The White Stripes Jolene

[dsgboba7x]

he is singin the shit outta this song

[dsgboba7x]

wow, they did this justice



[xintheseeyesx]

I found a band that does a wicked cover of this version of Dolly Parton's song. They pay tribute to Jack white's raw emotion. watch?v=QjQA4vCDVyQ

[ScottSkookum]

I have never seen a performance as raw as this.

I get goosebumps.

Every

Damn

Time.

[radguitar1]

I always thought that Jack was just playing around when he came up with the main riff on his own one day; he found that Dolly had already used it and he liked her song so much that he sung it as is, unchanged lyrically, even though it is clearly sung from a female perspective.

[the134a]

look up cool in the dictionary and this is what you will see!

[gadslca]

Don't blame Jolene, blame that motherfucking cheating bastard!

[lilFlysurfer]

Man i wish i was there...

[prazyna61]

Chce White Stripes'ów w Polsce!! :D

[tyeauga]

That sarcastic expression Jack gives the audience after asking about the Be-atles and Blackpool is fracking brilliant!

[MrDoyouknowmyname]

fuck the White stripes !

[notThePiper]

So good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good so good .

[MrRacso9]

White stripes suck. General minus got me here. I seen dolly Parton do this song and seen this shit band so I had to check it out. Complete shot. I'll fuck off now good day.

[rhcphallofame]

@MrRacso9 wait youre talking about the same band that TOTALLY outpreformed that fake old chick who wears 5 pounds of makup man....... your crazy

[Awgez24]

Jack White is making his own band! He is releasing an album called Blunderbuss! Love Interruption is out now!

[johnttz]

Imponujące:D

[jvsciarrino]

fuck yeah

[MrBigw75]

fucking sick!!



[DESTROYER8Q]

Fuck Jolene leave tht man alone! -.-

:D awesome song, second fav cover of this song

[moviemexted]

this sends shivers down my spine

[DNBGuRu]

@moviemexted

Get the DVD its magical.

[scumgod13]

My Gawd that's intense!

[manray24]

This is not even my favorite live version of this song and it still crushes.

[LoudnProud42]

can we all just stop fighting and listen to the song? I've seen elementry school children better behaved.

[giovannababikian]

dude wtf

[GordonFreeman90]

heart-ripping, every time

[steelblue58]

Unexpectedly great. I keep coming back to listen again....

[eugene230694]

Better than original!

[kingnocomply]

hauntingly spiritual edge son

[yesonlymee]

jack sings this song with feelings.

[oncewasblonde1]

i'm not the mushy type, but this is a song that can make me cry.

[maxlcook]

That being said, he shows putting passion in what you are singing can do just as much as the ability to sing well. You're a badass Jack White.

[maxlcook]

Jack does a fantastic job of making the most of his voice. Wasn't gifted with golden vocal chords but he is still able to use what he has and make it fit perfectly with the music. Incredibly talented guy.

[BrokenSound92]

hands down, one of the most amazing covers of all times.

he's fucking awesome.

[MrCblane72]

If you love this, go check out the stuff he did with The Dead Weather. He is such a genius.



[MrCblane72]

The man is a freakin' GOD

[DanteSama10]

fuckin' awesome



[qwerty50826]

NIIICE !

:)

[mafiasefic]

Cholin

[livesforthemusic609]

I personally think when people change the lyrics of a song in a cover, that its fucking retarded...just becuase i like a song that is talkin about a woman loving a man doesnt make me gay.....so even though its a small thing, i value that jack didnt change em...it would sound fuckin stupid if he did.. i mean "please dont take my girl"....just isnt right.

[livesforthemusic609]

at times i hear Terry Reid!!!! JACK!!!!!!! fuckin amazing

[Spikesmomma]

Amazing!



[TheAkmbus]

I'm certainly feeling the energy coming up from the video. However I'm asking myself if that's a positive energy =)

[TheAkmbus]

I am listening and asking myself if this trouble song really a white stripe in my life? =)

[30ehayes]

@valen0011 lol

[bigfatbiffta]

@valen0011 They wern't brother and sister they were married

[cookies2992]

And thats why id have sex with him.

[ASTAROTH13666]

this cover beats all.honestly i can't stand the original song,but this is simply...ORGASMIC!

[Pizuzuzimmer]

Primal.

[thejoeallan]

Why did the band break up

[sarahsix]

@thejoeallan im sure i wouldnt be able to stand my ex-wife either......(in my case it would be husband...but w/e) jack white has other projects hes doing, i know that for sure....you might want to just wikipedia it....

[cfunny100]

JACKS A ROCK GOD CANT DISAGREE



[panagiotis123454]

love this move 3:25



[afroditapunk]

I love this public reaction. At Glastonbury, anybody was singing this song :(

[IaraJordana]

There's nothing wrong with a boy singing this song, here in Brazil we have a AMIZING singer wich create songs with female speaker lyrics

[vatti902]

oh my..... nothin like feelin a beauty.

