"I love the bass on Seven Nation Army and the keyboard on Icky Thump" - Watching a 2-piece band consisting of guitar/vocals and drums performing live before your eyes.
@@Gekokujo76 Jack played guitar and keyboards on the album, along with mandolin and synthesizers. On Seven Nation Army, what sounds like a bass is actually created by running Jack White's semi-acoustic, 1950s-style Kay Hollowbody guitar through a DigiTech Whammy pedal set down an octave.
Jack white and his ex-wife Meg White. Jack White is one of those guys that can play almost any instrument, he has been voted one of the greatest guitarist and is considered a musical genius. You really need to hear Blue Orchid.
Jack White was also in The Raconteurs, which is a full band and also have some great songs like "Steady as She Goes" or "Level". The Black Keys is another 2-person band with great blues-rock songs like "Howlin For You", "Things Ain't Like They Used to Be", or "Your Touch". For other, totally different sounding White Stripes songs, "Fell in Love With a Girl", "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground", or "Hotel Yorba". So many great songs. Saw them at Red Rocks and easily top 5 best rock concerts I've attended.
"Dead leaves and the dirty ground" or "Fell in love with a girl" would be a couple of excellent follow up songs. After that, "Blue orchid" and "Astro" to get fully into them. Any song after that. 🙂
The White Stripes music ranges from Country to blues to rock. Jack is an amazing musician. The songs he wrote for Cold Mountain have that early American Settlers sound to it.
I saw White Stripes live many years ago and what impressed me the most is that there was only the two of them on stage, playing all the necessary instruments. No backup instrumentalists and no extra singers. They just switched when needed and it sounded so good aswell.
He's in the documentary/ movie "It Might Get Loud" with The Edge from U2 and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin and in one scene he basically says "pick a fight with your guitar". I think that's how he gets creative in his Solos. Jack White is Fire!!!
“BALL AND BISCUIT” or “THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON” are 2 bangers from the White Stripes. Lex would totally be sold on them if she listened to either, or both of those tracks.
Jack's solo career is good too. The song Lazaretto is definitely a great listen. Love him with the Dead Weather. Love him with the Raconteurs. Love him with Meg (his wife not sister despite what they used to say) in the White Stripes. He's phenomenal. Saw him a few years ago in concert and cannot wait to see him again.
One of their secret ingredients is that Jack White is a serious lover of music. Also, check out their part in "Coffee and Cigarettes". Great movie! Very funny and artistic.
I still keep “Blue Orchid,” “Fell in Love With a Girl,” “Hardest Button to Button,” and and bunch of others on shuffle. Amazing stuff, including Jack’s work with the Raconteurs.
Man, Lex may not know musical terminology but she's clearly a deep listener and hits the nail on the head all the time. That "Empty space after a period before the next sentence" perfectly describes, to me, what makes Meg's drumming so distinctive, where she'll hit just a fraction of a beat past where you expect to hear it and it creates this whole anticipation/satisfaction thing. Ringo Starr did that too. Anyway, loving this channel, keep up the good work PS Check out The Dead Weather, Jack's in that too
Lex can always paint the picture, really love how Brad is so cerebral and lex is so artistic and they just give a perfect balance to eachother and us the viewers... and yep, they were in a relationship, but cute the whole brother and sister thing still persists over 20yrs later... lol, we fell for it for a short minute back in the day... actually, Brad and Lex might be able to pull it off too
I always thought they said they were siblings just to fuck with people ... Jack White is definitely the type of guy who likes to make fun of everything^^
The keyboard sounding solo was done with a Univox synthesizer. Jack White is the best guitar player in the last 20 yrs. IMO; one of the most unique styles ever. Try Ball and Biscuit for the next one! Cheers!
@@flogg8635 lol no need to wonder what the truth is, the truth is definitely that they were married and not siblings. It's very well documented at this point.
Lex... I've said this before and I'll say it again... I LOVE the way your mind works. The incredibly deep feelings/emotions that you get from songs, is truly remarkable. I honestly think that if you had played an instrument or been in a band, you would have created some very cool stuff. Brad... you have a keeper there. Love you guys!
"Little Acorn" please & thx. When they first got big they told everyone that they were brother & sister, but the media found out they were actually married. They got a divorced while still playing together. Jack is so creative at using different sound, but he's one of the best modern guitarists.
There is brilliance in their simplicity. All Bangers: Blue Orchid, Black Math, Fell in Love with a Girl, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. Different, yet GREAT: My Doorbell, Apple Blossom, We Are Going to Be Friends.
45 years of going to gigs and the White Stripes live at Blackpool Empress Ballroom, England in November 2005 might just have been the best of them all.A magical night.
My faves are "Blue Orchid" and "The Denial Twist" - I also hope you get a chance to check out The Black Keys (another 2 person band) "Lonely Boy" or "Tighten Up"
They are NOT brother and sister, though while they were together they didn't mind if people thought that. Jack and Meg were in fact married for some time, but have now been divorced for a while. Meg is very shy and reclusive and has retreated from public life after the White Stripes. And another very good song of theirs is The Hardest Button To Button.
