The White Stripes-Catch Hell Blues

The White Stripes perform Catch Hell Blues at Germany's Rock am Ring. June 01, 2007.

[@grungesoundsgood]

this is one of the most evil riffs ever written by a man, its up there with Iron man and Smells like teen spirit. fucking amazing in every sense of the word.

[@bumpin9086]

I'm digging how nice everyone is being to meg in this video, usually everyone's really mean to her

[@el34glo59]

BUMPIN' because they now realize what we've lost. Some people don't see what's there until it's gone.

[@chrissantos5580]

Just people who are bitter because they never got to where she did

[@benlafond753]

Its cause she owns whatever stage shes put on

[@casandrabullock9497]

I know and it's not cool because she's PERFECT for the music. If Neil Peart or Bonzo were drumming for the white stripes, it just would sound weird! All brilliant at what they do

[@ladida1031]

I still would pull her Hair. She is Fantastic......but that is no Reason not to Tease her!

[@lukethedrifter8302]

Man she jams that little jazz kit, I love her style. You can hear her and right away you know who it is. Not crazy technical, just a bad ass style. In my opinion.

[@nekaeljones3086]

Meg's bass drum is strong!! She's not real technical but she's always on time. I dig her!

[@RocknRolla3198]

She is the most valuable drummer in the world actually because of what you just described.^^

[@KAOS-zp2zx]

She's not perfect but she's perfect for the white stripes

[@Idk4ev]

Stop it all of you. I love Meg. White stripes are not what they are without her but come on,... Jack is everything with this band. He tutored her and kept it so simple for her. Part of the plan though that he envisioned.

[@joshuateubanks4302]

There's an interview where Jack says that all he needs is the basic four count. Anything after that is Megs flare. Which is fair, as that e/t else is Jack's flare, right. I love the stripes. They were a perfect t band for their time, and he has built a fantastic legacy outside of that.

[@jmcieslak0]

Jack White + Slide Guitar = Thank you God

[@foemasher]

Take out the thank you

[@calebjohnson4954]

The person running the titles on the screen can't figure out what song it is lol "It's Ball And Biscuit, wait, shit, it's 300 mph torrential outpost blues, wait, shit...."

[@jennifermartin6296]

Caleb Johnson it’s outpour not outpost, but yeah

[@lior_shiboli]

i belive they dont coordinate the order of the songs or even what songs before do thats probably why

[@chuckdavis5647]

Yeah, everyone knows this is 300 Mile per hour Catch & Biscuit Blues

[@kunigundeii9106]

@@chuckdavis5647 yes that's my favorite.

[@dexterkaufmann9479]

easily their most underrated song. jack on slide guitar is a different kind of beast

[@counternub40]

How on earth is he getting that sound out of his guitar at the start. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@dumb4ever4076]

Jack's constant up-picking is so satisfying to watch for some reason. Does anyone else feel the same?

[@malazanemp42]

ages need them quick so i don't kill minors

[@Nalinalinali]

yea i dont think he was ever told you can strum down XD

[@SamSquanch66]

You know she's gotta miss this... even just a little. One day they'll be back. Give us just one more tour.

[@witch798]

this is about as old time rock n roll as modern gets

[@swapsplat]

yes, her drumming is exactly what made the White Stripes tick. Jack's PHENOMINAL guitar work was the star of the show, all you need is a simple drum line.

[@kaminskasmitchell]

I love how they improv the living shit out of every song when they play live. It's like they're doing a cover of themselves.

[@nathangolliher2776]

Personally I love Megs drumming! she plays drums like Jack plays guitar... like a beast!

[@Tamlin73]

Im thinking the same, Meg is like Jack...just with drums, put the worlds best drummer up there with Jack...and its had been no White Stripes.

[@eta2670]

I'm sorry, but am I the only one to just see, how ridiculously excellent jack is at creating amazing songs!?!?

[@erwinbob1]

meg is such a fun drummer to watch

[@RSACardCollector2]

this guy is one of the best guitar players ever!!!!!!

[@RUGGEDBREED]

Meg the multi tasking drummer of all time, she drums and she bounces

[@chainslap]

This song keeps drawing me back to it. It has a spell on me.

