  • Guitar tutorial for Jolene by the White Stripes. /watch?v=pFAMcesMdBg

  • Ignore the haters, this is a great video of a great band doing a great song. Thanks :D

  • Fucking idiots singing in the backround of the video are fucking ruin this whole video. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hey, it is a record of a concert. It was right in the middle of a crowd of fans 10 feet from the stage listening to a song that has only been released as a b-side and for the fans. People sing at concerts, if you want to hear this in album quality, buy the album.

  • You have the album, but you come here, driving up my view count to complain about how your free viewing experience isn't up to your pedantic over anal concert going experience?

  • The White Stripes are AWESOME! - Don't know anout the other people I can hear singing ;)

  • They paid for their tickets, so they are pretty awesome too.

  • White Stripes are inimitable...

    Wicked!

  • Very, very inimitable.

  • what the fuck is going on 6 spam comments

  • The White Stripes are very popular with spammers. As they are with everybody else.

  • wtf lmao

  • Every performance of every song The White Stripes play is incredible.

  • this looks like the show i went to

  • Keyspan Stadium on Coney Island in 2005.

  • like it.totaly underground

  • dam oh well tho white stripes still rock thou a seven nation army couldn't hold me back

  • Argh why the the sound quality always so bad?

  • Because I had to sneak in my five year old digital camera in, and then I was really close to the speakers and surrounded by fans who know the words and want to sing along.

  • that right u cna't compare them if u like dolly version better ii just because thats ur type of muisc

  • Finally, it doesn't matter if Dolly's version is better than this one or not, because both versions are just different, you can't compare them. And you like her version better but, as spike says he's taking the song to another level, otherwise, it wouldn't be another version of the song, it would be the same thing played by another person.

  • I think this discussion is pointless. Bobdada is wrong when he afirms that we are not going to like TWS in some years, because, who knows what will pass in the future? Besides, everybody has a different taste in music here, but we all like TWS so he can't just watch the video and start critizicing the band, THAT is inappropriate.

    And, honey, you just don't get their music, accept that (and you do know what there is to "get", don't play dumb).

  • This song ... <3

  • omg bader gettn

  • Horrible cover. Ths hysterical chorus is inappropriate given the theme and lyrics. C'mon people,it's time to accept that TWS are the most overrated band of all time.

  • inappropriate? Since when can anything be inappropriate in music? They said the same about Hendrix when he played his first UK gig...maybe you just dont get the stripes:-)

  • What is there to "get"? Still, I see your point. Inappropriate does sound a bit prude, better to say that Jack destroys the integrety of the song . Jolene is a woman pleading to another for mercy and understanding - Not a good time to loose ones shit! Check out Dolly Parton doing it and maybe you might "get" what I'm on about. Final point. Hendrix was an innovator. TWS are a gimmic.

  • I have to agree with you on the first point. He does destroy the integrity of the song but musically he does take the song to another level. In a way we should thank him for making that great song from the past loved by the younger people than otherwise maybe would never now what musical treasures are hidden in their parents Vinyl-collection. Ok, not the ideal methode but better then nothing, i think...

  • a gimmic??

    you obviously dont know shit.

    fuck you.

  • I know that in five years from now nobody will be listening to the White Stripes, including you.

  • yeah..because you just know me so well hey pal?

    It cracks me up how you think you know what you are talking about.

  • Why the fxck was The White Strips singing Dolly something?

    Eh...they still fxcking rock my socks. ^-^

  • Jack is a huge fan of that ol' country sound, he just colaborated with some other old lady from down south on her record, her name escapes me, someone help me out.

  • dolly partton

  • no, Loretta Lynn on The Van Lear Rose, Jack produced it.

  • oh yea i have no idea why i was thinking dolly partton i know jack produced some of her albums she help alot on white blood cells

  • masterpiece

  • yeah, i like this band. You guys blow my mum AND dad.

  • im not a fan of dolly parton but i know who she is and i dont know any of you guys so whos should be saying stuff about who-you guys are pathetic

  • what?

  • psst! country sucks, this rocks!

  • Ugh.

    They totally eviscerated a country classic.

    I would have just let the audience sing if I was him.

  • he dont hit one tone, but i has much feelings in his voice, dolly parton sings clean but sounds rather happy on this sad song! Thats wrong!

  • hes gto better versions of the song, and dolly parton is a dumb bitch

  • jack white is alot more talented then people give him credit he can shred like a pro when he is showin off

  • I agree with BlackJackDavey, leave Jack to do his thing drunken bints!

  • nobody was drunk, the majority of the crowd around me were like 14 year olds

  • awsome

  • ~_~

    Eeehm.

    Dolly Pardon _cough

  • love it!! the white stripes rock

  • yes they do

  • captain america, thats the lead singer of the white stripes idiot

  • Fatalfame,

    Dolly Parton is dumb bitch, White Stripes is so much better it's an honour for her that they play this song (the only good Dolly song, even though this recording is kind of crap)

  • there is a much better vid of them on conan o'brien doing this song.

