  • grrrrr ... did 16:9 decent quality video not exist a few years ago?

  • probably the sloppiest guitar player ever, but i think thats the appeal haha

  • Somebody get this man a guitar tech...

  • Seriously ? Are we so closed minded that we can't accept that there are many great guitarists all great in their own way ? I've never heard a bad guitarist that had his own style. SRV cleaned up Hendrix style and expanded on it. Hendrix was an innovator. Not a great technical guitarist. But music as we know it would not be the same without him. For my money there is not a better guitarist or performer than Stevie. But it's not all my money. It's all good. Love the music.

  • @garrisongenerators thats the same way i feel. jimi was an innovator. made technical mistakes on the guitar but to be honest i liked the little mistakes

  • does anybody else think that his solo at 1:31 actually sounds alot better when he alternates back and forth from rhythm to lead? I personally think that it sounds cooler here than it does in the cd recording, but that's just me. Does anybody agree with me?

  • @jigpicture7 dude open your mind it's not all just about guitar skills

  • @DirkSquiglar your right. he is an excelent guitarist and song writer. i love this song. one of the best song from our time but to say no one has ever touched him as a guitarist which was what he was referring to is a little over the top. his statement was purely on guitar skills

  • @DirkSquiglar also i am very open minded. i like good music. no matter what genre of music it is. good music is good music. some of my favorite songs are simple songs

  • He reminds me so much of the Guy Fawkes mask.

  • ! Fantastic ! Ha ! HA !!! !! ! !

  • Can't stop watching this... just magnificent!

  • Jack is the Ultimate Coolness!!

  • Jack White is one of the modern day geniuses. A legend before anyone realises he is. WOW.

  • I would actually love the White Stripes if it wasn't for Meg.

    She just makes me cringe as a drummer.

  • Best facial hair ever

  • To life, love and loot

  • @achilleswhite that's what they said they said about Clapton then Hendrix came along but I think we're still waiting for someone to top white no one has.

  • @adam1othman no one has topped white?!!!!! umm have you ever heard of stevie ray vaughn?! nobody has topped him and don't know if they ever will.

  • @jigpitcher7 Hendrix? Page? BBKing? No denying that stevie is amazing, but I think that jack is equal to him, just for different reasons.

  • @LoudnProud42 here's the thing. stevie could of taken BB's,pages, and hendrix styles and play them better then they could. jack would probably slap you if he read your comment. not taking anything from these great guitarists but no one could touch SRV. BB would tell you that himself

  • @LoudnProud42 and stevie would of slapped me for saying that lol

  • Shhh... just listen...

    Jack White is God

  • 2:22 smokestack lightning!!! hell yea!:D

  • Comment removed

  • its sad that we have two excellent bands like The White Stripes and The Black Keys, yet people gotta make it into a "this one is better" argument. Grow up asswipes.

  • If ya like two-piece minimalist-bluesrock, check out Tweak Bird. Love this song anyway. Cheers mates!

  • 156 people don't like the mustache

  • rock and roll will never die

    narada.bandcamp.com

  • Music grown from the soil of hunger, need, and desperation.

  • I'm convinced Jack White has either sold his soul or has become possessed by Robert Johnson.

  • white stripes love u come back plz to much record company produced music these days

  • A toy guitar for a toy guitar player! What's with the Halloween getup? This guy (Jack) is demented!

  • @70sforever1 yes! demented, he probably would take that as a compliment.

  • TOPS.X

  • @MrJimc2 go troll somewhere else.

  • I hate when people say Meg sucks at drumming. Not everyone can play a beat believe it or not. She has stage presence, and the simple beats she plays leaves room for Jack to improvise. 2:05-2:50 for example. Mitch Mitchell did the same thing, but he was an educated and professional drummer. She isn't.

  • After kurt cobain died five years later god gave us Jack White. The last true rockstar alive

  • @Butown maybe not the last... let's wait and see what the future brings...

  • @Piitschii no need to wait any amount of time..God also gave us Dan Auerbach

  • @Butown I'm quite sure God didn't give us Jack White. As a matter of fact, it is abundantly disrespectful to mention the two in the same paragraph. I can only offer my professional opinion: This is wasted flesh!

