I dont even care that his guitar is slightly out of tune or that he is messing up a little, this is so raw! by the way i was 3 when this was happening!

@mrbrianmccarthy

i personally love jacks voice in this song. his guitar would sound alot better if it was tuned though. lol

[MsWildCard]

what amp was he using here around this time?

[TheRockerInside]

@mrbrianmccarthy He purposely plays crap guitars, he thinks it's emotionless if everything is easy

[mance02]

So RAW.

[JBHutto]

looks like a weirdo

@mrbrianmccarthy Their emotion is what gets me... Jack White just puts everything he has into that guitar and everything into that microphone. Their energy is amazing... But this is their old stuff. Newer stuff after this is way better. I love this too though

Very garage band.Guitar is way out of tune,and the drumming is as pedestrian as it gets,and the singing is muted/mixed flat.Thats the classic garage band mix---lmfao.I cant believe these guys are famous. Oh well,different strokes for different folks.
