Rocker Jack White - Serious Jibber-Jabber with Conan O'Brien | Team Coco 

one of the best interviews ive ever seen

That is the best of interviews, when you can make the other person calm and talk from the heart.

That's why it's called jibber jabber! Jibber jabber is great

that's the best kind of interview tho isn't it

Yeah, it was very enjoyable. The Mel Brooks one was great too.

totally agree. I was never a huge WS fan, but you can tell hes the real deal. almost everything he says is accurate, and the things that are personal to him are subjective, and he realizes this.

Shelly Smith - Vampire Fans Magazine As a creative person, I find time every day to create something, whether it is writing, photography, a logo for a client, etc. That was the single biggest part of the interview that stuck with me.

i originally got that idea from guitarist Bill Frisell. he says he would try to write a new song everyday. You can't just wait for the right moment to come, you just have to be ready. So you keep working on it, until something pops out. It's not like everything you write everyday will be great, and there will be many ideas you revisit on another day.. but its a good "habit." constantly trying to come up with new ideas, without the pressure of having to "write an album." -- the material should come natural. -- but you cant just sit around and try to build the perfect moment hoping it will come. you just gotta wake up everyday and do it.

Who says "ages" much less "as a creative person?"You've been watching interviews FOR AGES?! Douche alert!

🎉🎉😂🎉

right.

Cool comment as well! Seriously...you hit just one of many nails on the head as to why this interview is just excellent.

It seems like they're trying to sell Catholicism. Lol

I'll sell you to catholicism. no scam

Plug Blunderbuss? I guess? Mostly they're just friends.

Karthik Nair LOL, your youtube skills seem to be very limited. Try Joe Rogan's Podcasts (JoeRoganExperience).

amjan I wish joe would have him on the podcast!

Karthik Nair its called real talk. its so rare now lol

Karthik Nair Really? Don't hear many conversations? Or maybe all your conversations are F**k this, and Sh** that.

+Karthik Nair you are correct , sir

+Kristan Heneage this one is gold...

I re watch this every few years

I just wanted to be the 420th like...

This and the Martin Short ones are my favourites

What about his children?

Amen

I know how you feel. This made me happy. Both brilliant and positive with a view toward the ability to make what you have been given into something you can reimagined.

I don't feel quite so weird now.. I don't particularly like Conan but in this, GOLD.

I think ive just stumbled on the most underrated comment ever

Wow! Very cool

Yeeeeesssssssss

Hahahahaha

I like that

CONAN IS A GOD

I like him best when he's relaxed.

farfangled your sentence is too funny lol. He's cool

I'd say they both smoked a joint together before this interview.

Didn't you read the memo 5 years ago? "Uncool is the new Cool!"..... :)

Joshua Aquino one of my favorite things he said in this interview. As as artist i can tell you it's true.

That is so beautful..... SIXTTYYYY NINEEE!!

Looks like Michael Sheen

cuz hes feminine and most ladies love that (this is coming from a lady)

That's a great question! Ive always had such a thing for him and he's so different from my usual type too! It's not simply that he's 'feminine' either he has something special

Yeah if your art is inspired by pain, that makes sense comfort = no pain, but thats not true, you can be rich and still have problems and pain. But not everyone uses that as motivator for art anyway, you can be happy and inspired by that also. Its because of our free time we gained-comfort that we were able to make art of this sophistication to begin with, if we were chasing wolly mammoth all day we wouldnt be working on our album. But if you couldnt get wolly mammoth you'd probably have some good material for a sad song. But no time for that, there's another mammoth waiting! put that noise maker down and sharpen your spear! we need to eat!

odibex Exactly! John Lennon once said in an interview that it’s easier to write songs when you have pillows to lie on and relax with.

I disagree. Look at someone like David Lynch, he meditates and tries to reach the pinacle of comfort to create his art.

I think it's more about focus and attention rather than comfort. The word comfort being used here is too vague. If you focus your attention on being comfortable you will become lazy. But if you are comfortable and focus your attention on what drives you as an artist, you're golden.