  • @MrJimc2 - couldn't agree more!

  • I can hear that the time he spent with the Zeppelin men has had a little influence, well, OK to that.

  • Jack white please you don't need a drummer

  • From 1:35 mother of god...

  • hmm. heard this at the coffeeshop, sounded as Blues but then rocklike

  • Probably my favorite White Stripes tune. I wanna be Jack White when I grow up. I want to play guitar just half of what he does. So, fricken original.Was not good news when I heard they broke

  • That sound 4:01 - 4:03.. It's imposible

  • Best two piece band of all time, and I'm from Akron,OH so what does that tell you.

  • @MrAlexmillion look into quasi

  • @MrAlexmillion That's pretty neck and neck man. Lol

  • @MrAlexmillion Hey that's where the Black Keys are from :)

  • @MrAlexmillion it tells me the black keys should suck jack whites black cock

  • @MrAlexmillion Tells me you're from a Midwestern shithole-I'm from Dayton.-West Carrolton

  • @MrAlexmillion Im from Detroit, and I'll tell you that I like the Black Keys better

  • @MrAlexmillion that you somehow haven't listened to The Black Keys... Meg is a shitty drummer... This is a one and a half piece band... Jack white is better than both of the keys combined... Meg brings him way down though...

  • @aphotosyntheticworld get the hell out of here... they both compliment each other. And he wanted a drummer exactly like Meg - she was and still is perfect for the band. Just because she isn't Neal Pert and popping out 3 billion beats a second with laser like precision doesn't make her a terrible drummer.

  • @aphotosyntheticworld Yeah megs a bad drummer but she's not holding Jack back

    He's a blues guitarist it's not like he has to play his solos in 7/8

  • @MrAlexmillion agreed, but black keys are right up there

  • @MrAlexmillion it tells me you have never heard of The Black Keys :P

  • @MrAlexmillion You must have a really shitty sense of music. The Black Keys are 10x the the band the White Stripes are. Meg White can't even drum. She literally does the same drumming for 4 albums.

  • @MrAlexmillion Nothing at all.

  • The only man that can make a red clump with a neck sound amazing.

  • Jack is a Guy Fawkes mask cone to life here....

  • I love the White Stripes, but it's a major stretch to call Jack "one of the greatest guitar players ever". I don't care what a Rolling Stone list says. He plays a mean blues guitar, but so do many people.

  • Jack owns blues guitar

  • 4:45 The hat just couldn't handle the awesomeness anymore. It no longer felt worthy to rest upon Jack's head and dutifully vacated the premises.

  • john mayer has nothing on jack

  • This is so cool. The blues in its most basic form. Awesome!

  • @exodus22482 hey, don't hate on Tom Morello. You can't compare the two musicians because their styles are polar opposites. They are my 2 favorite guitarists too.

  • Jack once said in an interview that the first time he jammed with Meg she had never played drums before and he loved the primitive feel and wanted to keep it that way.

  • That hat was holding him back the whole time!

  • is it the takeoff, the landingstrip, or just the runway NMW its a screaching 21st century aircraft a foot tapper little buddy below ha ha pound it and take your sweet little time about it ...

  • wow! hard blues?

  • Meg fuckin sucks so bad. It makes me sick that these guys are some what famous. What am I doing wrong?

  • @brkylnzoo it turns out you don't drum for jack white

  • @brkylnzoo hating when you could be practicing?

  • @brkylnzoo its not even really the skill that matters, it's the song writing. Kurt Cobain wrote amazing songs but he wasn't exactly a technical player.

  • @brkylnzoo Do you have boobs?

  • @brkylnzoo They're not somewhat famous, they're legendary. Poor choice of words sir. Can you pull solos that good out your a**? Because you definitely talk out of it. Jack White is known as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, go pick up a copy of Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists. And why you're at it, watch 'It Might Get Loud', the Edge and Jimmy Page seem to like him enough to pull him in and study his playing. Unless they're not important to music either.

  • Go, Meg!!

  • Oh hello 240p, haven't seen you in a while.

  • Your move, heavy metal.

