Saw them open for Sleater-Kinney at Southgate House in Cincinnati (Newport KY) on Sept 15, 2000, during DeStijl. No one there knew who the White Stripes were. Jack was still telling people Meg was his sister at this time. They blew us away. They electrified the whole place... I mean, we were in shock. He was pure energy. Sweat flying everywhere and shredding on the guitar. It was completely unforgettable. I never saw an opening band completely shock a crowd. we were instant fans.
My all-time favorite White Stripes song is In the Cold, Cold Night.
It's got Meg singing and a slinky little bass number. I just picture a black cat tip toeing along an alley fence when I hear it.
I fucking love that song
Loved them immediately. I remember getting up late and they were on Conan. I grabbed a pencil and wrote their name on the counter top. I really hate people who rate a band out of the box. Jack's great but I've always liked Meg on the drums. Simple and clean to me . I was at a music store and they had all these great drummer's on the wall. I said Where's Meg ❓ he just shook his head and walked away 😎
Could not agree more, especially on their live version of Blue Orchid.
Yep, 10000% I actually stopped dating a guy that said she sucked on drums. I was like, ok we’re done here. 😂
She’s primitive and that’s all that matters, it’s ART.
@@brooklyn3299 Closest connection on RUclips 👍👍. As a guy Im distant when gender seems to be an issue. Meg had a lot of pressure on her ,but it didn't interfere with her creativity. Meg plays from her heart and that's something guys many times are missing. Your right on . 😎
Dude this is a connoisseur level troll. Sometimes when I really wanna hear great drumming I think should I pop in Zeppelin or White Stripes? 🤔
@@rheinhardtgrafvonthiesenha8185 Interesting the Bonham isn't on my list. I saw him with Zeppelin in 75 and he was wasted and lost where he was. That cancels me when I've paid to see any band that falls apart. Without your drummer nothing works. My top drummer is Charlie Watts, and some very notable are Keith Moon ( which I got lucky he wasn't wasted in 75) Kenny Jones, Stewart Copeland ,Chad Smith, Steve Jordan,Dave Robinson,and Clem Burke and more in other genres . 😎
One of my favourite bands. Meg White is a goddess. I love the 20th anniversary Elephant album. ❤
My mum took me n r kid out of school to go see the white stripes at Kentish Town forum in 2001. It was kinda life changin, it blew my tiny little 13 yr old mind
Your mom is a legend
@@brooklyn3299 she’s a good un
As a 60+ year old git when I first heard them I heard Zep, but definitely much more raw. Not a bad thing I think.
That first album was my favorite
I'd say their 2nd album is my favourite..
They were righteous and Jack White's a genius - everything he touches is golden (to me, anyways)
Blunderbuss, my favorite white stripes clip is the Saturday Night Live (John McCain hosted ) "Dead Leaves and the dirty ground." The man is fearless.
I hate that I never got to see them live. Good video, keep up the good work
the first thing i ever heard and seen from the was the "fell in love with a girl" music video
i was like: this is incredible stuff, a day later i bought their albums up to this point
i can't really explain why, it had this different vibe around it i really dug. also the year before i really fell in love with music :)
You’ve got to hear the acoustic version of fell in love with a girl if you like that song!
Here in Chicago, I remember a particular time when the DJ @ our local station Q101 played the song 3 times in a row "because it's SO great & too short". Been a fan ever since...
Brilliant band👏👏👏👏👏
Since like early Chemical Brothers and then Prodigy and the largeness of the Rave scene in the mid nineties, and Hip Hops mass appeal, ever since those days, people kept saying "Electronica is gonna take over, rock is dying." So by 1999, that attitude was still in the air, and I knew people that got swept up in that, and then the whole celebrity dj thing of like Kruder and Dorfmeister...the first time I heard that first record that was basically Zepplin channelled through indie rock and punk, my first thought was "Jack White saved rock; he reasserted it power and its originality; this is a landmark album right when Rockists needed a landmark album. It literally blew my mind, and its been copied since and people forget that moment, but that record was just mind blowing. I listened to it over and over and over.
Cool doco BUT (1) why is none of their music featured (couldn't get the copyright or something?), and (2) no mention of where they blew up first outside of Detroit - 95bFM played their music, and Auckland, New Zealand was their first gig outside of Detroit!
Meg gets a lot of flack, but as a musician, the hardest thing to do is develop an identifiable sound.
No one sounds like her, and it's near impossible to duplicate what she pulls off on those WS albums.
Any fool can play sloppily, be she pulls it off. Most would sound foolish.
Meg duplicates her recordings...amazingly.
Ulrich is sloppy live, and it can legitimately be labelled 'disappointing' considering the illusion they produce in the studio.
Lars should take a page out of Meg's book and be honest in the studio.
Her style is impossible, literally impossible, to replicate. Obviously it sounds like she didn’t have “technical training” (thank god), but it also sounds like she hasn’t listened to much rock or rock adjacent music period. Another awesome part of her drumming was how she developed over the years. She really did hit the drums like John Bonham. She also developed an awesome sense of tempo and dynamics. She is one of those “accidental” geniuses that can’t be replicated.
II'm witcha, there. hear people badmouth Meg's drumming- I don't know spit about drumming, but the music they put out together is my absolute favorite of all the projects that Jack's been part of. She had a presence that was lovely, real, and SLAMMIN'. I love the music that they're both on.
Gary Graff, the rain man of rock n roll
Music producer Jim Diamond also produced the Mooney Suzuki (:-) besides the White Stripes in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Jack is genuine.
