Next you'l be telling us that he hasn't heard "Son of My Father" by Chicory Tip, let alone "Guantanamera", "Cwm Rhondda", or Verdi's "La donna è mobile" !
The best part about the bass is that it doesn't exist. That's a guitar tuned low. This song is of my absolute favorites. I can't wait to see your reaction to the solo!
@@amwilliams1502 I've seen them do it live. It doesn't sound near as good as studio. There is only so much you can do when you are covering 3 peoples parts. But it was very good if you give the allowance that he is doing 3 peoples parts (4 if you include vocals).
@@amwilliams1502 That's not quite right. It's a Digitech Whammy pedal that is used which is a pitch shifting device that allows up to a two octave shift in intonation through a rocking pedal. The device can be set to various intervals (perhaps a major or minor scale) as required so you don't ever hit a "wrong" note. You are right though that Jack has it set to full (2 octaves lower) for the main riff which is played on a guitar. See Tom Morello to understand how it can be used very musically and effectively.
I second this, exactly what I came here to say. Jack White goes solo not too long after this album, and Icky Thump is a crazy song that showcases his uniqueness and skill on the guitar.
Jack White is a genius. Yes him and Meg were married. She is Meg White and Jack took her surname when they married 😎 Try the Raconteurs too. Another of Jacks bands.
Jack White in my 57 years of music loving is one of the most genuine musical talents ever. His solo career is growing in legend and diversity. His James Bond soundtrack song with Alicia Keys was one of the best in a LONG history of great Bond songs. Another band with only 2 people that blew me away are Royal Blood. The Black Keys are another solid 2 piece band.
Your daily confirmation: Pause, rewind, talk as much as you want! I listen to new reactors to learn how you interpret music that is a part of my musical history. You do it g😊😊d.
If you haven't seen the movie "It Might Get Loud" I highly recommend it. Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White sit around while playing guitars and talk about their musical influences and styles.
Blew my mind to know you’ve not heard this song before! You probably recognise it from people singing the riff. Sports crowds will sing this riff now all over the world. I basically started playing guitar because of Jack White. I was 14 when this came out, I saw them live and could not believe what I was hearing! White Stripes in a nutshell is Meg White playing a very simple but effective drum beat and Jack White laying down everything else. Strange relationship. Jack would always introduce Meg as his Sister which people believed at first and then it was found out that they were a couple, they married and Jack took Meg’s last name of White. They then divorced but remained friends and Jack kept Meg’s name. This was their biggest song but they had a lot of other big songs. This was just a monster hit though due to possibly writing the catchiest riff of all time!
hahaha, I legit thought I was going mad. My comment that I just made before scrolling the other comments starts with "Blows my mind that you haven't heard this!". **highfive**
I've always suspected that Jack White's decision to present himself and Meg as brother and sister had something to do with Dexter Romweber (a major influence for him) and the fact that Dexter's sister Sara was a drummer. She always played with other bands, but she did play with her brother later in his career. I seem to remember her saying in an interview that she found it difficult at first to simplify her drumming style when she started playing with Dexter in the Flat Duo Jets. I've always been a fan of The Flat Duo Jets and Let's Active (one of Sara's first bands), so when The White Stripes came along it was just a natural conclusion for me to draw... although, I could be wrong, of course.
@@Dervanism That's so cool! I've seen him do a couple songs w a very talented violin/fiddle player... (had to go look up her name, Lillie Mae Rische). Love to learn where that influence came from!!
Whites Stripes are super underrepresented when it comes to YT reactions, hope you check out more than just a couple songs! Jack White's solo stuff is also a must listen, The Raconteurs and the Dead Weather are both great as well.
Pause and talk where ever you want… if people want to listen to the song without pauses, they can just listen to the song. We are here for your reaction and commentary ❤
There was a televised festival and the White Stripes played it. I wasn't a fan but was captivated by their set. Literally couldn't turn it off. Brilliant pair of musicians. Also the album Elephant is awesome.
I can definitely say that the bass riff in this song, is hands down perfect!!!!! Its catchy, dark, powerful, its a hook, its the opener and its the closer, all at the same time!!!!!! Kick ass tune!!!🤘
At just after Wichita (8:00 min. mark) he points to his hand between his thumb and wrist. He’s pointing to Detroit. Michigan looks like a mitten, so when we tell people where we’re from, we raise our right hand and point to the area. Trust me, I’ve pointed to that exact spot thousands of times.
