Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground (Live in TOTP)

[Tank23333]

Top of the pops... ^^ epic

[DGENERATE07]

imagine jack white's face if they asked him to mime on this show...

[vhalenhound]

Look at how Meg is like falling asleep and Jack's having a damn seizure up there. God damn. He is the reason I play music

[kraigasher204]

i love how jack feels every note of his songs

[RedTV8888]

i always forget that this is a love song

[thenightwatchman3]

Jack White is so old school!! Fucking love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[leonidas2256]

Im in love with his sister,marry me pls!!!

[Mdebify]

@leonidas2256

Isn't that girl his (now) ex-wife?

[crashboom8]

im related to that guy ugh my dad told me lastnight ugh ugh uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggggg­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[MrBobman360]

@crashboom8 You mean Jack White? Lucky.....

[TheHuMoCa]

I fell in love with the big muff pi because of this song

[WinstonDisraeli]

I hope my neighbours like this song

[mance02]

0:59 - 1:03 The Mad Guitar Scientist.

[willmystery]

they aren't brother and sister though...

[jeromicito]

In 2002 they played The Fillmore in San Francisco and opened their set with this song. The drum was heavier, the lyrics more melancholy laden, the guitar more encased in feedback. But this version has Jack adding his quick take of the Iraq invasion as it was happening just as he opens the song, making this performance rise beyond the confines of just about any other rock song.

[dirtycoffee22]

what does he say at the beginning?

[jeromicito]

@dirtycoffee22 this was on the eve of the Iraq invasion. He said, "yeah, it's a stick-up, let's not make it a murder." Rather prescient.

[KitScared]

love him and his hair! xD



[Sheebeedeebee]

@oyoyoyo44 i doubt meg likes anal bro

[PISSED8]

man if only we had some stuff like top of the pops and Jules Holland here in the US man i'm moving to the UK

[ArcticEmmet]

@PISSED8 Top Of The Pops is dead. It ended like 5 years ago

[iHacksorzz]

learnt this on guitar yesterday...myself! just having trouble with the quick switch from C chord to D chord part..

[JacobRumsey]

@iHacksorzz Just keep practicing! Your muscle memory will get used to it and eventually you'll just start playing whatever chord you're thinking of.

[dirtycologie]

meg is so hot here. . . ..

[Rootsfendher]

RAWWWWWWWW!

[ddaly1]

RIP white stripes

[3Nerdy]

My favorite dead leaves and the dirty ground performance. Im going to miss this band till the day I die. No one has passion like Jack does, (same to Meg). Your music is going to stick around- so were not alone.

I fucking love you guys- your performances will always send chills down my spine.

[NNDMProductions]

the intro has such a gritty and dirty (lol) sound then softness :d

[mikebels559]

@NNDMProductions thats the electroharmonix muff pi my frieenddddd

[Levanark]

The performance was a stick up, and Jack Murdered it!

[jungleVIP]

"brother and sister combo jack and meg"

[namsseff]

I wish you could like something more than once

[RocketFistband]

brother and sister combo, Jack and Meg, also know as the White Stripes.

[goldfish881]

@RocketFistband they're not brother and sister they're a divorced couple

[RocketFistband]

@goldfish881 i was trying to spread the slander that the band originally spread when they first became a band.

[RocketFistband]

@goldfish881 and also, the announcer dude said that same exact quote at the end of the video hahaha

[guillotinebaby]

I love how he laughs at 1:22 :)

[McChochy]

this song sounds like shit in live.... All stick to the recording thank you very much

[Pes10Stuff]

fuckin amazing

[thommytaranto]

"This is a stickup, let's not make it a murder"

[aurlis2012]

FUCKING BONERIFIC

[tompent]

2:21 he sounds like Elvis!

[94bull94]

no 15 minute solos, no boring riffs, pure living packed into a 3-minute eargasm

[gravitycavity8]

so fuckin wild

[BauerCCMReebokHockey]

This is a stick-up, let's not make it a murder <3 Jack White for President

[AnthonyArago]

Just saw a couple covers of this with 3 guitarists playing and Jack's SINGLE guitar sounds more powerful!

