[Linkin1122]

[damokles777]

I kinda lika like it:-)

[varjakasutaja]

i don't know why, but i love it.

[08Luke93]

This song's so under-rated!

[chriswhitaker21]

I asked my girl to marry me at this show.He said its beautiful day to get engaged right before this song.trying to find that part of concert on utube

[V2Hovership]

did she say yes

[s2ths2]

my dream is see white stripes alive

[jennfoster]

good dream!

mine was the same until 2007 when I actually got to!!

They'll come back... for sure.

:-)

[s2ths2]

yeahh xD

i hope so !! white stripes is the hope of the music of the future

[whitestripe19]

i was due to see them a couple of years back until meg cancelled.

was so disappointed.

still....seen the raconteurs to make up for it

[willbaird]

still....seen the raconteurs to make up for it

I know whitestripe19 just said that but ditto!

still hope to see the white stripes one day, fingers crossed!!

[TheWatcherPt2]

My interpretation: The song is about an older man restraining himself from starting a relationship with an underaged girl...

but he realizes this after a while...

that the right thing for him to do...

is leave her alone.

[ThePauly1]

ye i think your right there. thats what i felt too

[sraehizzle]

That boy with the crazy hair in the very beginning is my boyfriend!!!

[ronrutherford]

This song is about much more than self confidence..,

[ThousandthSkies]

yes, i think we often feel like a guy in this song. comankid, i guess your description of lyric's meaning is right, but he probably do have other obstacles too, not just his confident. I don't know, maybe jack white could tell us more about that. :)

Anyway, i agree that this song one of the best songs on album and i'd love to see video of it. Maybe soon..

[suckoutthemarrow]

Haha! See the man with the awesome beard & the hat when the video first starts? Yeah, that's my dad.

[XeniaHubris]

Epic. xD

[comankid]

It's about a guy who appear confident at times, cracks a joke, holds a conversation with people. But inwardly, has no self confidence, is convinced the next joke he tells wont be funny, and the next story not interesting. He's aware of his own insecurity. He admits to himself that it is a lame way to live. But it's who he is. He thinks no girl would understand. He doesn't want her to have to deal with a lame guy like him when she could be having fun with the confident guys he wishes he could be.

[willbaird]

Is it fuck!

how old are you? just checked, 21 eh.... come back in several years time mate, with a few failed relationships under yer belt, and then you'll understand what the songs about, lol!!!

[willbaird]

been back and fourth with his jive ass many times. !?

what you mean?

[omeganudeln]

awesome!

[popatire23]

this is just such a beautiful song!

[nivek0270]

i love how much raunchyness he gets outa "rita" or how ever he spells it

[mangobiter]

mr orgasmic

[JiS01]

Best song on the album

[jackwrocks]

its cool how he says "im beginnin to like u"

[jackwrocks]

i absolutely adore this song!

[Irandal]

One of my favourite songs of this wonderful band.

PS: Yes to all : Meg White is Sexy :D

[00sideshowfreak00]

i dedicated this to girlfriend she loved it!!!!

[holyjoe7]

ummm, you do know that this song is about ending a relationship because the narrator is so insecure with himself...or at least that how i hear it

[holysab7]

lol

[dearestvictor]

I cried at the end. Haha.

[s2ths2]

Jack cry in the end?

Jack is genious of blues!

[ElliecopterYo]

Brilliant. I think this is my favourite song from the album.

[PhoenixRising235]

Jack said he wouldn't mind if the stripes never reformed, it's up to meg. So I really wish all these pricks would get off her back. They get so much bullshit satisfaction from what? Making nasty comments about someone who's actually achieved something bigger then themselves? So sad. Meg, I want to have your baby; we'll name it 'beatbox'.

[FantasyTestDrive]

i know. what a sad life with no better way to spend their time envying someone whos much better than themselves with far more talent.

[XDOscaR]

Meg is the most amazing chick i have ever seen play the drums. dam its just so freaking sexy

[XDOscaR]

Meg is the most amazing chick i have ever seen play the drums. dam its just so freaking sexy

[tataoine]

They are really good .

[killersbones]

beautiful

[JiS01]

Wow, what an ending!!! I felt in to my bones!!

[davidrivers3492]

na, catch hell blues is a genius guitar track

[azarimanka]

the best song on the album is Icky Thump.

[BasketballSweaty]

effect and cause

martyr

rag and bone

are probably my best tracks from icky thump but the riff in slowly turning and the vocals on little cream soda are fucking great

theres my mini review. peace

[wootoodoo]

nono the battle at st andrew is definitely the weakest track

[russelgman]

i swear to god im not emo, but i honestly felt like crying when he was singing acapella

[JiS01]

They 2nd best song of the album, right after 'Slowly turning into you'! WHITE STRIPES-FAN FOREVER!!

[ringostrat1]

I was there! Best show at Roo that year, but then again I'm being biased about that bc the Stripes are my favorite band.

[ozzdan21]

good song

[xandernijsten]

can someone reupload ball and biscuit from the same gig?

[popatire23]

i'm lovin te acoustic!!

[1950sRedAirliner]

It's a custom Gretsch, you can tell by the headstock design and the strange sound-hole.

[sarkansarkan]

agree, Icky Thump is GREAT. But I like GBMS too, tho it is a little boring. But they made it when Jack was depressed and they hadn't moved to Nashville yet. He was a lot happier when he was making Icky Thump.

Gooood God, Meg is sexy again...

[zerowhitestripes]

is this from bonaroo 07?

