The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldier (Live On Jools Holland)

[TwiggyR]

what is the lead guitarist holding against his strings at 2:57?

[xwexarexbulletsx]

Goddamit those cymbals are hypnotizing and amazing, innit?

[robsmale]

MAKE ANOTHER ALBUM FOR US! PLEASE!!!!!!!

[nazzik112358]

Well, I thing Matt and Jack are the best guitarists in this time. They have very different styles of playing, Matt has more heavy style, Jack plays more technical, more bluesly...So, their music are natural music, not such as shitly pop and rap, which we gets from musical industry.

[placid56]

Jack White:

The Dead Weather: the holy spirit

The Raconteurs: Jesus

The White Stripes: God

I'll become a believer

[006sick]

0:27 What happened Jack?

[MrLinknavi]

Alright, who time traveled... (look under my post)

[hplax20]

is brendan using a magnet on his guitar to get that sound?

[hplax20]

jack started singing too early lol

[ledballone]

uriah heep influence



[HAsmatarian]

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.....

search "hey you band taking over"

[brucelee6790]

oh for sure, the album is mediocre to be honest but their live performances are excellent

[Bassmastasnake33]

whats the thing that brendon benson is using with his right hand?

[VARTANAPER323]

@Bassmastasnake33 Its an Ebow

[lilmel1981]

@larrymeansbusiness: your right they are a much better band live than on an album.

[robertpearson00]

im going to save 50 cents on any BRUT product

[donjaysus]

live tho only works if the sound tech aint a tard who tunes the vocals in much too low

[TOmostPeople]

This song makes me want to learn the drums...

[cul8erinnovator]

You realise this means Jack White and Matt Bellamy were in the same room. Surely they could have had a solo off? Or a cheeky collaboration?

[Interloper83]

@cul8erinnovator not enough computers for matt.

[jimromerulez]

much better live. saw them at treasure island in 2008 this was a like 8-10 minute jam

what ever Jack touches seems to turn out bitching, but I am hoping (know its a long shot for a stripes reunion eventually

[ForJordie]

I don't see how Jools can go through a whole show without getting dizzy

[MrV1C7OR]

2:08 Matthew Bellamy like: Look at that thing !

[elliot0gittins]

I cant find any of those 'elbows' online, the thing that Benson is using that is. Anybody know where I can check them out?

[mynewjamsandwich]

@elliot0gittins

Hey man, I pretty sure they're called Ebows not Elbows (as in there's no L). I just quickly googled 'guitar ebows' and Amazon came up with some. No doubt there'll be many more other places as well. Hope that helps.

[hockeybub89]

THE BOY

[shyANDROID]

Patrick Keller....insane

[paulfremery]

2:50 what brendan is using ?

[Mossobaadi]

@paulfremery It's an Ebow.

[child4adoption]

I just have the same feeling as when I'm falling in love ...

[Willdo4]

Jake came in jus a lil to early with those lyrics.....

[quiffsterz]

2:08 hey, its muse! :)

[theguitarczar]

4/29 ad infinitum I am out every chance I get seeing live shows!

[MegaLlamas1]

I like Pat Keeler. 

[ThatThingRightThere]

What's The Brand Name Of Dean's Guitar?

[redmoondelight]

@ThatThingRightThere Airline Town and Country which was made by Valco.

[ThatThingRightThere]

What Kind Of Guitar Does Dean Have?

[5sagen5]

whoa intense! :D

[jimbot2007]

what did he mean when he said " we now know where he keeps his grammy" anybody have a clue?

[pooonapiece]

this is just far to good, i've been coming back to this for the past two years and will do for the rest of my puff haha!

[flickded]

They need a proper live album instead of all the random limited edition third man concerts that you can only purchase if you were in attendance.

[bazziz]

2:08 - Matt Bellamy " Look Dom if you practice enough you might be that good on drums one day"

[flyingmojo5]

fucking awesome!

[shyANDROID]

awesome patrick!

[SplapkaFilms]

The rocked the shit outta Jools Holland.

Its amazing that they could make that album sound better. Unbelievable performance for all of their songs!