  • Gotta risk it for the biscuit! Not sure about the ball though.

  • just wow!

  • @NapoleonLenker. Once again the guy isn't in one of the biggest bands in the world cause he sucks. He isn't up on stage with Jack and Jimmy cause he sucks. He isn't in the movie cause he sucks... I'm sure they could have used many other guitarists instead of The Edge but the same could be said about White and Page.

  • @gwildorr no sir u are not. i played air guitar and hurt my fuckin leg twice to this recently. And i play guitar and never get hurt. put this on and i'll pull a hammy. lmao!

  • great guitarist Enough said.hats off to you brother

  • kinda sounds like zepplin

  • @santanaincubus- may have been the editing but I thought JW looked pretty awestruck when JP started playing Whole lotta love.

  • Dude White Stripes singing Yeah Yeah Yeahs!! HYES.

  • Vh1 executive: "So we're going to have you play it just like it is on the album because that's what people expect."

    Jack White: "But I'm Jack White..."

    Vh1 executive: "Oh, yeah. Sorry. Never mind."

  • Sick

  • Love this song.

  • Where is the HD when you need it?

  • @Iruga14 this is so fucking awesome that 360p is super clear

  • Jack White is the musician Tom Morello tries to be.

  • @exodus22482 tom morello is garbage so is the edge. they use electronic tricks, meanwhile jack actually has skill. lol

  • @lemans24fan you do realize tom morello uses some of the exact same effects as Jack right ? Speaking mainly the digitech whammy of course.

  • @exodus22482 I am a huge Jack White fan, but I disagree with your comment. Tom is a fucking badass, another legend if you ask me.

  • i think i just soiled my britches, wow does jack bring it .

  • @falexarzan. Cause he's a great guitarist. Why wouldn't he be in it? He has done more with a guitar than most guitarists can do. I'm not saying most popular is best but you aren't in one of the biggest bands in the world cause you can't play guitar well. He doesn't shred or have riffs or have memorable solo's. Simply put he he creates a sound with his guitar that makes one of the biggest bands ever. Enough said.

  • @Kieranoasis1 he sucks enough said.

  • this is such a sweet version of this song.

  • whenever i play guitar with a hat on my shit falls off..... i dont know how he does it

  • @thebrownchooyi

    Try a hat that fits better

  • why the hell was Edge in it might get loud

  • @falexarzan Well he wasnt such a guitarist, but he did design all those sounds out of the billion pedals. I found that really interesting.

  • Jack White is so sexy.

  • loving the Yeah Yeah Yeah's in there at about 5 minutes.

  • well get clean together? what a fuckin creepy old man...

  • A retarded monkey can play drums better than her. There's not even a ghost note.

  • @macarthur19 it obvously not that she can't play drums better, it's just she doesn't. if you knew a bit about the WS you would know the whole style of the band is being simplistic

  • @MrTacoInc Simplistic? Nice excuse.

  • @macarthur19 So what's yours? Aggressive ignorance?

  • Jack the ripper

  • Am I the only one who played air guitar like a fucking maniac during this song and have to buy new furniture after that?

  • @gwildorr you definitely aren't.

  • @gwildorr dont buy furniture man, buy a freaking guitar

  • This is godlike

  • some dazed and confused in the end :D ...just awesome!

  • It aint blues. It's genious.

  • Around 4:40 is pretty wicked I must say .

    Man , I just love that raw Detroit rust belt sound......

  • I miss them too.

  • I miss the stripes.

  • THIS!!! should have been the album version.

  • @AbioticGibbon the guitar he plays suck balls he said it himself xp its made out of plastic so you get the strange tones wich are perfect for thos MUSIC!!!!

  • he plays bikini kill,awesome

  • what kind of guitar is that. i want one!

  • Something about this beat is just so hot...

  • @EricaLovesPickles everything about it....?

  • Jimi Hendrix would be proud of his legacy...

  • He sounds like a pretty good guitarist. His music does not appeal to me, though...

    Oh well...

  • @Paperhouse81 If The White Stripes isn't working for you, maybe check out his work with The Raconteurs. In fact I like his drumming as much as his guitar playing. Check out his Dead Weather project. I think Jack's a genius, but I get why he doesn't appeal to everyone.

