Seven Nation Army has one of the most recognizable riffs of all time. It’s melody has become a global sports anthem. And while it might sound like it’s played on a bass guitar that sound is created by Jack White's semi-acoustic guitar brought down an octave by a guitar pedal. The band never used a bass guitar until the album that followed. And that had to do in part with the band’s obsession with the number three.
- They only ever used three colours on their album covers, promotional materials and on stage.
- Their third album was recorded in three days
- Jack White likes to throw the number onto the end of his name.
- His record label is Third Man Records
- He wrote a song for Loretta Lynn that was exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds long…
Alright I might be stretching it with that last one. But where The Stripe’s rule of three was most evident was in their sound. Since they played as a two-piece on stage, aside from vocals, each of them could only play one instrument at a time. The group would add more elements to their minimalist composition over time, but always came back to rock’s three main ingredients of:
Guitar, drums and vocals.
They found liberation in limiting themselves. It forced them to be creative with a small tool kit. And there is a quality in that simplicity. Seven Nation Army has become timeless. There are more people who know the tune than those who even know it’s authors. Making Seven Nation Army The Last Great American Folk Song.

It's honestly insane how one song can change an entire stadium of people, entire cities, etc. by just one catchy as hell guitar. Shows how the power of music can change people.
Yes, it does! 😊
As a Music major, this makes me happy :)
The fact that it’s so simple too. easier to play than smoke on the water and 100x better imo.
i understand what you try to say, but i think the verb is "stick", not "change"
This song didn't "change" anything
It's not like people transforms, and become less agressive, or less competitive, or anything different. They're still a bunch of drunks on a football match
If it wasnt this song, they would be just singing another one, but the effect would be the same.
I guess the song is not a cause, raher an effect
Don't hate my comment please, i also love to get drunk and submerge into the masses from time to time. And sing stuff that gets us together. It's very human and primal
And i agree with all your comment, except the "change" part
The song rocks
As an Italian, I'll forever associate this song to the victory in the 2006 Fifa World Cup of the Azzurri ^^.
Italy won again!
Rock's three main ingredients, Guitar, Drums, and vocals
Bass: Am I a joke to you?
Bass: Yup. Sadly, there’s just too many great bass jokes out there, so there’s just no way to stop it by now. Sorry! 😀
Considering that Jack White could play guitar and bass by himself with a pedal and one guitar really they aren't needed for at least the stripes
well Bass is a type of guitar, Also a fish which can be a joke when its that plastic one that sings. incidentally you could probably make Billy Bass sing Seven Nation Army...
Twenty one pilots I think play bass and no guitar
Not even bass players like bass players.

It blows my mind to realize only now that "a 7 nation army couldn't hold me back" fits perfectly to defeating the football team of seven nations to win the championship!
I just realized that
I’ve always been amazed that The White Stripes aren’t thought of at Rolling Stones or Zeppelin level legendary. Yeah, 7 Nation Army is a good song and has turned into what this video is about, but the white stripes have sooooo many epic songs, I’ve always loved this band. Honestly, Jack White is a music genius and one of the best guitar players out there
I agree.
Give it a few more years and they will be. I only recently got heavily into the band. Obvs it all started with 7 nation. But I think that’s their issue; many would think of them as a one hit wonder; yet their other songs are amazing as well.
@@connordougherty9860 the fact that Jack White is brilliant you just have to listen to the dead weather and rancatours among all his projects to take it all in....

From what I gather about jack White he actually would hate this
@@strawberrykicker2 I'm pretty sure he's very pleased with the fact that Seven Nation Army has a life of its own as a piece of culture.

@@Captain_Neckbeard You are a jerk, she has skills and complimented Jack, they were a team. As someone who has no musical skills you are insulting me also. I love music but can't play or sing. So Jerk post a link to you drumming.

Fun fact: Jack White mispronounced the salvation army as a kid and that where the name comes from

