The White Stripes is rock and roll distilled to its purest form: drum, guitar and voice.

[@debjorgo]

You didn't notice the bass stopped when the guitar riff came in. He played the bass riff on the guitar. Just Jack and Meg played this live.

[@mattcalifornia7318]

Yep - no overdubs or trickery. Just Jack White. I'm pretty sure he's really into doing everything analog and using old school technology at his own studio.

[@Tampahop]

They may have a version they do live, but in the studio version you can clearly hear both at the same time in various parts of the song.

[@AaronJoseph-t4b]

Yazza,Jack replaced the top string with a Bass string moved the top string one down the fret & so on down the bottom got ommited

Nah. When they played live, it was just the two of them. It was absolute fire.

The White Stripes were an American rock duo formed in Detroit, Michigan, in 1997. The group consisted of Jack White (guitar, keyboards, piano, vocals) and Meg White (drums, percussion, vocals). and the rock balls out.

[@lovman]

This was a husband/wife team, since divorced. The song became popular at sporting events - 1st in European soccer matches then picked up in the US at college football games, then basketball, then professional football, then everwhere. This riff is Jack White's and this is the 1st playing of it.

[@324cmac]

In the beginning, Jack told people she was his sister.

I saw Mo Tucker play kettle drums with Lou Reed out on his New York tour. She lit up the second set of their classics and I had no idea she was still alive so I was stunned to say the least when she walked on stage. Side note: my friend won the tickets on a radio station give away and we were about ten rows back ✌

You should check out a documentary called "It Might Get Loud". It looks at Jimmy Page, The Edge from U2 and Jack White, and their influences, approaches to music and playing etc in separate pieces, then brings them together for a jam session of sorts and talking about it all together. One contrast was the differing approaches between Jack White and the other two, particularly Edge. The piece on White opened wih him building a guitar using a slab of wood as the body, a Coke bottle as the bridge, one thick piece of wire as the string, all held together with nails and powered by a 9 volt battery. Then he played it and said "Who says you need a lot of money to get a guitar?" He's all about stripped down to basics and generally not much between the guitar and the amp but a cord. No gadgets to change the sound. Edge, on the other hand, is all-in on the technology and wants to use it all. Not saying one is better or worse, just sayin'

[@CoDee2U]

Absolutely! Much respect for these masters of guitars

[@heatherstuart1858]

Led Zeppelin is my favorite band, and The White Stripes is second, so I am biased. But while The Edge is talented in his way, he can't hold a candle to Jimmy and Jack. Love this documentary!

[@danmayberry1185]

Jack is a custodian of music. Mad respect.

That is the ORIGINAL of that riff played at EVERY FOOTBALL AND SOCCER game. Jack and Meg, used to be married, split, then carried on together as a band. They let the rumor about them being brother and sister float for a while. (The publicity, although creepy, gave them some mystery and interest.) Jack also plays in the Raconteurs as their riff master.

[@mikefetterman6782]

CHECK OUT THE BLACK KEYS....most of their songs are just the 2 of them and they do that live just like Meg and Jack. Jack is using a lot of tech for that guitar sound. Circa 2000.

It's their riff. This is a two person band. Jack White uses an effect on his guitar to make it sound like a bass.

[@amymeyers8090]

Love Detroit artist! Jack White uses a pedal to lower the guitar pitch to make the bass sound. It’s a two person band, Ranked 6th greatest duo in 2015

[@hog7203]

I was late in the game discovering these guys. I had heard of them, because they were popular, but had no idea what they sounded like. Back around 2014 or so, my boss at the time was a fan, and he had just picked up one of their albums, not the one that featured this song. He took me to lunch that day, because he wanted me to hear some of the cd on the ride to and from the restaurant. The music blew me away and I became an instant fan. Jack White and his solo stuff and his other music collaborations/bands are all full of excellent music.

[@tjmctube]

The rife is theirs. It's become an anthem in live sporting events worldwide.

Starting the year off with bangers!! Thanks fellas!!

