@@richie2dicks468 I disagree. If you’re trying to say that it’s one kit and they photographed it multiple times, then there’s a slight chance, but then you’re dealing with factors like light. What’s far more likely is they rented the equipment for the day, which, while still costly, is far less expensive than buying it outright

White stripes songs have incredibly simple drum sections probably because it's all she could do. If she was better than more complicated drumming would come naturally. But that doesn't necessarily make the music any worse.

[@thegrasswhistle5238]

Funny thing is that they divorced in 2000, years before this song was made. Strangely despite the divorce they didn’t have any conflict with eachother and continue making music together for years, and when they retired it was just because they felt that they didn’t need to make any more music. Also, early on they repeatedly insisted they were siblings and kept their marriage a secret. They apparently did this because they didn’t want people poking into their personal life and their (former) relationship. The whole situation was extremely abnormal.

oh yea dont forget some amplifier

[@soxcelts640]

This Video idea required that Gondry track down 32 identical Ludwig drum kits, as well as 32 amplifiers and 16 microphone stands. The crew would erect all the kits at once and Meg White would scoot from set to set as Jack walked in front of a new set of amplifiers for each shot. Each time the pair moved forward, the last set of instruments in line would be peeled off and brought to the front. The amps were rented, but the drum kits had to be purchased. (The band donated them to a music school after the shoot, fearing they’d end up on eBay if they got back into circulation.) The laborious process made for three 16-hour days of shooting, all of which had to be completed during daylight hours, per Gondry’s specifications. “We didn’t hire any lights, so we had to do it all with natural light. I had it very carefully planned out, though I realized Jack was doing different expressions for each take and I didn’t correct him. I initially told him to watch it, but I realized the result would be very electric because each frame would jump around with different expressions.” In the finished video, White’s facial contortions heighten the feel of a stop-motion nature documentary, even though the film was shot continuously. Gondry said the stop-motion effect was created in the editing room after the fact.

Was anyone else paying attention to the lyrics and how random yet clever they are? It's like the Beatles song "come together" it doesn't make any sense but yet it sounds so awesome and has perfect rhythm and rhyming to the lyrics. Jack white was an underrated songwriter who definitely was a musical genius ! Especially in their song Icky Thump.

[@flamesofhellstudio]

Lauren Potts actually come together makes a lot of sense if you know the Beatle's history. The first verse is taking about Ringo. the second, is about George. the line come together is what the yogi told them when they went to India. etc etc. the song is about the Beatle's themselves and their history.

[@chocomomocervantes4418]

[@BWBDCan]

I knew of the song before that. Because of lockdown (mines been 10 months) I've killed Netflix of everything I have any interest of watching. So moved over to Disney+ which had been used to watch the mandalorian...... Now it's used for the Simpsons 90's Xmen and Spiderman cartoons. And the few marvel movies I don't own.

[@dmda565]

[@Mae-vc9jv]

Somehow in all these years I never realized the story of this song I feel really stupid for not picking it up but it always just seed like nonsense to me. The story if of a young child who kills his baby brother and they buried him in the back yard. "He started crying, it didn't last long, I stopped it, I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it" he stopped the baby from crying by killing it. The first time they mention "the hardest button to button" he says "you're just the hardest little button to button" the newborn baby was the hardest buttons to button like on a shirt the one little thing that gets in a way. That gives a whole new meaning to the backyard having "a box with something in it, the hardest button to button" I dunno if this was obvious to everyone else and I'm just stupid but this somehow just hit me

@@adkinneyam So that they don't have any meaning anymore.

[@LFFebro]

[@phaedraremington6247]

@@lecturesalternatives8421 They certainly do. People can interpret them how they want but if the artist says what it means, then that's the real meaning of it.

[@dubudubudan]

i don't think the older kid kills the baby, i think the older kid just scares the baby by putting pins in its doll because the kid resents the baby for taking all the attention. and i think the phrase 'you're the hardest button to button' is what family members say to him for being disobedient. my interpretation is that its about a neglectful family rather than a murderous kid but idk, thats just my perspective 🤷‍♂️

I remember seeing this video for the first time when I was 10 in 2003. It was the coolest video I had ever seen and I was instantly intrigued by Jack.

Jack White forever!

[@ashleydixon4613]

Totally agree! (Although I’m quite a bit older than you: looks like you were born the year I graduated from high school/started college, in 1993.) And I just loved him in Cold Mountain as well. Perfect casting for the part, IMO. And he didn’t even screw up the accent, despite being from Detroit. But I could never see how he and Renee Zellweger ended up together IRL. They made a good onscreen couple, but otherwise...🤷🏻‍♀️
