brightness when people react to it. I found out the hard way it can trip a migraine, which sucks cause I lose vision in my left eye before the pain. I *freakin love* Voice Play's take on it. Now it's just like when we say "From here to Timbuktu" or Been all around from NYC to BFE Oklahoma. ... he's just saying Queen of England to the hounds of hell and everyone in between had heard them (I don't know if Queen Elizabeth really heard them.)
Jack White has HIS sound but his creativity and talent is right there with Ren and Tyler Joseph. Multi instrument, multi genre, amazing talent! Great rabbit hole to jump down!
Please check out some more White Stripes! They're one of my favorite bands, they have so many great songs. I'd highly recommend listening to their song Ball and Biscuit next.
Yes BP!! Cool reaction. When you said you've never heard a voice like his, I had a thought. Billie Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, has exactly that voice. In fact time wise, he probably was heeeaaavily influenced by Corgan. I have a few favourites by the Pumpkins. I would love to see you react to, 'Bullet with butterfly wings'. And my all time favorite,'1979'. I also mention those two because they are two very different songs, that show their range etc. Peace out mate 😁😎👌
Jack is a true student of music! He can name every single Beatles song in just one second. This song was wrote about gossip. It tells the story of someone who enters a town and starts hearing the residents talking about him, so he leaves. But driven by the sense of loneliness, he returns.
Jack also produced a grammy winning album for country music OG queen Loretta Lynn. He's prolifically talented. You should really watch the documentary This Might Get Loud. It features Jack, Edge from U2 and Jimmy Paige. It's great.
Listen to it a few more times at volume # 11 and I'll bet it's definitely Play List material. FYI: this song is played at so many Stadiums it's crazy... and awesome!
Sorry my Englich ist bad .... I am from Germany......Ich bin schon seit der ersten Stunde Reaktion Kanäle dabei und ich habe schon viele Reaktion Kanäle gesehen. Du bist mit großem abstand der Beste von allen. Persönlich { Ich bin 55 Jahre alt } würde ich mit dir ein Bier oder mehr Trinken gehen . Du bist echt ein netter Kerl . Bitte bleib so wie du bist . Schöne grüsse aus Lünen bei Dortmund im Ruhrpott aus Deutscland
I met both them after the ate dinner at place were I lived it was when this came out. and I told them I was thinking go see them they hooked me up with tickets and back stage passes. I went to see them in concert was amazing . all the marching bands in collage play this its awesome
The song is about rumours & gossip. Some say it’s about the rumours about Jack & Meg themselves as they played into the rumours that they were siblings when they were actually a married couple. Btw, the expression is ‘he said, she said’ as it refers to a past conversation, not a current one.
I recently paid more attention to the lyrics of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and now after hearing the ones for Seven Nation Army, realize the have a similar meaning...
Great level of vibe for a two-piece band.I think this song is about how gossip and rumors can drain your confidence. I think 'going to Wichita'(and there is one in Kansas and one in Texas btw)is a reference to getting away from the mainstream ,putting your nose to the grindstone and focusing on your goals. By using you time in that manner, you won't have time to be distracted by other nonimportant things.
Jack White Detroit Born and Raised 🙌Saw him and Renee Zellweger when they were dating walking around Royal Oak. They were listening to street musicians like the rest of us and Rightfully My hubby would Not let me bother them on date night 🥺
First time I heard this I thought I had missed an awesome 70's band. Adding that there is a great guitar documentary featuring John Bonham, The Edge from U2 and Jack what that is great to watch.
That is only photo sensitive epilepsy. I have intractable epilepsy and am totally fine at live concerts or raves. There are countless forms of it. But this song is classic!
I'm holding my position: Check out Steely Dan Hey 19 but even more so the band's lead singer Donald Fagen and his solo album Kamakiriad (there's far more in the album, but I love Snowbound). A 60's/70's/80's rock band with a strong Jazz touch is an easy way to describe Steely Dan (and the solo work of lead singer Donald Fagen who uses more Jazz). Hey 19 is a fair starting point for the band though and odds are very high you've heard it (the song) before.
You should check out the Music Documentary “It Might Get Loud”. Jack White (White Stripes); Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin); the Edge (U2). All phenomenal guitar masters.