I always leave two spaces after the period lol. Lex's analogy reminded me of classical composer Claude Debussy, who wrote that music is not the notes, but the spaces between them. Similarly, jazz trumpter and bandleader Miles Davis once said that "It's not the notes you play; it's the notes you don't play." I am a huge fan of Jack White, both his White Stripes albums and solo material, and "Icky Thump" is one of my favorites. It was fun to go down this rabbit hole with you. By the way, if you are interested in jazz at all, Miles Davis is absolutely wonderful. There's a RUclips recording called "So What (Official Video)" on the Miles Davis channel that features a 1959 performance with the great John Coltrane on saxophone. My favorite Miles Davis album is Bitches Brew (1970). It's a double album with only 6 songs, but it really demonstrates how cool a jazz groove can be. "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" is fantastic; you can really hear the spaces between the sentences.
They were actually married. But divorced prior to the 7-nation album. Jack chose to say they were siblings because he was concerned that the label would focus on the post relationship drama instead of their music.
Another of Jack's songs that is incredible is his band "The Dead Weather" with Allison Mosshart of The Kills "Treat Me Like Your Mother"". Not only is the song sick the video is a vampire gunfight or something insane. You'll never forget it.
The high-pitch effect is a Whammy Pedal, it lets you put the pitch up or down like a wah-wah pedal. I had one that would raise the pitch several octaves, awesome effect.
Jack white is one of the best musicians of all time I named my son Jack and he was one of the inspirations for his name ( along with his grandfather and Jack daniels lol) he's 18 at the weekend
This felt like one of those songs where the White Stripes were just, like, "We're going. Keep up, if you're coming". Lex references the "jazz" feeling here, with the implied notes, or the "notes they're not playing", also having importance. Slightly off-topic, but the actor Hugh Laurie ("Dr. House") wrote an excellent comedic spy thriller novel called "The Gun Seller". In it, the main character posits the "thermodynamical laws of conversation", and specifically one that says, "Every statement implies an equal and opposite statement". It's sorta similar to the oft-misunderstood idea of "the exception that proves the rule" (eg. "Students may swim on Tuesdays" is the exception that proves the unstated rule that "students may not swim under regular circumstances". If the unstated rule didn't exist, you wouldn't need an exception to it). One example of the "equal and opposite statement" idea might be when someone says, "Trust me"; I don't think anyone's ever heard that statement without immediately thinking, "Should I?". That someone feels the need to make such a statement sorta implies that its opposite might be true. I think Brad's point might be about the difference between people who try to be "creative" by simply being "random", and those who weave apparent "randomness" around understood patterns of expectations in their audience. The difference between actual chaos, and the apparent chaos that actually hides a more-sophisticated pattern. Jackson Pollock paintings, and the way in which he managed to create a feeling of order underlying apparent chaos by hand-crafting what turned out to be fractal patterns, might be a good instance of the concept.
Yeah, someone mentioned below that Meg is his ex-wife not his sister. I fairly recently also discovered that for some odd reason they pretended they were brother and sister but were hubby and wife. Gotta love these rock stars. LOL.
I love that garage band sound! Jack White is a musical savant, and his style is very eclectic. But, he's great at the hook, that phrase or riff that pulls you in and keeps you listening. Excellent pick and great reaction, Rock On!
They got married in 1996, Jack Gillis and Meg White, he actually took her surname. They divorced in 2000, about the time they hit it big. They continued as a band for at least the next 10 years.
One of the best..White Stripes are a vibe. They are from Detroit, husband n wife duo. She taught herself how to play drums, but Jack is the engine in this machine.
In case no-one has mentioned it, the title comes from an English comedy show from the 1970s, The Goodies, which I think Jack White is a fan of. One episode was about a martial art from the north of England called "Ecky Thump" (itself derived from a Yorkshire expression of surprise, "by 'eck" (i.e. by heck!) It was (in)famous at the time because someone from Yorkshire actually died laughing at the episode when they had a heart attack 😳
"Blue Orchid / Party of Special Things to do" from the basement session is so kick ass and worth the looksy. Its a 20 minute session video but the those first two songs of the 6 are absolutely epic and shows them more in action. Jack White is dripping with talent.
Need to check out some of The Racontuers and Jack Whites solo work. Takes the same song writing from his white stripes days and expands upon everything instrumentally.
Thumping!!! Love this song! Such a unique song,in that ,some parts that might seem clumsy or amateurish,yet, taken as a whole, it's freakin EPIC!! Welcome to Jack White and his musical genius! XD
You guys should check the documentary "It Might Get Loud". It follows Jack White of the White Stripes, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Each one retraces their personal histories, walking the same ground and hallways and places they made some of their best stuff. Then they come together to share stories and eventually jam together. Definitely worth the watch for guitar fans!