[5044574]

@captainoamerica you obviously know nothing about the white stripes

[ryandude1994]

@captainoamerica so you've never seen a sound out of sync with video on youtube?

[TheChickenOrTheEgg14]

@captainoamerica ever heard of a delay? it means that the sound isn't perfectly synced with the video, and it proves that you're retarded.

[favianutube]

@captainoamerica LOL dude you're on crack, you're theory is based on the fact that the audio and video is not synced correctly, that's the fault of the person who uploaded this video

[BeABand]

@captainoamerica Its not synced. Listen to the original its nothing like it .

[ethanstringworks]

hes weird. but coo.

[exploremagic23]

when he hits the distortion his guitar sounds like its ready to explode...

[JahirCasablancas]

I just can't stop listening this song o0o

[E7OO]

what effect did he uses in the dirty parts?

[Khooper38]

@E7OO Electro-Harmonix Big Muff

[E7OO]

tks ;)

[BlackMonkey24]

@E7OO BIG MUFF

[vthokiefan0007]

what the fuck? kurt cobain died before jack even learned how to play guitar..... i'm pretty sure you just made that up to glorify kurt cobain...

[Christian123Renerig]

Yeah. Johnny Depp reminds my of John Dillinger and John Dillinger reminds me of Jack. Every Name starts with J :D

[fbd24]

jack white is the answer to todays music problems

[Geekernator21]

@fbd24 he also doesn't take shit from hispters

[kapnzach]

@fbd24 no durr



[angryfurniture]

@fbd24 too late hes sold out so if any new white stripes album comes out it wont sound at all like this. just like there last album. CRAP!

[JWIIIman]

[D3YD]

@fbd24 YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH, SIR.

[belongin]

[vinniedurrant]

@fbd24 Lol's ........ you best believe it.

[theairnearmyfingers]

[nubbinnoob]

i think you mean awesomesauce.

[GrimKage]

I thought Jack and Meg used to be married, least what wiki said

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

Don't know why, but Jack reminds me of Johnny Depp

[mikk231]

@BlisterOnTheMoon yeah he kinda looks like willy wonka

[KUNAIUCHICHA]

me too :)

[doogdoogdoog]

@BlisterOnTheMoon Because he looks a bit like him?

[karlwerner89]

@BlisterOnTheMoon cous deep is handsome like jack ! ;p

[EpicLemurz]

@BlisterOnTheMoon Wrong. Johnny Depp reminds you of Jack White.

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

@EpicLemurz Yea, whatever.

[bnin90]

@BlisterOnTheMoon johnny depp + sigourney weaver = jack white. think about it.

[queerp]

@BlisterOnTheMoon i think it's the haircuts and the don't give a shit about the media attitude.

[o0GeoHar0o]

@BlisterOnTheMoon yes!! Especially the johnny depp of tim burton films such as the firt films! *__*

[roscoolboi]

@BlisterOnTheMoon i have always thought this, good call dude

[TheSwollenPickle]

@BlisterOnTheMoon No, Johnny Depp reminds you of Jack White

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

@TheSwollenPickle thats same shit!

[nederbassie]

@BlisterOnTheMoon

maybe the same crazy motherfuckers.

[jckracing2]

@BlisterOnTheMoon I always think that. I think Johnny Depp is White's Schizophrenic alterego.

[Mariloww]

@BlisterOnTheMoon Eduardo mãos de tesoura ?! (edward hands of the treasures?!)

[Mariloww]

@Mariloww opa Edward Scissorhands... damn google translator...

[Mariloww]

Edward Scissorhands , sorry ...dawn google translator

[audi5thousand]

@Mariloww LMAO @ Edward Hands of the Treasures

[janie19]

@BlisterOnTheMoon saw "benny and joon" a few days ago. i see what you mean!

