AVAA : screw the clicks and views talk about the music that moves you. Always looking forward to your takes
Came here to say the same
I’m here for the rock videos Skye, I’m missing thunder ground Thursday for some more lesser known rock acts. AVAA! I liked this new Jack White album quite a bit
I came to this channel for the Hip Hop music reviews. I've stayed for the perspective. I don't think organized stream of consciousness has ever been this entertaining.
Jack White is an artist I've always just taken for granted. Then I watched the recent concert for Detroit and wondered how in the FUH eminem was going to follow him onstage. Think I'll be adding some White Stripes, Racantours,etc. back to my playlist... 👀
AVAA
AVAA, now i am by no means a rock fan (to this day i have no idea if zed leppelin is a band or one person) but i am here to learn, to hear el señor cielo's unique perspectives and insights. So bring on them rock vids
Led Zeppelin is a band. Give “Led Zeppelin 3” a chance.
@@professorskye i shall do my homework prof 😤
@@PabloHernandez-rr1or Led Zeppelin is in the conversation for best rock band of all times. Every member of the band are in the conversation for greatest on their instrument in rock history. If you’re a hip hop head like me, listen to When The Levee Breaks, THEM DRUMS!!!
@@p90bridge thank u! I am indeed a big hip hop head, just listened to them drums and they are majestic
Avaa haven't heard the albun but i told myself i'd listen to the album concurrently with the review. I am now 20 minutes in and we just started talking about the songs. I only just now remembered my promise to myself. Thank you for the ramble.
I’m really enjoying this haha you’ve made me laugh out loud many times and I’ve only now started hearing the review. I love those stories haha poor Boatright. Did you look closely? Might’ve been ole’ “white jack” haha
one thing I’ll add: as one who discovered my love and joy for the white one in 2014…. my heart was broken and he was all “when I say nothing, I say everything “ and I was like YES!! I’m in!! haha the lyrical content in the songs from what I’ve gathered is more personal than you’d think. I reached this conclusion after I joined the Vault that year, and asked him in a chat “when will you write a love song?” And he replied, “they’re all love songs.” I was like noooo they aren’t haha but his response echoed in my mind… I’ve come to believe (a decade later) that it’s true. Love drives this man. Deeply. Try thinking about every song through that lens: when you think it’s politics, it’s Love. When you think it’s incoherent nonsense, it’s Love. When you think it’s hipster hypocrisy huff & stuff - it’s Love. It’s all LOVE.
Love straps us onto the back of “No Name” like we’re on Disney’s space mountain … click-click-click up we go …. Hold on….. up … we … go…….
the first tune has him dropping us off in the wilderness, warning us about the machine that just ate his quarter. So we see right at the start that we’re in a rock exploration of that machine. We get to feel the power of Love beckoning him higher with each song.
Spiritually, “No Name” seems like great progress in a long hard journey back to center of Johnny Guitar’s own soul. That’s where beloved sister-wife Meg still lives. She’s been everything to him. And on some level inside, she always will.
So, to me, this album is the pursuit of Love, joy, freedom, goodness, and true untethered rock. Ultimately, it’s the pursuit of God Himself…. and the sound and feel of a man transforming into his potential in Love. A revolutionary Love messenger of sorts. That’s why it’s so good. 🩵🩵🩵
Ok .. sorry haha …. Wrote a book here! Let’s talk about it sometime if you’d like, professor- that’d be great fun.
I’ll get back to your review now haha wow I hope you liked this album … wouldn’t that be funny if you say you hated it and I just didn’t watch far enough into it haha …
I’ll finish it now haha I’ll watch your Smile review next. Love Thom & Jonny!
That’s a hilarious name by the way - thank your lil’ boy! what a sweet lil’ racist you’re raising up there haha KIDDING 🎉 God bless you & yours with tons of that big pure LOVE 🤍🤍🤍🎉🎉🎉🌷🌷🌷 💙💙💙
AVAA: The New Abnormal was the Strokes’ sixth album, which was released 19 years after their debut. The Rolling Stones’ sixth album was Their Satanic Majesties Request, which was released three years after their debut. Even if we pretend that Aftermath was their real debut (just so that we only allow for one cover or less per album), that would make Sticky Fingers their sixth. By 1981’s Tattoo You, the Stones were on their 16th studio release. Artists aren’t simply as proficient as they used to be (unless you are the King Gizzard guys).
The market conditions under which they operate are too different. By the Stones’ 25th year they had released three times the albums the Strokes have released thus far. This comparison is as silly as the singles chart success between MJ and Drake, imo.
No Name and b741 coming out back to back is the revival of real rock and roll baby. Like seriously we are living in good times right now
2 of my favorite. Jack white being number 1 but guzz being the best rock band of the last 10nyrs or so
My dad toured with Loretta Lynn in '04, then in his mid-30's. On maybe 2 of the dates, Jack White appeared onstage with them. Didn’t even cross his mind whenever I discovered his music as a preteen. I incessantly asked him if whether or not he spoke with JW during either of those dates. He vaguely remembers but told me he didn't register a second of his work, deciding to keep it cordial. He was amazed by his knowledge of classic country and the first ripples of countrypolitan, so much so that he decides to collaborate with a legend as his first choice and first solo venture.