[fryy81]

jack white is one awesome musician

[YuleNeverKnow]

I'd love to hear Jack White cover Janice Joplin. Imagine him singing Me and Bobby McGee.

[nvapors]

im in the right place at the wrong time??........thats how i feel everyday!

[ChristianRocks666]

@nvapors Hes not the only one..

[nvapors]

@ChristianRocks666 i know...those words have changed my life...

[tewetutu]

badass!



[bottrellmcneill]

I don't see what the big deal with the lyrics is - he sings it with that much passion and meaning that the sex of the singer is totally irrelevant. JW is one of the modern day greats

[Goodlove1983]

Amazing!! I love them so much, when this came out i about died! How badass!!

[stereobread7]

Love that last chord

[TheLord951]

can watch it fo years

[robo77771]

THERE IS NO OTHER TWO PERSON BAND THAT CAN DO THAT

[Morentivo]

@robo77771

there is. ;) johnossi !

[Wyndhamhp]

its on a live album called under blackpool lights

[jamesony]

which album is this song on?

[MrRApisTs]

if only i was a musical genius like this man

[angkahmahn]

this is why i f with jack white, i could marry this guy.

[emspfaery]

@ 2:40 - he plays a random note and he's just like -shrug- I'ma boss

[1nonlySeptember]

I get tears in my eyes and chills all over when I hear Jack sing this song. Anybody else get that? <3 <3

[princenrojb]

@1nonlySeptember yep i do!!



[lateinpg]

@1nonlySeptember every time :)

[ColinBarbaria]

@1nonlySeptember I kinda think he worked himself up to that point also, for that same effect your talkin about right now

[Jallandhara]

@1nonlySeptember Pretty gay. Not going to lie.

[1nonlySeptember]

@Jallandhara Quite the opposite, in my opinion. I believe it shows that he is very comfortable with his sexuality. And anyway, if he is gay or bi-sexual who cares, this song is amazing and he performs it beautifully.

[sillyredeyedmutt]

@1nonlySeptember not saying I agree with them, but I think they were actually saying your comment was gay? Not Jack White :X

[springflower57]

@1nonlySeptember you fucking FAG

[therunningtap]

@springflower57 And what is your religion?

[springflower57]

@therunningtap no religion.. love this song though... but @1nonlySeptember is a fag

[1nonlySeptember]

@springflower57 Boooooooo LMAO!

[beatlemaniac1966]

@springflower57 If expressing is emotion is gay, every genuine artist out there and their fans are flaming homosexuals.

[minledbett]

@1nonlySeptember yep.. to the core.

[tehspy1337]

He uses an octave pedal to make his guitar sound like a bass. He also uses delays and chorus to sound like a rhythm guitar, sometimes.

[scumgod13]

Where's the bassist, under the stage? There is a bass playing.

[pattywood83]

@scumgod13 Nope. No bass. Just one BAD ASS guitar player.

[FlyingNarwhal12]

weird, anyone else notice how this is better than dolly?? lol jack white for freaking president!! lololol

[Fillemon007]

...probably one of the best covers ever!!

Love the passion in Jack white's voice,

it just takes it to a higher level ! !

Thank you so much White stripes ! ! !

[Marilyn1966]

He sounds infuckingcredible!

[slayerT75]

jolenes a hoe...she takes all those men from other men.....bitch

[72nope]

nigger FUCK SHIT....what ever

this is awsome

[Cooki3st]

@skoobadyvr it is a cover, man

[steven8807]

1:42-1:49

Amazing camera angle!

[Marilyn1966]

@steven8807 amazing quality too! :D

[MrCaveman0102]

Incredible !!!

[hammettfcb]

magical



[reddevilkev]

This cover is just fantastic

[jindars]

there are no other artists that could beat jack white in style :)

[blonde9attack]

I guess every woman has once met a "Jolene"...

[MrGetagrip247]

THIS SHITZ IZ RAW!!!!

[88polywog]

Jack White is such a badass that he can cover any song he wants.

[rambamboelie]

i like the original, but i have goosebumps listening to this version, AWESOMEEEEEEEEE

[vkvgirl]

heard it a thousands times and i still get goosebumps!

[rozbourboulithra]

awwwwesomeeeeee

[Niepula]

Wow, this is so awesome!

[indabushwoman]

Hot pants!

[guy1868]

right place, wrong time  that's the truth

[birdcalledhope333]

Jack added so much soul to this song and made it so chillingly beautiful <3

[thelefthandedfreak]

I love Jack whites weird plastic airline guitar, sadly only jack white can pull it off.

[debsylvania]

I'll never tire of this. Jack sings this better than anyone.

[BuzWeaver]

@debsylvania He certainly brings a unique punk flair, but its not better than Dolly's original :-)

[imavampireninja]

The intro impacts me almost as much as the song. Goodness, this is so amazing. I am left breathless by the time this is done. It's beautiful and amazing.