Hey, Great Video! Does anybody know the name of this Song? 17:02
It's never a good thing to make a film about a band that doesn't include any of their music. In fact, to choose to do so is, to my mind, really quite bizarre.
With so many references to sound, as you would expect, hearing some of them seems so obviously necessary, the fact you never do I found to be progressively annoying + I'm surprised I made it to the end.....
Yes, if you're going to discuss DeStijl and White Blood Cells, then play the damn tracks from those albums! It's a good narrative of what happened as they began and developed. It certainly becomes problematic to talk about when they became famous and you hear none of their songs.
reading about music is like singing about food
The reason they do that is because either the copyright holder of the music - I’d assume Jack White for all White Stripes albums - either would not let them use it, or the fee to use any of it may have been beyond the budget of the film. Not having any White Stripes music was not an aesthetic choice. Of course they would want the music of the band in the film! Oftentimes, though, a documentary about a band where the band is not directly involved in the project, the music of the band isn’t in the film for copyright reasons. So don’t fault the filmmaker. When you make a film, getting copyrights for the music is a big part of the project. Sure you can disregard copyright, but no serious project does that, and of course RUclips would flag it as well. See, that’s also how artists can control how their music is used. Roger Waters was just offered Millions by Mark Zuckerberg to use his song ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART II in an Instagram advertisement campaign and Waters turned him down as a way of saying F&*k YOU to Zuckerberg because he doesn’t want his music associated with Zuckerberg’s brand.
@@vinceschauf9437 they didn’t use the actual music because they could not get permission from the copyright holder or more likely couldn’t afford the fee they were quoted for its use. If you were to hear a White Stripes song in a major feature film, even a short snippet, an artist like Jack White could get hundreds of thousands of dollars or more - or if it was a filmmaker he liked or was friends with, maybe he’d just sign off and let them use it. But of course they would want to use the music, they just could secure permission from the copyright holder, Jack White I’m sure since he’s smart like that, not letting some record company entity get the rights to his music. Artists sell the copyright, and that’s why you might see like a Bob Dylan song used in a Subaru commercial - because Bob Dylan just sold the copyrights to ALL of his music for $800 million dollars. It’s all about copyright for any song you see in any commercial, movie...there is “fair use” or if you only use a very short snippet, I believe...but clearly the reason there’s no White Stripes music is for copyright reasons, RUclips flags that stuff right away if you try to use stuff you don’t have permission for
@@matthewcohen7488 that's a good explanation and I sensed that might be the case. I was thinking that a deep cut from De Stihl would be much cheaper, something they could afford, but maybe not. Who knows??
Thats a darn good question What! It just goes to show you,Youll buy into anything the record company feeds you .
If you want to give Meg shit , do as well as she did. I'll wait.
6:39 Michigan is NOT "on the east side of the United States". My god. The eastern side of the Midwest, yes.
East of the Mississippi - good enough!
Whats that song in the intro ?
I loved Meg, thought she was so cute and sweet.
Michigan is on the East side of the United States? 6:18
Well, it's not definitely not the west...
We miss Meg White, but I knew a couple Meg Whites that can just disappear out of thin air without a trace, and just….never return
I have a strange attraction to them. Maybe because it was only Meg and Jack making such different music. I love Meg on the drums, it makes the band. Wish they could have stayed married and kept making music. But who knows what goes on behind closed doors? I really haven't followed Jacks solo career.
Every few seconds someone is shitting on the drummer. These guys miss the point completely. Feel and attitude is what connected with fans. It's what _always_ connects with the fans.
A documentary about a band, with other bands music in the background? Why? Detroit bands?
Please with no background music that would be so cool
You could be from Cleveland .
Two rock duos of the past > House Of Freaks 1980s > Legendary Cowboy 1960s
Flat.Duo.Jets
The cramps
you have said at start they are brother and sister then you have said they were man and wife, cant be both
They lied about being bro and sis. The truth was they were married at one time.
You’ve obviously have never been to Kentucky ! It happens
Well….
The rough suburbs of detroit??? You mean south west detroit
No drinking or smoking pot
I guess you could describe the drummer’s style as “minimalist”. 🙄
As soon as she said brother and sister I turned this shit off
Well, in fairness, did she not say "supposed brother and sister"? Which would be accurate, since that is what they themselves initially told the media and were lying/joking. For me, I turned it off when the narrator called Michigan "on the eastern side of the US". Eastern side of the midwest, maybe.
@@untroubledwaters2137 Why would you turn off all these great people describing their homegorwn music scene in Detroit? The narrator doesn't matter for shit here - the people do. YOu turned them off.
One good song.
Revolutionary? I dunno bout that.
Maybe
the early 2000's was just a war on bass players, too bad it wasn't completed lol
Interpol saved bass
It Might Get Loud - yes, Jimmy is great, the Hedge? m m m no, not really - But Jack? the boy can sing and Jimmy and the Hedge can't so far as I'm concerned Jack wins . . .
What I don't like about this doccie is that there are so many White Stripes songs to choose from, but they don't play one White Stripes song. Stupid.
I like them but find them overrated to be honest.
Good documentary, I just wish the narrator spoke like normal humans do instead of whatever that is....
You obviously haven't got the rights to use their music. A significant deficit.
Brother & sister? Wrong!
Ironically, while I love The White Stripes, I do not like Seven Nation Army at all. I think it’s possibly the worst song in their catalog, and besides the novelty of sporting events I don’t get why people adore it so much.
They have so many other songs besides it, and they all slap!
What made them a legendary rock darlings?
They were stuffed down America's throat by the record industry.
Big Black did that grab bag record stuff. Condoms money razor blades etc. Just another thing that the white stripes ripped off over the years. Not an original band at all
