White Stripes - Maps

[SquareYourFace]

Wow.  Why is this so bad?

[CREEPYCOOL2010]

CRAP

[JoeNostalgiaReturns]

Arcade Fire and The White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are all probably my top 3 favorite bands, and I think the YYY's original version is still best, followed by Arcade Fire and then the White Stripes.

[jrob18mvp]

@JoeNostalgiaReturns You've got 2 of my top four are very similar

1. YYYs

2. Metric

3. Franz Ferdinand

4. The White Stripes

[JoeNostalgiaReturns]

@jrob18mvp Franz Ferdinand were one of the first bands I ever loved and I just got into Metric late last year. They aren't in my top 4, but you've got great taste for sure.

[eurasiaandthelady]

@jrob18mvp You've got 2 of mine too :-)

[ohkriisten]

at least he could do was get the lyrics right...

[Ahmen88]

HAHA the crowd surfer part cracks me up

[mariaguadalupe6]

my 2 favorite bands

[hannahbanana1423]

okay this is a bit wierd but i had a dream the other day that simon cowel chose this song for the x factor single and i got really angry because they wrecked it and single handedly got the original to number 1 by buying a copy for every person i have ever met for christmas

yeah, i have odd dreams!

don't mind the white stripes covering it though!

[eamonFilmsEdits]

i'd just like to say i think all vesrions are pretty nice, this sound quality was pretty horrible. But i think its really neat that a band would take it upon themselves to flatter another band by playing their song. I bet its humbling.

[soadfan33]

I'll stick with the original. YYY's

[RAWRimaemokid]

arcade fire cover is much better than this and yeah yeah yeahs

[babydc202]

yeah yeah yeahs better she can sing sick

[Encenoa]

LOL the crowd surfer was the best part

[sodacream109]

YEAH YEAH YEAHS ARE WAY BETTER

[cpdsk]

@sodacream109 yeah, when most bands cover songs it isn't in tribute to the original songwriters, but rather to prove their superiority..

[deisempai999]

@cpdsk :c how do you know that?

[Fma1416]

@deisempai999 he was being sarcastic

[Fma1416]

I'm confused over what that crowd surfer was trying to do.

[KeaneKiller18]

AWESOME cover and awesome crowd surferXD

[spookyone1]

at 0:41, was that the crowd surfer screaming as they flew too? haha

[LiamAJobey]

hahah crowd surfer rocked :P he went up upside down though. is that possible?!?!?!?!

[taitai907]

LOL crowd surfer.

[ThePhantomWozzler]

I'd like to hear a studio version of this....preferably Meg wouldn't be having legs spasms during that version.

[youisapunk]

I don't hear anything wrong with her drumming on this version. My headphones are blown and so maybe I'm hearing it a bit off.

[SilviaHolland]

io amo i sia i white stripes che gli YYYs...

e questa canzone è apoteosi per le orechie!

[lilnaughty1]

Jack White....just stop...you pretty much suck at everything you do, its obvious that your work sucks and that's fine, but don't go around ruining other people's songs with your horrid voice.

[iFatDoggWaZColD01]

discusting

[vgdrmmr]

overdone?!

this is more subtle than the yeah yeah yeahs version...

[blackkat77]

he butchered it

[mrdarcy90]

way to destroy a beautiful song, Jack.

[TheWhiteBandana]

Its just a cover, lets not be rash.

hah

[dirtfoot]

I'm pretty sure the original is still in tact, acctually.

[YokoKurama01]

Fuck you!

;)

[oytothevey]

SO OVERDONE! The song is meant to be subtle, and Jack just ruins it by doing too much. The song loses so much of the meaning.

[robertopunkrocks]

josh is still one ugly ass mofo

hahaha

[w1i1l1l1l1]

(L) !!!

[chumicalica]

the yeahs rock!!!!!!

[DallyWinston117]

pretty alright....yeah karen probably would like it

[kustom56merc]

Worst duet in history.

[whitepearl724]

this cover sucks.... mostly bc the white stripes suck. Leave this song to YYYs.

[lgfuad4lyf]

you have no idea how good they are man. they brought back an amazing sound from the past and made it modern and didnt fuck it up.

[joshgrrr]

youre an idiot. white stripes have 1 good song out of their dozens and dozens of shitty ones.

[lgfuad4lyf]

whatever man, i dont give a shit wether you like the band or not. but you either have horrible taste in music or your just musically challenged.

[squeezeandbust]

tisk, tisk another one influence by mtv

[joshgrrr]

Yeah you wish. Ive watched about 2 hours of mtv in my entire life, and that was before the white stripes were even thought of. Why dont you go listen to your mcr, Deathcab for cutie, and other generically shitty bands too, seeing as your a fan of terrible music.

[squeezeandbust]

Mcr? Death cab? okay I heard of Death Cab through passing, but mcr? I don't know what the fuck that is. I know the The White Stripes rock and I don't have to aruge for that. Why don't you go listen to some cold play and dance in your room by yourself.

[joshgrrr]

Thats funny, I noticed when coldplay covers something, It sounds good. When White stripes Runs out of ideas, they try out good songs and ruin them. You're too busy listening to your jungle beat rhythms to know whats good and whats not. Theres an opinion, then theres terrible music.

[squeezeandbust]

Okay if you reffering to some rap battle on my page it's probably the funniest shit on this site. Your opionion means shit to me as you're cold play fan where all their songs sound the same. I seen the white stripes twice and seen first hand of what they are made of.

[joshgrrr]

Its cool, See them 40 times. Its not hard to see nothing. They're the same mediocre sound that gets recognition as being alternative, because its not good enough to be in next to real rock artists.

Come back when the white stripes aren't terrible.

[johnny2125]

death cabs not bad

[scotttgross]

love it great.

[Patryk01]

Karen would liek it:)

[dylna1]

wow meg white can't do brian chase

[jackstypewriter]

Its a tall order for anyone to do Brian Chase.

[Spoonman550]

I thought the White Stripes version sucked, leave it to the YYYs guys, but your own music is good

[Manusturbo]

The WHite STripes have covered Fever to Tell too. Check out their VH1's Ball and Biscuit performance.

[ViolentYearZero]

Fever to Tell is an album.

[Manusturbo]

Ooops, sorry, my mistake.

I meant "other songs from" Fever to Tell, of course.

[ViolentYearZero]

=]]]]]]]]

[sobe22bune]

i love white stripes but nothing could beat jackie-o...but i still love jack.

[floboskifilms]

isn't it karen o. I thought Jackie O was the first lady.

[sobe22bune]

lo! i cant belive i got her name wrong. ok. im retarded. but ya. KAREN-O is amazing!!!!!!!!

[p0sthuman13]

i agree, the original is hard to top, but this is a good cover. the best cover i've see so far is the paris motel version on youtube.

[amayzingmind]

Yeah yeah yeahs does this better than any other band could dream of.

I don't care for this version...the drums sound off...

[tronious]

the original group does it much better...but not bad

[SadisticBlade]

I love it! O.O

I can feel the bass. :D

[three27]

I would have cried if I'd been there. I'm almost crying now. AAAAAAAAAAAAH

They don't love you like I love you, Jack!

[kenziegunn]

tell it like it is

[gatoid]
