they make such a beautiful duo, you can tell there is a lot of love between them.

[@Marlowe21]

i love how Jack starts the song and then Meg smiles with a look of approval

ShayC, Whoever you are? My guess is you live in Detroit? All my friends and people & I appreciate you posting this super cool early White Stripes footage. You can see & feel they are seconds away from exploding into the world. I can see & hear the entire city of Detroit had their backs for lift off and that's beautiful.

I honestly don't think the White Stripes could have scripted a better story. Started out with an earnest DIY aesthetic based on bringing music back to it's primordial roots. Then, this talent is recognized for what it is and the band shoots into the stratosphere of the pop music world. Soon, the band becomes legendary for their creativity while playing live. Oddly, the meteoric rise just continues and the band gains credibility and respect. Then, they end it juuuust before it got stale. Genius.

[@42mrwright]

One of their best songs

[@vandelno]

[@weeduggy]

Best song of their first album: anyone agree?

[@Maharani1991]

Really hard to choose but I probably agree.

[@DeStijl333]

Brilliant. One of my favourite songs by them.

[@PhoenixRising235]

I dig the lyric change in the last verse. It's like the song has two different places it can leave you. Also, jack rocks.

[@IsleMarketing]

[@42mrwright]

They bring that flag in the background to a lot of shows

[@Mister.Unknown]

@lovemusicmzipse Cretswood Astral (I don't know if that's the correct way to write it), very old, rare and hard to find guitar, Jack White's style

[@lovemusicmzipse]

what kind of guitar is he playing

[@christopherad19]

@saybyebye22 @lovemusicmzipse its a harmony rocket

[@m4l4d13]

conquer? heh... and on the 'Icky Thump' there's a 'Conquest'!! lol

[@happycline]

i looked at your page and your probably just trolling, but I'm gonna feed the troll anyways. how often do you yourself drum?

[@apseudonym]

She's not meant to do as much as Jack, that's the point. There's a huge contrast between how they play their instruments, eg. simple drums vs complicated riffs, just like the contrast of red white and black. It's all premeditated and planned out that way.

[@happycline]

sorry about that. oh wait, should I have apologized? ;-) jks jks :P

[@AnthonySauceda]

I would rather listen to Meg play drums than hear Ashley Simpson sing or any other horrible musician. trolls are dumb, fake ones are sad and dumb, have some balls troll. Don't be a hater because you aren't getting paid to drum badly, and have become famous for it. i'm sure she's sitting somewhere enjoying herself and not practicing the drums.

[@42mrwright]

The Jesus statue is next to Jack and he says hell lol