Great documentary and I love Jimmy and Jack but The Edge just felt outta place with two dudes who are blues guys at their core in contrast with a dude that loves to play through his effects pedals. And I like U2 but he just looked outta place. Especially when Jimmy and Jack started jamming to “In My Time of Dying”, The Edge looked completely lost. JMO 😊🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
BP, I think it's time for you to watch Fleetwood Mac play their big hit "Tusk". I saw them play it live in concert as the song hit the market. This is another tune with a classic Drumline that I know you will recognize and say out loud, "How did I not know this already?!" 😂 and it's a totally different side of Fleetwood Mac from anything you've ever heard before.
Jack White is an interesting character, and whether you like him or not you have to appreciate his creativity. He became close friends with Loretta Lynn a few years back, and they actually did some work together. You may want to check out Loretta Lynn's video of the song "Portland Oregon" as an example.
The "he say she say" reminds me of Whodini: "Because I don't get involved with he said She said So take my advice and quit while you're ahead Because one day I might not laugh The day your mouth writes the Check your behind can't cash"
If you're into sports, it's an anthem you hear in every stadium/ballpark, B-Ball court in America, etc. Fans do the chorus to the song. You have heard it without realizing what it was from.
They both wore only read and white when performing to look like peppermint candy. They are named after the white stripe on the candy. They are brother and sister.
Please dig in to Jack White! One of those very unique creatures with amazing creativity and talent. Plays many instruments. He has collab'd with a wide variety of artists and he is so talented.
This might be one of the top 3/5 Bands that came out after the year 2000 (and only 2 members). And this is not even close to their best song. Check out "Ball and a Biscuit" Amazing band.
Catch Hell Blues is my Fav White Stripes song. Its not a radio hit, but they DO have quite a few radio hits. I love TWS,.. .but I do have to say, they can be a hit or miss band. Their hits are big hits, but some songs fall under.
It's simple like John Lee Hooker and Iggy Pop's first jams. Both from Detroit, just like Jack White and his drummer ex-wife. As they say, keep it simple, and it's more powerful. Another great reaction ... see you on the flipside... peace ! ✌️
White stripes i can tell we are gonna be friends is mine and my best friend Schmidt song. We are like brother and sister we met in kindergarten I ❤ they're cover of dolly's song Jolene. He has some good solo songs too. He was in the movie cold mountain
I love that song. The riff kicks ass. Another artist did a cover of this that is also amazing. Pistmodern Jukebox ft. Haley Reinhardt. Its so different its like a different song but with the same amazing central riff. Not suggesting you do a reaction unless you want to, but really worth a watch.
Sporting events/venues play this a lot - the crowd will chant "dah, da-dadada-da daa" along with the riff. But this song is more about the vibe than the lyrics. So you could go crazy trying to fully break it down.
Listen to Jack White from the White Stripes in his other band (I think he was in 3 bands at the same time). THE RACONTOURS : NOW THAT YOUR GONE. The lead singer on this song is Brendon Benson. But Jack White sings lead in some of their songs.
The White Stripes are DUO- former husband and wife who got divorced after their first album...but stayed together after- they're from Detroit...and met in a bar where he would read open mic poetry and she bartended
Lazaretto is my favorite song of his . Jack white . I love the entire album . Also , he has been conserving music pretty amazing . I’m not a big fan of musicals without lyrics. But his high ball stepper I think it’s called is one I really like and it has been played more than any other instrumentals by me .
Probably a top ten rock song of all time, and I’m not even a fan. Everything you’d want in a rock song - and taken to the highest possible level. Incredibly powerful song.
If you appreciated this you may like Jack White's project, Black Belles. Jack White himself is not in the project but rather it is a group of four women performing "honky tonk horror". You should check out Black Belles "Charlene" they also performed "Charlene (I'm Over You)" with Stephen Colbert in which Stephen Colbert did lead vocals.
Jack White is in the top 20 of all guitarists of all time. Yeah. He's kind of a good guitarist. And his sister is pretty good on the drums. Check out "Ball and Biscuit".

Interesting as most normies had never even heard of the band before this song.

