"Bear this in mind a true friend is hard to find." - So true!

[playingforbritain]

[jfj619]

Now that is soul.

[TheDaftGang]

[MrReidLynn]

these guys are trying too hard to make a bluesy rondeyvoo with a limited amount of notes

[sherbil100]

Guess What. I'm here and I'm 14.

[TheLeaver1234]

@sherbil100 Guess what? No one gives a shit.

[MrReidLynn]

@TheLeaver1234 guess. what, fucking gay

[MrReidLynn]

@sherbil100 guess what, that just made me want to end your day with a bloody fight and a fatal shooting

[72earthwood]

Authenticity!! I love ALL this man's music.

[drStikkenschneider]

So I find an acceptable vid at last. It's important sometimes to see how your favorite music was done

[sportsportsport]

Human expression.

[MrReidLynn]

@sportsportsport WOW GAY

[deborah6804]

[MrReidLynn]

[lbdasublime2002]

The best song ever written.

[megajames3000]

i was sent by howlin wolf, and jimi sent me to howlin wolf

[deadboystare]

Even 11 years since I heard this it still affects me. I have no words. Usually just play it for someone without describing it. So glad there is a live video of this.

[neally76]

Absolute legend

[Rivers1334]

It does not matter how I got here, it matters that I am here.

[smallinson]

@Rivers1334 Beautifully put.

[arkee71]

his voice can teach you what love is

[handsomerube]

@arkee71 his voice teaches us what sorrow is...

[arkee71]

@handsomerube as son said himself...there aint but one kinda blues...and thats love

[DrugTheChicken1]

doesnt matter how cool you are, youll NEVER be cooler than an old-black guy!

[Diaramamond]

What year?

[adil1965able]

No one can sing the blues better that a brother,but the only one that can play(guitar) the blues is eric clapton.

[R0b1zzle137]

@adil1965able you obviously have never heard of Michael Bloomfield. Also you should consider Buddy Guy who made up a good amount of Claptons licks. But Bloomfield is the real deal check him out he'll change your opinion

[Ledcream69]

This is real Stoïcism. Read Seneca's letters to Lucillius :)

[GoMattii]

haunting

[metallerduke]

I can play this song

[dmreeoogdaq]

Ladies and gentlemen, the whole world sure needs a big, fat, heaping dose of this right here. ...and keep it coming.

[slyce1122]

Incredible!!!

[davidwantsahug]

The video is out of sync with the audio so everytime he clapped and the sound came half a second later it irritated me...

[chrisjackson777]

@davidwantsahug your life must be difficult

[davidwantsahug]

@chrisjackson777 It ruined an amazing song for me! :(

[talstory]

this is just great, just what we all think of as the blues...

[eartubes]

Tell me whos grinning in your face? love it

[jojohernandezGames]

this is actually my first time ever hearing,let alone seeing son house. and JESUS can this man sing. he sings from his very essense,his very soul! and his voice and manner is to cool for words.....

[grevejp44]

I saw the documentary forgot about that this was the song Jack was talking about then found the song on my own later.

[ChristofRomould]

this song makes me want to close my eyes n smoke a fat cigar.....

[mikethaironlung]

This is when he was older and drunker all the time, kinda sad

[musicourbano]

I would dare any of the so called "singers" nowadays to even try to sing this song... speechless..

[Cai0MGA]

Amazing

[dokcso]

this is it. this is the 'musicest' music. i dont find words for this

[nateulmer]

@CultureCunt Jack White

[DragonSinnex10000]

cool :D

[nateulmer]

I was sent by Jack

[CultureCunt]

@nateulmer ..who's jack?

[peeptalk]

This song is in the key of Bb eautiful.

[D00drebeau]

Pure honest musicianship <3

[InvestitiTvri]

just brilliant!

[ladivina79]

Who came here because they love Son House, and this song?

[MrLuke2413]

@ladivina79 Yes!! One of my favorite musicians, and what makes me like him even more is that he spent part of his life living in my home city area!

[MagicalSix]

@ladivina79 seriously. I don't care if jack white opened you up to Son House's music. You guys don't have to create a club over this. Get real

[syrscycsw]

@MagicalSix seriously. I dont care if you dont care.

[sillychops]

@syrscycsw inception

[syrscycsw]

@sillychops  indeed it is.

[handsomerube]

@ladivina79 who cares how people get here? the important thing is that they get here and leave completely floored...

[m4rkyboy]

F# Blues people, listen for the changes.

[thmpick]

He is one of my favorites! BAR NONE!

[hairnsap]

If your here for any reason other than enjoying this groove,life is passing you by

[dirtyrockeu]

Stunning!!



