  • OK Jack White has made it so a horrible drummer can play along side him to not take away from him being the spotlight. C.C. DeVille was a horrible guitarist but he worked fine with Poison but that does not take away the fact that he was a horrible player.

  • He is great but that girl is horrible. My 3 year old plays better drums then her. She looks like she has no idea what she is doing and playing the minimum you can actualy play and still say you are playing the drums

  • Comment removed

  • @TheMillerJA I don't hear a need for a different style, If she played heavier it would distract me from Jack. It seems to have a good balance the way it is, This cover is not like the Flat Duo Jets' cover.

  • When was this? :) :D

  • Love it love it love it. This is one of my favorite videos of the stripes EVER.

  • Really! Well you definitely have my sympathies if u had to watch these two ass clowns go at it....You're about as desperate as they get ....Dummy!

  • @dakota7609 Just checked your profile. Your 54 and a war obsessed twit from Texas. And I was just beginning to like Texans too, but I won't stereotype. You don't have anything relating to music or who you think are better bands. Again, you have no idea what it's like to be a part of MY generation with what we had been fed before The Stripes came along, nor do I expect you to care. By the way, this isn't Meg's best performance on the drums. She can whack the shit out of 'em. 

  • @MattHatter Let me give you a little touch-up MATT brain  dead!

    grrrrrrnt...FART!

  • @dakota7609 A big belch would have been better. Can you burp on command? I would have enjoyed that.

  • @MattHatter LOL

  • Hey killer did mommy give u your fruit loops now run along to bed!

  • The flat duo jets did this song and yes jack white was inspired by the duo jets but also many others,He is doing a version like the original here as done by gene vincent.

  • Shittiest over rated band ever....and what the fuck is that shit on the drums...what an insult to every good drummer on earth!!

  • @dakota7609 theyre underrated and also u dont hav to be a great drummer too know how to drum

  • @qckiller10 OMG You're brain dead! You wouldn't know the difference between a professional drummer and grade school flute player! go back to bed and ask mommy for some more fruit loops, Dummy

  • @dakota7609 I dont wanna argue with someone like you, have a great day :)

  • @dakota7609 You know there were people like you back in the days when The Ramones were starting out. "What's this crap? They ain't no ZEPPELIN!" The White Stripes are NOT overrated, if only for the fact they were the only band to introduce "blues rock" to a brain dead generation who thought Likin Park was the best thing ever. You have no idea what it was like for someone like ME to see these two on SNL and scream out praises to God above after it was over. No idea!

  • classic blues riff like it who is he copying here?

  • @Randy4herEra Flat Duo Jets- Crazy Hazy Kisses (who play this 1000x better not trying to hate though)

  • flat duo. jack's insp.

  • love this ..

  • I must admit....This band is worst sounding peice o shit ive ever heard in my whole life just short of crap i mean rap....Please go hide in a closet and never come out again..im out of pepto bismall now i gotta go take a diahrea dump!!

    PS....Will someone please shoot that fucking drummer before i hang myself!!!!

  • @dakota7609 trololololol

  • @WeirdoniaMusic I'm not so sure. It's getting harder and harder to tell with people.

  • @dakota7609 DONTCHA WANNA WANNA SANCA?!

  • Jesus God, that's horrible. Just cringe-worthy. And anyone who thinks Meg is a good drummer has never heard a good drummer.

  • I like her hair, very cute.

  • i like te flat duo jets version, it's more intense and angry.

  • YER BLUES......(BEATLES) pretty much!!

    

  • @mate6mty ANY BLUES/ROCK SONG.........(anyone) pretty much!!!!!!!

  • @rhkiku and i think you mean rock n roll

  • @rhkiku @rockfan363 or anyone else of that rockabilly and rock n roll category

  • @mate6mty Not just the beatles dude. The Beatles don't really define what you are talking about, no offence. I think the best answers would be Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, or Elvis.

  • ecoutez la version GENE VINCENT ca vous prends les tripes

  • Johnny Carrol

  • I heard the other covers & I prefer this one.

    Then again, I am biased.

    Anyway, all of our music tastes differ, let's just appreciate that this wonderful song is being covered, shall we?

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't this song really called "Crazy Hazy Kisses?" 

  • @sparkytrick Nope, it's called Baby Blue... For whatever reason the Flat Duo Jets cover has that title.