[RoflPopcicleStick]

its not that he doesnt want to be there, he just like plays, he doesnt EVER sound the way he did in the album version, its the mood he is in at the time

[askrere]

Is jack white not wanting to be there? his singing seems purposely off and strange

[seamonkey360]

@askrere Hes singing with feeling

[solidraiden1]

Trash talk somewhere else. This place is for expressing our unconditional love for Meg and Jack :-P

Love! Damn, they're so young and cute

[askrere]

@solidraiden1 is it? that sounds creepy and un wanted

[solidraiden1]

Yeah just reading it now and it is kinda creepy. Sorry bout that

[KeepRockin55]

I havent seen the Stripes live yet, but I did see The Raconteurs rock the Filmore Detroit a year ago... the Filmore was literally fucking rocking and swaying at its foundation.. one of the wildest live shows I've ever seen!

[awesomehatguy]

Everytime they come to Minnesota its an 18 and up show and i am only fourteen so it sucks ass!

[jengasfrerer]

lol, at the end the host says that theyre a brother and sister band :)  theyre married! (well they used to be)

[hsp882]

no silvertone amp, only fenders here? i heard he dosent travel with them because there like 200lbs

[Toastbitten]

this is my fav song of all time

[IWasBored12]

Might be mine too

[IWasBored12]

I wonder if I could make this my wedding song if I ever get married

[guesswatsmyname]

hahah yea, u totally shud

[mangoblu123]

I remember the day my brother said you got to hear this song dead leaves. So we waited to hear it on the radio and finally looked it up and listened prolly 20 times and we both thought that kid has got it!

[craig4fsu]

So raw.I love it.

[sheepers411]

I hate that I can't embed this.

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

Me too!

[p4cm4n182]

"yeah, a stickup, lets not make it a murder"

[shizzel8590]

what is that from?

[supinator]

brother sister combo, yea right.

[trogdor711]

he pulled an elvis at 2:22

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

She's not the best drummer but good enough. I like her. One of the very few bands I really like in this decade is this band right here. Great band if you ask me! Most other bands I hear these days and have heard throughout this decade... Real shitty! Since the beginning of Rock, this decade is the worst. IMO at least.

[wwgt]

uhhh, with a set like she has..

 and I dont mean drums.....

she is the most beautiful looking and sounding drummer to come down the rock n roll turnpike

thank you very much

Meg..no disrespect to you ..your awesomeand

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

@wwgt She does have a nice set indeed! Don't you just want to play with 'em? Getting my stick ready to bang away! :D (I might have taken this all too far.) But she is hot and I would like to jam with her. (On drums. No innuendo intended for that last sentence but sure, I'd jam with her in that sense too.)

[cuoregenoatoromerda]

why don't you fuck sometimes?

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

To be honest, I just did 2 and a half hours ago.

[cuoregenoatoromerda]

yes, but I was talkin' about fuckin' without payin'

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

Yeah. You're right. I shouldn't accept the money. Makes it illegal.

[cuoregenoatoromerda]

yes but I was talkin' about real life

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

Oh, real life? No, I do not pay for sex . Not that there's anything wrong with it. I'm not one to judge your lifestyle. Whatever makes you happy I say. I say tomato, you say tomahto.

[awesomehatguy]

Sorry i accidently thumbs downed yours i meant to up it

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

It's cool.

[laukemp1]

Ya got that one right!

The new band music scene has been a friggin wasteland for years, with The White Stripes being the only real breath of fresh air. You have to go all the way back to Guns-n-Roses to find anything truly outstanding. It's a shame that there is nothing out there.

[CallSignMusic]

Well, Muse is pretty good too though. But yeah, you're right.

[Nimzi]

what are you talking about.. there's the "The" bands..

The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Hives and the Vines.. Arctic Monkeys.. Julian Casablancas is putting a solo album in 2 weeks.. and the Strokes are putting out their new album in a couple of months.. Arctic Monkeys just made a new album.. There's plenty of good rock out there.. You just too ignorant.. and G'n'S weren't that good..

[shizzel8590]

Are you fuckin serious?

have you not listened to Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, Killers, Strokes, Kings of Leon, Pavement, Sunny Day Real Estate, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Mountain Goats, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bon Iver, Kevin Devine, Animal Collective, Death Cab, and Jesus! ELLIOTT SMITH.

