Flat Duo Jets

[1motorfan1]

Check out amazon mp3 they have like 5 of they're cds for download for only 4.99.

[RiffinCH88]

These two couldn't have found each other by chance. There was something else at work.

[DeathBySitar]

Pretty sure they took a lot of speed before this interview. Rock and roll.

[jehouse]

@DeathBySitar No, Dex was ALWAYS like this!

[myradioon]

White Stripes copped this band big time!!! - esp. the Gothic look. To Jack White's credit he said The Flat Duo Jets had only two members way before them on Charley Rose.

This band was the Real Deal.

[HannesGlans]

The one who disliked this video plays the bass.

[theflorgeormix]

BAr B que Killers, Pylon, and Flat Duo Jets - the emotion that exists in Athens for artistry was and is Truely special

[DraggDaddy]

The Energy and the Love for playing it SHINES...it blows me away no matter how many times I watch it.

[ratstompmusic]

this is an awesome band!

[J3ss70]

Much love

[auggie87]

What's the song they are playing with the acoustic guitar?

[theflorgeormix]

Have seen these guys Multiple times (4)...the Music scene in Athens Georgia in the Eighties was atmospheric, count myself so lucky...all kinds of students loved it, and we were very proud to be in a town and school that produced REM

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

whats the song they play acoustically after they talk about their cheap equipment

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

This is the greatest thing on the internet!!

[soupy2]

the singer kinda looks like that scottish actor Ewan McGregor

[PersistenceMusic]

They were doing this back when few thought it was worth it. Which i love because you gotta love something to embrace it despite of its popularity or lack thereof. ;)

[HannesGlans]

Seriously.

I need to learn how to play those licks/chords/whatnot.

It's one of the coolest things I've ever heard..! <3<3

[bobdylan4evr]

whats they song they're playing before they say fuck that shit lets play a rocker

[dirtycoffee22]

the original jack white!

[CamPulaski]

What kind of electric guitar is he playing?

[Spoc1012]

@CamPulaski I believe its a 1966 silver tone guitar.

[vandelno]

@Spoc1012 i was going to buy one but it smelled like cigarettes

[101Volts]

@CamPulaski Danelectro (Silvertone branded) 1448. It was a department store guitar back in the 60s, Even now they go for about $400 - Vintage models - But they don't seem bad, Not that I've played one.

[4eyessss]

@jude999 go fuck yourself jack is a god in the music world. Not that many people can say they have done half of what jack has done

[4eyessss]

Ha there fucking crazy

[Nisp4]

Anyone know where I can find the documentary "two headed cow" on the flat duo jets? I've been looking for it but I cant find it for the life of me.

Dex is a god btw.

[HannesGlans]

pause at 1:27

Dex<3

[HannesGlans]

How did you get this footage?

Is there a whole movie of this or?!

I NEED TO HAVE IT, THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

[theflorgeormix]

@HannesGlans The Movie: Athens Georgia Inside Out - Filmed in 1986 - various artists and personalities

[theflorgeormix]

No one really knows what down with Dex & Crow to break 'em up, but you can be really close to persons and then its over, for each others own personal growth in some cases

[treetoptop]

My dream is for Dex and Crow to make up, reform Flat Duo Jets, and shake up this current lame music world like never before.

[jmazz303]

@jude999 really? Who else is putting out quality music these days?

Jack and Dex have different styles, but they both respect each other, which is cool as shit. I hardly think Jack's success had anything to do with Meg, really. He's proven himself as an all around musician.

[jiggscasey1]

ha! I remember when they used to play the Uptown. crazy good stuff.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

This is called "Jet Tone Boogie". This is REAL fucking Rock & Roll folks. The GENUINE article!

[hugo1968]

Jack White is the new Dexter, with the whole school of this great guy

Dexter is awesome with great power

[hugo1968]

Jack White is the new Dexter, with the whole school of this great guy

Dexter is awesome with great power

[jude999]

@hugo1968 Jack White is a poor imitation. Give it to having a hot girl drummer as to why the White Stripes ever became popular.

