SO CREATIVE! 🎵 The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit REACTION

[@spaulagain]

White Stripes/Jack White and The Black Keys brought back some of the best sounds in rock history and made it modern. Can jam to both of them all day. Also amazing to see them live!

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

Yeah man, White Stripes and The Black Keys are two of the best acts to come out of the last 20 years for sure.

[@chrissantos5580]

Black keys suck

[@hornyconvict]

[@uzi978]

"Purifying ourselves through relations" is perfect and exactly what I think Jack was talking about. :)

[@alrivers2297]

Love how the White Stripes brought back the sounds of some classic rock bands. Such as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Rush, etc.

[@A2Z83]

White Stripes are a mix of blues and garage rock. There was a big revival of garage rock and post-punk when they broke into the mainstream. Its easy to tell their influences since theyve done a lot of covers. Captain Beefheart was an influence of theirs. They released a whole ep of covers of him. Many also compare them to blues punk band The Gun Club.

[@michaelasay8587]

Garage rock? The rock is in da house!(

[@TLAS]

Not buying the “garage rock” classification.

[@scottfrench4139]

The Gun Club are fantastic. Would love to see these guys do "Ghost on the Highway" or "Jack on Fire."

[@DavidAntrobus]

@@scottfrench4139 Agreed. I loved the Gun Club. "Mother of Earth" would be good too. Oh, and "Moonlight Motel" and "Sex Beat."

This is my ‘head change’ song. Anytime I’m down, in a funk, cranky, whatever - this one straightens me right tf out. Every time. 🔥 Edit: and there did seem to be something with the audio. Those gaps/skips aren’t supposed to be there.

[@stevecallais1713]

that guitar omg absolutely glorious.

[@Gordy63]

Wow - Lex totally nailed the White Stripe feel - couldn’t have said it any better. And Brad, you’re right, they are nasty in every good way possible!

[@THEDEEPDIVE]

Detroit guy here. Very proud of The White Stripes coming from my part of the world. This is one of their best.

[@paulborresch6116]

You've both grown so much in only a year's time! Having seen a large percentage of your videos, this is the type of song that when I see you're going to watch I get excited.

[@bryandeschenes6153]

Finally. Jack got multiple projects. The White Stripes The Raconteurs The Dead Weather (he drums and sings) Solo stuff (two upcoming albums, first is a heavier rock album, drops April 8th) Have fun!

[@Zundfolge]

You guys should watch the documentary film "It Might Get Loud" ... basically it covers Jack White, The Edge from U2 and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin and includes a group discussion where the three of them sit around and talk music.

[@laurettelaliberte8864]

I came to the comments just to see if anyone would bring this up. You can definitely hear the Zeppelin influence on this one.

[@gc5054]

This movie/documentary is amazing! I've watched it 20+ times and it gets better every time! Cheers! 🍻🤘🙌

[@davidlee4903]

An excellent recommendation.

[@tomg4260]

I've been waiting so long for you guys to do this one! More Jack White and the White Stripes please, so much cool stuff and it doesn't all sound the same. Jack White is an amazing musical talent, he is a legend of our time. Thank you guys, love your channels, subscribed to them all!

[@smittybenzo4693]

In this episode of Brad & Lex, the Couch couple meets Detroit duo for a bluesy Rock infused evening featuring Brad's signature "side to side sway", equipped with a "poop shoe" moment and a few good "bops" if you can handle the truth. Lex releases her "single handed guitar harp clinchy fisted bobble bop" before Brad announces his progression in tolerance.

[@Seanriver316]

Good tune, killer guitar work by Jack White. This is one of those songs that grows on you.

[@joedonlewis9820]

Jack White is a true artist. He's all over the place creativity. His Third Man Studios in Nashville is a place to visit. You should see his collaboration with the queen of country music Loretta Lynn.

[@scottmacdonald1826]

This is straight forward, no frills 12 bar blues. Jack and Meg are the secret sauce. People like to give Meg crap about her simplistic style (and it is), but it serves the song and at the end of the day, that's all that matters.

[@zachreilly247]

And her drumming just sounds sick. No need to even justify it with words.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

I’ve honestly never understood the criticism of her drumming. In the context of their music, it’s so raw it’s perfect with what Jack’s doing on guitar and vocals.