[diarahmen]

Yeah

[thegirlwholovesmusic]

i was that girl once. but I was only 5'10"

[heartxglass]

I was at this show they killed it went in not as a white stripes fan left lovin them

[zowi1rawr]

this song ... makes me wanna cry </3

i'm 15 and he was 25

how old ss jack? i wonder if he just made up the sing or based it on something....

niño gomita en verdad que te adoro te extraño un millon y se que jamas vamos a estar juntos y no sabes cuanto daño me hiciste pero se que no era tu intencion. espero que ests bien y que vaya todo bien con ella...

[bloodychopper]

Idk. i love white blood cells, elephant, and icky thump a whole lot. the old only album from them that i didnt like ALL the songs was get behind me satan.

[awesomeluciano78]

yah that was their worst one...but i like their earlier stuff better....like dij stilj

[junpham]

seriously?

Satan was basically the essence of the white stripes: stripped down, blues driven, soulful rock. Generally, if you were a fan before Elephant, you would have loved GBMS.

[anonnemus]

the lyrics to this song are really touching...the speaker made a sad and serious and sacrifice

[emilythestrangest123]

i was talking to jack in a night club called the golden something carn't rember the name about a year ago but he is the nicest person i have ever meet i think he was a bit drunk though lol

[AliceUnrequited]

The Golden Dublon, or something of that nature.

[julesboy777]

This is Amazing live... :|

[o0whitestripes0o]

singing isnt strongest in this, he looks knackered!

[kaiser5689]

yeah the movies WAlk Hard.. i think i want to see it a little :P

[HeartArrow33]

the way the light hits him is just like true love :D lol

[HeartArrow33]

thats the trailer for walk hard. jack is a great elvis! haha! and he freakin sure rocks this song!

[kaiser5689]

i was at the theatre yesterday and i think is aw jack white ina movie.. like i forgot what movie it was but there was a scene wehhere i thnnk jack like karate chops some guys lol

[LizardKing1251]

yeah! the one where he plays Elvis, huh? I thought I saw him, too! it's a music one, I can't remember the name of it.

[ConcorX]

Walk hard

[nirvana7782]

why are we arguing like this? why cant we just say that jack white kicks ass and that all of the white stripes albums are amazing? hmmm?

[lkjuzt]

every stripes album is great and this is one of the best albums of the last years compared to what other bands produced.

[xeshtaed]

Icky thump was a really good album, in my opinion. This is one of my favourite songs off the album, very catchy.

The White Stripes are awesome. <3

[kaiser5689]

your right tish song is catchy, i havent heard the whole album yet so i cant judge the al;bum but hopefully its not as bad as they say it is

[nirvana7782]

the album isnt bad at all..none of them are

[xaniarias]

Icky Thump is one of their best albums... I can safely say I can put it on and not feel like skipping any of the songs... 

Probly the worst song on the album is "Conquest" and that wasn't written by jack, tho it is still a great song..

[1950sRedAirliner]

Are you kidding me Conquest was one of their best.

The Stripes make any cover, or most anyways, great, Walking with a Ghost, Death Letter etc.

[theshakl]

ha yeah dude Conquest really is one of the best...

[xaniarias]

Hey I like Conquest too, I was just saying that in my opinion it was the worst song on the album.. I still like the song and listen to it, my main point was just that I never have to skip any song on the album when listening since every song is so darn awesome......

Just in my opinion the least awesome song was that.. lol

[theshakl]

ha yeh well we all got different tastes but i'm surprised you feel Conquest is one of the weakest.

but to each their own =)

[antimizer]

icky thump was the worst, i have all the almbums and it was moregood songs or the others

[zephed69]

Icky Thump sucks compared to every other album especially white blood cells

[Djrog00]

yeah not really

[TNAproductions]

Are you kidding me? This is probably their second or third best album. 'Get Behind Me Satan' was the worst.

[Grinlord]

yeah. Get Behind Me Satan was the worst, but it still had some great songs on it.

I thought Icky Thump was fantastic.

[SnowWhite0nCrack]

One of my favourite songs from icky thump.love their music and i hope they´ll come to germany maybe this year...would be great <3

[Tweasle]

Yer best band in the world! '

One of my new fav WS songs ;-)

[goneblogging87]

[alfinho04]

[twojarslave]

top 5 white stripes songs

[JiS01]

WE WANT U BACK IN BELGIUM GUYS!! love the song!

[inthewetsand]

i like how he didnt go too crazy with his voice like he tends to do while hes preforming his less extreme songs like this one

[Grinlord]

anybody else love how Jack ballroom dances with his guitar?

this is my new favorite stripes song. I love how they always sound so good live. a lot of people sound good on the album, but suck live. the stripes really bring it, and it still feels spontaneous, but good!

[moonthloon78]

I freakin love this!! it's sweet how distorts his acoustic!!RITA!!!!

:) B.V.C

[Grinlord]

This may be one of the greatest Stripe's song ever... This is a great performance. Thank you for posting! I like how they always seem to improvise a little in performances, so it's not a carbon copy of the album.

[bovedue]

solid trackkkk...

[ilovethepeppers93]

i love this song so much!!!!!!

[spy13]

this is such a good song, but i like the studio version better. But this is probally one of first few times they've played it. And i think he should use an electric for this song too!

[Grinlord]

This song is awesome... I think it works great on both electic and acoustic.

[teddybearboy74]

this is my fav song from the album!!

[ludojuin]

I <3 this song !

[irishmandan123]

Great song...judgeing by the people in the audience it looks like it was at a trailer park though haha

[pissedagain]