This “denial of ‘comfort’” approach towards the creation of art, remember, is Jacks’ perspective. It’s what works for HIM.. There is no set way to create and no one approach towards creating something. What makes art so wonderful is you can tell 9 artists to paint a tree and, in the end, you would have nine different trees. Possibly, Each more wonderful than the last. People seem to forget this is an interview and the views contained therein are that of the subject. We’re the ones curious about how HE ticks - nowhere did he say “THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY TO DO THINGS”

You may need to poo

You should gouge your eyeballs out, maybe

Too much eloquence for you?

+WirelessTv thats what laptops are for.

I'm shutting your butt down

same

dido, a discussion with jack white is something I dream about!

i would love to have a convosation with him but im not too intelligent

Actually, from what I know, Conan and Jack are really good friends, so I think it was easy for Conan to do this interview

They knew each other prior for some years at the point. That helped grease the wheels of the conversation. Great interview; we did learn alot about both stars.

Why are you asking me? Lol.

you're a positive and kind person, ***** :-) I hope you're doing what you love! Cheers! :-)

Whovianize You should really look into Conan's history. He graduated from Harvard, he was the president of the Harvard Lampoon, he's written for SNL, and The Simpsons. He's had a very interesting background.

Guinness112 yes, I know he did all that, but I didn't know he was so deep and caring. -His level of depth & compassion is what surprised me about him...which made his intelligence & accomplishments more interesting as a result. Prior to watching this...I thought Conan was funny...but not deep & caring.

***** Amen!! Work hard but do what you love, and you never work another day in your life!!!

You know. I totally agreed With what you just said, but why Did you write Some Words with capitals where none Were needed?

Mas Despacio fOr emphasiS

Mas Despacio because I'm was new to making comments. When I read my older comments, I want to rip on myself haha. I thought the caps would better emphasize my point. I was wrong. Live and learn I guess.

thats why i always write lyrics that make absolutely no sense, someone inevitably thinks its deep lol

Tallulah Magoo I died 😭💕

I'll Jack White to that

babies are lazy..

@@thatsenoughreally4609 Yep, freakin' lazy, spoiled, entitled little wannabe "miracles!" 😂

@@Egoblivion I’d rather have AIDS

Irish 🇨🇮.

Scout Ann I worry about him smoking though...I want Jack to be around forever!

+PandaJungle Its a base to be pedantic.

...if a 3 legged table is crushed into kindling by a tree falling in the forest...is it Jack’s fault? #notdeepjustdork

thats not , technically, a leg,,, its a base..lol sorry

@@snuugumz i'd say, no, but his sister probably had something to do with it..

@@snuugumz hahahaha

It's great because Conan didn't dumb it down to appeal to a wider audience. It's like, "We're just going to talk about what interests us, and you the viewers are welcome to take it or leave it."

like custom build gretsch like guitars and telecasters

I don't think it's worth it

It just seems perverse & illogical to actively seek out instruments that are difficult to play & don’t stay in tune. As a musician myself, I want the opposite so that I don’t have to worry about that aspect & I can be more of a conduit for the music, so to speak. To each his own, I guess....

@@Ghoopty hey friend, I hope you know that I will always love and support you. And you are never without a friend. I truly do love you, and you need to always be exactly who you are. No matter what you're facing. Because you're more than worth it, and you are worth all of the love this world can offer. Always. Be. Yourself. Even in the face of danger. Rock on buddy. Follow those dreams and they will come true. Much love 🧡

Wow. Well, thank you very much, whoever you are...

I wonder how many people really get what you are saying here. I come back here for so many reasons. One of them being to remind myself where I'm going when I've lost my way on the way to Something Beautiful. Or when I'm on my way to Something Beautiful and I want to remind myself to stay on task keep working hard. Keep creating pushing myself believe and that it's okay if you make magic and you don't quite understand the recipe that you use. That you throw it in a pot and it just is Magic like stone soup. You try enough things you work hard enough at it you figure out what you're supposed to do. And why is it that you're supposed to do one thing. Am I a painter, am I a potter, a jewelry maker, a poet, a photographer, a dishwasher, a mom... An Artist I don't have to choose any one thing. I Create❤ and just accepting the fact that I can say that I'm an artist and I don't have to choose except to create. And that not really a choice is it. It's necessity!