[victor9vsandagato]

I wish their were more people like Son House...simple and easy to understand

[chrisdavies39]

I defy anyone to perform music with such passion, with such soul, with such blatant disdain for outside opinion. This man is a legend, in every sense of the word.

[WingNutLCC]

cool

[MrMikedsnuts]

@tothewestofyou Don't be such an angry loser! You my friend are the bag of dog shit. It's music, let people enjoy it! Save your hatred for political discussions and get a life....it's a lot of fun!

[tothewestofyou]

@MrMikedsnuts No! I will not let people enjoy it! and life it's not fun mister, you call 80 hours of work a week, hangovers, drugs,women,doctoral thesis just for the sake of it fun? I drink way too much and leave angry comments on fucking youtube. I get in futile discussions with retards like you and Jack White fans, does that makes a loser? of course.now if you excuse me I'll go back to my scotch, my weed,my blues collection and the nice lady's vagina whose name I forgot.good day sir.

[Vogelfrei777]

@tothewestofyou

Epic. But nevertheless I'm a Jack White fan too. The good thing about Jack's music is, that he is a real blues man and with his music you can lure hipster faggots into your house and kill them with a rusty chain saw.

[tothewestofyou]

@Vogelfrei777 true that.

[Otodda]

@Vogelfrei777 LOOL!!!!

[TheMadCaptainMusic]

I've done a remix of 'Jinx Blues' if anyone's interested. The only video on my channel. Sorry to be a bit of a spammer. Cheers.

[BartMesmanguitar]

There used to be another video on youtube, almost the same, but than there was a little talk in advance and behind this song. I remember at the end he said something like he will tell the rest of the words later. I am trying to find this video but I can't find it anywhere anymore. Does anybody know where to find it? I'd really appreciate the help!

[wthop42]

whoever says that jack white is not one of the greatest guitar players of our time obviously doesn't know very much about music.

[ozcavers]

awesome

[jesusGCRB]

how many people listened the song because "Grinnin' in your face" is jack white's favourite song?

[jareddkeating23]

@comfortjjc shut your fucking mouth.

[comfortjjc]

@jareddkeating23 but he is

[jlqa447]

@comfortjjc and you are....who the fuck are you?

[davidnnjj]

@comfortjjc You're a grinner.

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

@jlqa447 what did the songs just say? "don't mind people grinnin in your face' In other words, if you like jacks music....fuck what the bastard says and enjoy the music for you!

[JordexAndCo]

@comfortjjc brilliant guitarist 

[TheSqualay]

@comfortjjc

care to reiterate on the reason of Jack White being a Faggot?

[comfortjjc]

@TheSqualay i went to barns and noble and found a book on the best guitarist in the world. just i can think of one song by the white stripes i like. doorbell. used to hear it every morning. But he is very very far from being a great guitarist. its like saying kurt cobain is a great guitarist he shouldent even be compared to the best

[Simonkingston182]

@comfortjjc last time I checked Jack White is not a bundle or sticks, nor a british cigarette.

[Hamsterzilla1349]

@jesusGCRB : Who cares, really ? That's great, period.

[automagician100]

this is the real deal life stuff cahboony...... yyyyyyeeeessssss

[crisscorreag]

If my grandfather was anything like this man, I would've thrown my TV out the window way earlier in my life.

[arbonac]

The song and the singer are great. The camera man is retarded.  What's up with the grand mal seizure inducing camera work? NOT COOL!

[odiealegodediego]

i've heard this song like 7 times this day... it is that awesome

[aifenwhite123]

what million dollars of effects and computers didnt tweak and complicated is a million times more soulfull and beautiful

[A7XfoREVerA7Xcjl]

thankyou jack white for helping me find this incredible song.. music prospective. completley changed

[dukeleto48703]

love it!



[ecturner25]

Amazing...absolutely amazing!

[bigleemac]

Stunning.

[BeauNameless]

Look at that modern chair he is sitting in *sigh*

[atti1488]

@BeauNameless these are the little thing that very few people notice...i know why you said so...i feel the same....

[sylviaturchetta]

Does anyone happen to know what year this was recorded? It seems much later than the LOC recordings.

[JoeytheGinger]

He wrote the lyrics like that. he sang it how he felt

[iliinsky]

Amazing.

This is the reason he's called powerful.

[DeathInDublin]

Fuck you sell out Jack in the box ... this shits real .

[DukeSecom]

@DeathInDublin if your talking about jack white, your an idiot. he's the only blues musician today keepin it real, and saying he's a sell out is the most idiotic thing you could say about him. if anything he anti-sold out

[DeathInDublin]

@DukeSecom

except when he took money to do a COCA-COLA AD ..... Hmmm

[ActiveStateOfMind]

@DukeSecom

White people have no business playing the blues, dude. i love jack white, but his blues arent really THE BLUES. they just sound like it.

