white stripes hardest button to button

[banister7459]

ur all full of shit cos we all know it aint the drumming what its all about its all about the greatest showman of rock in modern times jacky white

[MuffFuzz]

This has to be my least favorite song by the stripes, but goddamn the live versions smoke the recorded version. So much more energy.

[hardestbuttontobutto]

yeah right man!

[Pantyh4x0rZ]

I really like the recorded version too.

[thomashayes12]

are they bro and sis or married

[hardestbuttontobutto]

they were married but they aren't bro'n'sis

[Eruj87]

"you are all douche bags, everyone knows that Meg is actually Jack's penis tapping out a beat. now thats multi tasking"

haha, nice said, man

your right

[jamiewhatwhat]

you are all douche bags, everyone knows that Meg is actually Jack's penis tapping out a beat. now thats multi tasking

[moshiemoro]

the drummer...megan white...shes my role model

[queerp]

i don't see why people complain so much about the drumming. sure it's easy but it jack works of it well and all together it sounds sweet. Seven nation army has probably the easiest beat of all their songs, but it sounds so cool.

[Lilmissjay18]

fuck all of you meg whites drumming is child like becouse they are a light hearted band who belive in story telling and melody not that shit metal drum solo fill type shit

[mongocaveman]

It looks as if it's my turn to agree with you...

but it is easier to keep a simpler beat than to keep a hard one, that is just plain old common sense.

[mongocaveman]

Meg's drumming is simplistic I don't think she's played a fill in her life but hey anybody who plays on stage knows that you would rather have a simplistic drummer who can keep the beat rather than a fancy one who loses the beat she amazes me in this regard.

[errafloater]

agreed, but drummers who loose the beat arent drummers anyway. is all about the beat

[thewhaler08]

ok, i'll set anyone who hates meg white on fire, but did she mess up at 3:13, or did they decide to end the song that way? i like the other way better.

[gothprincess666911]

Tisi Fuck u. this was 2003. plus she is good. bette than me. Jack isnt the whole band. i bet all u no about them is that their names r meg n jack. theyr both awesome n kick ass.

[tisichase]

HAHA. You could hold a tryout in any major city and find atleast 400 drummers better than meg.  You all just love her because of the image. JACK IS THE WHOLE BAND

[wsvlk]

Maybe so, but without meg thy would be just some other band, and not the white stripes.

[vyce51]

you don't get it, he didn't want a better drummer. how many drummers do you think would kill to be on the same stage.

[rhonh]

2 pople can make a band nice either way!!

[Roopy87]

Good performance, but the best live performance on a tv show of this song by the White Stripes has to be on Rove (Australian show).

I have the performance on tape and it was absolutely brilliant.

The song was played at a fast tempo and Jack was going insane on the vocals and guitar riffs.

[southrules]

I wore out a VHS recording of this in the day

[walrusnuggets2]

his airline guitars gone insane in a face melter sort of way

[groupieoftheyear]

is it just me or is meg white fucking hot!! ahh!

[tman7373]

fuck you. meg is amazing, jack is too.

[5tup1dm3]

they're both good so shut the fuck up

[tisichase]

she is hot in a weird way but she sucks at the drums. fooguy is right, jack is the whole band.

[bruiser07]

live on USA tv show... lol

[boltonlad18]

your watching a video of a band you don't like, you never listen to, and your just stupid by writing criticising comments about them for no reason, that's contradicting yourself, of course your a bad critic, your watching a band you don't even like, so what point are you trying to make?, keep your comments to yourself if you don't even like the band, no ones listening to you

[thomasmolander]

first off that isnt contradicting myself, i never said i liked them. 2nd how does criticizing a band that you like make me a bad critic? it just means i have a different opinion from you. 3rd, of course nobody is listening to me..im typing. and lastly evidently you are reading my comments, otherwise you wouldnt be writing giant responses. good day sir.

[boltonlad18]

course your contradicting yourself, your watching a band you don't like for no reason at all and putting childish comments for no reason at all, if you like them and you've found a fault in their playing, then maybe you'd have a valid point. but other than that your comments are pointless, find something else that's worth your comments, happy christmas

[thomasmolander]

p.s. it is somewhat embarissing that a 15 year old has better grammar than you. just thought i'd throw that in.