I'm from the Detroit area but lived in Illinois for awhile and when I would tell people where I was from I'd point on my hand and they would give me weird looks like what are you doing dude. 😅
@@jerryward3311 I lived in Vegas for a while and a co-worker set me up for a joke once. He already knew about the hand, so he asks “hey, where’s Traverse City at?” I show him and he plays dumb. So I explain it and he says “that don’t work.” I said it’s worked fine my whole life. He goes “oh, so where’s Marquette?” I go, “you as*hole” and he starts laughing his ass off.
Foo Fighters and White Stripes all in one day, you're on a roll young man. I gotta say, I saw what happened to you about a minute into The Pretender reaction and it hit me just seeing it. I never saw a music reactor have that kind of moment before and damn, it's a priceless one. Keep sharing the music brother, peace.
Love these guys, they are one of a kind. Check these out too - "Dead leaves and the dirty ground", "Black Math", "You're pretty good looking", "Fell in love with a girl", "Blue Orchid", "Icky Thump"
Hey🎉so grateful to find your channel! Best picks and amazing reactions from you! I have gone from what ever pops up to the beginning’s just to enjoy your reactions. Stay true to your heart and soul!
Jack White is a monster. He's like Clapton - a member of various great bands and an equally brilliant solo career. After the White Stripes, there's the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather (he played drums in that group), and collabs with other artists. I saw him on a solo tour last year, and holy shit, bruv.
@@whome1299 Broken Boy Soldiers is the 1st, Consolers of the Lonely is the second, both great. Saw them live in Nashville after the 1st album came out & it was an amazing show, smaller venue w general admission so I was able to squeeze up almost to the stage - unforgettable!! I still have the shirt from that show lol!
I am really surprised you didnt recognize or have not heard this song ever before, I dare to say this might be one of the top 10 most famous/recognizable melodies of all time because of the impact it has had in sporting events or so, it really is an anthem everywhere 🤘🏻
Ball and Biscuit is by far their best song... I've been playing guitar very badly for a long time so I definitely know what good guitar sounds like.....
Its Jack White. He was everywhere. White Stripes were apart of the Garage Band Revival of the early 2000s. Garage Rock was huge in the early 60s like the Kinks, the Who and early Beatles.
I'll never forget my first time hearing this. I was on the toilet in the midst of trying and failing to squeeze out the very worst opiate of induced constipation and though all my stomach muscles were cramping I still couldn't help but play air guitar during the chorus.
Blue Orchid is another fantastic White Stripes song, Jack White went on to make equally great solo albums. His song Sixteen Saltines is another great one.
YES! WS has a HUGE catalogue! Take suggestions and keep going down the hole! This bass line gets played all over stadiums in American sports games. You may have heard it there.
Yes. More White Stripes please. There’s so much to choose from. Definitely check out Fell in Love with a Girl/ Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground from MTV. Their live shows play to both of their strengths as musicians. They feed off each other. It’s mesmerizing honestly.
They used to try and play off they were brother and sister when they originally came out. But they were actually married. They have divorced since and the band broke up. They originally came about in the mid to late 90’s. jack (the male) was in a documentary with jimmy page from led zeppelin and the edge from U2 called it might get loud. Really good movie.
1 guitarrist and 1 drummer making all this glorious sound. WS is a rabbit hole. This song is played at virtually every sporting event. I can't say this for across the pond though. It's a bit long as a set of around 3 or 4 songs but the YT video White Stripes - From the basement is a definite watch in awe,
Here's 5 songs that are some of my personal favorites that I think you will really enjoy 1. Electric Worry-Clutch 2. Stone The Crow-Down 3- When My Train Pulls In(live in Glastonbury)-Gary Clark Jr 4-Busy Bein Born-Middle Class Rut 5-Black Friday Rule(Whiskey on a Sunday live version)-Flogging Molly
The White Stripes were pretty cool...you could definitely do more of them. Yes, they were a couple: Jack & Meg White. This song was on their fourth record: Elephant. The album came out in 2003.
This was a banger that summer in 2003. So many remixes. I remember listening to Pete Tong and other DJs on BBC Radio 1 and this was A-rotation all summer.