[@captainsatellite2112]

That riff is actually played on a vintage semi acoustic guitar (1950's Kay hollow-body) run through a Digitech whammy pedal to bring the pitch down an octave. He used the red and white guitar for the video because it looks cool but the audio was recorded using the Kay. He played the red and white alot but not on this song.

[@lathedauphinot6820]

Jack White’s Third Man Records has re-issued old Tamla Motown, Sun, and other out-of-print records. You can go in there and record a record, or rent a theater to put on a live show recorded straight to acetate. They’ll also take recordings of shows or home recordings and improve the sound.

Two person band. Meg White was excellent at making a simple, but impactful beat. Not everything has to be complicated to be amazing. Give the song Icky Thump a shot for a Led Zepplin type sound out of two people. My favorite is a sweet acoustic song called We're Going to be Friends. I learned that one to play to my kids when they were little.

I've seen them live and yes it's just the two of them. He's kind of known for modding effects and just creating oddball stuff from scratch, that is good at multitasking during live performances, maybe like a slight imitation of Rush in that respect. But he's funny and creative and serious and heavily influenced by all the old music, including Black Sabbath that you mentioned. "The Hardest Button to Button". You've GOT to check it out guys. ❤ An earlier hit for them, and it is so fun on so many levels.

Fire song. Fire reaction! I want to support the recommendations of others in your comments that are saying watch "It Might Get Loud". It is so interesting and watching and listening to the guitar work is crazy. As for this song, I once heard Jack White say that when he was a kid he asked his mom who the people were ringing the bells outside the stores asking for spare change. He says he named this song because he thought he heard her say that they are the "Seven Nation Army" instead of "Salvation Army". Hella funny. I feel like I also heard the he is VERY particular about sound and that for the album version he played drums maybe because if I recall Meg didn't really play the drums initially. He sort of taught her how to play well enough for live work. I could be wrong, but that memory bounces around in my head.

I became a Jack White fan about 8 years ago. He is an amazing artist on an eclectic journey. I had to make a trip to Detroit so I decided to stop by the home he grew up in at 1203 Ferdinand St. just so I could see it. I was standing outside his old house taking photo's and a man opened the door and I was expecting some sort of grief but instead he said you must be a Jack White fan. I said yes I am. He said this place is pretty cool, you want to come in and take a look? I said absolutely. he said his Uncle had bought the house from Jacks Brother and was renovating it and turning it into a neighborhood Ministry. He said don't mind the mess as we walked in. It was your typical 2 story Colonial with an attic and basement though I only checked out the ground floor. There were acoustic tiles on all the ceilings and I think some of the walls also had them as well. The walls of the stairwell going upstairs were also covered with the same tiles. He told me that it was his understanding that Jack had done a fair amount of recording of his early works there. He also told me that the neighbors told him that they called the cops regularly to complain about the volume during rehearsals, jamming, recording , etc. I got some interior photos as well during the visit. After I left I immediately went to Jack's record store called Third Man Records in what's called the "Case Corridor" near Downtown Detroit and bought some collector edition vinyls while I was there. Very cool place. There is also a vinyl record pressing plant there that Jack built. He also has another Third Man Records store in Nashville which I have also visited and bought some limited edition vinyl. If you're ever in Detroit or Nashville make sure to check it out. If you want some suggestions check out "Fell in Love With a Girl" performance on David Letterman. Or "Love Interruption" he recorded as a side project with several female musicians. Or a very unique song he recorded with one of his other bands called the Raconteurs. The song is called "Carolina Drama". Jack calls it a murder ballad. It starts out slow and rocks out midway through. You talk about a hard song, it's very hard lyrically. I won't spoil it for you but it involves a woman with two children, an ex con boyfriend, a Preacher, and a Milkman.

100% original! It's the riff and the song that basically replaced "We Will Rock You!" at a thousand different sports stadiums all over the world. Jack White is a musical genius. They played LIVE as a two-piece also. Watch one of their performances from Conan O'Brien's show or any number of other places. White also formed a great band called The Raconteurs and now tours with his own band which is made up of incredible musicians.