  • @Lucifersteapot No, it's a very old Blues song, many artists have covered it with Different titles, but the Original is Titled "Crazy Hazy Blues"

  • @sparkytrick No thats what the Duo Jets called it, it's a way old Blues song, the Original Title is "Crazy Hazy Blues"

  • this is off the hook...soul personified.

  • Elvis would be proud.

  • @lefty5757 Yes he would, as would Gene Vincent who did this.

  • spastic fantastic!

  • warum kann ich bloss Frauen (außer Evelyn Glennie) am Schlagzeug nicht ernst nehmen?? Grobmotorisch und steif und verkrampft die meisten...

  • Awesome, live the White Stripes but Dex Romwebber's does this so much better! check out the Flat Duo Jets Version- it's called called 'crazy hazy kisses'

  • @barbicaine Totally agree... that can't really be topped though Dex is a total monster.

  • i hope you all go and listen to the Gene Vincent version over at anneesvinyl channel to contemplate how both versions are so great and Jack and Meg captured the feel of original - Meg's drumming is a very important part of that - and made it their own with Jack's intensity and - well - let's not try to put it into words.. just go have a listen... would have been nice if Gene could hear this but he is listening in heaven.

  • HIS VOCALS ARE UNBELIEVABE HERE!!

  • just shows how good Dexter really is......

  • This song is actually, Crazy Hazy Kisses. See Flat Duo Jets video here on youtube for the hallmark performance of this song.

  • @jude999 The song is baby blue, crazy hazy kisses is just a remake of Baby blue by gene vincent, me thinks

  • theres WAY to much hate on this page

  • Comment removed

  • I kinda wanna see the Flat Duo Jets get back together and tour with The White Stripes. Duel of the Rock N' Roll Duos!

  • I prefer Dex's vocals and Jack's guitar.

  • No tiene el Power de Dexter.

  • Honestly, I'd say the Flat Duo Jets version is better. I love the White Stripes, and Jack is my hero, but this version does not have the energy to it that Dex puts in theirs.

  • I wanna pull on Megs pigtails.

  • waste of time

  • i like the jets version better. meg isnt fit to play that song

  • sometimes 2 halves don't make a whole

  • @pastcheck It does in this case, bud.

  • Sounded a bit Heart Break Hotel ish. The beauty of borrowing from the generation before is the present generation doesn't know you didn't invent it. I thought Led Zeppelin invented the blues. As long as people explore the roots there is nothing wrong with repackaging a traditional music.

  • @79thstreetsoundstage

    exactly! Everything's just built on inspiration

  • Ah you are a bunch of killjoys. People, Meg has been drumming the same way for 13 years now and I notice she's a lot richer and more famous than you. Doesn't that tell you something?

  • @LillyCandyCane Yes, virtuosity on an instrument doesn't exist any more, but I do like the White Stripes for the most part.

  • i love how you can hear all the girls scream when hes singing there whatta rock n rolla

  • whoaaa that was badass

  • my song :)

  • Jack is such a douche.

  • @somogendogen

    and your an idiot..

  • what does he use on his whammy, is it 1 octave up or 2 octaves up?

  • @PatMurph245 most of the songs just one. But sometimes 2 or one down...

  • From someone who isnt a drummer megs simplicity is what i dig i want something to tap my foot to, to enjoy listening to not to watch how murderous of a solo they can knock out. You kick ass for all of us females everywhere as well as "bigtop" asseted women too. Hope u guys tour again.

  • Hey check out my page where I do a boat load of covers by tons of artist including Mr. Jack. Thank ya.

  • Oh, people. She's making more money than you anyway, so just quit yer complaining. No one cares about your opinion on "technique", to be frank.

  • See simple is amazing, you dont have to go crazy with complex junk, if you can tap your foot to it like it, it just goes to show you, and pink floyd is an exception

  • People who criticize meg's drumming dont realize that she is supposed to play very simple and primitive. Thats why jack wanted her to drum for him.

  • this also annoys me, jus because your good on an instrument doesnt mean you have a heart for it

  • Thompsonthetube, you are exactly right. She's one of my favorite drummers, and I've been a drummer for over 25 years. Playing something simple and resisting the temptation to throw in everything but the kitchen sink is something that most drummers never really understand.

  • only slightly

  • Comment removed

  • @treetoptop

    ahahahahahaa

  • @treetoptop uaghhh i duno man would you really wana see that?

  • @treetoptop  Or if she drummed with her tits, now that'd be better.

  • @treetoptop why does this have to be about sex .the music doesn't seem to be the issue?a drummer is a drummer!i wish i could do the job she does!

