Cant describe how much I love this song. When he switches from playing it on one string to all of them after listening to this song for over 100 times still gives me goosebumps.
Using microphones live to create a stereo sound for the audience. God damn, Jack White is always one step ahead. Every up-and-coming musician follows in his footsteps.
I think I've watched this at lease once a day for a month or two lol. It's almost hard to listen to their studio recordings after hearing them live, that's how you know a band is good.
He played this just two days ago when I saw him in London. It's a fucking intense track. Even more so live!!!! Long Live Jack White and Rest in Peace the White Stripes.
Unbelievable how stupidly simple some of Jack's riffs are - no-one else has the confidence and ear to recognise that something like this, or Astro, is enough to hitch a song to. I reckon a lot of people chuck riffs like that away because they don't have the intuition to differentiate between 'too simple' and 'perfectly simple'. I remember my dad telling me about Jagger's reaction to hearing Richards play the riff from Satisfaction - Jagger said it was too simple. Keith disagreed. The rest's history. If the White Stripes had been as masterful at writing beauty as they were at writing rock & roll they'd be arguably the greatest band of the last 40 years. As it is they're arguably the best band of the last 15-20 years. And if I have to read another mentalist claming that Jack White's an average guitarist...are we listening to the same guy? Maybe if your idea of brilliant guitar playing is Eric Clapton's solo stuff or Steve Vai(Steve Vai! Someone actually said that. How can you be into Steve Vai and The White Stripes?) then you might not 'get' Jack's style. But then you're also a cunt, so swings and roundabouts.
The Sprawl Black Sabbath did this riff first. Listen to Electric Funeral. Tony Iommi was The Godfather of the simple killer riff. Iron Man, Paranoid, Sweet Leaf,etc.
Yeah, White Stripese's writing is really bad. Except full "De Stijl", "Dead Leaves", "Hotel Yorba", "Same Boy", Full "Elephant", Exactly the Full "GBMS" and half of "Icky Thump", right in the point, bud.
@Popfan93 Jack White's guitar tech Jim Vincent was ALSO Kurt's guitar tech during the In Utero tour. So, White has THAT close connection to Cobain! =]]]
@MrKayetanBucker Kurt is awesome Jack is awesome.. They are the only one who play what they feel on stage..if they wanna scream..,they scream..doesn't matter if its not in the song..there guitars are not tuned well...they both don't care what the rest thinks or that they don't ply the songs right..they have the feeling..and that are the only 2 people ever that did it.. They r both good
@ryumishima44 nah I don't think that will happen. 2 completely different personalities. You know what is funny? I always felt as though if Kurt had lived, he would have eventually moved out into some remote cabin making old bluesy folk rock records and I am pretty sure Jack will probably be that guy. In some ways he already is. lol
@@MIKKMARKGaming I think Riley is replying to Corpsi who said "Then Jack would teach Kurt [Cobain] how to actually play the guitar and do a proper solo"