And now you’re gonna recognize that melody EVERYWHERE - especially at sporting events.
This song gets me psyched for Michigan Wolverines football.
@@bcagz9835this Spartan will disagree 😂 - but the song is like the soundtrack of Detroit sports
Kinda shocked he didn't recognize it immediately.
😆 I heard this first as a stand tune (my boys were in marching band - Go Vols! 🍊😁) and then I heard the original song.
He only listens to the lyrics
Jack White is literally keeping rock n roll alive. Everything he’s does is intentional but manages to make it seem effortless.

This song is now played in almost every sporting stadium in the world, especially at football (soccer) matches in Europe.

I turn down the brightness when people react to it. I found out the hard way it can trip a migraine, which sucks cause I lose vision in my left eye before the pain. I *freakin love* Voice Play's take on it.
Now it's just like when we say "From here to Timbuktu" or Been all around from NYC to BFE Oklahoma. ... he's just saying Queen of England to the hounds of hell and everyone in between had heard them (I don't know if Queen Elizabeth really heard them.)
As said Jolene, Live under Blackpool Lights is an absolute must! Actually, it's more important than that..
Now that you've heard the original, I would recommend the cover done by Voiceplay. Accapella style.
and now: Voiceplay a capella Version, so great... ❤️🔥👍👍👍
Jack White has HIS sound but his creativity and talent is right there with Ren and Tyler Joseph. Multi instrument, multi genre, amazing talent! Great rabbit hole to jump down!
I don't know of another song with a guitar lick for a chorus, or another song where fans SING a guitar lick, at sports stadiums.
8:51 - Jack White is from Detroit and I just noticed that he points to Detroit on his hand map of Michigan.
Another one that I really like is Icky Thump, They just have a very unique sound. This song is one of those instantly recognized songs
Please check out some more White Stripes! They're one of my favorite bands, they have so many great songs. I'd highly recommend listening to their song Ball and Biscuit next.
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground...uf you know, you know.
Sometimes a triangle is just a triangle
He produced Loretta Lynn’s last album. He also did a duet with her that hit the charts. I think it was top 10.
Yes!!! Proud to call them Michigan Made.
I like him in the movie “It might get loud!” Especially at the beginning.
Yes BP!! Cool reaction. When you said you've never heard a voice like his, I had a thought. Billie Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, has exactly that voice. In fact time wise, he probably was heeeaaavily influenced by Corgan. I have a few favourites by the Pumpkins. I would love to see you react to, 'Bullet with butterfly wings'. And my all time favorite,'1979'. I also mention those two because they are two very different songs, that show their range etc. Peace out mate 😁😎👌
Absolute classic. Love it so much.
Nice vid, BP. White Stripes takes me way back!
Also, thanks for making 40 look good. Its rough out there for us sometimes.
Best 2 person husband and wife band ever!
The only one surely
@@personalcheeses8073 No, there must be some others. I'd name EBTG - but they stopped playing as a band because they got married.
Jack is a true student of music! He can name every single Beatles song in just one second.
This song was wrote about gossip. It tells the story of someone who enters a town and starts hearing the residents talking about him, so he leaves. But driven by the sense of loneliness, he returns.
Jack also produced a grammy winning album for country music OG queen Loretta Lynn. He's prolifically talented. You should really watch the documentary This Might Get Loud. It features Jack, Edge from U2 and Jimmy Paige. It's great.
Listen to it a few more times at volume # 11 and I'll bet it's definitely Play List material. FYI: this song is played at so many Stadiums it's crazy... and awesome!
Sorry my Englich ist bad .... I am from Germany......Ich bin schon seit der ersten Stunde Reaktion Kanäle dabei und ich habe schon viele Reaktion Kanäle gesehen. Du bist mit großem abstand der Beste von allen. Persönlich { Ich bin 55 Jahre alt } würde ich mit dir ein Bier oder mehr Trinken gehen . Du bist echt ein netter Kerl . Bitte bleib so wie du bist . Schöne grüsse aus Lünen bei Dortmund im Ruhrpott aus Deutscland
Gell, BP ist echt Spitze. Super ehrlich und immer direkt.
