The White Stripes - MTV (Medley)

[WhisperingAnthem]

Dead Leaves sounds SO F-IN EPIC in this performance.

[bassgeek3]

I think i smell a rat riff got snuck in there. Jack being a badass as always

[thmf16]

1:04 troll

[Marquinator]

LOL

Jack Black introducing Jack White

[ArchangelSammael]

@Marquinator

holy shit, didn't even notice that...

[gabomurinhor]

awesome performance, jack and the big muff pi did their job

[Blackstreetkings]

those dancers are total douchers.... wish I coulda got the chance to be one of them.

[BakerBro12]

What are the chances that all those people wore the same thing to the show that day? I'd be embaressed...

[rally240]

those dancers are annoying...

[dirtearth]

Dancers completely ruined what could have been one of the coolest MTV performances ever.

Someone should make a version where the shots of them ESPECIALLY during Dead Leaves are edited out and replaced by something else. Anything else.

[cesarghariani]

I'm pretty sure that there's not 1 dancer there that's ever heard a single song of the white stripes

[doofus405]

@cesarghariani I just watched their interview with Nardwaur right before this one and he asks them about that and they said it was cool because they werent hired dancers but in fact fans that MTV let go up on stage.Although by the look of it, they were probably more fans of Britney Spears and Creed.

[liampdc]

ahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahah­

[culturevulture123]

the dancers are all WTF mate when dead leaves starts

[NintendoSinceBirth1]

jack sounds like hes about to make his guitar explode all the time

[shhhplace]

Whats with the dancers

[busydoinnothinn]

lol, love how when jack stops playing 'fell in love with a girl' the dancers pause for a second and have no idea what to do.

[Techp13]

MTV only sucks now because they couldn't top the White Stripes.

[MrKamienski]

Black & White xD They should make band coled yin yang xD

[ShyteKreek46]

This was my introduction to one of the most innovative musicians of the last 20 years... and Jack White...HAHA. Just kidding... You da man, Jack!!!

[raulox17]

the last band who played music with heart and soul

[blackchevrolet]

I was at the taping of this show and something went wrong during the first take (I think Meg f**ked up) so they had to drag all those "dancers" outside and have them run in again.

[PookaDude42]

Cheesy though it may have been, this was (I think) my very first exposure to the band. I've never been quite same since. We'll miss you guys!

[zatchfan202]

the performace that started it all for me FAREWELL JACK AND MEG YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVOURITE BAND ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!

[asu1027]

For me, this performance is the epitome of the White Stripes. I'm so thankful for their music, and I'm happy they ended their saga with respect for what's important.

[asu1027]

People are complaining about the dancing? Jack encourages dancing at his shows. There are several youtube videos of him mocking those standing still.

[lovemusicmzipse]

anyone know what sound he has on his guitar

[firelovesugar100]

@lovemusicmzipse Montgomery Airline guitar with a Big Muff pedal, played through a Silvertone 1484 amp I would imagine :) the Big Muff pedal is definately used though, it gives that powerful distortion :D

[consoler3]

@firelovesugar100

in addition, the Big Muff is played on top of a MXR Micro Amp. Gives that beautiful "crunch" sound! =]

[firelovesugar100]

@consoler3 Awesome :D I remember hearing about Jack using one, forgot to mention it though lol

[SimVik91]

Here's a quote from Meg White about this performance: "M: It was really good because it was all fans. They picked people all out of lines and the our website and everything else so they were all just crazy fans. And it wasn't like models or anything and so it was good."

So don't blame MTV guys. Blame The White Stripes :-)

[imthejuggernaut97]

seamless transition between 2 totally different songs, can't wait for HIS hall of fame induction!

[TheWolfgangcuties]

Jack and Meg were AWESOME, but one thing MTV doesn't understand. WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES IT SAY TO DANCE TO ROCK, WHEN POP MUSIC IS DANCEABLE. MTV is far into pop and doesn't know anything.

[RussianThickness1]

when they switched songs the dancers were like "wtf mate!"

[danielsoferman]

wow his hair looks like he blew somthing like in the cartoons XD XD XD XD XD XD

[simonfree22]

the dancers.. cringe. 

[fantasticokaka]

this is so pathetic, why does mtv put those ridiculous dancers on stage

[computadorasana]

@fantasticokaka lo genial es que cuando jack hizo el cambio de ritmo esos pendejos bailarines trataron de improvisar y varios no sabian ni que bailar jajaja

[greenJems]

@fantasticokaka those are actually real fans from the White Stripes' website. They're not stupid enough to allow MTV to put model dancers on stage...

[Exanarchy1]

the best live on mtv among 10-15 years.... but fuck this stupid dancers...in the other side they just having fun with amazing band...

[scholpp666]

This is awsome.

[10robbo]

and i think i smell a rat.

[ibanez94dx]

Mtv you suck!!! but Jack and Meg rule!!!!

