Awesome tune!best band in the fucking world,and I cant see why they don't get the recognition for it,mind you any thing jack does is awesome and he gel's well with Brendan and not forgetting J.Lawrence and Patrick,fucking awesome!
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.....
@jindars ROCK WILL NEVER DIE!!!! Have you seen the different sections at Best Buy? WAY bigger selection of rock than any other genre. Rock will never die, my friend. Especially with people like Jack White in the bizz.
I've tried to like these guys' other stuff but this is the only song that gets me going but i'll be damned if it isn't one of the best songs i've ever heard.
I never realised how much Patrick Keeler (the drummer) put into this song i mean if you keep an eye on him the whole time you will see he is really smacking those things a lot more than you think.
@ilovejackandmeg yea really no one cares. singing isnt as hard as playing an instrument. unless its scat. little jacks an amazing bass player. lay off. the performance was excellent
Best drummer you've ever seen? Are you 12 years old? He certainly is good, as are the other band members, but c'mon, dude. You are 12 years old and/or his nephew if you mean that.
Patrick is an excellent drummer but I implore you to keep looking if you think he's the best. Terry Bozzio, Mark brzezicki, Neil Peart, and on and on and on.
Thank god someone agrees with me about neil peart man.... i don't want to hear a guy dancing around a 25 piece rotating drumset for 10 minutes... I dig drummers who are dynamic and tasteful... keelers drumming on their recordings is pretty sick!!!
a little too much dissonance in the supposed "harmony" near the start but when they perform this song well (this isn't one of their better versions IMO) it's a good listen. I just hate that I work at American Eagle and every hour or so they play this live version of the song when there are ones out there that the harmony is better attained.
I fully agree with this statement, there wasn't harmony at the beginning, and you honestly didn't deserve thumbsdowns for saying so. There are better versions, and anyone can pick up that no sense of harmony was achieved in this take. People should understand that it's not a rag on the whole band, just one small component of one song. Critique improves work. Now if you received thumbsdowns because you work at American Eagle, well, not going to argue that one.
haha agreed...he's seen better haircuts. He has the best cuts with The White Stripes though...his best hair was like in the White Blood Cells era. It's what the band that counts but still. I thought Get Behind Me Satan was his worst hair days but when 2008 came I saw it and was like "HOLY SHIT!"
haha his haircut now is a bit crazy.... it might be left over from when he played Elvis in Walk Hard haha. His best was during the Broken Boy Soldier days i think
There is hope that good music can still happen and this is proof.Radio has nothing left to offer me except worn out songs and cookie cutter crap.Thanks for keeping it fresh guys.
that may be true, but he's still an attention fiend. at the end of this show he deliberately fell into and smashed all the amps at the front of the stage.
I think they both have awesome voices but I do have to say the first time I heard The Switch and The Spur, Benson singing, I was blown away! His voice in that song in untouchable it's so good!
this is the version they put on the single. if u go to the website and check it out it says this is on there. apparently there is an acoustic version that they did back stage or something too
Yeah if you're a fan you have to...i saw him for first time at lolla 08 and the man is a performer. I have to see him with the stripes before I die (worst feeling ever when icky thump tour was canceled after I bought two tickets for aragon ballroom in chicago)
The new album is leaps and bounds better then the old one, check it out sometime, you might just become a big fan. I didn't really like them atall after the first album, but as of this album they're one of my favorite bands.
I don't know, I kind of liked the Beatles-ness of the first album. The second album is definitely more of a rock record, but I think they both have a lot going for them.
this song is amazing. i absolutely love you guys and you've inspired me to learn guitar! please, please, pleeeeease have some concerts in south florida sometime in the future!!
i dont think so...if he was so concentrated he would be the best bass player in the world...jacks not so "concentrated" but he's one of the greatesr musicians ever...how do you explain that?