Meg White's drumming is the centerpiece of Seven Nation Army.
As a drummer myself, I couldn't give a rats arse how good she can drum. It rocks and it's an original sound. I love it!
@bike suisala you dont have to be good to rock
The fact that Seven Nation Army is considered a folk song makes me feel something I cannot describe
What do you mean
@@bonesplinter3587 they said they cannot describe it smh
Try
Is it because you don't know what a folk song is?
@@Fitz1993 When it's basically the go-to chant for a sports event that half the world watches, I'd say - yeah, it's a folk song
And not just any folk song, but an international folk song - because it's sung by all sorts of countries' fans
Idk man.
People talk shit about Meg but she can really hit those drums hard and for like hours on end without losing time at all.
Proper Noun people that shit on meg are the same people that think drumming fast=drumming good.
@@Shellacious *well*
Exactly. Some of the best drummers in the world could be considered "primitive" drummers because of their minimalist style: Ringo Starr, Dave Grohl (in Nirvana days), etc. All of them were perfect for the bands they were in, and ego-fuelled drum fills wouldn't have worked with the sound each band was aiming for.
Her movements aren't smooth and she looks a little awkward, so i can see why people might call her style 'primitive', but it works for what she's doing....
You might even say..... that she's marching to the beat of her own drum
You must be rhythm-challenged.
I was watching a british person react to american sports fans and when they did this chant he said "i didnt know americans knew this chant" and thats when i really realized how much of a phenomenon this song had become. crazy. To me i still just remember this as a decently popular song on the radio one time.
i've been looking for the song at 5:16 for years, i can't believe i randomly found it because of a video about football 😭
If they recorded under Universal Music Group, everyone in the stadium would be sued.
True
speaking of being sued😭now tiktok can't use any of their music
One of the rarest of couple that stay friends like nothing ever happened.
Geez I feel old remembering when we won the 2006 world cup, this song really has become the Po Po Po Po Po Po Po song...
If a drummer can keep time, that's really all you need.
John Bonham: *am I a joke to you?*
Stop using JC Denton's picture you sheep
Well to be fair yeah you don’t need a super technical, lightning fast drummer, if they can keep time that’s all you need which is why even Phil Rudd is a good drummer, take it from me I am one
You are 110% correct as having a weak drummer actual makes the other instruments sound more complex. The Beach Boys (more accurately Brian Wilson) used that to his advantage quite often.
@@BrandonCuringtonOfficial *Buddy Rich, Joe Morello, Louie bellson...
Meg White's drumming style is primitive, but that's not always a bad thing. White Stripes would not be White Stripes without that distinct sound.
morphman86 agreed. It’s part of the attraction
Rock on!!!!!!!
I think you have distinctive and unique stuff like this in many bands. Take Tom Delonge's poor singing for example in Blink 182
Yep! Exactly. It's the same way many Beatles fans (and the band) felt toward Ringo Starr. Was he the best drummer? Of course not. But he was definitely the best Beatle.
+Forlorn Skies Ringo is one of the very best drummers alive. He plays what is right for that song, no more, no less.
I LOVE Jack and his bands he's been in. Thank you SOOOO much for making this video
Hell yeah! I'm Italian and that was our chant during 2006 world Cup. The most awesome thing was the day after with the crowd in Rome chanting as the football team were on their way!