  • is it recorded from the audience? or was it recorded professionally in a studio?

  • What a great artist! taking a great song to new and greater heights. I don't think it will ever be topped. His clothes look great for this song also. Meg is super as always.

  • This is such an insult to Dolly Parton. She is such a legend and it makes me sick when stupid hipster dorks ruin beautiful things.

  • I think he thought of it as more of a tribute, a homage, exposeing the kids to music they normally might not hear.

  • I don't think Dolly Parton would be saying that.

  • really? why would you think that?

  • Wow. You named yourself after a PS2 game AND you don't know crap about music. Double-Whammy! Go shoot yourself.

  • great performance that was awesome how jack stopped meg's cymbal.

  • if you listen to Jack Whites other band, The Raconteurs you will notice that jack likes the way meg plays the drums, because alot of the time the drummer for the Raconteurs plays the same way..

  • I love The white stripes but the quality was shittackuler on this vid and the people singing didn't help.

  • shittackular? well find me a better version taken by someone in the crowd and I will take mine down, mmk?

  • Jack White has the coolest voice in the world, the best modern day musician (being accomplished with electric guitar, accoustic, xylophone, harmonica, piano, banjo etc) and Meg is supa sexy as well as adding great drums to the band. They might be easy drums to play, but they still rock.

  • I agree....I LOVE HIS VOICE!!!

  • Beautiful performance as usual. I love how Jack puts so much emotion into singing this song. I think the fans singing adds to the atomsphere personally. You can't expect fans to keep quiet when the Stripes play this song!!

    Thanks for putting it up :o) It's lovely

    x x x

  • see? why can't everybody be as rightheaded as you, none of these people have ever been to a concert it seems, its like seeing a movie in the theater, all the people add to the atmosphere.

  • the people singing ruined this video

  • its a fan favorite, he encourges people to sing along. Everybody knows all the words.

  • godlike!

  • indeed

  • Erm.

    Blues is not as hard to play as classical or flamenco. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Please do not make dumb comments like that if you are not a guitarist.

    White stripes are cool sounding and not meant to be complex. Their music is quite easy to play especially on guitar. But thats not the point, it doesnt have to be difficult to be cool.

  • lol, nice vid....but who was sining along? at first I thouhgt meg was singing too, I was confused

  • The crowd was singing along.

  • I don't normally bash bands on here. Vocals and genres are always a matter of taste.

    But that chick can't play the drums. She just can't play. She has no rythem, and the way she hits the set is incredibly awkward. Look at the way she hits the crashwith her right hand. Terrible, amature and awkward.

    If by "primitive" you mean "Playing like a 3 year old" then sure. Just look at her forearms! What a joke she is!

  • You are an idiot. I find most people that cry like you are failed musicians.

  • That was classic. xD Whateves, the White Stripes are good quality, plain and simple. You can go farther then that and say that are amazing, but good is the bottom line.

  • I don´t normaly bash people on here.Dude,WHO cares that she is not a good drummer? I guess the only Amature is YOU, if you don´t know that good music, doesnt always need good musicians(remember the Ramones, brilliant Band but lousy Musicians).Maybe Meg is a lousy Drummer but that´s ok,it fits to their Sound.The only important Thing is that they rock and write great Songs!!!By the Way, this Lesson in Music is for free!Maybe one Day you become a good Listener;-)

  • Well, Jack said he wanted her that way, and he didn't want her to be all hard-core or whatever you were expecting. She does have good rhythm though. One question I always had. Why does meg always stare at the ceiling? x) IT'S THE MOTHMAN.

  • Actually, that's exactly what Jack wanted. He wanted Meg to play like a child, which works perfectly for the sound the band has.

  • jack white is considered one of the best guitarists around....are you high?

  • you can get a rare WHITE STRIPES dvd at ioffer

  • The quality sucks and there's people singing along in their crappy voices and screaming.

    >.<

  • im quite sure this vid was shooted when they came to play to Argentina,... last year i think,... and the GUYS SINGING ALONG, are just girls singing (i mena, they are not men).

    and, in fact, its REALLY ANONNYING when ppl do this on shows. but wathever, if you like the song, sing it, i dont hate em for do it.

  • its a show, people always sing along, especially if it is a fan favorite.

  • Jack White is a fantastic musician...Cause Blues isn`t easy to play...It is the hardest thing to play on guitar next to Jazz

  • Blues is really easy to play xP

    Blues is the most simple thing there is to play.

    But it's a lot like that game with the cliche' description:A minute to learn, a lifetime to master.

    In fact, Jack once said he doesn't consider SRV a virtuoso because blues is so easy to play. It isn't the speed played that makes it good, but the amount of heart put into it.

  • meh, I'd say classsical. Lots o' double stops, playing pizzicato, stuff like that. Do you play?

  • Good seats! Lucky duck

  • no seats, all standing, and no luck, loads of pushing.

  • white stripes rule

  • word.

