why are people ripping on Jack White? So he seemed amazed at the way Warren was playing the violin. So was i, and im a lot older than Jack!!!! So cut him some slack, eh folks?
@EuchridEucrow1 That's the thing, a GUITAR for Jack. Nobody expects a violin to sound like that, even if they ARE influenced by every single poor black blues artist you claim Jack White copied. Jimmy Page did the same thing, it's called evolving.
I like Jack White. He knows how to craft a hook and he seems genuinely committed to the aesthetic of the blues in his recordings.
I don't really rate him as a guitarist, though, because I've seen so many do it better. Slide playing is a pretty ubiquitous technique among all manner of string players. The idea that it's somehow an emulation of a newbie like Jack White is fairly laughable.
jack white used to play in a band called goober and the peas, and they had opened for nick cave and the bad seeds in detroit. this was all pre white stripes, and i don't recall if jack was actually playing that gig, however i can assure you, jack white has been a fan of the bad seeds for years. nick cave has been huge in detroit since the birthday party.
@Danisoff that would be disturbingly precise "violin" solos, with monster distortion thrown in. Not sure of the bearded dude's name, but he rocks like a banshee on that fiddle.
Is there anyone cooler than Nick Cave? The answer, No Fucking Way! Great Song, incredible when I saw em' live on this tour. Nick Cave is just fucking Cool!
Jack Whites in there? The hell? He looks so confused. Two awesome dudes (Cave is the coolest though) in the same room, and yet all the women remained clothed.
@JiMizOr I was actually expecting to see Russell Crowe when 2:12 came around because of your comment. But now I'm just sitting here laughing my ass off at the look-alike!
Hell yeah. I don't think Jack has ever heard A violin played like that. Neither have I. this blew my mind. You can tell that Jack was in the presence of great musicians and songwriters
@nicfoley88 All I could think when I was watching this (without knowledge of The Dead Weather's presence) was: "This is what The Dead Weather wants to be like..." Then I saw Jack pointing in awe... haha
thanks for the response originalmilo, but im gettin "this video is unavailable in your country due to copyright restrictions" .. its cool if they block out the rest of the US, theyve earned it.. but at least grant the San Francisco Bay Area with access to the video of the song that contains the prophetic lyrics "he went to San Francisco, spent a year in outerspace.. with a sweet little San Franciscan girl".. never got why people said the song took place in NY.. LA and SF are mentioned twice more
awesome performance but.. what the hell happened to the official video for DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!! ???????? used to be all over youtube, now theres not a single copy.. just VANISHED.. and its the coolest freaking music video ever made for any song.. bring back the DLD VIDEO!!!!!!
that's some sound coming out of the violin. Amazing. the first few times I watched this I just presumed there was a lead guitarist somewhere that I couldn't see. Pretty amazing.
i was there and nick cave and the bad seeds were fucking class.the guy with the beard got drunk and decked jack white at the end of the nite.WHITE WAS A CUNT AND IM GLAD,well done gangiss cann