[@haggidubious]

These two make more racket per square inch than anyone, it's amazing. And the drums are just amazing.

[@paulner3]

these guys are one of the few mainstream artists today who still know how to rock out!

[@_tchorzyk]

I hope Meg has a great life, I'll always adore her 🖤

[@rbareiro]

it's unbelievable that only two people can do together

[@TheRabidGlow]

Fucken love the shit out of this song! It's awesome live.

[@mcyeet4206]

Oh wow I didnt think it would still sound that good live

[@chicagocindymae3531]

Damn me for never seeing the White Stripes.

[@heatherroberson1648]

Perfectly in tune together.

[@mileshammond2592]

that snare sounds explosive

[@Imasoulinseoul]

Mad respect for this duo making the rich sound.

[@Nextrol]

This song is without a doubt some of his best slide playing.. some of his best guitar period. I honestly think this is the best song on Icky Thump.

[@norsketilbakeblikk3717]

Anyone see that between 3:00 and 3:15 jack gave meg two signs on when to play and when to not?

[@JACKETMANE]

Badass af

[@matthewbradfor6]

When I saw them live, that was the biggest thing I noticed, the interplay and communication between them for each song. I got the feeling they never played a song the same way twice.

[@Idk4ev]

Saw them three times in the bay area.

[@Idk4ev]

Greek theatre twice and the warfield in SF Saw the same interaction with the two of them. But it was obvious who was in control. But he always did it with true respect.

[@TheRadi0clash]

Agreed, just saw Jack at Red Rocks, he played about 6-7 White Stripes songs and they were amazing, but those songs were just missing something? That something is Meg, she is a little beast and very under appreciated. The boom she produces is spectacular in every way, IMO

[@drooski]

This song is the best creation this year. Glad to know we still have artists out there.

[@shoto42]

There is just something about this song that is just so raw, like that beginning riff is just so badass, along with the slow and harshness of the drums, I really do prefer this version over the album version. Guess it is true when people say that songs are almost always better live and this song is no expectation, almost like it was made to be played live

[@182TheTank]

I listened to this song for an hour straight. It's addicting and absolutely brilliant. You go Jack!

[@Killbuck.Southern.Railroad]

Can't stop listening to this it's so awesome

[@callbigg]

Love this song. The rhythm is awesome.

[@tkalactomo]

Guitar sounds just awesome in this song, cant get enough of it!

[@doug.r.s]

Jack "Slide" White ❤

[@neilcurwen3850]

That intro riff is so dirt nasty awesome

[@headpump]

This is the good sh!t! Thankyou!

[@ALLnightSTYLE]

can't wait for next White Stripes album. They make me feel good.

[@CandyFactoryyy]

2:37 soo rad

[@mongoboy6307]

ngl this song deserves more credit i love this.❤

[@alovemarvel]

this is gosh damn amazing

[@jakewakelin5751]

Talent sometimes lies in simplicity.

[@TheRollingCoinStore]

the main slide riff is pure genius. it belongs in a different song. candy to the ears.

[@Rockin88Keyz]

Wish these guys were still playing songs together. One of my fave songs.

[@_rchives_rchived]

this song is just shredding the guitar into a pile of blisters, livid, deadly, venemous fuckin playing here

[@jetsamperes5762]

The intro to this song is how they would introduce Death Letter live - I think he wrote this song to capture that on a studio album. Both are just incredible.

[@mitchamaya]

this song fucking. ROCKS

[@lucas79black]

one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@BrentwoodBoy53]

This is great stuff, Jack & Meg had a freakin' groove goin' on here. Tasty guitar work…………..

[@blomfield1]

This is close to the best song they've done in my opinion

[@capricioso]

amazing

[@ChubbySolution2]

That drumming! Who says meg is a horrible drummer? It compliments Jacks talent perfectly. Don't believe me, check out the same exact song of Jacks recent live performances with his crew of 7+ people. Just not the same now

[@rowanmchugh]

ChubbySolution2 his new stuff isn't necessarily bad, just a different style

[@velse9869]

Rowan McHugh but essentially bad

[@eta2670]

ChubbySolution2 just because Megs playing compliments the song, does not mean that she is a good drummer. She isn't.