However, his own "mid-20's music death" came at age 17 around 1987.
There is a bit of chuddy post grunge tinge to him I didn't pick up on in the earlier stripes stuff, but that's all a matter of taste and maybe just how more detailed and precise his playing and tastes have gotten? In my mind i was hoping for something like a Desire but with a more lo-fi edge, but it I'm getting more of a revisiting the past but now vibe, but yeah I guess you hit the point that maybe White Jack's strength was never the kind of storytelling that could hold a Desire up? It would still be interesting to hear him try.
16:10 professor skye got me dying on his super accurate take on swaggering advertisement blues rock. AVAA drink jim beam cotton candy you wussy 🤣🤣
this video is dense with discourse. 18:21 i went to a concert by artist jackie venson this year she plays guitar based multi genre music but i was wearing an erykah badu shirt trying to signal which type of fan i actually am because the R&B vibes are the main element im drawn to.
i learned about this channel by the kendrick and drake beef but there is so much insight i keep returning
Great analysis. No Name is a game changer for rock right now, imo. Everything a rock album should be, but mostly FUN!
❤️ Memphis. My sister just moved there. Can’t wait to visit! Jack White 👍🏼
Jack is the ultimate technician and student of the genre of The Blues. He is a disciple of the legendary Sun House and this record harkens back to that playbook. With this album he has as many solo releases as he did with The White Stripes; the man's catalog is exceptional, and we are lucky to have him. BTW Jimmy Paige stole from Willie Dixon not the Wolf
The white stripes were married. I thought they were brother and sister for the longest time.
My favorite of Jack's solo stuff, which has never quite matched up with White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather.
AVAA. You gonna upset the rock fogeys with that video title. I'm glad that someone's willing to say bands now make better late career albums than many classic rock bands did.
I love the new album of Jack White
One of my fav of 2024
Rock is still alive 🔥🔥🔥
I dont care what they say
Big love from South America
Townes van Zandt's Dead Flowers is way cooler. Everything's cooler, when TvZ is performing it 😂
This album should crack the Top 5 from 2024 (being conservative). That sweet sweet rock and roll is un-killable.
thank you prof for being you
Old Scratch is also a term for the Devil
Came here to say this, 6 days late. Glad you got here earlier! I'd say in this context, it is almost certainly only a term for the devil!
I love Jack White, he is phenomenal. But saying Jack White is better than Led Zeppelin is rock n roll heresy
AVAA. I cannot help it. I love The Black Keys.
Came to hear about white jack, stayed for honey whisky and band t-shirt rants 😂
Always a band t-shirt on. Only the type I got. They are old too. Buy a t-shirt at every concert I like. I must be allowed to get in so I have new shirts when others get ragged? 😂 AVAA
White Jack had an uninspired show here in Oslo just the other day. Hope the album is better. Taking a listen now…
Absolutely
29:20 um, yeah! Damn, Skye. Calling me out. AVAA
AVAA. We love your nonsense stories, professor!
There are many parallels between the 60s and 2020s, so we might be leaving the shadow. Those drummers are technically proficient, just maybe not virtuosic.
Completely agree I can live without bacon, but not scallops. AVAA
Married now divorced
I’ll call white frank white till the end.
Jack has accomplished as much as Led Zeppelin did. Zeppelin did it first, and not in the exact same way. There’s room and need for them both
Married. ✌🏼
Wearing a Wilco T-shirt to assert your masculinity lol
Yes and yes! Thanks for your insights.
Don't care for rock in 2024, but I do always care for the story time and the long winded intro.:)

Old Scratch is a name for the devil
Meme with the moon and two astronauts - he always has been better
LET ME SAVE YOU SOME TIME
NOO HE’S NOT
absolutely not.
25 years in? absolutely
He's zeppelin all in 1. He doesn't do anything better than zeppelin hut he does it all so that puts him right up there
@@danlovepeaceunity lmao
Did you watch the video? He intentionally does the clickbait thing with titles
I think at this point Jack is better than Led Zeppelin his discography is incredible and innovative he's a massive rock music nerd who actually credits his influences instead of just ripping them off and appropriating them like LZ did
In actual fact, Zeppelin credited Willie Dixon for two songs on the first album, Memphis Minnie on IV and Robert Johnson, Ben E King, Sleepy John Estes on other releases. All without prompting.
Just because they didnt always credit doesn't mean they never credited. They did. Over half a dozen times.
Far more stole from and ripped off Zeppelin than Zeppelin ripped off.
Get informed, sunshine.
I’m a huge Jack White fan, but even if you exclude all the songs that Led Zeppelin covered or ripped off, they are still the greatest rock band who has existed. Each member is one of the most influential musicians in their field. Whole lot of love, stairway to heaven, dazed and confused?? Throw it in the trash. It doesn’t matter because they have over 5 hours of material that they wrote and each one of those songs would be most bands best song.
No he is not
the title is super annoying
led zeppelin is cheeks theyve been unnecessary for like 35 years now. they havent done a thing any other band has been doing better by now for decades
Bullshit.
Anyone who has that opinion doesn’t deserve an opinion on rock music.