@EternalBird do you think cats and dogs should go get a job and grind like the rest of us do? What an idiot

I'm surprised they allowed it here. A lot of expensive equipment in that room. Though I'll admit it does create an image of sophistication that isn't as common nowadays.

the ironic thing about it is, jack don't smoke.

very politically incorrect . I love it

Smoking in a private area is politically incorrect? What?

Tons of people do it but now it's taboo. I know. Meanwhile many late show hosts or TV personalities have booze in their shows. Examples: Fallon Colbert, Kimmel, Conan have all drank on air. Here's my argument: Smoking kills NO DOUBT but no one ever smashed into a car and killed children while driving because they were smoking tobacco. If you are going to actively promote alcohol (something I enjoy as well) let's not treat tobacco as some Satanic Substance. I'm a smoker, I'll be the first to tell young people DON'T START it's very hard to quit. But alcohol is FAR more dangerous than tobacco, who could even argue? Drinking is promoted in Super Bowl commercials, all sports games, daily ads we see. Everyone knows the phrase "It's Miller time" in America. Alcohol has a long list of innocent bystanders deaths on it's record. Smoking kills the individual who decided to do it for a long period of time. I'm not defending smoking (don't start) or booze (I enjoy drinking to this day) but obviously Alcohol is promoted huge in America while we beat down tobacco. You can drive a car and work and raise a family if you are addicted to smokes. Good luck doing that on booze. Just a double standard

Falsetto. Axl Rose, Prince...

And Dan Aurbach

No John Frusciante?

What?I was just staring my favorite guitarist and John was not one of them .

I was just noting that the dude is really good. Your opinion is yours, I just read that and that was my first thought. Nice starting lineup btw.

I dont know if thats suppose to be sarcastic but either way thanks

Might be important to you. But living a simple life and not being a politician or w/e past doesn't really matter. So what little time you have on this earth you might want to spend it doing something that you enjoy like reading scifi.

You know, the first time I heard someone say something along those lines it really struck me, and this is coming from someone who read history books for fun as a kid, but the older I get the more I don’t see a huge difference. The only difference between great fiction and great works of history is that fiction has been crafted to make you think whereas history is chaos delineated through the funnel of (usually) one person or one perspective. For any historical event there are hundreds if not thousands of conflicting accounts so though I admire the idea that someone ‘wants to know what happened’ unless your looking at history as a bunch of statistics, and even those are often estimated, there are many instances where you’ll never know the full scope of any given instance or any given person in history, making reading history nearly as arbitrary and as subjective as fiction in a lot of ways...

Dwellyn Conway Yes! You said everything I wanted to say.

@@dwellynconway4721 fully agree. both "genres" are only as arbitrary as their content. readable, non biased, objective history is rare and precious and a huge well of information from which much great fiction is written.

Didn't know ppl had bad things to say about Conan. & he's a Harvard grad, sharp to say the least.

conan is such an intelligent and sincere interviewer especially compared to fallon

+ throw johnny depp in there too and we're done.

It wouldn't be as nice as this. When Quentin starts talking, there's no stopping him. But this has been a back and forth conversation which I think was really cool.

Throw in Doug Stanhope for insane outbursts and true comic relief plus insight.

Quentin is annoying as hell, he is a great director but he is a douche irl.

Yeah! I felt silly all these years feeling this indescribable connection with him.. Like knowing what he really means in his songs, feeling like I really understand him, and that he's the only one who understands my soul... I was happy to hear this from him... And glad that there are others who also adore him the way I do. It means a lot. :)

Yeah, he waited ten seconds between jokes this time.

He doesn't "feel the need to crack random jokes every 5 seconds" on his show, his writers, producer, director, and showrunner all demand that he does this lmao. Not to mention the corporate guys who think they know best about comedy.

@@someperson9262 Good point. You just salvaged some of my respect for Conan

Another good point! Honestly it was so unfamiliar to me with Conan it bordered on awkward if slightly cringey, which was great.

Yeah, because he actually gets to interview someone interesting here.