[@keimahane]

@@corneliuscrewe677 I have always thought the same. What she does is perfect for what they produced, I have always loved the simple but hard hitting style of her drumming.

[@coffee8814]

@@keimahane well thats because all the music is based around her inexperience, its a testament to mostly jack but its still amazing.

[@vincentcascino]

She hits hard, and she keeps the beat. No fills, or frills neaded.

[@evanerys]

If you want to hear Jack White doing something completely different, next time you're in the mood for a long story song, try "Carolina Drama" by the Raconteurs. (Same guitarist/vocalist)

[@irishcreamsicle]

This this this!!!!!!!

[@shaneclark7500]

Absolutely!

[@mistermet214]

Came here to say this. Please and thank you.

Yes Carolina Drama! Teaser - "The white milk dripped down with the blood"

[@JustenStoodley]

Yes.

[@dgs5809]

Jack is a guitar god. He has his own effect pedal that has a plasma tube in it, it's amazing and super expensive and I'll never have one haha.

[@thabomatebane9153]

One of all time favourites. You should definitely check out the live version. That is when you truly get the taste. Which live version? You decide.

[@reubentomczyk193]

I wish they would watch live versions or the actual video and Brad can read along the lyrics he prints out

years ago the Stripes did a tour of the wee villages of the Yukon territory, at a huge loss. all to bring music to people usually ignored

White Stripes is cool. They mix up blues, garage rock and punk pretty often. 🎸 Reminds me of The Black Keys, Raconteurs, TV on the Radio and others.

[@courtneyblue15]

The Raconteurs is another one of Jack White’s bands, so that’s probably why it reminds you of them, haha.

[@jeffreekoch9298]

@@courtneyblue15 Ah! True. 😁

[@benshafer5198]

Jack Whites solos the best of the 21st century IMO. Glad you made the mistake and played this one, Brad! I vote for a blues rock stream✌ Those weird 'interruption' things were definitely glitches in the video and not part of the song

[@Krustenkaese92]

I know The White Stripes get a lot of love for being catchy and fun, but I think they don't get enough love for being catchy and fun, DESPITE being so experimental and weird. Great band!

[@williamschrom1584]

I appreciate listening to the 2 of you. You guys are good together

[@BertJamesMcKinney]

Jack White likes to put obstacles in his way. Like playing with a flawed instrument, perhaps a dime store guitar with two strings missing. This forces him to artistically work around the obstacles. He enjoys struggling with his instrument

[@brianmiller6055]

It was learning that a few years back that finally made me truly appreciate his playing. It reminds of The Stones when Keith, Bill and Charlie had the wobbly pocket groove going. It was always on the verge of falling apart yet never did.

[@BertJamesMcKinney]

@@brianmiller6055 Or watching Pete Townsend trying to control the sound system at Woodstock!

[@brianmiller6055]

[@brannonjenkins9093]

Favorite white strips song. Killers guitarist solo

[@gardnerdan17]

That screech is Jack White's guitar. He uses a lot of distortion. It is supposed to sound that way. You need to see him play live.

[@Kaddywompous]

But not the glitches. They picked a fucked up video.

[@lightofday.dayofdarkness]

Whammy pedal is a bigger contributor to the perception of "screech"

[@waynethera2712]

There is clean smooth blues, jazzy blues, rock n’ blues. This was filthy dirty blues and Jack White is the master. Black Keys have some too as does Reignwolf.

[@zachreilly247]

Yes, the video you watched was a little glitchy. It wasn’t the song. But great video! Been waiting for this one! The White Stripes do have (at least) one song that has intentional “glitches” that really throw you off when you first listen. It’s called “The Nurse.” One of their weirdest and most experimental songs. I grew to love it.

[@ness_mini]

Yes, you guys picked a video that has several glitches. I counted at least 6.

[@danielrodriguez3653]

lol brad trying to listen to the song and lex just moving around obnoxiously lol hilarious

[@YoStabbaStabba]

So glad y'all listened to this. Great song, great band, great reaction

[@timibershoff494]

I love so much about this song. From the playful staccato guitar plucks to the hard blues riffs to the crazy solos to the swagger in the lyrics, but one of the coolest parts is where the song itself takes its time and doesn't get rushed, reflecting the chorus's lyrics. "Let's have a ball and a biscuit, sugar, and take our sweet little time about it."