Hello from across the pond. In Lancaster California. I'd dig it if you got into some Rush. I believe you did one, maybe two reactions? If you started with the first album, I think you might dig the blues vibe. The first album was done with the original drummer and co-founder of Rush, John Rutsey. The same year, the first album came out, and they replaced John with Neil Peart. I, for one, dig it. Geddy Lee wrote a majority of it with Alex Lifeson there helping. I'm 56, I dig that you are expanding your musical artists and genres. It's good to see your generation listen to older stuff. Hey, if I like it, I don't care what genres it is. Keep up the great content. Take care and be well. David
Glad you’re broadening your listening to different bands. “I think I smell a rat is another great by the white stripes If you want a distinct dark bassline try “archives of pain” off of the holy bible album (would recommend a lyric video cuz it’s got some great lyrics to go with it) ♥️
This song is amazing, it's just a shame that it got so overplayed, to the point where it is inescapable. Every sporting event, every shop, anywhere you go, there is either this version, or people covering it, or turning it into a chant. You can have too much of a good thing.
Jack is so talented. And versatile... He's got songs on the soundtrack of the film "Cold Mountain"... Bluegrass! (It stars Nicole Kidman and Jude Law. And himself!)
It is a madter class in "riff stacking". First, the bass riff, which us actually not a bass but his guitar played thru an octave pedal down 1 octave. Then. Stack the "rythm" guitar riff on that for most of the song, except the E-A bridge. In the second 'verse: he stacks a 'lead'guitar riff with a 'Cream' guitar sound (tasty by the way) over the rythm guitar riff for a littke more depth and flavor. All this over a mesmerizing but oh so simple drum rythm. Simple, Perfect. Infectious.
Glad you went down the White Stripes Rabbit Hole. Jack White can do more with piece of wood slab and a guitar string nailed down over a glass bottle and a elec pickup than most of today's guitar players. Try "Icky Thump" next. Oh and some of his more mellow blues songs are a treat as well! Thanks for playing along!
A good friend, John, who was our drummer, introduced me to the White Stripes when their first album was released. I was immediately hooked. John passed away over a decade ago, but I know he’s still jamming along. Jack White has a very unique style. Loved your reaction and your phrase, “sneaky solo”. I’m stealing that. Peace
Jack White and his sister, the incredible drummer nailed this. I wish I remembered her name because she's a huge part of this. Jack White is a legendary guitarist. I watched a video where Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Brian May interviewed him. Talked about guitar playing.
In case you want to know how this song was made by one guitarist only: Guitar tuning is not regular but open A which allows him to play chords G and A with his index finger only. That is necessary because he uses a bottleneck on his third finger to play slide guitar in other parts. The „bass“ riff is actually a guitar riff using only one string of the guitar so he can play it with his index finger alone going up and down the string. He adds at this part an effect box called octaver so the riff sounds two octaves deeper like a bass. In other parts he repeats the riff on the guitar sliding with the bottleneck on the third finger only and playing to strings at a time, giving it that sharp sound. To make it even sharper, he plays it one octave higher in other parts. The solo is basically the riff slided on one string with some variations and additional tones. Jack White reinvented rock guitar playing by going back to zero and start again.
I'm 68 and I love your videos. It's great fun to watch younger generations discover classic rock. We really did have the best music, I think. Loved your reactions to Journey, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac ,Heart and more. But hearing you say you like surprising things ...I just had to ask you to react to one of my favorite groups that I discovered through watching reaction channels...Pentatonix. They are an acapella group...(mostly). I'd start with Hallelujah. If you like it we can go from there...deep rabbit hole. They are probably like nothing you have ever heard before and its all just their beautiful voices and some beatboxing. Usually.
I believe they're siblings. 🖤 Good to see you, bruv. I've been crazy busy. Still needing you to do more Korn (Twisted Transistor is a must but you've gotta hear the full track with intro.) Rammstein - Sonne and Type O (several) lol
Such a great song! And one of my favourite music videos ever. I think you will enjoy The Black Keys aswell. They have a couple of great songs, but especially Lonely Boy and Little Black Submarines are must listens!
Was lucky enough to see Jack at a small venue when he launched his solo career after the white stripes, saw him again w Loretta Lynn and The Raconteurs, and again just the Raconteurs. Mind blown every time.
Other amazing odd band combinations: Morphine: 2 string slide bass, dual sax welded together, and drums Ben Folds Five: piano, bass, drums Please check both out

This riff is chanted at football matches in your country all the time.
if u can fit the name in the riff it happens at every sports ground
Does he look like he follows football?
We had tickets to see them at the O2 but before the tour Meg became ill and the tour was cancelled and the band broke up.
@besping I believe OP meant "soccer", however the US is the only place to call it soccer.
Next you'l be telling us that he hasn't heard "Son of My Father" by Chicory Tip, let alone "Guantanamera", "Cwm Rhondda", or Verdi's "La donna è mobile" !