  • You know folks, Jack plays with his heart. Plain and simple... Now thats what makes music music. I've learned to do so ever so recently, and if you dont play with all your heart, then fuck, you might as well not play at all.

  • Meg's gotten hot>.>

  • the white stripes are awesome musicians..and your a fucking tool...they have primitive drums because that is what the music calls for...you just don't like it because it reminds you that your parents don't love you

  • ..."you parents dont love you"...lol!!

  • the problem I have witht he white stripes isn't how they don't have insane drum fills or 10 minute guitar solos, it's that they just suck as musicians. You look at a band like the red hot chili peppers, and as soon as you hear a few seconds you know they are all amazing musicians. And they keep it simple, using a less is more approach, but they know how to get great sound from their instruments...

  • The white stripes don't suck.

    But their music is played almost like amateurs.

    They sound bare and raw.

    Meg isn't much of a drummer, but she's a great pianist. And Jack is a great drummer, guitarist, pianist, everythingist.

    The stripes are just about minimalistic sound

  • meg doesnt play piano you dumb shit, and also they are supposed to sound like amateurs if you ever seen some interviews. your the one who is the amateur

  • Wow. You're a retard, aren'tcha?

    Ooo. Let's get worked up about a band that has no meaning.

    And yes. Meg does play piano. Ever wonder how they do In The Cold Cold Night live?

    And I KNOW they're supposed to sound like that moron.

    If you would have READ my post.

    Sweet Jesus this world is full of morons.

    And what the hell does "your the one who is the amateur" mean?

  • i dont know

  • Oooooooh, lost that argument, didn't ya? Heh, love online fights.

  • lol

  • you cant compare that. you do not like white stripes because it is raw and yet the guitar parts are complex. um, everyone else has always said jack white is talented and a good musician except for you, so i am sorry to tell you, but you are wrong. the white stripes are great, they do not use computers or synthesizers or electronics, their music is REAL, unlike the stuff you mentioned.

  • On stage when you see Jack playing guitar it looks really easy but some of the stuff he plays is pretty hard. And he plays with individuality. They're minimalist, which is why there are two of them and why Meg refuses to learn how to play the drums properly.

  • I disagree with most of this post and all the others that are similar to it. so i'm going to respond to this one and the rest right here in a series of long boring posts. i've never bought a white stripes album but every song i've heard on here and in other places sounds great.

  • maybe the music isn't your cup of tea. you know there are plenty of bands and musicians that are incredibly talented but i'm not interested. idiots say i dont have taste but taste is subjective to the point of view. i mean christina aguilera has a great voice, mariah carey too, but i dont listen to r&b so it's a moot point to me.

  • i do however listen to a lot of old country and blues and punk and i've heard that these are major influences to the white stripes so maybe i'd enjoy buying an album. friends of mine know my musical taste and tell me to listen to this and it's a bunch of, while very skilled musicians, cock rock bs that sounds like they're trying too hard. from the music i've heard of the white stripes i dont sense any pretentiousnous. i think they're actually true to their influences.

  • I love ya Jolene!

    RooB

  • You can barely hear him.

  • or maybe its concert footage from 2 rows back and people tend to sing along to songs they know. thats half the fun of concerts. you hardly have everybody sitting there silently listening to the music.

  • Yeah, this would be a lot nicer if all the tonedeaf assholes who don't even know the right lyrics would STOP SINGING ALONG.

    Love everything about Jack White, though.

  • it might've be good if those dumbasses with the camera had shutup and let the man sing!

  • whst's wrong with the bitch that sings along? pretty cool song dou

  • i agree though...under blackpool lights version is a tear jerker...this one probably was too, i just couldnt hear it. lol

  • I remember seein him play this song, its awesome

  • hah the idiots singing along is annoying...i agree with whoever said that...i mean i don't care if he encourages it, because you can't hear him. i like his outfit by the way. hah. and the guitar-playing on this song, too. it's kinda haunting...and yeah this is a sad song..

  • awesome... that's all i can say.

  • nice.

  • best cover ever

    awsome song!

  • Such a great song!! I teared up when I first heard it and when I saw it too. I love them and he puts such passion in this song! Thanks so much for posting this!!

  • my pleasure.

  • its even better on the "under blackpool lights" DVD!

  • high praise.

  • this is my favorite white stripes song

  • except it's a Dolly Parton song.

    Also, I don't hate the WS, but I still don't understand how they became big. They are okay at what they do and I can even see them winning a city-wide battle of the bands, but how they got national acclaim is simply baffling. Maybe because they sound as good as some of the better high school groups out there and they had a couple of really catchy songs.

  • yea i knew it was a dolly parton song. i just like the stripes version better

  • lol i was singin along when i saw them too :D

  • best song ever

  • It would be better without the drunk assholes singing along

    P.S.That is a badass outfit.

  • everybody sings along with Jolene, he encoureges it.

  • awesome audience! i saw them live, too!

  • when i saw this live i cryed

  • its a passionate song
