Well, that's definately one of the catchier bass lines I've heard in a while...

LoL, I love "prominent bass riffs" being on this despite the low tuning of the guitar. Good deal though, means I can use it to my advantage.
|
||
But you'd get the same effect if they had it labeled "Use of a sub-octave pedal."
|
||
I'd rather have it listed under prominent bass riffs, even if it's not technically true, so that the related music that Pandora's engine brings up more music with a similar sound.
|
||
thats kinda what i figured, but i wasnt sure. thanks people! you saved me from agonizing over the instrumentat i o n of seven nation army for the rest of my life.

The White Stripes is a 2 person band, a guitar player/singe r and a drummer. There is no bass guitar in their songs. The prominent bass riff is from the deep tones of the type of guitar and the pedal he uses.
|
||
your right not a bass riff at all. the its def not the best riff ever. Try Big Brown Beaver, or any other song by Primus.
|
||
thanks for the info fuzzyrosco. I dont play any of those types of instruments, so i definetly wouldnt have guessed that. i learned something new today ;D
|
||
THERE IS NO BASS IN THIS SONG! He uses a sub-octave pedal to make the notes lower. I'm pretty sure The White Stripes never use a bass.
|
||
I loove this song!! I was likea freshman in high school when i heard it for the first time and ever since ive like LOVED it.. i dunno if its the bass sound thats a turn on or maybe how jack white looks so mysterious.. l o l whatever it is, i love it. lol
|
||
first White Stripes song I heard and I was hooked... picked up their entire cd library. Great stuff.
|
||
I'm pretty sure the term grunge was labeled for bands in the '90s such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden - hence the "Seattle sound".
Love this song!!!!!!!! ! ! |
||
Is there such a thing as '70's grunge? I thought grunge was mostly an '90's phenom... correct me if I'm wrong, please. I hate being musically ignorant.
|
||
there is only guitar and bass, jack is using an effects pedal that turns his guitar down an octave which sounds like a bass.
|
||
There's a really awesome version of this song (whether it's a cover or the original, I'm not sure) that is jazzy with a female vocalist. Does anyone know the artist for that? I'm pretty stuck....
|
||
This track doesn't just have guitar and drums on it. Jack White also plays bass on a lot of the album tracks, on this one it is particularly obvious. When they play live it's usually just the two of them.
|
||
for only haveing guitar and drums this is pretty damn sweet. And anyone who dosent like the song plz just dont post, rather then say things like "It sucks!"
|
||
This song is soooo damn catchy. I love this. I'm new to the White Strippes, but I definately want to keep listening...
|
||
My favorite Stripes song. This is the joint that got me checking for these two. Doesn't matter what you use to make a tune, the vibe/energy/ e m o t i o n is the ONLY thing that matters. This song has those things in spades!

Hey rwtfalexis: I had always assumed they were brother and sister since they do look related...bu t to answer your question, they are actually married. What's interesting is that he took her surname (his real last name is Gillis) - but what else would you expect from Jack White?
|
||
Are they brothers and sisters? Cause they sure as hell look like thay are! And they have the same last names
|
||
kgirl I ahte to be the one to tell you this but The White Stripes does not have a bassist.
|
||
Don't argue about the meaning of Vamping- its in the FAQ. RTFF!!
Needless to say this song has a bass line that is primal and sets up a mood of desperation- I think its awesome! |