[PastaCheifFilms]

whats that thing the Brendon has on his guitar? He uses it to play in his left hand?

[HajrudinPranjga]

@PastaCheifFilms thats an Ebow you can call it a electric kind of violing bow for guitar, :)

[PastaCheifFilms]

@HajrudinPranjga hmmm, i needs to get me one of them, oh wait they cost £100. Guess i'll just get a real violin bow for £15...

[HajrudinPranjga]

@PastaCheifFilms hehe I know, :) I think the Ebow is like easier to use, hehe

[hollikins58]

jack white <3

[HMPerri]

Anybody know what kind of mic or mic mod that is that he's yelling into around 2:03?

There is a great vibe in this performance... the drummer is a beast but he gets a little too excited, definitely starts speeding up @ 0:38 ish

[JeffateaSnickers]

@HMPerri That would be a Copperphone mic.

[PastaCheifFilms]

@HMPerri Green Bullet i think. He used them so much he had one built into his guitar that he can just pull out.

[Colin2720]

Jack White's vamping abilities are out of this world.

[riemoj]

who cares that muse is there, I'd be more psyched to see the raconteurs any day

[raulbarrientos007]

fucking drummer is crazy good

[Pizano2123]

matt & jack should play together??

[Interloper83]

@Pizano2123 matt needs computers

[cubetube199]

lol ... muse at 2:10

[MrJoeSeer]

Idk i kinda like the studio version better

[Longboardersrule12]

Nice fuck up jack it just disproved all of our theories that ur not god but after that performance I'm back to the reality that u are god!!

[MrFilipinjo]

the raconteurs are almost as good as muse

[Swashbukkles]

@MrFilipinjo i wouldnt compare the two. they have different sounds, different strengths, different styles. both are incredible though :)

[MrFilipinjo]

@Swashbukkles true true matt and jack are still awesome guitar players :D

[MardraumGhoul]

@MrFilipinjo They are better.

[MrFilipinjo]

@MardraumGhoul muse or the raconteurs?i prefer muse but the raconteurs are awesome aswell :D

[gbgg9409]

Wow, Muse were there too?? What episode is this?

[fizzgigify]

this show makes me want to live in the UK.

[robYCFC]

2:26 jack's eyes! :D

[DieByTheDrop]

I dont give two shades of shit if Jack White came in early or not this is fucking perfect!!

[eero2100]

DEANNNNNNNNN! 0:14

[jalexk12]

HOLY SHIT 2:10 MUSE is there!

[Timeconsumer9]

haha the other band is like "yeah... we suck" ha ha

[GRandPavisStalker]

"Well I'm child then man then child again!"

I love that line and the guys they show all impressed with them! XP

[DTCarel]

@GRandPavisStalker That would be the gentlemen from Muse!

[GRandPavisStalker]

@DTCarel Well they most certainly have a great taste in music! ^^

[edmedmoped]

And what an epic drum pattern it is.

[mysteryskater48]

The oh-so mysterious 3rd guitarist is actually the guitarist for the Queen's of the Stone Age, Dean Fertita. He toured with the Raconteurs after they released Broken Boy Soldier's.

[johnnyxxx31]

idk anything about the 3rd guitarist but its cool as hell

[ipownsohard]

jaw dropping

[simonfree22]

muse and the raconteurs? this must have been the best Jools ever. xD

[readingfcdec]

i love the f**k up with jack singing too early :)

[matheusprado95]

mto bom! melhor q a versa do cd!

[DrZoidberg15]

holy shit even MUSE is impressed!

[Toushirouluv]

He worked that mistake.

[ihatescreamobands]

MUSE FTW! 2:09

[XCrazyGuitarManX]

this is a million times better than the recorded version, even if jack came in too early twice :P

[TheValiance]

They are all oozing with incredible talent, especially the drummer imo.

Are the Raconteurs still going or did they kick the bucket when the two Jacks went to the dead weather?

[Spudmunki]

@2:03

[EvilKiro69]

this song is beast :D

i love this band!

[tere99m]

2:10 Matt and Dom :) ahh soo cute

[ssaabbuu]

I think Jack comes in too early.. oh well still amazing and pulled it back in style!!! :)

[randomgong]

It's always fun to see musicians you admire make mistakes too.