[BIGlongNOW22]

I don't actually think it makes him seem gay. Is that weird?

[0Banjo0]

@BIGlongNOW22 nah

[nonix824]

He's soooo hot!!!



[Barkrutosky]

AWESOME!



[brandy2133]

Yeah the live version is better than recording, but still not like the orignal!

[SuperNingerGinger]

why is he singing about losing his man to jolone. couldn't he change it around to be gerald or something taking his women. really gay if you ask me

[JayJayKeats]

@SuperNingerGinger Unfortunately, no one asked you. Jack wanted to stay true to the original, which I totally respect.

[PunkRockDude1]

@SuperNingerGinger

Ever heard of lesbians..?

[IcyHot311]

@SuperNingerGinger He didn't want to change the song. That doesn't mean he is gay, he is attracted to women. But none of that matters, he's telling a story.

[STimo95]

@SuperNingerGinger

What the hell does it matter that the lyrics right now sounnd as if he is gay, its way better this way then if he would have change the whole song by making it gerald!

and even if Jack was gay, what would it matter, he's still a genius as an artist!

stop being a Homphobic prick

[sheplaysguitar2]

@SuperNingerGinger it's not as simple as changing a "she" to a "he" it's a whole name and several different parts of the lyrics. also "please don't take my man" how would he change that to still rhyme with "can" by the time he changed all that, it would be too much. this wouldn't be an appropriate song to change. i'm a girl and i sing songs with male speaker lyrics. doesn't have anything to do with my sexuality. it's jsut a song. if it were simple though, then yes he would prob have chagned it.

[scumgod13]

@sheplaysguitar2 It would be a completely different piece of work if he changed persons, that is just stupid male bravado thinking it makes someone gay to sing a song. And who the fuck cares what someones sexuality is. Jesus, have we slipped back into the 50's? I know a beautiful girl that covers Knoxville girl and like you she does it as the original. Ope, according to some people she a Goddamn Cookie lickin' lesbo and I will never speak to her again. Because Homosexuality is SOOOO Wrong.

[scumgod13]

@sheplaysguitar2 Sorry that was not aimed at you but to whoever suggested he change the sex.

[sheplaysguitar2]

@scumgod13 haha i got you it's all good. i agree.

[falcons696]

@sheplaysguitar2 actually in an interview he said he liked the song so much that he didnt want to change the lyrics

[ccm800]

@sheplaysguitar2 Why should he and why would he choose to sing the song in the first place....maybe he is not as homophobic or gender oriented as some of his fan base.

[sheplaysguitar2]

@ccm800 i don't really understand your comment or why it's directed to me. i'm clearly not homophobic. i defended him. you must have read my comment wrong..

[brainlessBC]

@SuperNingerGinger Would the song be any less good if he where gay?

[scumgod13]

@SuperNingerGinger Jesus Horse Fuck You gotta be trolling.

[BrounWright]

@SuperNingerGinger It's a cover of a classic. And quite well done too.  Sounds like you might have a few unresolved issues. My advice: Get comfortable with yourself and don't worry about what others are doing, or thinking about you.

[juannabanana]

@SuperNingerGinger I don't know what the big deal is. There are many women performers who cover songs written by male performers like this, but they are never considered gay or lesbian.  Changing the lyrics to this song would just ruin it and Jack White singing it is just plain awesome.

[Dustwander]

aonde foi esse show ?

[truckietrev1]

fucken awesome!!!!!!!!!

[idotributes]

Everytime jack calls"jolene" i get shivers down my spine.

[natureimmortal]

Blackpool, wrong place at anytime of the day...

[NorweskiGlonojad]

DAMN GOD! i love his black-red pants!! where can i buy the same????

[idotributes]

@NorweskiGlonojad you don't buy them you ask jack if you can borrow em.

[utiopi44]

Very Good Voice on wonderfull cords :)

[spiderwebs420]

The White Stripes is the best living band..no doubt about it. those who do not agree, just don't get it

[Grisjka1333]

2056 likes and 24dislikes now thats just sad to see that 24 ppl hasent understood this is the music that is good not like miley cyrus,justin beiber, rihanna etc etc stop with the dislikes and start with teh LIKES!! White Stripes FTW

[isatacobell]

he is sooooo hot....

[Alveezee10]

Live is 1000 times better than studio hands down!

[bluesforblues]

50 years old and focusing more on all sorts of talk radio for the past 10 years so. . .I missed this band. Saw "It might get loud" the other night and wondered who was this Jack White. A search or two later and I am amazed. . . glad to hear this level of soulful power can still be found. Amazing.

[CoolKwstas123]

Wow Jack is tuning a guitar...thats something u dont see everyday :p

[anomistars]

top performace - red stripes, perfect timing and emotion. Great work.

[SamJendo1]

Remarkable.  Two instruments and a voice. Electric.

[0Banjo0]

[taffsnoopy]