[littlequeen64]

I love you Dex......from a R&R devotee.......

[laserchunk]

wtf with the end?

[mishzeus]

This is from the documentary, "Athens, GA Inside Out"

[solamande]

Dexter Romweber is alive and still kickin' out the jams. His sister, Sara, is beating the holy snot out of the drums these days, and she's a lot better looking than Crow. Google search Dexter Romweber for more...

[milfrie]

i love them! just saw them in that movie "It Might Get Loud"

[bruisesandcandy]

Not many people now the 80's like this...just great

[treetoptop]

Those two had a bigger sound that most bands with 5 players. The guitar tone is ferocious and the drums are thunderous, awesome fills. I could listen to them jam all day.

[ickythumper99]

is this like on a dvd or somethin'? if not, do you have any more?? it's awesome stuff

[Barracuda007]

i can't see, is the crowd dancing at the start of the vid? they better be!

[CFFDan]

Where the fuck did these guys go? This shit is awesome.

[shanegedekoh]

well, Dex still tours , but with his sister, as the Dexter Romweber duo. Actually, Jack White just put out a single of theirs, on Thirdman.

[twirlyboggs]

uh-HUH

[a3m6l]

just getting into the flat duo jets. now i feel ive been missing out on so much good music, it sucks cuz there albums are so hard to find

[shanegedekoh]

check Norton records

[jks2]

wow that's a silvertone amp in case guitar! i wonder what amp he uses.

[Dayyyv]

Can anyone tell me the name of the 2nd song?  When Dex is playing an acoustic.

[elanmak]

GO DEX GO!

[sdmcnca]

Holy smokey.....I will never forget my dear friend Jere telling me about this band before we saw them together in Raleigh...it was such a special night....they were a real inspiration to Jere in the fact that they didn't have shit and were rocking their damn North Carolina asses off!!!!! Shane Duhe

[Spudcrotchrot]

Thank you for this video. No other musical performance embodies the spirit of rock and roll such as this one. And to think, I would have never known about Flat Duo Jets if it wasn't for the documentary, "Athens, GA Inside/out"

[jayceetee999]

I really wanna know what the song before the "rocker" is too! If anyone knows please share...

[jks2]

what's the first song?

[whitestripebuzz]

cant get over how fucking ace this clip is. its so good it actually hurts.

[benflannery]

does anyone know what chords dex is playing in Baby Blue?

[ncbrosig]

It's a 12 bar blues in E major so it's E, A, and B.

[ncbrosig]

Shoot, B7.

[gregrocks90046]

at 1:16 he looks like a snorting bull! this is the real deal rock and roll with none of the rock-a-billy poser greased hair levi's bullshit. i was lucky enough to see them in '91 or '92 at the blind pig in ann arbor michigan.

[FerndoSpade]

1:16 - Dex puts the moves on em.

The whole world should know about the Flat Duo Jets.

[ASTROAVERY]

this is really awesome, thanks.

[DipBlawgs]

whats the song playing before they go into the "rocker"?

[GingerAleRain]

Imagine what Dex would have been capable of had he experimented with drugs every now and then.

[HELLWINKLE]

Killer!

[thychelsea]

Crow was my guitar teacher.

[Babyhowdy233]

This is truly PRICELRSS! THANKS for posting!!

[dirtyhippie7]

Their version of "Baby Blue" is fantastic. It's like Gene Vinent on a cocaine & bourbon bender...

:D

[alucardisdumb]

the ferosity of that guitar playing is just...shivers

[Doyle5446]

Dexter really should have invested in a longer lead, it looks like his amp is gonna come crashing down at any second.

[ADgrind]

Yes!!! Great to see this on youtube again. This is fucking rock and roll.

[zeppelin72189]

ahhh! this is do bad ass!! thanks for posting this!

is there by any chance... more? :X
