Raconteurs - Floating (Leeds Festival)

[padjo909]

This doesnt have shit on Japes original



[LPflapjack]

@padjo909 This isnt just a cover they made this song there own. i would say this to be a better song but i like Jack White and you like this Japes guy and i would care to know who Japes is if it wasn't for Jack having respect for his music. there two different songs dude

[Redux1010]

What I would give to meet Jack White in person...

[biyorn15]

This solo makes me jizz in my pants

[nanster68]

it goes to show that Jack is the greatest, guitarwise among many other qualities

[JonasSkater97]

tabs please!!!!!

[themillieblog]

Jack White is a rock/guitar god!

[rochellezawesome]

FUKIN WOW!!!!!!!

[Amarcarts]

Seriously we need an 8-minute, 2-solo, studio version of this cover.

[CodyT3212]

Tastiest guitar solo of all time.

[Gretschization]

Super solo

[pajonczek95]

Brendan = hobbit

[27smartyjones]

OMG i can't stop watching this. it's so clean and so technical. fantastic song. one of the great performances of all time. i only wish it was longer.

[bond284]

wtf... the crowd is DEAD.. look at the front row, look at 1:35

ungrateful bastards

[PastaCheifFilms]

Why is there no tab for this

[LzN16]

@PastaCheifFilms its a cover. if u search 4 "floating" by Jape Ill bet youll find a suitable tab

[cseaton11]

why the hell can't you find this on a cd?!

[herecomeoldflatfoot]

@cseaton11 coz its not theirs, its by an irish guy called jape and its on his cd

[larrymeansbusiness]

@herecomeoldflatfoot

jape is the name of the band...

[PWV]

1:32-end is heaven in my ears

[likespinningplanets]

he's rockin pajama pants. thats badass

[NiaMadeThisForJack]

do The Raconteurs have any songs other that sound like this???????????

[PastaCheifFilms]

@NiaMadeThisForJack A few like Level, Broken Boy Soldiers, and Store Bought Bones

[TheGreatStonedOne]

Two people tried to play this song on their own, and failed.

[love4music92]

jape made this song they're just covering it probably fans of him hes good also

[mummiku]

two words: Jack White.

[acornty]

so did jape or these guys make this song first?

[faltat2]

@acornty jape

[paddypadman2]

@acornty Jape aka Ritchie Egan did first

[likespinningplanets]

@paddypadman2 we know thanks

[riolimagic]

i love how jack lawrence moves while hes playing the bass.

[nap1056]

@riolimagic True. I like his moves with the dead weather :)

[vinniedurrant]

@ElPr0n Well the A minor pentatonic is a common blues scale,ok he's not going up and down scales like via does but he does know about the circle of 5ths as indicated by his piano playing and even other guitar solo's see "mister your a better man than i"so i stress the point that his solo's are NOT the same,some are simple some are very complex and every time he makes that thing sceam.

[vinniedurrant]

No theyre not.

[gamerdudefilms]

reminds me of a 70s band, THATS WHY ITS AWOSME

[thefunkbandit]

fuck these guys floating is by jape and this covers shit

[riolimagic]

@thefunkbandit you realize your an idiot? right?

[CaseyLikesToastALot]

[Aliboolally]

[nivek0270]

[KATE24211]

BEST SONG

[Lynx1525]

First time I heard this was on a skate video... one of my favourite songs.

[rebellferhan]

does anyone know which guitar jack white is using in this song?

[LuckyDutch9]

I think its his Gretsch Copper Triple Jet, it has a solid copper body. It's custom built.

[Frosh50]

It is a guitar that was custom made for Jack White by Randy Parsons of Parsons Guitar Shop.

[OriginallyInspired]

fukin love it!

[CodyT3212]

best jack white guitar solo

[chrisgitsy]

they did ask for permission to cover this song, Jape said yea (actually very happy to).

[Waxthumper]

They should tell the audience that this is a Jape track.. most artists do when they do a live cover. They've wrongly convinced hundreds of thousands of people that this is their track. Jape deserves the recognition. Everyone loves the track and thinks it's theirs.

[sineadx11]

nah, everybody knows it ain't theirs!

[Waxthumper]

Sinead, 17.. From Ireland. I'm 20 and from Ireland.. We might, I don't think the world does. They heard this track in Dublin and have covered it since without mentioning Jape.

[sineadx11]

ok well everybody in Ireland does, anyway where's the recorded version if it's theirs?

[Waxthumper]

I wish everybody in Ireland did, then Richie Egan (Jape) would get the recognition he deserves. Japes record label re-released this on his new EP 'Jape is Grape' after this, it was originally on the album 'The Monkeys in The Zoo Have More Fun Than Me'. I've uploaded the video, if that's the recorded version you're asking about. As far as I know the Raconteurs never recorded it.

[mafiachild]

I really don't think it matters. Anyone who obviously liked it enough would try to look for it latter and see that Jape was the actual original artist. I personally love both versions.

[Waxthumper]

Every artist I've ever seen perform a live cover tells the audience 'this is a track by...' these don't. It's simple. It's common courtesy and respect for fellow musicians, there's an air of thievery about this.. they wouldn't have covered it if it was a track by a well known worldwide artist.

[mafiachild]

Uhh they covered Bang Bang by Nancy Sinatra and covered Crazy by Gnarls Barkley. Unless you consider those artist not popular at all. This was from there first tour anyways, when they had only made like 10 songs at that point, so they really had to cover songs. Just because you are a big Jape fan doesn't mean you have to be a complete moron about it.

[Waxthumper]

Pipe down yank. Just because you are a big Raconteurs fan doesn't mean you have to be a complete moron about it.. they could have given a shout is all I said fuck face.

[mafiachild]

No, that's not what you said at all. You said that they were trying to steal this song and say it was their own.

[ballzdeeper69]

i dont think richie egan would care!

[ballzdeeper69]

right on chief!

[vinniedurrant]

will the both of you shut up, this is all about jacks amazing solo

[lilbullet111]

I'm with you

[CommBreakDown]

@vinniedurrant look up guthrie govans-fives, b/c his jack white solo was not as amazing as some of the others.

[sineadx11]

I meant the raconteurs never recorded so unless people are thick, it's obviously not theirs

[pengtv]

I'm watching jape play this on irish television at the moment... he mentioned this version - had to check it out

Awesome!

[solveig1759]

Just amazing. They are so good.

[jazzyjasmin88]

this version is amazing. i WISH i could have actually been there to see it.

[2recievers]

no its a jape song. hes an irish indie-electro guy. apparently they heard it in dublin in a bar and have played it at nearly every show since. the originals good look it up

[decorum333]

dude. this is great. anyone know of an accurate tab for this?

[dr05guitar]

awesome! is that a cover or an original of theirs?

[babyslapmafro]

wow that's amazing.

i'm surprised more people haven't viewed/commented on this.

simply stunning.

[adubon]

that goes beyond perfection
