@holyturdsofjesus im not a crazy jack white fan. im all about frusciante. but to judge someone based solely on the quality of their voice is absurd. wayne coyne is amazing and he doesnt sing 'well' at all. its all about how much heart and soul someone puts into a song. all music is good if it comes from the heart.
WoW! Hell Yeah! Love The Raconteurs! Been listening to The Raconteurs, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, Sick Puppies, No Doubt, and Blink-182....
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a real cool edge. Plus they've got a cute chick singer :-) .....check em out.....
71 people think this guy is one of the best drummers alive ...and i am SURE none of you even know who Terry Bozzio is ...Thats why Lady Gaga sells out stadiums and the Truely Great musicians have a hard time getting a gig ...Bucha Idiots probably think Meg White is the best drummer ever LOL
@yunwi1 Agreed, Meg can keep ok time but often relies on jack to set the tempo and initiate time changes or changes in general. A REAL drummer does not need such assistance. Its a shame drummers like Donati and Mayer are "too much" for the mainstream.
@misan69goon Meg did rely on Jack to set the tempo, but that was what made the white stripes so good. You always had that feeling that the guitar was driving the song and the drums just rolled on; like the music was barely together in a raw way. It worked beautifully, especially live. Listen to some of the Upholserers. They were ok but with Meg the 2 piece sound is 100x better even though technically she is 100x worse. In the raconteurs she would suck, but PK is perfect. Both good but different.
@EvaNTayloR595 I have actually. Live twice. Patrick was more impressive, switching between classic and contemporary handing on the fly is unbelievably difficult.
@MrMusicfan007 I'm sick of these comments on EVERY video from people who think they are being clever! Things like "Oh haha 12 retarted ppl missed the like button" or "There are 6 drunk people who pressed the wrong button" or "Justin bieber disliked this 324 times lol" are NOT funny. (However I do indeed love the Raconteurs.)
why the hell are we talking about john mayer? he has mad technical skills, but he's a douchebag who makes shitty, boring music. end of story. now let's talk about the raconteurs, please!
i don't know what ya'll are talking about john mayer is the fuckin whizzbang. his old john mayer trio shit was fucking godlike. yeah he's poppy as hell now, and even then had a super poppy voice, but you can't say he isn't one hell of a blues guitarist
I'm an old fart (41), but I'm in total agreement that Jack White is a brilliant artist. Really special. Not the least bit fancy as a musician, but that's part of his charm.
I say they are both great guitarists. Jack White plays faster, while John Mayer is comfortable in a more blues-y type of music. Don't judge so quickly. I've studied both musicians along with many others.
wtf are you talking about? jack white is a blues machine!!! his sound is dirty and heavily distorted (in a cool way) and mayer is also a blues guy, except he is a trained musician, which makes him in a way a purist with a much cleaner sound
How could this song be a cover for a seat??? lol jk i know it is and being the raconteurs they probably could be a seat cover because jack white is jesus!
Okay cee-lo green the vocalist half of gnarls barkley is arapper, he was a rapper when he debued in the goddie mob, on his first two solo cd's (cee-lo green and his perfect imperfections, and cee-lo green is the soul machine) He even rapped a lil on both st. elsewhere and the odd couple so he is arapper just an extremely soulful and talented rapper...Now that that's out of the way the raconteurs are fucking awesome Jack white is brilliant i want to see them live so bad!
Drummers got style. And of course Jack White was great. Does anybody else think that the white stripes can sound pretty shitty when they're live though? It's a great band and all but damn... maybe just in the studio. Raconteurs are great when they're live.