Love the bass line it always gets my head going every time 😂Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
That's not a bass, that's the guitar, just tuned low
I met both them after the ate dinner at place were I lived it was when this came out. and I told them I was thinking go see them they hooked me up with tickets and back stage passes. I went to see them in concert was amazing . all the marching bands in collage play this its awesome
The song is about rumours & gossip. Some say it’s about the rumours about Jack & Meg themselves as they played into the rumours that they were siblings when they were actually a married couple.
Btw, the expression is ‘he said, she said’ as it refers to a past conversation, not a current one.
You picked a good one my friend
You should check out the Voice Play cover of this song.
He should check out all of Voiceplay’s songs.
I recently paid more attention to the lyrics of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and now after hearing the ones for Seven Nation Army, realize the have a similar meaning...
Detroit native
Great level of vibe for a two-piece band.I think this song is about how gossip and rumors can drain your confidence. I think 'going to Wichita'(and there is one in Kansas and one in Texas btw)is a reference to getting away from the mainstream ,putting your nose to the grindstone and focusing on your goals. By using you time in that manner, you won't have time to be distracted by other nonimportant things.
Only one Wichita. If they were referencing Texas it would have been Wichita Falls.
@@kevindean6291 Wichita County TX
@@revaflowers3115 Like I said, one Wichita. They aren't talking about counties....smh.
The Oak Ridge Boys covered this song, 2 or 3 years ago, well worth a listen!
If you haven't heard VoicePlay's acapella version of Seven Nation Army, you really need to listen/react to that one. It is soooooo amazing!
Jack White Detroit Born and Raised 🙌Saw him and Renee Zellweger when they were dating walking around Royal Oak. They were listening to street musicians like the rest of us and Rightfully My hubby would Not let me bother them on date night 🥺
Been waiting for you to do White Stripes!
Guess who also did a badass cover of this song! Haley Reinhart and Post Modern Jukebox. My wife.
❤Yep...a Rock Duo. Two people making all that sound. They are kick ass! Huge stadium song.
First time I heard this I thought I had missed an awesome 70's band. Adding that there is a great guitar documentary featuring John Bonham, The Edge from U2 and Jack what that is great to watch.
That is only photo sensitive epilepsy. I have intractable epilepsy and am totally fine at live concerts or raves.
There are countless forms of it.
But this song is classic!
I'm holding my position: Check out Steely Dan Hey 19 but even more so the band's lead singer Donald Fagen and his solo album Kamakiriad (there's far more in the album, but I love Snowbound). A 60's/70's/80's rock band with a strong Jazz touch is an easy way to describe Steely Dan (and the solo work of lead singer Donald Fagen who uses more Jazz). Hey 19 is a fair starting point for the band though and odds are very high you've heard it (the song) before.
You should check out the Music Documentary “It Might Get Loud”. Jack White (White Stripes); Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin); the Edge (U2). All phenomenal guitar masters.
Great documentary and I love Jimmy and Jack but The Edge just felt outta place with two dudes who are blues guys at their core in contrast with a dude that loves to play through his effects pedals. And I like U2 but he just looked outta place. Especially when Jimmy and Jack started jamming to “In My Time of Dying”, The Edge looked completely lost. JMO 😊🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
BP, I think it's time for you to watch Fleetwood Mac play their big hit "Tusk". I saw them play it live in concert as the song hit the market. This is another tune with a classic Drumline that I know you will recognize and say out loud, "How did I not know this already?!" 😂 and it's a totally different side of Fleetwood Mac from anything you've ever heard before.
Jack White is an interesting character, and whether you like him or not you have to appreciate his creativity.
He became close friends with Loretta Lynn a few years back, and they actually did some work together. You may want to check out Loretta Lynn's video of the song "Portland Oregon" as an example.
The "he say she say" reminds me of Whodini:
"Because I don't get involved with he said
She said
So take my advice and quit while you're ahead
Because one day I might not laugh
The day your mouth writes the
Check your behind can't cash"
2 Cellos did a cover of this song..... fantastic! As with all of their rock covers😄
If you're into sports, it's an anthem you hear in every stadium/ballpark, B-Ball court in America, etc. Fans do the chorus to the song. You have heard it without realizing what it was from.