[jess8323]

@ActiveStateOfMind . what a fantastic peice of shit that comment was. its got to be one of the most closed minded things ive ever heard. if you dont KNOW music as a freedom of expression then i dont think you have a right to say anything negative about who can play what. grow up.

[nathan01guitar]

@ActiveStateOfMind thats bullshit bro. stevie ray vaughan. nuff said

[iamchaossthought]

@ActiveStateOfMind The Blues may have started as a result of certain conditions/reasons, but they continue for others. Come on man, don't be that guy.

[calidirtyhead]

@ActiveStateOfMind hey homes, so I'm mexican does that mean I can't listen to blues either? music is for everyone puta

[elinapaula]

@DukeSecom I haven't read the comment you replied to, but i couldn't agree more with you. Jack is a wonder

[j0rge1000]

:O q genial es, como dice jack white, nunca se ve a alguien haciendo musica solo con su voz y unos simples aplausos, eso es ser distinto pero se oye genial

[gonzalo5207]

am i the only one who came here becuse of jack white?!?

[MrRokkafella]

@gonzalo5207 you are not alone

[Josie6494]

@gonzalo5207 definitely not!

I came here because of Jack White and 'It Might get Loud' too. ;)

[buttercrunch]

@gonzalo5207 Thats awesome. Now, go out and do what Mr. White did. Invest time and energy in the Blues (the heart and soul of Rock and Roll) and find more inspiring music that influenced not only Mr. White, but everyone else whose made records w/n the past 50 years. This is just the beginning. Have fun!

[rustapark]

@gonzalo5207

me too! Now i'm hooked.

[tothewestofyou]

@gonzalo5207 I hope you and JW die of butt cancer you fucking hipster bag of dog shit

[gonzalo5207]

@tothewestofyou whatever dude,,,

[tothewestofyou]

@gonzalo5207 I'm sorry dude, everybody knows how you emo/hipsters are sensitive, the butt cancer thing was way out of line, and yes I'm a bag of dog shit too, just like every other human being, so we have that in common.That and our strong feelings for Jack White's music, you love it and I hate it.I feel like this was a bonding experience, you know, me wishing you butt cancer, you saying whatever, we are like, closer now.so in that spirit , go eat chicken out of your mother's cunt...

[spfccsmft]

@tothewestofyou I mostly disagree with you, but I had to give your comment a thumbs up just for how funny it was.

[tothewestofyou]

@spfccsmft you are a generous soul, and for that I thak you and apologise in advance for my disgraceful alcoholic existence, peace and happiness...

[wolfynic]

@gonzalo5207 Nope!



[TheJohnriver]

@gonzalo5207 same

[funnyfrog11]

@gonzalo5207 I would have to say 70% of people came here because of It might get loud

[Ath3osMusic]

Excellence

[nirvanaNL1990]

thumbs up if jack white brought you here.

[RocksRevenge]

lyrics are wrong

[strat6911]

@RocksRevenge It's his song. Anyway he sang it, the lyrics are RIGHT.

[RocksRevenge]

@strat6911 i meant in the description. you misinterpreted me.

[strat6911]

@RocksRevenge I see. Sorry brother. Glad I wasn't the only one though. lol

[tc2103sd]

@RocksRevenge

how can the lyrics be wrong if its his song?

[RocksRevenge]

@tc2103sd I meant the lyrics in the description

[BWHAAFlixYT]

Jack White's fave song

[JBiscaia33]

Reminds me of my grampa. (Although my grampa is white and does not know even what blues are.)

[johnnychaos91185]

@JBiscaia33 Everyone knows what blues are.

[JBiscaia33]

@johnnychaos91185 Not my grampa.

[PunkLooees]

i like the solo

[hangmanneal]

i just want to thank jack whit for showing me this.

[SilentMelody04]

....and please don't talk about me when I'm gone

[D14007]

MUSIC STILL EXISTS!!!

[arkee71]

listen up people..this is the shit that makes your rock pop rap whatever this is it

[DirtyDayMix]

Ther's blood and soul in the music... and not elitist snobs u.u

[Deathsiren]

Can you folks stop arguing and listen to this song instead?

[hilaria89]

Anyone know where this recording was made?

[TheBammaLamb]

we may not have the White Stripes without this song

[CCRockit]

Funny thing for me...theres an ad for Gibson guitars in the featured videos, but theres no instruments in his music.

[maimere]

I was born the day son House died. This turns me sad when I remember it.