[@JRcomments]

From the Basement recordings - gotta listen to the first two tracks of the session Blue Orchid and Party of Special Things to Do. They rock and the chemistry between Meg and Jack is great.

[@Qrisqornellfan]

My favorite White Stripes song! He is playing with a lot of feedback but you are hearing an edited chopping sound that is not suppose to be there. It's like a record skipping...

[@stephaniegeer1691]

True.👍thank you for saying something, I was about to.🙂

[@SearlesHernandez]

"My Doorbell" 🤙 and watch Ball and Biscuit LIVE sometime. You'll get the full Jack White experience.

[@alabamaguns3684]

That is one of my favorite riffs of all time. Everytime I pick up an electric guitar I instantly play that riff.

Love The White Stripes, my six year old daughter loves Conquest. We are gonna be friends is a great one also. 👍🏾

[@markclaypool5414]

Carolina Drama! The Raconteurs - another Jack White project. You will absolutely freak...amazing!

[@keimahane]

I have to say my favorite part of this channel is that Brad and Lex actually sit there and try to work out the genre and meaning of what they are listening to. You guys are different from all the rest, in a good way :)

[@timjenkins4065]

Every damn album by these guys was ABSOLUTE FIRE,

[@bminturn]

RE: playing the "wrong" song - Happy accidents make life better. Which is actually appropriate considering how many "happy accidents" Jack White has while he is playing. He does a great job of just rolling with it, but he pisses off a lot of "guitar God" purists lol.

[@MyRoom_is_old]

Seven Nation Army is a banger.

[@lukec2579]

Lucky enough to have seen them live a few times. It's another level, those big hands going crazy. You gotta try Do, one of my favorites. Or 300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues.

[@MickeyValenz]

White Stripes is a great band. Jack White has some great side bands and solo material. He also did an awesome Bond song with Alecia Keys that I love.

[@NandR]

I love this song, one of their best. In the same vein as this one is "300mph Torrential Outpour Blues". That one may be my favorite and even better live.

[@knightngail1]

@Brad and Lex, Jack White has a band called The Raconteurs, also. If, no one's told you that yet. You should check that band out, too. ☺️💞

[@NotBenCoultry]

Nasty is the perfect word, that guitar tone is straight up grime.

Every Jack White project is good. Dead Weather is one of my favorite. The singer Alison Mosshart (of The Kills and Discount) is soooo good.

I have no idea what the lyrics are about but the music is about fucking. Also this is a straight up 12 bar blues song.

[@chris5240]

Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground is also cool by them. I'd call them Hard Blues.

Yeah,man , I remember being at work,thinking about what kind of music I would write , if I could actually write music! I was thinking to myself...something like Stevie ray Vaughn , but more aggressive....Anyway , I happened to stop in a local pawn shop , and they had Ball and biscuit playing. It was like a lightning bolt! I thought, THATS IT! THATS WHAT WAS IN MY HEAD!! Needless to say ,I made them take the cd out and sell it to me! Great band🤩

[@MrWhoevr]

The White Stripes was a married couple. Guitar and drums. The song is about recording an album. The ball is a ball microphone. The biscuits are cookies. They were recoding in Great Britain and they were going to talk to the recording engineer how to do it over tea and cookies. Cookies are called biscuits there. Next song try Cream - I feel Free. It’s a good song.

That's got that Mississippi stomp blues sound. The blues has more styles/sounds than lots of folks realize. If you follow the blues from the Delta up the Mississippi, through Memphis too Chicago, you can hear the difference in style. And other areas have other flavors. An example would be the Piedmont blues from N.C. and adjoining states. Check out the cover of "Tramp" from ZZ Top or Buddy Guy for some more of that stomp blues sound.

[@shaun374]

Absolutely love the White Stripes and this is one of my fav tracks. NO ONE reacts to it. Thank you! Death Letter should be next. BTW - the part where you were confused was a skip in this audio. I've never heard it before. Bad video is all. These are not part of the song.