Jack White produced Loretta Lynns Van Lear Rose in 2004
Jack White writes songs that always made me wonder how nobody else had written them in the previous 40 years....
Jack White produced and sang a little on the album with Loretta Lynn Portland Oregon is 1 of mf favorites
Jack white has so many amazing songs, especially his blue phase
They both wore only read and white when performing to look like peppermint candy. They are named after the white stripe on the candy. They are brother and sister.
Nope......husband and wife
"Rockin 1000" play this and other great rock songs. It is a group of 1000 musicians. Something you must hear. Just gives you good vibes. So cool!!
Please dig in to Jack White! One of those very unique creatures with amazing creativity and talent. Plays many instruments. He has collab'd with a wide variety of artists and he is so talented.
Awesome song
This one always reminds me of Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know? I'd suggest you'd give that one a listen as well.
This might be one of the top 3/5 Bands that came out after the year 2000 (and only 2 members). And this is not even close to their best song. Check out "Ball and a Biscuit" Amazing band.
Maybe even watch it Live. They are just as good Live.
Catch Hell Blues is my Fav White Stripes song.
Its not a radio hit, but they DO have quite a few radio hits. I love TWS,.. .but I do have to say, they can be a hit or miss band. Their hits are big hits, but some songs fall under.
One of my all time favorites!
Must also check out “We’re Going to be Best Friends!
Jack is pne of the busiest people on music.
Jack White (Singer) does a cameo in a comedy film, 'Walk Hard' where he plays Elvis Presley, you can find a clip of it on YT, its hilarious
It's simple like John Lee Hooker and Iggy Pop's first jams. Both from Detroit, just like Jack White and his drummer ex-wife. As they say, keep it simple, and it's more powerful. Another great reaction ... see you on the flipside... peace ! ✌️
White stripes i can tell we are gonna be friends is mine and my best friend Schmidt song. We are like brother and sister we met in kindergarten
I ❤ they're cover of dolly's song Jolene. He has some good solo songs too. He was in the movie cold mountain
My daughter loves the movie Paranorman and they do a song in it called Little Ghost. It is really good.
I love that song. The riff kicks ass. Another artist did a cover of this that is also amazing. Pistmodern Jukebox ft. Haley Reinhardt. Its so different its like a different song but with the same amazing central riff. Not suggesting you do a reaction unless you want to, but really worth a watch.
Sporting events/venues play this a lot - the crowd will chant "dah, da-dadada-da daa" along with the riff.
But this song is more about the vibe than the lyrics. So you could go crazy trying to fully break it down.
Listen to Jack White from the White Stripes in his other band (I think he was in 3 bands at the same time). THE RACONTOURS : NOW THAT YOUR GONE. The lead singer on this song is Brendon Benson. But Jack White sings lead in some of their songs.
The White Stripes are DUO- former husband and wife who got divorced after their first album...but stayed together after- they're from Detroit...and met in a bar where he would read open mic poetry and she bartended
Check out Lazaretto and his cover of U2's Love is Blindness.
His cover of Love is Blindness was used used for the movie The Great Gatsby.
Lazaretto is my favorite song of his . Jack white .
I love the entire album .
Also , he has been conserving music pretty amazing .
I’m not a big fan of musicals without lyrics. But his high ball stepper I think it’s called is one I really like and it has been played more than any other instrumentals by me .
Probably a top ten rock song of all time, and I’m not even a fan. Everything you’d want in a rock song - and taken to the highest possible level. Incredibly powerful song.
Jack White is literally one of the top three guitarist alive. No joke. ❤ excellent to see this here. Thank you’ 😊 🙏🏼
If you appreciated this you may like Jack White's project, Black Belles. Jack White himself is not in the project but rather it is a group of four women performing "honky tonk horror". You should check out Black Belles "Charlene" they also performed "Charlene (I'm Over You)" with Stephen Colbert in which Stephen Colbert did lead vocals.
Jack White is in the top 20 of all guitarists of all time. Yeah. He's kind of a good guitarist. And his sister is pretty good on the drums. Check out "Ball and Biscuit".
❤There is a lot of innuendos in this song. If you know, you know.😊
