The Raconteurs White Light/White Heat Live at VMAS 2006

[louiscfc93]

Proves its not Lous fault that Lulu isnt up to scratch

[CitizenGatsby]

Fuckin' A. That was fantastic.

[flowerdoodle]

I dont get it. Im left confused as to what is good about The Raconteurs; they seemed hyped. I mean, im sure theyre "ok" but its only because the "wonderkid" Jack White is in the band. I think theyre sort of watered down and all image/hype--dont think the songs are strong. Brendan seems like a lame, coffee-house singer/songwrit. Jack is spreading himself too thin and has lost his appeal for me. Hes certainly made a good living and name but i dont think hes at all a genius like hes made out.

[mrhypnagogia]

this gotta be the most badass team up in the history of music

[dancechick007]

holy shit how have i never seen this before. i think my life is now complete

[WillDrache]

00:11 lou's like "...look at these fuckers..haha"

[diedahero]

You know how I know this never really happened? Lou has no sunglasses on.

[steven8807]

At :43, it sounds like he sang "White Stripes--three."

[steven8807]

Holy Crap! Lou and Jack onstage together! That's what's up!

[CAR18MEN]

did they air this??????????

[rockerr12595]

well, that was fucking quick lmao, but hey good things come in small packages

[SatanicMajesty]

Awesome...too bad there is only one minute of video footage captured...

[mrhipfl]

LOL I remember seeing this when it first aired and thinking, wtf! Is that Lou Reed? The whole situation was just perfect: The Godfather of Punk, a legend, playing on the VMA's and nobody had a clue who he was. Something about that just screams "fuck you." In an odd sort of way. You understand what I'm getting at??

[SeanoLasTres]

@mrhipfl yeah the only people who know who the hell Lou Reed is are the Raconteurs and Jack Black, who hosted...I thought the exact same thing.

[ceejay960]

Bet Jack was diggin this! Saw him with the Stones too. He's getting to play with a bunch of legends!

[Danman917]

I love later in the show one of the "VJs" interview Lou Reed and didn't know who he was and asked him stupid questions

[Bananaskunk]

lou has lost it

[redhotchilipepperite]

@Bananaskunk i made an account just to dislike this

[Shredbmx221]

@redhotchilipepperite bahaha hilarious yeah this song sux

[BlueOrpheus1988]

@Bananaskunk he is 69

[AsteroidB312]

i was at the vmas for this but i didn't recognize its importance nor did i realize just who lou reed was until afterwards. DAMN.

[neto4346]

jack white forgot the lyrics of the song at the beggining!!

[SeanoLasTres]

@neto4346 you could also say that Lou Reed is way off on his timing...doesn't matter, still rocks.

[iluvjackwhitemost]

AWESOME!

[mauerbluemchen0]

I think I just died...Jack and Lou onstage together! Lucky bugger, Jack.

[brunirijillo]

what a m*therfuckin' performance.

Lou and those guys hardly kick MTV's ass!!

[thekillers1293]

They should make a Lou Reed signature Fender Telecaster like the one he has in this video or an Epiphone Riviera with a Bigsby tremolo, the guitar he used with the last few years of The Velvet Underground and in the beginning of his solo career. That would be amazing!!!!!!!!

[punkace]

They made a riviera with a bigsby as a Jorma Kaukonen signature- but even more than either of those... Lou Reed Model Gretsch 1964 Country Gentleman with preamp, speed controller, tremolo controller, stereo electronics, & sustainer.

[vlix5]

Best one minute rock clip on youtube ever

[clashman89]

Fantastic!!! and soo cool!!!

never imagine something like that

[diany1]

goooooooodddd!!!!!!!!

[AirHendrix91]

AWESOME!

[neto4346]

jack white get wrong on the first chour...

[dbdeg88]

Wow, I actually for a long time thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if Jack White covered 'White Light/White Heat'?" ('cause of his name and all, and also because it's just an awesome-tacular song and he's an awesome-tacular artist), but I never knew he actually did! This just makes my day!

[TinyFloyd]

the velvet stripes :)

[punkace]

You need a little more than Lou Reed to make it anything Velvet.

[vejelis]

maybe someone know, who's idea was to invite lou at this performance?

[vejelis]

WOW!! i'm so into lou reed (few days ago i got his New York cd), and today, for few hours i was listening raconteurs..and than BANG!! white light/white heat! that's a sign!!:)) loved that!!!!

[solveig1759]

Gosh that was good . What a pity it's not longer

[TulseLuper]

God bless these guys for making an MTV ceremony interesting for once.

[arabianzeppelin]

@TulseLuper Exactly, some honest music on "music television"

[d00derson]

Jack White has got to be the luckiest musician ever. He's played with so many legends. Reed, Stones, Dylan, Townshend, the list goes on.

[heyheymymy78]

It's not luck; he deserves it. These people don't play with wannabes.

[deatheater459]

i agree

[jackson2578]

DUDE!

Amazing gathering of talent.

[Pandemonium44]

Holy crap! Jack Black, Jack White, Lou Reed, Brendan Benson and many other musical geniuses in the same place!!! DAMN!!! AWESOMENESS ON HIGHEST LEVEL!!!

[ZRN959]

JACK BLACK????

[ZRN959]

oh, jack black was hosting

[Pandemonium44]

Exactly :D

[RoboticG]

Oh my god. Lou Reed? I fucking hate you guys. You make me so damn jealous. Keep it up!!!!!!
