Amazing! Love the drunken stuporness of it all ... and I'll take Meg with 2, 1 or no eyes!

dressed all in red in the red room is old school WS - like the hotel yorba video.
can't believe they got johnny depp to cameo. haven't seen him in a rock video since tom petty's "Into the Great Wide Open."
also - the sign at the end of the video - the white stripes get political...best video I've seen in a long time.

Whenever I hear a White Stripes song that features Jack's proficient guitar work, I think it's a shame Meg's drumming is so amateurish. Think of the degree to which a great drummer enhances great songs performed by great musicians - Zeppelin, The Who, Radiohead - and think of what a drummer like Bonham, Moon, or Selway could add to The White Stripes.

Excellent video, now I can't wait to get a copy of their CD!! :)

Where is Johnny Depp in the video?? I didn't catch that.

Meg's drumming is powerful and sexy in a way that no man has dared to be since those heros from the 70's. Some who critique are not doing it with their ears. I bet Bonzo and Moon would approve...we know that Beck and Page do...think about it.

That first chord progression sounds like a rip-off of "Five to One" by the Doors.

These two are WAY overrated. This song is not that good, along with all their other crap thats been ripped off from punk bands of the 80's...and whats with the Spanish subtitles?! U.S. of America.

I didn't see Johnny Depp either. But I have noticed that Jack bears a passing resemblence to Johnny Depp at times.

Who cares about Meg's drumming? It works,its raw, it rocks, it wouldn't be the same with a "Neil Pert". Its the essence of the rock.

I didn't see Johnny Depp in it... Oh, wait, was it that part when, for a split second, I saw image of the essence of sexy hottness? Or was I just imagining it?
P.S. Meg's new hair is awesome!!

They are pure rock and roll. They're great.

dudes that complain about the way meg plays are typically jocks with tiny dicks.