Lol. I actually love how the “sister” narrative is somehow still persisting.
HAHAHAHA. I though wife/exwife was common knowledge. :)

@@Gekokujo76 that wasn't live and they do have different instruments that they use like keyboards.
@@TheMarkc614 Who played keyboards on this song? Who is the bass player on Seven Nation Army?
@@Gekokujo76 Jack played guitar and keyboards on the album, along with mandolin and synthesizers.
On Seven Nation Army, what sounds like a bass is actually created by running Jack White's semi-acoustic, 1950s-style Kay Hollowbody guitar through a DigiTech Whammy pedal set down an octave.
I'm telling you guys, Dead Leaves on the Dirty Ground and Hotel Yorba are totally worth the listen.
On a side note, I have pics I took of Hotel Yorba a few blocks west of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit.
Second this, I’d also be interested in their reaction to Ball and Biscuit especially a live vid of it
think we're going to be friends great cut
Yep, two of their best. Must hear.
Dead leaves and the dirty ground has always given me 70s vibes. Lex would probably love it
Jack white and his ex-wife Meg White.
Jack White is one of those guys that can play almost any instrument, he has been voted one of the greatest guitarist and is considered a musical genius.
You really need to hear Blue Orchid.
This! Blue Orchid live from the basement version
Yes. They're not brother and sister.
He can barely play guitar lol
@@Law-Enduring-Citizen what?
@@davidcarrillo3274 he sux 🤣
White Stripes are legit raw creativity. Unrefined. Perfect.
Ya this song really kicks.....i never paid much attention to them only heard that one song on the radio over and over and over.....
Jack White was also in The Raconteurs, which is a full band and also have some great songs like "Steady as She Goes" or "Level".

If you like the White Stripes and Black Keys give Black Pistol Fire and Blue Stones a whirl. Both are two piece bands.
Consolers of the Lonely! When Jack does that cool wiki wiki noise with his voice lol
Love Raconteurs ❤️
Check out Jack’s drumming in the Dead Weather
Absolutely LOVE Lex’s music descriptions. COMPLETELY UNIQUE and usually spot on!!!!!
"Dead leaves and the dirty ground" or "Fell in love with a girl" would be a couple of excellent follow up songs. After that, "Blue orchid" and "Astro" to get fully into them. Any song after that. 🙂
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground!!!!! My favorite.
"Blue orchid" is also a banger from them
the "From the Basement" sessions is kick ass.
You guys should react to…

The White Stripes music ranges from Country to blues to rock. Jack is an amazing musician. The songs he wrote for Cold Mountain have that early American Settlers sound to it.
That’s a bad ass sound track. I don’t usually praise music from movies, this is by far the most interesting. Fantastic
White Stripes "My Doorbell." My personal favorite. And again, really different sound to it.