[@adrianecheverria6559]

also he messed up his ring finger (crashing a porsche with rene zelwegger,) and he makes chords with the use of his pinky, which really affects his playing its noticeable if you look for it and powerchords arent fully made.

[@Domo0116]

Ahhhh I just love this song!!

[@thomaskunkel1687]

my fav ...and I miss them so...

[@headpump]

Jack and Meg ❤🥰🥰

[@valery7363]

Underrated song

[@arcadianmorning]

I literally get goosebumps watching the first 30 seconds of this video. I wish I had been there. Seriously epic.

[@pipedownna]

...The drums ARE an instrument and I especially love when they're played that way (since so many nowadays do just play them like a f'n metronome) but sometimes situations - like this - call for a little something else. Meg was perfect with Jack.

[@autumnwind1216]

Prob my fave White Stripes track

[@isharghura]

i love this live version more than the studio!

[@casandrabullock9497]

Saw Jack White at a small venue on the great Salt Lake in 2018. When he busted out this guitar and slide-i was happy. Catch hell blues was one of 6 encores that night. Freaking rad.

[@JanneJQ]

Love that song..... Amazing!!! Jack White: My GUITAR HERO!

[@timpatten9718]

White stripes brilliant unsterilised Art. I wish it didn’t end.

[@turbomonkey253]

Goose bumps alll over hearing this. 1 wish to hear this live front and center, then i could die happy

[@bigtravis1313]

fantastic

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Criminally underrated song, top 8 fo sho

[@42mrwright]

The bestest!

[@SquidPartyGames]

Mine heard a song from blunderbuss on the Tv and went out and bought me the album for when I came and stayed the week, I have to say I nearly wept with happiness.

[@AndyAndreev]

ABSOLUTELY TRUE

[@Rykkkrykkk]

man, totally the same here. that riff just gives me a heartattack.

[@ninarenee322]

this song gives me goosebumps...

[@Mikeydafadedone]

my favorite version of this song, like it more than the album version

[@larz015]

I love This Song!! White Stripes Live Are Amazing!!

[@metallijames]

i believe at the beginning he's only using the overdrive from his Fender Twin, then at 1:00 he kicks on his Maxon Micro-amp. during the solos he turns on his Big Muff too, i think. it sounds like it to me, i could be wrong.

[@hebronsawyers]

I love the first 1.30 min of this video. White Stripes Rock!

[@marcsier4577]

super cette music

[@the_crazzed_bacon_in_his_n4259]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! love it so much

[@HendraSadewa]

You're my bro yes you're ! Meg is whitestripes Lo-Fi Soul, nobody can have it, except herself !

[@sugarflamephotograph]

THEY ARE PERFECTION!

[@EastSundayMorning]

Well, if they catch me around you're playin' 'rock the boat' I'm gonna catch hell And if you're throwin your voice in bed singin' a note I'm gonna catch hell If you're gettin' tricky lyin to yourself You're gonna catch hell And if you're testin' God Lyin' to his face You're gonna catch hell

[@idaklymr]

white stripes always blow me away

[@bollweevil1976]

Raw as hell and I love it

[@BoBotzi]

Love

[@timthemagicbus666]

ill say this to everyone, music only comes from the soul, whatever you play, you always put a little bit of yourself into it.

[@cheiachris]

its catch hell blues clearly! awesome lifeperformance really putted me in trance listen to it nice to see that they enjoy theire own music so much that they really fell in the flow of the rhythm

[@fxlix.vin_9875]

No one in the *entire universe* is better than Jack and no one is better than drumming than Meg

[@deadlegs187]

Remember he would jam this between songs years before it was released. Didn't have lyrics then. But the crowd was all over eachother

[@UNISS85]

[@davidschick26]

[@carmiekemerer6960]

[@SynthApprentice]

[@mrmooseluke]

This is one of my favorite guitar centered songs, anybody got any recommendations on some other stuff like this?

[@cherokeefan101]

screw google plus yeah type in blues and search there are all kinds. killing floor etc...

[@dehrichschmidt-chya231]

screw google plus Another one of Jack's songs off his new album is High Ball Stepper. And I just love it. It's instrumental, and great

[@otterbot5997]

screw google plus Gary Clark Jr. Good stuff.

[@jakeschleifer1303]

In my time of dying - led Zeppelin