[klrc0]

retard dancers

[corakanproductions]

[darkserenitymoon]

thats fresa guey

[SchnellM3]

1:34, hooooly crap did that just give me the chills!

[ZapfSzmata]

JACK WHITE  BLACK

[zom007]

Not his best hair style lol

[PatFromHell]

The worst fake ass dancers ever seen, but WS rock MTV fucking ass!

[oMTVkilledRock]

Who the fuck was the idiot that was like... "ya we should prolly dance the robot to this song"

[Pandapple1995]

LMAO... why are those people doing the robot during Dead Leaves?

[efee52]

this is when i knew i would love the white stripes forever but mind you i was in kindergarten

[NEEDLES122]

:D red and white mini mosh pit thingy!

[3Nerdy]

A White Stripes Orgy.

[jjkcharlie]

That little "The Union Forever" riff....justfrackin awesome.!!!

[efee52]

@jjkcharlie that was actually from i think i smell a rat

[Sinisterkidvids]

haha i love how he fucks with the hipsters

[nycberlin]

They sound amazing live. just like on the cds

[thepatient08]

I'm sure MTV made them do something like that.

[pwashington99]

Awesome!!!! Just awesome!!

[freshcoastrider]

minus all the dancers, one of the best live performances at an mtv awards show.

[ffbrockr18]

Can someone please tell me what the hell he is saying??

[MMAf1ghter]

what is this song called again ????

[TheBatchGuy]

@MMAf1ghter Fell in Love With a Girl.

[jdt917]

Whats up with the lame dancers? Why are there dancers anyways?

[JahirCasablancas]

Quién contrató a esos tipos?! No saben ni lo que hacen. Y se ve bien genial cuando Jack los pierde, chance y lo hizo a propósito xD

[Abstract67]

the stripes were flawless, yet i don't think Jack went to MTV and said "you know what we need during our preformance? 200 idiots dressed exactly like us jumping around, thus, ruining the show"

[Lenzebubi]

he looks a little bit like johnny depp

[naruto00nix]

cutest drummer ever lol

[xxxxNhojxxxx]

OMG robot dancers wtf D:

anyway I love the songs

[deppilf]

I love how all the dancers are flipping out for Fell In Love With A Girl, then when he plays the I Think I Smell A Rat riff and goes into Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground they're all completely lost, then he goes back into Fell In Love With A Girl For their sake.

[dirtycoffee22]

thats not why they went back into it. they were told to do these things it was choreographed

[deppilf]

@dirtycoffee22 Haha, yeah, I was rambling.

[deppilf]

@dirtycoffee22 Haha, yeah, I was rambling.

[Dudemag]

ROFL shit is wack

[totti10italia]

Jack looks so much like a younger sweeny todd lol

[lisabluelisa]

we rehearsed without the robot scene. then when Jack and meg came to our "holding" room he asked us do the robot during that part. Not his fault some people sucked. he is amazing. <3

[bbork13]

I love the awkward robot moves the dancers do during Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground

[roadster81TS]

actaully kids yes that was jacks idea..

[thecommonground]

I think Jack F***D up the MTV corporate idea of having dancers when he switched to Dead Leaves lol ;) Great job Jack & Meg!!

[taimic]

just.. lol

[ConnorGunn]

As if doing the robot wasn't lame enough

[pps234]

this was like there first real big preformance

[marcoscorrea93]

dancers doing the robot during Dead Leaves. The worst thing you ever saw

[Mancini1979]

Corporation Inc. gets a sense of humour ?

Couldn't agree with you more, White Stripes can do no wrong (even the Coke ad) but the MTV suits must have been amazed that they got away with this..I prescribe Dirty Cash by Adventures of Stevie V

[BebeLush2]

@marcoscorrea93 I agree.  It's pretty horrid. But what did you expect from MTV? Oy, just oy.

[worlichTV]

@marcoscorrea93 i like it! it fits.. all those girls.. it's nice.. not?

[ryrodye]

@marcoscorrea93 Hot ladies in red and white. The best thing you ever saw

[dylaneverywhere]

@marcoscorrea93 I totally agree! I was one of those "Roboters" and the producers had us do that because they didn't want all of us Extras doing nothing during the slow part...

[xxxxNhojxxxx]

I though that if Jack White meets Jack black a fist-fight would happen.

*joking*

great performance

[TheSFGIANTSFAN]

Since you brought it up, wouldnt it be cool if Jack White and Jack Black started a band. haha

[Whitestripes08]

Jack White was probably face palming after he saw the dancers, that was definitely not his idea.

[McClvre]

the are not brother and sister. they married in 1996 and divorced in 2000. they wanted to focus more on their family and decided to let everyone believe they are bro and sis so the marriage would not be brought up

[0mgshoes]

i need to be meg white and then jack white should marry me. the end.

[0mgshoes]

no they're not. they were married, now divorced but they call each other bro and sis.