    

  • @cjonesufc I respect him as an artist. But again, to me his voice is rather unusual.

  • @Paperhouse81 yeah it is pretty weird, kind of screechy, id check out the black keys theve got the same blues two-piece vibe but dan auerbach is an amazing singer

  • THIS IS MUSIC! JUST SAY JACK LIVE! BEST SHOW EVER

  • Dat's Right Jack !!!

  • Why is this video getting so many comments all of a sudden ???? I felt like the only one who still listened too The White Stripes before..

  • 152 people are deaf

  • Press 7 to see Jack White turn on beast mode

  • YYYs!!

  • Oh god, i shouldn't have watched this. I'm going to be cleaning the ear jizm out of my hair for a week....

  • Best-fucking-blues-EVER (after Long As I Can See The Light, obviously)

  • Am I the only one who still can't accept that The White Stripes will never tour or make music again?

  • this guy could take that old rusted piece of shit guitar you have in your bed room and undress your mother with it . ...... legit !

  • @sillychops and that about sums it up. nice post

  • Crazy Stuf! Today I'd read about this Digitech Whammy. This guy is something, he puts the in a vortex machine and spit it out.

  • lOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • Does anyone know how he does that shuttering sound at 1:45 ?!

  • @wsayre550 really, really fast playing. I bet he's bearly touching the frets!

  • @wsayre550 its not fast playing, hes using a digitech whammy to octave up the signal of his guitar, thats why its sounds so awesome.

    hope it helps =)

  • @wsayre550 sigh. just looked at the other two comments you got. thats not the case. what he's doing is hitting the strings with his pick, rather than picking them. so that it acts like a slide/[temporary] fret for a split second between the notes that he's playing. the notes between the hits are still going to sound because he's causing a vibration out of the strings, but the silence between notes is replaced with a much radder 'shuttering' sound :) dunno if that makes sense, give it a try

  • @VilleSkateKrewRep Thank you for your comment, this does help, however I dont quite understand... so your saying its essentially a super fast pick slide while playing?

  • @wsayre550 nah.. alright, well when you think about it, a slide is essentially a fret you can move wherever you want. he doesn't actually 'slide' but he does use his pick in a similar manner to a slide. rather than picking the note and cutting off the vibration, he hits the string with the edge of his pick to give it a brief moment of maintaining the note he would be playing up near his picking hand. [sorta like how pick-scrapes work] but also watch his fretting hand too, it helps the sound

  • @VilleSkateKrewRep ok so its pretty much all in the picking hand?, can you explain it in like 2 year old terms for me, lol... srry for all the questions, i just really wanna learn how to do this

  • @wsayre550 tap the string with the edge of your pick a couple of times. you'll probably hear it. its all good :)

  • i see a young much brasher bob dylan

  • Awesome as fuck.

    Should have tuned his guitar though.

  • @0Gudmandsen0 you just cant tune an airline haha

  • @0Gudmandsen0 his guitar is in tune. he just bends the strings in chords/solos to give them a bit more character

  • This is still the greatest video of all time.

  • Still my pump up video...white stripes forever!!!

  • seriously someone with some knowledge post a higher rez vid. i'm your third man

  • 20 years old, always known of TWS but never heard any of their songs... holy shit...

  • this is how modern blues sounds like, thank you jack for keeping the blues coming, certainly a breath of fresh air in the middle of all the pop shit coming out lately

  • 2:22 is the riff in that Viagra commerical

  • @Unreal75 its a song called smokestack lightning

  • nag nag nag technic nag nag nag SCREW YOU!

  • anyone know any cheap guitars that sound similar to jack's airline?

  • @MsLiamz To the best of my knowledge, the Airline was sold to Eastwood and it's a lot more expensive now. It's not just the guitar though. Part of the sound comes from the pedals he uses. You kind of just have to go looking for things like that.

  • @MsLiamz I do know of a very unique brand called Traveler. They are very small guitars with unorthodox designs. They're usually around $300-$400 and they're very fun to play. Hope this helped.