Can't wait!!!! Jack White is so talented. What sounds like a bass in this song is actually him on guitar. He is brilliant!!!
The best part about the bass is that it doesn't exist. That's a guitar tuned low. This song is of my absolute favorites. I can't wait to see your reaction to the solo!
It's not tuned low it's a whammy pedal pushed back to make it sound like a bass. 👍
@@amwilliams1502 whoah! That's rad! 🤘
@@amwilliams1502 I've seen them do it live. It doesn't sound near as good as studio. There is only so much you can do when you are covering 3 peoples parts. But it was very good if you give the allowance that he is doing 3 peoples parts (4 if you include vocals).
@@amwilliams1502 You sure that's what he did in the studio? I mean, in the studio he could have just picked up a bass. Something he couldn't do live.
@@amwilliams1502 That's not quite right. It's a Digitech Whammy pedal that is used which is a pitch shifting device that allows up to a two octave shift in intonation through a rocking pedal.

See Tom Morello to understand how it can be used very musically and effectively.
This song is everywhere,commercials, stadiums, sports.
Yes and I can't stand it. I don't like this song at all.
@samihiukkamaki5163. So why are you here listening?
@@GonRogue-85 probably an abusive "love-hate" relationship
@@SamBuddy1surprised ur here listening then
Cruise ships blowing it out on their foghorns
ICKY THUMP from the White Stripes is a must
YES‼️🤟🏻
Goodies?
I second this, exactly what I came here to say. Jack White goes solo not too long after this album, and Icky Thump is a crazy song that showcases his uniqueness and skill on the guitar.
I saw Jack White introduce this song, Icky Thump on Conan O'Brien. Just him, his guitar and a little amp. It was awesome. Look it up
@@damondennis4535 I’m going to have to see it, thanks!
Jack White is a genius. Yes him and Meg were married. She is Meg White and Jack took her surname when they married 😎 Try the Raconteurs too. Another of Jacks bands.
That is his sister.
@@marybreiner5She is definately NOT his sister. They were married from 96 to 2000. Google is a thing, people.
@marybreiner5 Not true. 🙂 They were a married couple before they divorced in March of 2000 👍
No he isn't. I like the WS a lot, but he's only a genius in his own mind.
@@marybreiner5That's not his sister they were married and yes he took her surname
"Ball and Biscuit" will blow your mind...
Indeed, also suggested same. 🍀🍀🍀
Word 💯
That is a great song for sure!
Can’t wait for that one!
He’ll bug out.
For sure
I'd recommend Fell In Love With A Girl. It's upbeat, fast paced and a total banger of a song.
Yes White Stripes, excellent choice! Jack White is amazing! Icky Thump and Blue Orchid are bangers too! Ty Declan ♥️🤘〽️
Blue Orchid and icky thump definitely
Also Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground
Also: Hardest Button to Button
Lol I thought you said Icky Trump 😂
Jack White in my 57 years of music loving is one of the most genuine musical talents ever. His solo career is growing in legend and diversity.

Great choice I cant wait for the reaction. I suggest Dead leaves and dirty ground and Jolene (live under black pool lights ) by them as well🤘💜
One of the great rock songs. Period.
You should listen to Karnivool ... "We are", "themata" or "set fire to the hive"
Fuck yeah!
Jack White is and absolute genius, great song writer and a great guitar player, highly respected in the music world!!!
I love The Hardest Button to Button😉

Glad to hear that you are back. Keep on rocking
There's not enough Jack White in the reactions. One of the greats.
This was a banger that summer in 2003. So many remixes. I remember listening to Pete Tong and other DJs on BBC Radio 1 and this was A-rotation all summer.
Postmodern Jukebox with Haley Reinhart did a cover of this song as well. It's good.
They have done several covers with a different interpretation.
Hello from across the pond. In Lancaster California. I'd dig it if you got into some Rush.
I believe you did one, maybe two reactions? If you started with the first album, I think you might dig the blues vibe.
The first album was done with the original drummer and co-founder of Rush, John Rutsey.
The same year, the first album came out, and they replaced John with Neil Peart.
I, for one, dig it. Geddy Lee wrote a majority of it with Alex Lifeson there helping.
I'm 56, I dig that you are expanding your musical artists and genres. It's good to see your generation listen to older stuff.
Hey, if I like it, I don't care what genres it is. Keep up the great content.
Take care and be well.

They make a hell of a good noise for two people
If you've been to a football game, you have probably heard this melody.
