  • nexts generations hardly are gonna accept that something like the white stripes appeared in the world in the middle of this alienator 90's-00's capitalism

  • People who dislike Jack White?! It just makes me reassured that there are still tons of assholes who enjoy recreational hating with no merit! :D

  • Historic performance, plain and simple !

  • Better than sex.

  • the beginning reminds me of "in my time of dying" by led zeppelin

  • Kill 170! :-#

  • MINDBLOWN

  • No no, when we're talking about the White Stripes, it's important to get our praises right to show future generations how much they were loved. So thank you :D

  • 170 peoples listen to Justin

  • Comment removed

  • what I would do to have been there...amazing

  • It is in no way an understatement to say that this is one of the greatest live recordings of any musician floating around on YouTube. No way.

  • @JayMoo8 In no way an understatement? I believe you meant overstatement. :-)

  • @joshlespaul1952 Ah, yes. Yes I did. :S

  • @JayMoo8 Haha, didn't meant to be a dick. Just sayin'.

  • @Stalky24... Death letter is also a sun house record.

  • I think this may be my favorite thing ever

  • By the sixth minute, Jack starts singing a classic blues song "Grinnin' in your face" by Son House. It's Jack's by far favorite song and the reason he fell in love with blues. You can notice no instrument is playing in behind. That is because original track had no instruments either... only hand-clapping into the rhythm.

  • man he plays that with passion, looks good when u find somthing u truely can admitt yourself 2 i'd say hes masterd that particular song good show!

  • I could play better drum beats with a drum stick taped to my dick.

  • @6Slipkn0t6 nobody is interested to hear your drumbeats, we want to hear the white stripes which is a magic phenomena you will never understand, slipknotboy.

  • @6Slipkn0t6

    yeahhhh but nobody would give a sht about your dick doing that or anything else. let us know if you make it big tho, maybe they'll put your drums in a the rock and roll hall of fame next to hers :)

  • @6Slipkn0t6 haha, thats fucking hilarious

  • F U C K I N G A W E S O M E 

  • It should cost $10.00 to watch this video.

  • 6:08

  • BRILLIANT

  • BRILLIANT

    

  • Why don't you idiots stop complaining and just enjoy the song? It must be good, or you wouldn't be here watching now, would you?

  • just found a similar guitar on eBay for 375 bucks! and fuck yes I bought it

  • No disrespect to Jack White, he's a hell of a guitarist and all that, but this is an absolute abortion of a cover.

  • @MrGr1mmy Lol okay.

  • That is a madhouse of a cover.

  • Right here: definition of Rock'n'Roll !!

  • man, that was fucking powerful... and sexy at the same time...

  • rough, pure, untamed, the way music was meant to be.....!!!!

  • Jack White is a goddamn rock and roll hero, same calibur as Page and Hendrix. In 2030, THIS will be classic rock.

  • "the drumming sounds good"

    enough said

  • Meg White....still the best looking metronome around. Love her. :D

  • 166 got a death letter this morning

  • @sikehz Really dude? "166 got a death letter this morning"? No thumps up for you. Nice try.

  • I dont get it? Why the fuck is everyone ripping on Megs drumming? So what if she no Neil Pert!! So what if she plays basic beats that a beginner can play, who cares? People seem to forget that those BOOM, BANG, BOOM, BANG go absolutely perfect with Jack and his amazing skills. Its Jack and Meg that make up the The White Stripes, not, if Jack had a better drummer they would be so much better. No they would not, then they would not be The White Stripes. Haters GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!

  • @TheRadi0clash Exactly. I hate when people say The White Stripes would be better without Meg. It wouldn't even be the same band without Meg. Meg and Jack are both a part of the band's sound. I love Meg.

  • @TheRadi0clash I'm not hating on Meg, "rambofan" was claiming her to be a good drummer which she clearly isn't but I'm not saying that makes her bad for the band. Her "minimalistic" drumming fits with the style. But she is a GOOD drummer in the same way my 8 year old brother is a good drummer, as in they can both keep a basic beat but that's all.

  • Kay

  • he really knows how to sell it. one of the few real rockstars of this generation

  • Megs shit drumming is anoying

  • @Stoeck777 k

  • @TheChessrecords shes better than you otherwise you would be up there

  • @gkelbo That's not how it works...drums arn't even my main instrument and I am better than her. I love the white stripes but you arguing that Meg is a good drummer is like a stevie wonder fan arguing that he has perfect vision

  • @TheChessrecords you have no good argument

  • Comment removed

  • @gkelbo Are you a drummer? no. If you were you wouldn't think that Meg is a good drummer because all she does is play her simple drum beats nothing that a 12 year old beginner couldn't do. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about so just leave it before you get embarrassed.