  • Comment removed

  • She may not be the best drummer. But she is pretty much the muse of the White Stripes.

  • Comment removed

  • I totally agree. She is the perfect drummer for this band. And this band is incredible.

  • @zoso1019

    That's the whole point. Complexity within simplicity.........

  • ~~Gene Vincent Did This Song....~~

  • kind of prefer the Flat Duo Jets version

  • @Scheckywhite I love the Flat Duo Jets version of Baby Blue as well. God, they were amazing.

  • even if meg is not bonzo from led zeppelin with her drumming ,i find her very entertaining to wach her play..as for jacks style he puts alot of energy and both show great talant.

  • It was a joke.  She came from behind a bar.

  • I read that somewhere, Jack met her in a bar she worked at. As for all the monkey's and her being the most important part. I have an opinion (It's mine-and can't be wrong). She is the inspiration and catalyst for what Jack White does. Her drumming is what she does, it is not the most important thing, but she is.

    Also with out Meg White, the is no Jack White. Only John Anthony Gillis :)

  • you know what Jack and Meg dont have a set list. Jack just starts to play and she follows. This is probably the first time they have ever played this songs. Jack even says that he throws Meg curve balls just to see what would happen.

  • @funkyjunky1232 they rehearse you half a meatball. they just dont have a playlist. there is a difference.

  • she's perfect she's doing everything she's supposed to do

  • Fuck all you guys.

    I dig this.

  • You fools. Meg is the most important part of this band. She is a great drummer. You don't have to play every damn roll in the world at 280 beats a minute to be good. If she played differently, they wouldnt have the white stripes sound and songwriting! Quit judging and just accept it.

  • allright meg is not the most important part of the band. how could she be? she doesnt write any of the songs and everything is controlled by jack. it is true that her primitive drumming is a major part of the sound, but you cant say shes the most important part, that just makes you look like an idiot.

  • Whatever man, obviously you're not a fan. And i can see, all you do is hate. But fine, dont argue with me, argue with jack. Jack has said she is the most important part. Deal with it. Jack works off of her style. That makes her the most imprtant part. Duh!

  • actually I'm a gigantic fan, I'm just not an idiot like you're sounding right now. Yea I have heard Jack in interviews say that, but lets be real. Jack White could have a chimpanzee drumming for him an he would still write a killer song. Megs drumming is a major part, I am not denying that.

  • @jimilittle have you forgotten jack white? the most amazing guitar player since blues rock n roll died? you dont play to a style of drumming. her drumming permits him to get away with how he plays but the band would be nothing without jack white.

  • @Gorlon1111 THANK YOU!

  • Supperzappper, well.....get that kid on stage and quit bitchin' :o)

    Eat polished rice if you will, I love mine real.

  • My 9 year old kid can play drums better than Meg.Nick Knox from the Cramps was a minimalist drummer but he had style and speed too.

  • I know the "chicks" name. And doing a "minimalist" thing is fine...if said minimalists have talent. Thanks

    Jack can play...meg cannot

  • This might be a lame question, but does anyone know what he has around his neck? Looks like an old dogtag.

  • it is hard to watch that chick bang the drums. She is awful.

  • ok apparently you arent a white stripes fan. her name is meg white and yes she isnt an amazing drummer. but they are doing it on purpose cuz this band is minimalist. hence why he only ever wears red black or white.

  • but listen to the grooooooove

  • Comment removed

  • to theblobber saying that it is hard to watch meg play the drums i say to you... well dont watch it then.

  • this cover has nothing on the flat duo jets. mind you i dont think anyone can come close to dext. he makes jack look really tame.

  • @whitestripebuzz just on this song

  • Flat Duo Jets

  • Inspired.

  • glasshouse?

  • Gotta love jack white ,er i think thats his name.

  • yeah dext- I mean jack is pretty cool

  • his li'l sister's hot.

  • Older sister.... but actually x-wife

  • whatever

  • That's the the sound he wants. I heard he tells her not to practice.

  • she's sweet!

  • This would make a great medley with Heartbreak Hotel.

  • why would they do that... it would ruin the simplicity in the band!!!!

  • oh okay

  • @kissrev1 thats a terrible idea. would take away from the duo

  • They can cover anything well. Theyre The White Stripes jackass

  • wel hell...i thought it was baby blue by bad finger! they probably couldn't even cover it very well.

  • hella good cover.

  • Mmmmm White Stripes.

