Jack White plays his vintage Army/Model

Interesting he got so emotional singing that tune. It's not like it's a new one. He's probably sang it a thousand times.

Picked up this album a couple days ago and it is fantastic.

For me anything Jack touches turns to gold.

 

Thanks for posting this Juan. I must have missed that Fallon. Glad I got to see that clip.

Yeah, I don't know why he'd be so emotional playing that song. I assumed it was just for show. He did seem a little bit off-key and unsure of it all, so maybe it was genuine emotion. Maybe he's having relationship issues. The first song went off without anything untoward.

 

Sal, White Stripes and Green Day are just Tom Petty and CCR with a little more punk thrown in! I would not want to sing like Jack White, though. But then again, I would not want to sing like Neil Young either. Seems like with Tom Petty, for instance, there is a bit more transparency, or maybe that comes with age. I don't dig all the showy stuff in music these days. But maybe Tom was showy too 30 years ago or whenever. I ain't saying "shut up and play!" by any means--I love to hear what's going on behind the songs. I'm just not into pyrotechnics and exaggerated gestures.

 

I will forgive it when it's Jack White though.

Certainly is a strange feller, though.

 

There's also a fun video of he, Jimmy Page and The Edge talking shop, playing guitar together, and teaching their songs to one another.

 

There's a whole movie of the three, "It Might Get Loud": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1229360/?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

I remember a columnist in American Songwriter taking them to task because in one scene of the movie, they're all playing together and none of the three plays the root note when they form a Bm chord.

Wow! Playing with a microphone in this day and age. Jack is my kind of guy for many reasons. Didn't know this album existed, but I will definitely be getting it ASAP.

 

No pick up captures sound as well as a microphone- just listen to the sound the milk carton kids get with one or two ear trumpet mics.

Yep, I hate pickups personally. Just my opinion, but I think it's weird the way we stick whatever undersaddle or bridgeplate piezo on there and convince ourselves it sounds like our guitar when it sounds nothing like it. I like the Lyric and Anthem and was pretty excited about them, but I would still take any old mic over them if given half a chance. For the Anthem, I don't like how the bass register is handled by the undersaddle piezo, and for the Lyric, it just doesn't have the body of an external mic. The Lyric deliberately ignores everything but the top as much as it can, so while it's a lot better, you're still missing so much. It is never "Your guitar, only louder." I suppose that's true even with a mic, but I like how even a sloppy, cheap mic sounds compared.
