    -------------------------------
    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.

      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.

      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. RHCP for example, Flea on Bass one of the best bassists of all time arguably but wouldn't probably have gone as a far without the super star talent that makes up the rest of the band.

      Ringo is a different story, if we remove the romantic idea of what he played and who he played with, technically he was an average drummer imho but a drummer and played great with the songs.
      Meg on the other side is what a year top of drums lessons give to you, she's not even on the scale for professional drummers.

    This is seriously awesome content that you’re making here. Seriously, keep it up. You keep showing up in my recommended feed and I’ve been impressed with each video you put out, so I finally subscribed.
    I normally hate suggesting things for content creators to do videos on, but if you ever run out of ideas, I think it could be cool if you made a video looking into Foster the People and the controversy of the subject matter of Pumped Up Kicks. It seems like it could be topical.

      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