[boltonlad18]

yeah, at least i can spell, look at your writing lol. and most 15 year olds would'nt be so pointless as you, nice to hear from you

[Satchriani15]

The improv isn't something you appreciate unless you play guitar. Other wise, it just sounds weird (but it is good!)

[terrier2468]

Jack is soo amazing but his voice must hurt aftre live shows. I think it's worth it though

[paddawahn1986]

She´s looks sexy with her open hair.

[Dessmondo]

It's pure energy when Jack rapes his guitar!!!

Amazing band!!!

[drumboye21]

they really suck live

[jbf407]

they're awesome live. their recordings are boring compared to them live.

[imbaman1337]

so do you hun

[Squirelpie]

greatest musician of all time. along with dave grohl and mozart

[axis1250]

what type of guitar is that

[Dessmondo]

Its an 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Airline.

Amazing guitar!

[lee444333]

amen my friend

[Dessmondo]

Thank's brother!

[Dessmondo]

One of theyr greatest songs so simple but veeeery hocky

[peacefrog0521]

How's come every time I hear the intro for this song I think it's "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads? (or vice-versa)

[herrnenne]

The most amazing performance by them ever? In my opinion yes.

[bgny]

It's definitely one of the best I've seen.

[OneByze]

Call your taylor and say: i want jacks pants...:D

[Kofster77]

tailor

[indiejohn]

hey that open struming is with whammy and in the verse he just turn on big muff..im i right?

[bertie801]

yea ur right man oh yea everyone should get the bi muff, i have one, amazing pedal

[o0whitestripes0o]

dont think he uses a Big Muff here, only Whammy.

[fraglessone]

Don't get me wrong, white stripes are awesome, but a 10 year old could play this song on either guitar or drums.

[ardvark181]

i just want jack

[axis1250]

i want meg

[nirvana7782]

who doesnt?

[kendemyx9]

i want jack's pants.......

[wsvlk]

I want him and his pants. Love the white stripes.

[TRAmPLdUNdRfOoT]

Ill settle for his pants and half of his skills. And love the stripes too.

[wsvlk]

Yay, thats good. I love meg, too shes really cool, always barefoot, very interesting. I need to see them in concert before I die, or else I Will die....

[jason12261]

saw them live before.

amazing.

[wsvlk]

Oh, god, soooo lucky!

[jason12261]

i know.

[hardestbuttontobutto]

Yeahh the best ever!!!Jack white is GOD!!!!!

if somebody wants the tabs for the intro ask me!!!^^

[easyman182]

If ppl cant figure out that song themselves they shouldnt be playing the guitar

[popatire23]

i dont care what you say, jack and meg wahite were sent from the heavens and are here to stay! their newest album is one of their best

[hardestbuttontobutto]

yeahh you're right man!

[thomasmolander]

yeah! and the open strumming thing that jack does here is annoying. otherwise its one of their better performances ive seen though

[recycledair16]

yeah i noticed she fucked up seven nation armies to the point of making it unbearable to listen to live in most videos of that song ive seen. she plays alright in this video though

[thomasmolander]

meg white is a bad drummer. dont try to stand up for her and argue with me. i understand that she is supposed to be simplistic but even so she slows down and speeds up so much it ruins everything they try to do live

[boltonlad18]

you do even like the white stripes so why are you trying to undersatand them?, stop contradicting yourself, go and comment on some real shit music, this is beautiful music my friend. your an awful critic...bye

[thomasmolander]

first explain how im contradicting myself. and i understand that people like the white stripes because they are simplistic and their music is catchy, i just think that they sound really bad live and meg white doesnt deserve so much praise. dont call me a bad critic for stating my opinion.

[recycledair16]

i love this version more than live under blackpool lights and even the original. he sings it different in this one in the second verse

[EGarrett01]

Wow, the White Stripes kind of suck live.

[mingatuchadre]

you suck everywhere...

cheers!