[DeadWireProductions]

no.. all of the marrage and divorce documents are fake no signatures from jack or meg

[myrkeyjones]

Not brother and sister, very close friends, but not directly related.

[yootesa1515]

i love it when he mixes songs together live

[Bluesysphinx]

hahaha i i think i smell a rat was played in the transition hahaa love it

[plxplxkthx]

2.26

awesome

[LucreFam]

rolling stones top 20 best guitarist ever 0_o i love the white stripes :)

[DeadWireProductions]

Jack White is #17

[Diabloamarant]

Jack must've felt trapped, normally he jumps and runs around a lot. :D

[opet22]

nice n smart remark

[bradulator]

those dancers are annoying, must've been mtv's idea.

great songs though.

[V2Hovership]

Jack's hair in this is sweet :)

[KATE24211]

[Lestat3619]

[somorastik]

[brendda15]

[hansTowns]

[sindreforfaen]

[LillyCandyCane]

This is a little bizarre with the weird dancing people but oh well the white stripes rule :D

[chxartuza]

meg's too qute in this video...ah...

[brendda15]

[hansTowns]

'fell in love with a girl' and 'dead leaves and the dirty ground' ? as it says in the description...

[pordoklani1]

[kajilawa]

[pordoklani1]

[deir258]

[brettlowey]

hahahahahhahahaha

[ssaabbuu]

LOL at that guy!, you get the feeling Jack White didnt organise those dancers!:P

[camisgreat666]

LMFAO, just saw it and then your comment

hilarious

10/10

[benjydoesit]

Who You Know Better Than Jack ?

[BananaBreadMakesMe]

why'd jack forget the red/white/black thing when he played with the raconteurs?

[NiggieTheMagicalJoo]

Its not that jack forgot about it. the raconteurs is a completely different band. the whole theme of tws is childishness. the raconteurs isnt. the color scheme of the white stripes is red white and black because jack thinks its a powerful color combination and represents childishness.

[claytoncoyne]

he kinda has a theme of copper going for the Raconteurs though... all his guitar pedals are painted a metalic copper, he has a copper microphone he uses, and he has a guitar that's finished in copper plating. The copper thing isn't as strict as the red/white/black with the Stripes though. Good times!

[NANDtheRipper]

Jack White und Jack Black ^^

[Eazyebitches]

you can tell some of the dancers didnt listen to TWS, so sad....good performance tho by them

[Seedr0]

I was kind of thinking the theme was ridiculous and off-beat-dancing.

[elbratzo]

i loved white blood cells. it was refreshing.

[Lost]

its cool :)

[violentcandy]

there's something kind of surreal about this.

in a good way

[beejay4x01]

lol at jack black

[LillyCandyCane]

his hair is funny though

aww jackies hair tis all messed up

i like

[housecry]

They should have just let them play. MTV had to make it corny throwing those cheesy dancers in. I think their performance was great minus the dancers.

[LillyCandyCane]

yeah, lol i thought it was cool for about half a second then thought ok enough sit down now leave them alone dont degrade the white stripes with wrong dancers doing the robot...

[JackWhiteIsKing]

Are they honestly doing the robot to this?

[autoinfanticideband]

im sorry to say they are indeed my friend

[jack170393]

I would have been well teampted to run on with the ancers :P

[havok710]

the song is great but it couldve been better without the dancers

[latinoish37]

best ever

[hedzeppelin91]

god, i wish i was as good as jack

[jennfoster]

7 years ago, this performance changed my life.

[scarlettbegonia777]

i love how he kind of confuses the audience up there! kinda like saying "whoa man! didn't expect so many people!"

[xxxxNhojxxxx]

Jack white and jack black on the same video xD

[mumumutube]

cooooooooooooll

[peppermints53]

wow jacks hair!! hah,, i like this jack and the begining jack better than todays jack it was more about the music and the love for it then

[irongiant333]

lol. in the beggining when the people run out jack is smiling. looks like he was suprised. good ol' jack

[AtomicUprising]

Candycane Children ran in and started dancing?

[jaknife5436]

no the dudes from the Lolipop Guild

[wharfrat89]

this is just fucking incredible

[oscarkev190]

[scarsandcandybars]

patrick henry :)

[oscarkev190]

[scarsandcandybars]

sorry, i mistaken you for someone smart.

[oscarkev190]

its mistook, you cunt

[hansTowns]

hehe nice 1 ;)

just looked it up, patrick henry said 'i smell a rat' and that's why he declined some kind of invitation:P A lot of bullshit from the past xD

white stripes are here now and will be forever! haha

[snavedizzle]

That some kind of invitation was an invitation to help write the Constitution of the United States...:)

[hansTowns]

sorry, im dutch ;)

wasnt really interested in looking into all that:P haha

but you guys are apperently, looking at my -1 thumbs down... :P

[KoAMidnight]

[SteVeThe3rd]

[loiseau212]