  • @TheChessrecords Who needs complex drum beats when you make those simple ones sound so fucking amazing?

  • @Rambofan8 Jack it's what is sounding awesome, I doubt you would really wanna sit there and listen to just the drums playing the same thing over and over

  • @TheChessrecords Jack also plays the same thing over and over... except for the amazing solo's. But still, who gives a fuck about her drumming anyways, we come here to remember and savor what is The White Stripes. Meg and Jack made The White Stripes what they are today.

  • @Rambofan8 Jack white made it what it is. Meg is just a pair of tits

  • @TheChessrecords im not going to get embaresed she can play better then me or you

  • @gkelbo Please back up your argument. I mean obviously she can drum better than you because you know nothing about music hence why you think she is a good drummer. Go youtube Neil Peart, Taylor Hawkins, Keith Moon... THEY are all good drummers. You clearly don't understand what I am saying, this song sounds good, the white stripes in general sound good, the drumming sounds good. But it is nothing that anyone who has played drums for over a month could do.

  • @TheChessrecords i know there great drummers. but the white stripes are about simplicity, not the fastest drum beats in the world its all about keeping a simple beat the whole song . that is just her style i mean for hells sake look at her drum kit compared to most drum kits

  • @gkelbo I know that's what I'm saying, the drums work. But it doesn't make her a good drummer because she can play basic beats that just so happen to fit well with the style

  • @TheChessrecords well that means she isnt a bad drummer

  • @gkelbo Is someone a good guitarist because they know 4 chords? hell no.

  • @TheChessrecords Being fast doesn't make you a good drummer, neither does knowing everything about drumming. What makes you good is creating something great out of the things you know. Doesn't matter if it's not a whole lot, it sounds great and it works.

  • @TheChessrecords im tired of arguing with you i can play guitar not like jack white just like you cant drum like meg white

  • Comment removed

  • @TheChessrecords She's not innovative. She plays simple beats but whatever she plays is what Jack adds to. Her playing and his playing match up perfectly. And she watches for his cues like any great drummer would. Jack loves Mitch Mitchell and he did the same thing with Hendrix. She doesn't do it as well as him but it works. Jack said himself, her drumming was like a child banging on stuff. That's what they are. Two children playing in a pigsty of a room. And it sounds great.

  • @Oallright I never argued that the drumming didn't fit dude, I was arguing that she is not a GOOD drummer which is a completely different thing. You would never hire her to be a session musician is pretty much my point

  • @TheChessrecords Right well did you like it or not?

  • @Oallright This song? of course, the original is one of my favorite songs and this is a good cover

  • The answer ... admit it .... Son Volt - Wilco- White Stripes

    the perfect song

  • What concert is this? What's the source of this video... this is amazing.

  • I believe it's open A 1 octave low, boomhauer15

  • @DickWiggler57 Hey, i was about to ask that, thanks anyway, ill try this tuning. :)

  • what tuning is he playing in? open a?

  • Sick

  • There will only ever be one white stripes, such an awesome and unique band

  • Damn, I was looking for the one where meg's boobs bounce when she drums.

  • 5:37

  • Absolute pure greatness. Greatest live performance of all time.

  • I miss you :(

  • @lovepussycat shut up you faggot british person

  • Something about this song. I think the only one I like more by them is Seven Nation Army. Dude is awesome.

  • FASTER!

  • 6:24 has my vote for the most badass thing to ever happen.

  • Quickest 7 minutes of my life

  • i want a Kay Archtop now

  • jack plays better with one hand than i do with two...

  • 0:04 I scream the same way when i listen to the White Stripes

  • I've never heard a chick play drums like Meg does. She's raw and powerful, like a V-Twin harley. I'd take her anyday over some refined sissy-nanny boy drummer.

    Jack is just amazing! Too bad the're not a group anymore, I would have paid to see these two

    in concert!

    As for you, satan666himself, you can fornicate yourself with an iron rod!!!

  • @DickWiggler57 crazy thing is meg didnt even know how to play drums when they started out! they were just messin around and BAM, White Stripes.