[bookmdano]

They need a Bass player

[Montypytho17]

no they dont

[anarchyzoo]

lol

pause the video at zero second

so it says 00:00

and look at conan's face

it looks like he's cumming lol

[craZyTraiN530]

dude they always come out fresh they always mix things up and never keep it the same white stripes own all if u dont think so ur a fagg and deserve to die

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

im with u on that one!

every single live show they change things up sooo much

if somebody learned a white stripes song off a live versoin then u could prolly find the exact one

[wolfmother13245]

WHITE STRIPES RULE

[ReeceAndCody]

funtime u r right but it doesnt have to be didetech

[funtime9378]

no it really does have to be a digitech, try playing the song whit a diferent 1, the digitech adds thet extra bite, and plus most of the videos of the wh9ite stripes look a little closser at the whammy there red just liek the digitech

[ReeceAndCody]

yes i guess your right i thought it may have been a regiWHIP Sound whammy tho but yea u r right

[Numerater]

I dont exactly know what you guys are talking bout here, but i think he uses a Electro Harmonix Big Muff Phi Distortion Pedal in this performance.

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

he uses the big muff pi like u said and a digitech whammy wh-1 pedal and boss CS-3 Sustainer

[Numerater]

O ok, on the digitech whammy part i think its the Digitech Wammy 4 and not 1, almost the same except the 4 has more features.

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

idk

it's the newest one lol

[mingatuchadre]

he used the boss compressor like on 3 shows and then he left it, but he always use a mxr microamp like an overdrive :D

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

yea im just gonna saveu p for a digitech rp350 and get it all lol

[alanchelito19]

they rockk!

[mindfreak8000]

im a guitar player...but i LUV MEG WHITE!!!!!!!!

[Grinlord]

I love this song, but I prefer Jack's vocals more when he sings. he just kinda shrieks here. oh well. still a cool performance.

[thrash232]

Dude what guitar does jack use and he uses weired effects in Icky Thump.

[LisaLemonLime]

that's a vintage airline guitar from the sixties. effects are the big muff pi and a digitech whammy.

[funtime9378]

he uses a 1970's ish JB hutto signature airline guitar, the effects he uses are are a didetech whammy and bigmuff pi, if u want to purchase his guitar they sell a simpler version on eastwoodguitars . com and it looks preety much exactly the same.

[Numerater]

He uses a 1964, they stopped production in 1968. ANd i'm gonna get that guitar on there once I get some money, and on my other responce I didnt see that u listed the Big-Muff Pi.

[SNOOORRE]

they dont have a bassist. that is what make them stand out from the bunch. plus they have som awsome guitar riffs.

[MichaelIncognito]

No, they stand out beacuse jack writes great songs

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

and he owns guitar

and he just plain kool

[thegreatpattimo92]

5 stars from me just becuase its the white stripes

[queerp]

type "hansaunet" and watch his stripes cover it's pretty awsome. sounds a bit off but it's pretty cool.

[nexus382]

omg they dont have a bass player idiot its his guitar with an octaver effect i got one on my prosessor

[LedZeppelin222]

why are people like this? it was just a question, and no one really cares what you have for your professor. im sorry, i just really get annoyed when people feel like they have to show everyone they can how much they know about things

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

i know

it's so gay

if someone asks a qestion

then either ignore it or answer it

dont diss'em

u learn by asking questions

right?

right..

[bonscott992001]

where is their bassist

[grosa001]

jacks the man!!!

[judasnicknack]

dudes! there's just something about a chick that does the drums!

shes soooo.....fuckin hot!

i'm drunk

.....shes still hot

[CodyPospisil]

wow for a live version this is good if u ever find a video of a song like this done perfectly when theyre actually playing i will eat my couch

[luk3112]

Its gooood=]

[guitars223]

That was awesome, it was a little off but it was still a Grade A performance of that song. Besides, thier songs don't sound the same live as they do on record anyway.

[thesparksguitar]

huge nose

[thesparksguitar]

this is horrible

[timeforheroes27]

its a really shaky version

[silversanna]

GRR"!

[puzzdos]

You can get a guitar like Jack's from Eastwood Guitars.

[thesparksguitar]

how much is it

[notsomuchaguitarhero]

it's nowhere near asgood as jack's tho

his is a 1960 airline

eastwood guitars blow

it's a cheap look-a-like

u can't get his guitar nowadays unless some retard's selling it on ebay

:)

[Brujerio]

i want to fuck meg!!!i love when her tits dance like that!!!!