[ashlerder]

what guitar is he using here??

[GomerPyle84]

Jack is playing his Gretsch Rancher Acoustic-Electric, Brendan is playing his Guild, and I'm not sure what Dean is playing.

[johnnypigfinger]

@GomerPyle84 - Looks like an Airline Town & Country.

[buddyray69]

Fuking awesome, its classic rock with a industrial twist, grrrr, love it,

[kornfan0001]

the raconteurs and the white stripes are SOOOOOOOOO much better live than on the cds

[BeckEhster]

@kornfan0001 and thats a fucking awesome thing.

[HoskieDC]

whats that that Jack sings into at 2:03? just a tin can around a microphone or some sort of vocal effects unit?

[MissMisteree3]

It's a harmonica mic :)

[Rino1707]

wow

[OfficialChannelOfHi]

I love how Muse is just sitting in the corner chillin' to some Raconteurs.

[kaisersitow]

NO MMS MUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a muse le staba gustando la rola 2:09 !!!!!!!!!algundia deberian hacer un concierto juntos oh eso seria espectacular!!!!!!!!!!

[TheCydoniaKnight94]

LOVE 2:09 !!!!!!

[tanwapo]

no mames pinche rolon

y amo a muse 2:09 jajajaja

[Psychocandyy]

son mui lokos

pinche bateria salvaje

[judomouse]

I dont know why the description says the CD doesnt do them justice because Jack has ALWAYS struggled to sing this live as its just outside his range. The rest are tight as fuck though.

[larrymeansbusiness]

"CD doesn't do them justice" implies that the CD doesn't show how good they are. It's a compliment..

[Hollaatchoboi]

only way to describe this song.........a clusterfuck of greatness. it's fuckin' awesome.

[TheBlenderer]

2:09 Yay, it's Muse!

[Katrinawitch]

Muse is another of my absolute favorite bands. It's cool to see them rocking out to the Raconteurs. This was a great "Live", that also included the Gypsy Kings and Amy Winehouse.

[ytnbsa]

what is that thing that brendon is using in his guitar?

[Pacifizm]

@ytnbsa its an ebow. im not totaly positive on the mechanics but im pretty sure it has to do with electromagnetic pulses being sent through the guitar string, creating short loops. it makes a rly cool whine and i think u can get em new for around 100$

[12345l6789]

ebow sustains notes

[Rhuantavan]

It's an e-bow.

[BonamassaVaughan]

What guitar is the pisnist using?

Does anybody kno that?

[Baconfish]

It looks like and Airline Town and Country.

[TheSchoolsux345]

yeah probably an airline, i thought of italia guitars when i first saw it

[mrbling5]

just an old harmonica mic jw uses it alot SASG in the chorus he does and many other songs

[simonjeste]

Copperphone!

[hunterbrinson]

This song sounds way cooler live especially at Glastonbrry. also wut kind of mic is that at aroun 2:14 and wut does it do.

[thtmusicloser]

hey what the heck is the cymbal the drummer is using is it like a ride bell?

[blackrebelsheep]

Patrick Keller: just awesome!!!!!!!

...in fact all of them

[Jackamole]

oh! AND Dual eBow action?! oh man, Im nursing a semi right now

[Jackamole]

This band is just too cool. All their equipment is fucking awesome and they all just look too cool...Im so jealous

[knockmed0wn]

excellent.

[tomytomtomtomy]

2:08

Shit! That's Muse!

[LiviaIndica]

I saw that too! And Matt, Chris and Dom are diggin' it! I bet that was a great Jools Holland show for the audience.

[tomytomtomtomy]

Wish I was there

[ashjamie]

Both Brendan and Jack have screwed up with lyrics several times, but they ALWAYS make it seem like it was on purpose and then catch themselves. It's what makes them so admirable. I LOVE this performance.

[DEL4016]

YEAH MUSE!!!! 2:08

[frostieschocopop]

...their lives are always better that the CD... It's pure talent :/

[TheSbsw]

Does jack sing early... he just starts singing then turns around and tops...