But i guess you're right, nothing was as good as GunsNRoses

[bryt12693]

nirvana was the last band to completely mindfuck the music world. We need a band with as much of an impact as they did to get out of the shitty pop music that the music scene is right now

[favre4ever1995]

Dear god i hope that day comes soon.

[KieranTVogel]

@bryt12693 couldn't agree more.

[Timeconsumer9]

and thats why kurt cobain raised his hand to young jack and told him to continue to completely mind fuck the music world and then jack found meg and formed the white stripes and completely DESTROYED the music! AND they have ONLY TWO band members! Thank god for the white stripes! =))

[NiklasARSON]

im pretty sure kurt cobain did not do that,

[Timeconsumer9]

i was jk...

[90sGrungeLives69]

@NiklasARSON hes saying when kurt died he passed the beacon to jack u dumb fuck

[ethanstringworks]

@90sGrungeLives69 naaah, kurt is never out of pitch, but jack is like never on pitch, but it still sounds cool

[Yooniverzal]

@ethanstringworks

haha

true.

[KingElessar999]

@Timeconsumer9 That story is better than the Bible!!!

[stryngtheory]

I predict that Jack White will be cast as the Joker in all upcoming Batman movies.

Just saying...

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

I hope not. That last Batman was way overrated. One of the most boring movies I've ever seen. Never want to see the Dark Knight ever again. Just my opinion.

[StereoTypeA]

based on this? hell yeah lol

[Owly95]

awesome xD

[freeloader97]

ex husband and wife

[310guitars]

haha the expression on jack's face is always like "duhh"

[AlternativRocking]

best Liveband :D

[Owly95]

No question

[solidraiden1]

This song is even better than Seven Nation Army...

speechless

[hgldypgldy]

godlike

[LillyCandyCane]

I like Jack's hair. And Meg's too. But Jack's is more fun.

I just noticed some loser claps out of time with the beat.... Ha.

Love the WS.

[hansTowns]

haha, its funny to laugh at peaple :)

but i think its because the video's out of synch :P

[LillyCandyCane]

hehe yeah maybe but still it looks like hes still the only one out of time which still makes it lame

[mrcharlesbateman]

they are ex hubbie n wife aren't they not brother and sister.... could be wrong but i'm pretty sure i read it in an interview with them?

[DruggyHamster]

ye, dats true

[nyfy]

he sometimes look insane

i love that :D

[LillyCandyCane]

aww cute they look so young :):)

when it was on, i hated totp, but now its gone, i really really miss it..... i guess that's what you call a love/hate relationship.

the show pretty much died when they moved it to sunday anyway, this is when it was on a friday, the good old days

[colemckelvie]

this is a stick up, don't make it a murder

[aquariussouldier]

Sweeeeeeeeeeet

[AJ78910]

not good.

[benjydoesit]

Jack White Cold Kills This One, He Is Amazing

[jag737]

bet the teens didnt beleive wat was goin on!!!!!!

[southerndandy89]

i thought TOTP used playback?

[Mijntroep]

You think Jack would playback?

[LillyCandyCane]

only sometimes.

most bands played live it was people like britney who mimed

[KirkHammett131290]

jack white, ville valo and johnny depp are cool...they seem to be similar to be

[autoinfanticideband]

1:49

the hair!!!!

[nyfy]

ooomfg

[RonPaulmakesmehard]

Meg is totally adorable

[earthchild888]

awseome!,they're soooooo good live

[skooleskool]

1:00

[JebrohDiah]

All I'm saying is that don't knock something you cant do

[LedZeppelin222]

this video rules, its been one of my favorites for a long long time. i've never figured out what he says at the beginning though?

[1MrScruff1]

this is a stick-up, lets not make it a murder..

[BubbaABCDE]

Boring in large doses, but this cut fucking ROCKS.

[joekane91]

jack deserves a better drummer, meg sucks

[LumberjackDeChristo]

He likes how she keeps the beat. It goes by what the White Stripes ultimately stand for which is innocence.

[hansTowns]

whaha yeah right... they stand for innocence.

they ultimately stand for rocking the place down to the ground!