[reh629]

i love conan. he should have more week long musical guests.

[feedmecoolshit]

i knew he way back when he was just a babarian.

[Sheldo022]

rock and fucking roll

[6Mr6Crowley6]

gotta love the 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Airlines Guitar. THat thing is the shit. White Stripes rule. Gotta love Meg shes hot as hell!

[InsomniacDirectory]

Ya man, I love his guitar... Can you still buy anything like it?

[benjaminhibberd]

Some sites do a remake of it, I got one from america for like £550 in the end but the sitre i got it from has stopped making them

[rhcp27tom1]

love itt. meg looks hot heree !

[lde1023]

i so miss the two tone pants

[jibberjabber86]

She looks hot as usual.

[connormorrissey]

i love megs little pose

[fduno]

GREAT.

white stripes the best

[MonsewerBoobhead]

Meg has nice jiggly boobs.

[Twig6]

Agreed!

[Ahnyanka]

Your boobs tend to do that when you're playing the drums, git.

[joyntindie]

Great!!

Better than original!

[joyntindie]

Better than the original

[brunomacagnaniasdfgh]

white stripes you rock

[kekkola]

VERY GOOD!!!! ur the best Jack !!

[iammad160]

better than the original

[josephthl]

But then one could think... any GOOD drummer could play those parts, it would just be boring as hell. But at least he/she wouldn't make sure a devastingly horrible mistake on such an easy drum groove... It also shows how drumming really has nothing to do with technical ability, but in keeping the band together to create a pleasing sound, which she failed to do here.

[LaGirouette]

Devasatingly horrible?? Maybe you need to soften the adjectives there...I think devastatingly horrible would be dropping a stick, or swinging and missing...not something the average person doesn't even notice.

[janie19]

maybe he isn't trying to create a pleasing sound but a rough and raw sound? Maybe later in life he will make music more Michael Boltonesque for your easy listening pleasure :)

[Nirvana55NH]

2:43 min XD

hahah AaAaaa

[LittleAppleBlossom77]

yea what the hell bigmachine i love the white stripes live.. the raconteurs at vegoose were amazing live. best show ive ever seen.

[trock151]

i disagree with bigmachine i think they're amazing live especialy jack white's side project "the raconteurs" were amazing when i saw em live.

[irgifted]

Blaydenj - Jack has two mics set up, one where the mic would normally be positioned and one near Meg so he can go over to her and give her instructions and stuff, yet keep playing and start singing again without moving back to the main mic. Notice he deviates from the song tempo a lot but most of the time when he does that he's standing about two feet away from her making sure she sees him and likewise he her.

[lde1023]

this was my favorite week of conan

[epiphoneguy5471]

I love the White Stripes and I love the Digitech Whammy Jacks using

[bigmachine]

i love the white stripes, but they suck live !!!

[samster23]

This song's influenced by Talking Heads' Psycho Killer, clearly

[chowdaaaa]

this is the best version

[blaydenj]

intense! why does jack have two mics set up at each show?

[JonSchoen]

The two mics allow him to move around as he pleases and either sing facing the crowd or facing Meg.

[blaydenj]

oh alright then cheers mate, i thought there might've been a technical reason or something

[herrnenne]

The mic close to the drumset has also an echo, he often use that for choruses.

[heartion]

wow, that was flawless vocally esp since it was live

[silvercows]

how does he give the bass thing in the begennin

[uommalli]

with a digitech whammy pitch shifter, its -1octive setting orsom

[Billyatehiscat]

Conan loves the White Stripes. I love Conan and the White Stripes. Perfect.

[JSstrat]

its a digitech whammy pedal and its the same thing that making his guitar sound like a bass in the intro hes uses it in dozens of songs

[wammajam]

o ok do u know what hes set it to or anything or how hes working it

[NIN197666]

it's not a whammy...it's an Electro Harmonix POG.

[NIN197666]

Wait nevermind....I think the bass sound is a whammy, but I've seen pictures of his pedal board with a pog on it.

[slashnumberonefan]

no it isnt, its a digitech whammy pedal

[wammajam]

anyone know how hes getting that weird effect when he hits the open strings it looks lyk hes using some pedal

[JHock216]

The week the White Stripes were on Conan was the best.