  • Jack will tell you... he gets this from Dexter Romewebber of Flat Duo Jets

  • sounds a little like Motor City Is Burning by MC5

  • WE NEED YOU JACK

  • Jack White the best thing to happen to music in this decade.

  • ahmen

  • @markallenkellner I believe the best thing to happen to pop culture in general there is no other personality I have enjoyed more from the past 20 years than him. Of course Im young and I can't stop listening to his music. So my judgement may be cloudy.

  • @markallenkellner Meg is to drumming what George Bush is to politics. Lucky, well loved, and terrible in every respect,

  • @markallenkellner There's better punk blues and related genres then the White Stripes. They are just popular. Flat Duo Jets, Gun Club and the Oblivians.

  • @markallenkellner Hell yes, you're exactly right!

  • @markallenkellner Try watching the live version by Flat Duo Jets. It's called Hazy Crazy Kisses on Youtube. The White Stripes are just lame wannabes.

  • @theonlybyrone wouldn't say lame wannabes, maybe just fans paying a tribute. but the flat duo jets vid is definitely one of the most amazing things i've ever seen!

  • @luttrell321 True enough. That is just a matter of opinion. I just get the vibe that Jack is a poser. He seems to me like he's trying too hard. Again, that's only opinion and not fact.

  • @theonlybyrone trying to hard to do what, pose like who, its stated his hereo are bluesmen, favorite rock band led zepplin, if anything he prolly has the biggest fanbase of poser out there currently, just because hes such beastly muscisian everyone wants to be like him, find any other bands that are actually playing rock and blues and are actually famous, and not just famous but extremely talented muscically

  • @Dookiebutt47 Look, it's all subjective. All I am doing is stating my opinion. I think he is trying to hard to be a combination of all of his influences. In this case, in this song, he's trying too hard to be like Dexter. I feel that it is a forced performance. I feel that Dexter would wipe the floor with this kid. I feel that most people are fooled by Jack's act. I'm not trying to start a fight with you. You don't feel the same as I about Jack. Let's just leave it at that. Peace.

  • @theonlybyrone dexter was a good for nothing muscision, he contributed 1% to modern rock, Jack White is probaly the only muscisian actually playing his music, so to say dexter would wipe the floor with jack is just stupid because dexter was just artist, a good one at that, but a terrible muscisian and obvoiusly he hasnt gone very far in life

  • @Dookiebutt47 So, you know Dexter personally? That's the only conceivable way that you can definitively state that Dexter has not gone very far in life. Like I said before, I'm not trying to start a fight with you. I'm just stating my opinion. If you don't like it, that is just fine with me. Best of luck to you.

  • @Dookiebutt47 EL OH FUCKING EL, Dex is fucking amazing and covers this song a million times better than Jack White even though I love Jacks music but seriously haha dont hate!

  • @Dookiebutt47 Dexter a terrible musician? You must be smoking something very strong, or else your brain is just naturally lacking.

  • @Dookiebutt47

    your couldn't be more wrong with this statement, It doesn't even deserve a response.

  • @upinthemgutz27 and yet u still gave it one, whats that say about you eh?

  • @Dookiebutt47, You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground. Dexter Romweber was tearing it up when Jack White was crapping in his diaper. (No disrespect to Jack intended) Dex and Crow live and bleed rock & roll. It's in their blood and souls. I think Dexter is a fucking great guitar player. Who the fuck are you and why do we give a fuck what you say? Give Dexter his due. After all, what the fuck have YOU done that matters? How far have YOU gone in life?

  • Comment removed

  • @Dookiebutt47, OK kid, I guess you know it all, huh? You calling Dexter Romweber a terrible, good for nothing musician is like a 1st grader telling a Professor he's stupid. By the way, if you're 17, you must be at least a Junior in High School. (If you haven't dropped out yet) It's time you learned how to spell, especially the word "Musician".

  • Comment removed

  • @Dookiebutt47, Hey Dildo, that's twice you've referred to me as gay by calling me a "faggot", and then a "fag". What's this apparent fascination with homosexuals? I hate to rain on your parade, but I'm not gay. Sorry. You started this by shitting all over Dexter Romweber. I gave my opinion by saying that I thought you were wrong. Now, you're talking and acting like a 7th grader. Time to grow up, boy. 

  • @TIMOTHYSAARINEN lol cool man, go back to ur boring life working as the maintence guy at mcdonalds i have some school work to take care of, i dont have the luxerie of spending every waking moment thinking about how dreamy dexter is, but you can, go get him tiger! rawr