ssp6767 clever
Meg is so underrated. It's easy to talk shit about her drumming, but if you watch a live show of theirs, the two are so in sync and her sense of improvisation is incredible. Such a valuable band member.
Agreed she’s great
Most overrated band ever.
Let’s just say I would take Lars Ulrich a million times over her
No no no. She is hot garbage. I will not let her shitty drumming be confused with “raw” or some bs term. Her tempo and lack of independence is so bad that it pulls me out of songs.
I’m not a guy who requires all songs to have perfect tempo and be in complex time signatures with tons of flash. I’m aware that quantization and DAW’s killed rock. I know that some slack and feel is what makes rock, rock. But you still have to have some competence on the drum set. She lacked any form of dynamic control and ability to flow with Jack’s vocals and guitars.
There are 8 million other drummers that could have played with a heavier less technically focused style that would complement Jack’s vocals and guitar better.
Trying to listen to Ball and Biscuit is genuinely painful. Listening to her rush and drag every other measure on a blues riff makes me want to ram my head into a wall. She sucks.
@@titoslounge1946 amen
You never know when you watch a video like this. This was well-thought out, included good information on the Stripes and excellent insight.
What I find impressive about them is that you would think they were a full band with the way they carry their instruments, but it really is just the two of them
As a Belgian I can confirm that seven nation army is one of the most famous song here. People sing it everywhere.
WOOSH_POLICE ohhhh Kevin de Bruyne
Can you confirm how to pronounce Club Brugge cause I've heard like three different pronunciations and I don't know what one is right
Belgium is not even a country but nice taste of music you have.
@@tylersteinberg6468 It has two different pronounciations. A flemish/dutch way and a french way.
It's difficult to explain because the dutch 'g' isn't used in the english language.
And I don't know the french way.
@@tylersteinberg6468 as a true brugge fan I can confirm that the guy in the vid mispronounces it.
And besides a flemish/Dutch and a French way, there's even a west-flemish way with the stress even more on the g (that how you can spot the true inhabitants and supporters of brugge)
To say meg white is a bad drummer is kind of just missing the point of the white stripes and the genius of the sound.
Lars again isnt the greatest drummer of all time but his style and skill (regardless of level) compliments metallica nicely which is why they got so big. Bands rarely if at all make it to the big leagues off the back of one member each one has to bring something to the table. RHCP for example, Flea on Bass one of the best bassists of all time arguably but wouldn't probably have gone as a far without the super star talent that makes up the rest of the band.
It's not about are they they best drummer. It's about are they the best drummer for what they're trying to achieve. Lars Ulrich and Meg White fit that role perfectly.
@@KantFromEC Lars has probably been covered up by a backing track for the last 15 years, don't kid yourself
When people say she's a bad drummer, they don't mean that she can't do complex beats or can't hit fast. When people say she's a bad drummer it's because she can't keep time, she can't maintain a steady beat.
Yeah! Sure Meg has bad technique, timing and has similar tense playing style as a newbie drummer but I still respect her! She picked the drums up and managed to write a tune with her limited playing ability that got world famous!
There’s one thing I’ll always love, music. I find this video honestly beautiful and I’m not even trying to be dramatic. Its just that awesome seeing stuff like this.
Jack himself didn't even know why iy became a stadium chant 😂
funny I was just watching a cruise ship blast this song on their horns and now I’m watching this
I watched that video too but I’m a fan of this song I don’t really listen to the band that much I just listen to aic and Nirvana
me too!
That happened to me today. The cruise ship was suggested, then this.
Same
Literally just came from that video. Great stuff.
At school I would play “We Will Rock You” and “Seven Nation Army” by hitting my head against my textbook
@Craig Finger Have a great day
@Craig Finger yee a nice haw
That's literally every single school lol
Oh....so THAT'S what's wrong wit' ya....... ;-D
Thank you for this. I LITERALLY had wondered about this.
Really good summation.
My current band (The Unwanted) plays this song. People absolutely love hearing it. Having a crowd all clapping along with that kick drum is a pretty cool sight from up on stage...
The white stripes wouldn't sound the same without meg. I'm sure thats why she's in the band. Jack wouldn't have jamed with her if she wasn't a kick ass drummer.
Nah, I'm sure it's because he ain't playing all the instruments himself.
She is not a kick ass drummer, she plays what the band needs and nothing more. That's not to say she's bad or makes the band worse; she isn't good, but the band wouldn't sound good with a better drummer.
I read somewhere that he loved the very simplistic almost childlike way she played the drums
Brandon Thomas
Meg is actually a trash drummer, and don’t thrash me. I’m actually better than her.
@@Aromatic-ring but again, she have millions of dollars and you have an RUclips account. Congrats.
As long as her drumming is good, why give her slack for it? I really love the chemistry between the two. I love how much this song took off and how it’s a song that doesn’t have to be complicated to be intimidating and powerful.
her drumming being bad is what makes the song sound 'alternative' or 'real'. Every time music gets too polished and manufactured sounding like glam rock, people playing badly with originality, like the punk movement, become popular.
The reason people were giving slack for it wasn't because the music was bad it was because she was going about it all wrong. First of all she was right handed and was trying to play the set like a righty. Second of all she holding sticks with clenched fists which not only will kill the palm of your hand it will also make the drum sound terrible because her clenched fist s prevents her from getting the proper rebound out of the drums. Also when she hits the drums she tends to use her whole arm to do it, which not only terrible for endurance but also terrible for power, articulation and rhythmic precision. When your hitting the drum all the power comes from the wrist, the arms are just the guides. Another thing to note is that when she grips her sticks she always grips it by the bottoms, near the butts of the sticks. You are never supposed to do that because its a fantastic way for you loose your sticks while your playing.
Yet despite all that she managed to pull it all off and with a bit of guidance and maybe a couple drum lessons I could see her growing into an incredibly talented drummer.
Yeah some times simple is all you need. I'm not the best drummer but I'm alright,pretty confident I could play this song. I'm a female drummer & in a band w/my guitarist for many yrs. The White Stripes have made me feel like itz ok to be a 2 piece band.
“Giving someone some slack” is another way of saying you’re taking it easy on them. The exact opposite of how you’re using it.
You’re thinking of “giving someone some flak”.
But I’m not going to give you flak about it. I’ll cut you some slack.
@@ChopASk8 if you’ve been a drummer for many years and you can’t play “7 nation army” you may as well give it up.
I work at a stadium as a food runner (its essentially give rich people food) and hearing this song after every goal or really whenever it is. It’s unforgettable and magical till this day.
Solid efforts for this !!! I applaud 👏 you .