    They make me so happy :D

  • this video defines jack white

  • Satan666himself your a dumbass listen to the raconteurs if that answers your question and don't talk "shite" (shit cause were from America) the white stripes are as good as any band can get

  • all this shit about ""The simplicity of the drumming differentiates The White Stripes from other bands.""" yer arse the drummer is shite. end of. ever since ive herd of the white stripes ive always thought how awesome would it be with a drummer who can play and a bassist and a ryth guitar . but hey its works for them!!! dont fix what isnt broken... the drummers still total and utter fucking SHITE. \m/

  • @satan666himself If you think they would be better with a rhythm guitar and a bassist, then the White Stripes are not your thing.

  • @satan666himself But then they would sound nothing like The White Stripes...

  • @satan666himself Raconteurs?

  • I love her simple drumming. It's fine.

  • the drummer gives justice to the song and that's her job it's true that she is not legendary but she's good so listen enjoy and stop complaining please it was an incredible show!

  • brb, buyin a slide.

  • E depois de tudo, eu to aqui denovo.

  • too raw

  • Are there really people on here complaining of Megs drumming? WTF is wrong you? Any man that doesn't find a woman who can play the drums period hot as all get out should probably just chop their dicks off and wear a sundress because you all sound like catty, cockblocking little faggots.

  • White Stripes = too much blues for the average mans ear

  • Comment removed

  • I have honestly watched this video at least 50 times over the past 4 years and it is STILL my all time live performance of any song or band I have ever seen in my entire life. They had a gift, and Jack has such a wonderful stage presence. The two of them were mesmerizing. I love anything Jack White has ever touched musically, but The White Stripes will always have a special place in my heart.

  • @TheJumbleJumble

    I was just about to say something similar to this, but you said it for me. Thanks!

  • say whatever you want about meg white but it takes talent to be able to play along with jack whites crazy style. And she does play basic drum beats....but jack plays basic guitar chords and patterns too. The only thing that matters is that the song is amazing.

  • When he falls to his knees... GOD DAMN

  • I love how Jack white is dead honest about everything. That's an admirable quality.

  • @SinisterBuns what about that time he said meg was his sister, blatant lie.

  • @ThePoohat So people would focus more on the music/band rather than their martial relationship.

  • @SinisterBuns you can afford to be completely honest when you're a rockstar.

  • @SinisterBuns please tell me you're being ironic in saying that?

  • @STOmissionCtrl "see" knows how to spell though ;)

  • Comment on how the drumming is bad or whatever... This video still gives me chills no matter how many times I've seen it.

  • People in the audience got more than their money's worth.

  • I'm always amazed at the people who don't get their sound and comment on Meg's drumming. You've all been hearing too many polished turds for too long. The sloppy sound is what makes it rock and swing. And to any one who thinks Son would be upset with this version I'd have to disagree, I think he'd be flattered.

  • i was listening to a few songs in youtube and playing together in my guitar, but then this song started and i stoped it :D

  • That was amazing!

  • Coulda had a monkey drumming behind Jack and he would make it sound good.

    Instead of a monkey, he used a cavewoman.

    She did just fine.

  • thanx for sharing , cheers

  • Comment removed

  • @AnywhereButHere09 A bar maid who is now got plenty cash and you talking about them.

  • @alaggon You obviously overlooked my first comment saying exactly that.....

  • @AnywhereButHere09 she can play better than you otherwise you would be the drummer so stop bitching because you cant play as good as her

  • @AnywhereButHere09 and you havent made a fortune cause you live in your moms basement eh'

  • Comment removed

  • @AnywhereButHere09 I wouldn't say Meg sucked, I would say that her drumming was unusual, but it sounded good, and her and Jack made some amazing songs with Meg's odd drumming, that's why The White Stripes are so iconic.

  • @AnywhereButHere09 if your moms dead wake her up who is paying your rent. ps tell her charlie watts is looking for her

  • Jack and Meg are like musical soulmates. They just go so well together, you know? This performance is unreal.

  • OMG!!! Amazing

  • all that is rare for the rare

  • Its weird....the lyrics of this song is really sad, yet when jack white sings and beats the mess out of his guitar, Its Freakkinnnn BEAST

  • Shut it up you yank cunt

    Don't need to look nothing up for that

  • How could any of the 162 people "dislike" this performance... What douches

  • Her drumming doesn't need to be good. All focus is on Jack.

  • Meg's out of her league..............