Hard agree.
You mean jimmy page from yard birds or many other bands before led zeppelin
Loved the opening with him making a guitar from wood, nails, a wire, coke bottle and a 6 volt battery
@@jamesmonroe3940 Its still the same guy. His whole biography is not needed in the youtube comment section. Most of it is well known anyway.
@@jamesmonroe3940 How to be a douche within 3 seconds.
Jack White is a damn gift!
Lex's body language while listening is exactly how listen to this song every single time I hear it. I love this song.
What a brilliant description Lex.... love the band, Jack and Meg are legends
Jack white would totally approve of this song being referred to as “the space between a period and the next sentence”. Kindred spirits!
Jack White, the genius of our generation!
Lex, your analogies are the best things I've ever heard in any music reactions.
“BALL AND BISCUIT” or “THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON” are 2 bangers from the White Stripes. Lex would totally be sold on them if she listened to either, or both of those tracks.
Their cover of “I just don’t know what to do with myself” is one of my favourites 🙌🏻🤘🏻
Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground is one of my favorites! You should check out one of their live performances. All different, all brilliant
I love how Lex bops her head to every single instrument that's playing😄👍

She always reacts to the music, he always reacts more to the lyrics.
'Truth Doesn't Make A Noise' is another great one from them.
I think it's probably my favourite song of theirs. Beautiful song.
White Stripes- we are going to be friends, another totally different vibe.
Enjoy your descriptions so much, Lex!

@@POPNDOUGH yes! I forgot about that
Ahhh yes, forgot about that one! Good call.
You guys need to do the WHITE SYRIPES COVER OF JOLENE BY DOLLY PARTON
Do both versions
That would give them a great sample of a live performance by them. That's gonna be my favorite live performance by them ever, never gonna change.
YEEEESSSSS!!!! I just suggested this one on a different one of their videos 😂
I still keep “Blue Orchid,” “Fell in Love With a Girl,” “Hardest Button to Button,” and and bunch of others on shuffle. Amazing stuff, including Jack’s work with the Raconteurs.
“That much creativity usually goes terribly wrong.” Brilliant.

Nah fr, that was so cool to see/hear as a musician. People don't tap into their creative side enough, that was a great description.

I would like to see Lex's reaction to Love Interruption by Jack White
The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Jack White - all amazing and he has so many sounds. Keep Going!!
Everyone should start with "Fell in love with a girl"
You said that once before, but it bears repeating.
"Little Acorn" please & thx. When they first got big they told everyone that they were brother & sister, but the media found out they were actually married. They got a divorced while still playing together. Jack is so creative at using different sound, but he's one of the best modern guitarists.
Yes Little Acorn , Yes Red Rain too.
Kind of an ANTI guitar solo. Slaps though for sure. You can hear the notes he doesn't play, and the feeling of wanting them is powerful.
There is brilliance in their simplicity. All Bangers: Blue Orchid, Black Math, Fell in Love with a Girl, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground. Different, yet GREAT: My Doorbell, Apple Blossom, We Are Going to Be Friends.
"The Hardest Button to Button" live would be a great listen.
"The empty space, after the period and before the next sentence." Look at you getting all deep and poetic!
45 years of going to gigs and the White Stripes live at Blackpool Empress Ballroom, England in November 2005 might just have been the best of them all.A magical night.
I love seeing Brad’s robot mind reacting to Lex’s out there mind. Sometimes I’m with him and sometimes I’m like, damn Lex, that’s spot on.
Icky thump is a term for your ears ringing after bumping your head into an object. And Jack and Meg used to be married.
Thank you for sharing this with me Jack is legendary
My faves are "Blue Orchid" and "The Denial Twist" - I also hope you get a chance to check out The Black Keys (another 2 person band) "Lonely Boy" or "Tighten Up"
Lex's "[musical] elephant in the room" observation deserves a chapter in a doctoral thesis covering *the psychology of music.*

Meg is very shy and reclusive and has retreated from public life after the White Stripes. And another very good song of theirs is The Hardest Button To Button.
Brad's "What does it matter?" comment at the end is one of his best ever. No truer word's were ever spoken. Good stuff!!!

You guys really need to see "It might get loud" Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page meet up in the couch and share their life.
Another of Jack's songs that is incredible is his band "The Dead Weather" with Allison Mosshart of The Kills "Treat Me Like Your Mother"". Not only is the song sick the video is a vampire gunfight or something insane. You'll never forget it.
That was great...Awesome explanation Lex.
Lex has a brilliant mind, her insights are mind blowing!
This is my favorite WS song! Thanks for reacting to it!
And Lex, your analysis is perfect! It's alsp exactly what I like about the White Stripes
Brad lit up on "you cant me a pimp and a prostitute too"...lol that's a good line.
You should check out Jack White's other band, The Dead Weather. Try their track 'Blue Blood Blues'. You would really like it I think.
or The Raconteurs
Treat Me Like Your Mother hits me so harder
the way he totally shreds these songs live is something else man, you should check it out-