Glad you’re broadening your listening to different bands. “I think I smell a rat is another great by the white stripes
If you want a distinct dark bassline try “archives of pain” off of the holy bible album (would recommend a lyric video cuz it’s got some great lyrics to go with it)
♥️
This song is amazing, it's just a shame that it got so overplayed, to the point where it is inescapable. Every sporting event, every shop, anywhere you go, there is either this version, or people covering it, or turning it into a chant. You can have too much of a good thing.
Jack is so talented. And versatile... He's got songs on the soundtrack of the film "Cold Mountain"... Bluegrass! (It stars Nicole Kidman and Jude Law. And himself!)
Great reaction!! We love doing this song in the band I sing in. Freakin badass riff. Love the bass!!
It is a madter class in "riff stacking".
First, the bass riff, which us actually not a bass but his guitar played thru an octave pedal down 1 octave.
Then. Stack the "rythm" guitar riff on that for most of the song, except the E-A bridge.
In the second 'verse: he stacks a 'lead'guitar riff with a 'Cream' guitar sound (tasty by the way) over the rythm guitar riff for a littke more depth and flavor.
All this over a mesmerizing but oh so simple drum rythm.
Simple, Perfect. Infectious.
Glad you went down the White Stripes Rabbit Hole. Jack White can do more with piece of wood slab and a guitar string nailed down over a glass bottle and a elec pickup than most of today's guitar players.
Try "Icky Thump" next. Oh and some of his more mellow blues songs are a treat as well! Thanks for playing along!
jack white can make his guitar scream and cry, i love it
When he plays this song live it's actually an effect he puts on his guitar to sound like a bass
A good friend, John, who was our drummer, introduced me to the White Stripes when their first album was released. I was immediately hooked. John passed away over a decade ago, but I know he’s still jamming along. Jack White has a very unique style. Loved your reaction and your phrase, “sneaky solo”. I’m stealing that. Peace
Molly I drop in now and again. Love it . P.s .stay safe inUK . Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.
From the first time I ever heard this song, I was obsessed. It was an instant mosh pit for one in my living room.
instant classic!🔥keep having fun!
Jack White and his sister, the incredible drummer nailed this. I wish I remembered her name because she's a huge part of this. Jack White is a legendary guitarist.
I watched a video where Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Brian May interviewed him. Talked about guitar playing.
Also, check out Jack White's side project, "The Raconteurs," and their song " Steady as she goes"
In case you want to know how this song was made by one guitarist only: Guitar tuning is not regular but open A which allows him to play chords G and A with his index finger only. That is necessary because he uses a bottleneck on his third finger to play slide guitar in other parts. The „bass“ riff is actually a guitar riff using only one string of the guitar so he can play it with his index finger alone going up and down the string. He adds at this part an effect box called octaver so the riff sounds two octaves deeper like a bass. In other parts he repeats the riff on the guitar sliding with the bottleneck on the third finger only and playing to strings at a time, giving it that sharp sound. To make it even sharper, he plays it one octave higher in other parts. The solo is basically the riff slided on one string with some variations and additional tones. Jack White reinvented rock guitar playing by going back to zero and start again.
I'm 68 and I love your videos. It's great fun to watch younger generations discover classic rock. We really did have the best music, I think. Loved your reactions to Journey, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac ,Heart and more. But hearing you say you like surprising things ...I just had to ask you to react to one of my favorite groups that I discovered through watching reaction channels...Pentatonix. They are an acapella group...(mostly). I'd start with Hallelujah. If you like it we can go from there...deep rabbit hole. They are probably like nothing you have ever heard before and its all just their beautiful voices and some beatboxing. Usually.
I believe they're siblings. 🖤 Good to see you, bruv. I've been crazy busy.
Still needing you to do more Korn (Twisted Transistor is a must but you've gotta hear the full track with intro.) Rammstein - Sonne and Type O (several) lol
Oh yes we need some Type O Negative!
I saw the White Stripes at Coachella in 2002 or 2003. They were KILLER.
Such a great song! And one of my favourite music videos ever.
I think you will enjoy The Black Keys aswell. They have a couple of great songs, but especially Lonely Boy and Little Black Submarines are must listens!
Was lucky enough to see Jack at a small venue when he launched his solo career after the white stripes, saw him again w Loretta Lynn and The Raconteurs, and again just the Raconteurs. Mind blown every time.
You will never go wrong reacting to anything from these two.
Other amazing odd band combinations:
Morphine: 2 string slide bass, dual sax welded together, and drums
Ben Folds Five: piano, bass, drums
Please check both out
Dang I miss Morphine
Unique and so damn good. Badass.