[HoskieDC]

haha yes he does

[AFXAcid37]

yea it looks like he fucks up there and catches himself.

[Jackamole]

Yeah he does :-(

[mattlikes2murder]

whats that thing brandon's using near the pick-ups near the end?

[EyeofyourMind84]

An ebow.

[mattlikes2murder]

funny !!!! , no really, whats that gizmo he's using near the of the song? , anybody ?

[EyeofyourMind84]

Dude, what else could you be talking about, I see an E-Bow... You know, the thing with the magnets in it to create a feedback loop, thus making the whiny/droning sound...

[p0c0m0c0]

Explosive.

[wouterwouterwouterso]

What is that effect on the second microphone of Jack White? is it a special sort of effect box you can buy or does he use some kind of guitar effect on it?

[dahfshx]

2:09 > Muse!!!!!

[ascyrillo]

anyone knows what guitar is the third guitarist (neither jack or brendan) playing?

[PhoenixRising235]

Looks Gretsch, google was what questions were built for...I might have that forwards...no wait.. the other one .. backwards.

[patj1]

it's an Eastwood/Airline guitar, not sure which model, check the website.

[ascyrillo]

thank you very very much.

[TheWhatOfficial]

Actually it's an original Airline Town & Country guitar from the 60's :^) ...i like guitats.......

[Buckeyed325]

if you check out some other raconteurs videos or white stripes videos. you will sometimes see jack play that guitar. it must be his.

[TheWhatOfficial]

I'm pretty sure he just uses it in the original "Steady, As She Goes" video only.

Correct me if i'm wrong :^P (The town and country guitar)

[jackwhitestripe14]

i think it's eastwood

[BrokenBoySoldier1]

What is the gold box called? NOT the gold microphone.

[georgemasiello]

All part of his "make 2 people sound like 4" thing when he got into the foot-peddle thingy. I think that voice part has something to do with the song's message.

We're not supposed to question a genius though, right? Which he is.

[BrokenBoySoldier1]

What is the gold box/thing on top of the amp beside the gold microphone? Watch steady as she goes live video to see it clearer.

[Spaghettaboutit]

It's some lo-fi type of mic that has an old style EQ so the vox sound different, Primus also uses them.

[BrokenBoySoldier1]

Is jack white using a killswitch or something when he uses the gold microphone.

[indierickenbacker]

zvex tremolo probe

it annoys the shit out of me, i wish he wouldnt use it.

[Apesto88]

jack turn all thing he touches in gold for the ears

great musician

[billiebasss]

JAck is God.

[goldendragonq77]

to answer a few of the comments here. the thing benson is using is an ebow. jack is not high. his influence is from old blues players, not British bands

[ohheyymeriii93]

@goldendragonq77 mainly true, but led zeppelin was another big influence for him. like most musicians lol.

[loser0punk]

@goldendragonq77 i just got a son house album and it reminds me so much of white stripes... or visa versa :P jack really shows the blues influence especially in white stripes

[goldendragonq77]

im really high but i think jack starts early to signify that hes broken. you know like hes the broken toy/boy soldier

[VirtualSting]

XD

Jack totally started to sing the song early. He blew his que!

XD

[nolanpotter1]

I don't much like this song but the performance was great.

[Nanaki2042]

holy sh*t! my new favourite band :D love Jack.. he's hot!

[cyberdems]

1:58 you can see MUSE's Dom busy hand-drumming on his thighs =)

[cyberdems]

0:58 even =)

[ClassicFritz]

what does the 3rd guitarist do at 2:38 ??

[popatire23]

using an e-bow i think

[ClassicFritz]

never heard of something like this :D

[popatire23]

it makes a sort of a violin/string sound. i want one

[Praw48]

whaat!? Why is the video gone!? :( :(

[whiteontuers]

jack means to do the "false start"..i think it sounds cool and ive seen him do it in 4 or 5 others performances

[ohiogizajmazakisan]

they rule

[phonicfred]

is jack supposed to do that at the start? :P

[jackskate]

i dont think he does XD

[mummiku]

patrick keeler's drums are like singing this song along with jack white...