  • @pelliotd She's beyond better than this, but her drumming different would be like having Travis Barker play for Led Zeppelin. No way in hell that would be right.

  • LPC is a DB, he/she apparently doesn't understand shit.

  • Wow, this is amazing. What tuning is this?

  • @MrMegavana knowing jack its probably some fucked up form of A, and nasty slide technique

  • @MrMegavana Open G

  • Wow !

    

  • holey shit this is a amazing cover

  • Oh my God, I think I just heard Son House turning in his grave. He was screaming "You little cocksuckers are butchering a great song" Just because you are vomiting a couple of lines from the song and banging on your guitar like a spastic, does not mean that you are "performing" a rendition Jack. I am so sick of folks nowadays putting out this shit and people buying it.

  • @lovepussycat i think he would be honnored by the fact that one of 50 best guitar players ever is doing something amazing with this song.It's different but really greatly played by jack white.

  • @lovepussycat piss off,its a rock version of it.your making out as if its a crime to make a blues song into a rock song.either that or you are just a pissed off black guy.either way you're a prick.

  • @1984LizardKing Wow, I struck a nerve little buddy. I cannot take any comments seriously from a guy with such an obvious man-crush on Jim Morrison.

  • @lovepussycat nah but it would appear the white stripes doing a cover of this has touched a nerve with you.

    and only you talking about man crushes just makes me think you have repressed faggot tendencies.keep them to yourself,just like your nonsense opinions.

  • @1984LizardKing Holy Shit, Lizard Queen, you sound like Adolf Hitler, wanting to suppress people's opinions. You need to look at your own sexuality and accept that you were born this way and IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. You as a homosexual deserve common human respect as well as us heterosexuals. I do not hold your penchant (look it up) for photos of men without their shirts.

  • @lovepussycat well you cant exactly say im gay cos i have a pic of jim on my profile ya clown.thats like me saying you must be a homo because your name is "lovepussycat" only girls and camp guys love cats.not exactly a manly pet is it? therefore you must be a queer. thats your line of thinking.

    and dont try sound intelligent,it does you no favours.as if the word penchant is only for highly intelligent people.you are a muppet of a boy.

  • @1984LizardKing I understand, you are too thick in the head to realize that "cat" is another word for "vagina", something you have never seen. Oh, wait, you see one every morning when you squat to piss. And we spell " favors" correctly on this side of the pond, you wanker. By the way, I am done with you , you cunt.

  • @lovepussycat ohhhh touched a nerve there eh? so you dont like it when the tables are turned eh? lol twat.

    and you are probably getting squated over by a familly member right now ya redneck cunt,a "favour" where you are from.

  • @1984LizardKing Actually, you are correct Lizard Queen. A family member is squatting on my face, your family member to be exact. Your Mommy is on my mouth right now while your sister is blowing me. Pretty good piece of ass, your Mama.

  • @lovepussycat fuck sake,a "your mamma" at the end eh? the bottom rung of insults and humour lol,turn it in man,you are one banterless bellend.

    shouldnt expect anything else from a toothless redneck sitting on a piss stained sofa in a trailer though.

  • @1984LizardKing I thought you were too stupid to get the last line, and I was correct. "Pretty good piece of ass, your Mama" as in "your Mama is a good piece of ass". Only a dumb cracker such as yourself could misconstrue such a phrase.

  • @lovepussycat do you just wake up every morning and check you youtube arguments?

  • @lovepussycat wait. did you forget you said, "Pretty good piece of ass, your Mama", or something?

  • @JoshuaRFox forgive him,he thought he was finally being clever for once in his life.i was right all along,hes just a pissed off black man.the question is,will he play the race card now? lol

  • @1984LizardKing Shut the fuck up. You went to the lowest common denominator by bringing race into your first comment, I'm pretty sure he just responded to you. There's well-known school of guitarists from the 60s and 70s who actually despise Jack White's playing, it sounds sloppy to their ears - in fact it is a bit sloppy if you listen to Son House's version, but that's part of his style. I like SH's version better, but this ain't as bad as I've heard.

  • Comment removed

  • @lovepussycat you fucking reprobate,obviously i got it.only a fucking braindead moron like you would get confused like that and think i havent.as i said,anything to do with "your mama" is the bottom rung of humour ya fucking weapon of a boy.

    its for the retards and was started by retards.like you.

  • No White Stripes, you can't be gone. We need you too much.

  • Jack owns guitar