Nah Thorazine you’re just dumb
@@kippmiller4139 the word dumb means that somebody can't speak. You're just stupid.
1:05 That was a genius choice to use that song as your example for that. Not only did each element come in within a perfect time frame of each other for the pacing of the video, but Jack White singing "It's quite possible that I'm your _third_ man" capped it off quite nicely.
its also a really good song lol
Best White Stripes song. THE perfect marriage between punk and blues.
each element came in on time because it was edited that way, but other than that yeah
fotm07 - Ah, that makes sense. Well, still ... Haha.
It's always those small attention to details that speak volumes of your love for your craft!
Another example of Jack's love for the number three, in the song he plays in the video, "Ball and Biscuit" Jack sings, "It's quite possible I'm your THIRD man" Just something I noticed
Starting a chant or a wave in a huge stadium is such a crazy feeling it almost makes me tear up for some reason
What’s wrong about Megs drumming techniques? I thought rock and roll doesn’t go by the rules
DragMeToHell 666 oh boy, do I have some news for you
DragMeToHell 666 Tell that to Danny Seraphine or Ian Paice.
DragMeToHell 666 Rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t play by any rules, but by any standard, her drumming is a little loose. Charming and awesome, but loose.
@GREEN GHOST She plays very similarly to Lars Ulrich, the only difference is that Metallica is a band that needs a better drummer. She plays in a way that could cause severe muscle and bone damage, but she doesn't play enough notes for that to be a legitimate concern. If Carter Beauford played with his wrists constantly stressed like she does he would have been forced into retirement by arthritis years ago, she doesn't play with the speed, velocity, or aggression that he plays with, so she likely won't have that problem. She's not good, but she doesn't need to be, because white stripes doesn't need a good drummer. There are so many amazing women drumming out there, she just isn't one of them, same as there being amazing men drumming and Lars not being one of them.
@GREEN GHOST
"You don't know her personally... you don't even know what kind of drummer she really is" 😂
Are you trolling?
We have ears we don't need to know her life story
If anyone is judging her based on the fact that she's a girl it is you. Everyone else here actually comments on the music.
They thought anything but Seven Nation Army would be a great lead single? Were they high?
Probably
So did Nirvana. They thought that Smells Like Teen Spirit wouldn't work out
Everyone's a genius with hindsight.
Hindsight is 20/20
Michael Wade If that confuses you, remember that Bohemian Rhapsody was not seen as a good single by Queen's producers

She is the perfect drummer for their music. Anything else wouldn't sound right.
Grand Wazoo agreed. Her perfect imperfections give it a garage band sound
I have straight up had a marathon of your videos today dude
You laid this out like a Red carpet, doc.. excellent job!
I love Megs drumming. Basic doesn't mean bad. Complexity doesn't always make things better. Her style is straightforward and that's exactly the sound they were going for. Just simple, old fashioned rock. No protools and a bunch of technical stuff. They had that garage band vibe which i love and the simplicity is a huge and fun inspiration to me and many others. It's like going to someones house and watching a couple people fuck around and just have fun.. and they brought that feel to their albums and the stage.
Old people: music nowadays doesn’t connect people!

Ah! Misspelling is tight!
Old timers are right, since that was seventeen years ago

Lol, it's a 20 year old song. 40+ year olds today where the ones who most likely first heard this song when it came out.
I have never seen spelling so horrendous
Surprisingly correct. Great research.
this song has been stuck in my head for weeks now
Here in Brazil, is pretty common to sing repeatedly "eu não vou embora" with the chords of Seven Nation Army. Translated, it means "I'm not going to leave", people sing this usually at the end of a game, a show or just something that is too good to end
(considering that soccer is a big thing here, these chords being so known is not a surprise)
This video is the most accurate report on how the song became a stadium anthem. Moreover, it became the most sang song for AS Roma fans that year, who also made a stadium choreography with its musical notes. It was then AS Roma fans to bring it to 2006 World Cup and let it be the anthem for the Italian National team.
Actually during the celebration in Rome, Marco Materazzi took the mike ans sang: "Siamo i campioni del mondo" on those notes ;-) Rome said, hey we like it and we know how t properly sing it, so they turned it into a chant.
I would argue this song even as simplistic as it is an absolute masterpiece.
Yeah I remember the chant with the sooners because as a football fan I got hooked on it. At first, I didn't know it but it caught on and it got me hyped up for football every time😂

I was gonna say the same thing lol
It's still in the UK top 30 indie chart right now
lunah lulah properly due to wc in russia, bringing it back to people's heads, & playlists...
Kurt Sudheim true! that probably explains why it’s so high, although it has been in the chart (I’m not sure what position) for 478 weeks now
Awesome! Also thanks for including footage of my team Celtic’s supporters at 6.16!
Playing a game and hearing Seven Nation Army reminds of the pressure. Its gives you a moment to think
Dude, this is so cool. I had no idea how it started until now.
Listen to "Fell in love with a girl"!
Meg White deserves the title of "percussionist"!
One of the best videos I've ever watched on RUclips
Amazing and adorable chant, I love it! Brazil, July 2022.
