YouTube. What a genius invention. Any person in the world can just put up a video on the internet, and people can watch it and comment on it.

Well, The White Stripes have a ton of videos on YouTube, so I thought it would be great to make one big Stripespedia project page to store all these great videos in so you guys can watch them. --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Videos

Interviews

• Jack and Meg on Charlie Rose

Television Appearances/Promos/Commercials

• "Hardest Button to Button" on Rove Live

Jack has some pretty awesome guitar playing in this one. They're both wearing matching outfits - black shirt, red pants (Well, for Jack it's half red, half black pants). I think Jack is inserting drum skills into Meg's brain at the beginning of the video. Or maybe Jack and Meg just like to screw around backstage, I mean, every band gets bored every once and a while... --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• "Screwdriver" & "Your Southern Can Is Mine" on some TV show...

Oh my god...I miss these times. Meg's pigtails, Jack wearing all red - just an extraordinary performance. What's weird - they were promoting their album White Blood Cells, but the two songs they performed on this weren't from WBC at all. By the way, I have no idea what TV show this is, so if you know the name of it, leave me a message on my talk page with the name of the show. Thanks! --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• French & Saunders' Stripes Parody

The ol' French and Saunders comedy team parody the Stripes. Fat Meg - not a sight to see in real life, but hilarious on here!! --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Fell In Love With a Girl on Letterman

The duo performs Fell In Love With a Girl and Little Room on David Letterman in time for the release of White Blood Cells. Great performance - David looked like he liked it. --Shaun the Ripper 07:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Fell In Love With A Girl on Top Of The Pops

Ahh..An awesome performance by the Stripes on Top Of The Pops. Sounds like the audience loved it - and I loved it. --Shaun the Ripper 07:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• The Raconteurs Rock Conan O' Brien

Truly extraordinary. The guitars sounded incredible, the bass was booming, Patrick was awesome, and Dean was hiding over there in the corner. Jack was like a metal rocker or something, shaking his head around in the chorus, screaming out lyrics - just fantastic. And I must say, great transition into Hands! I noticed, like, almost everybody sang except for Patrick. Can you not sing, Patrick? Hmm? Okay, well, I respect that - You can just keep on rocking and banging those drums which you are very talented at doing... --Shaun the Ripper 07:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Seven Nation Army on Conan

Extraordinary. Jack just gets more crazy with his guitar solos every day, doesn't he? And Meg was awesome as well, keeping up with Jack's maniac guitar solos and bashing those cymbals and trying not to pay any attention to the big, scary black bodyguard behind you. Good job, guys. By the way, big black bodyguard, Conan thought Meg was great! Conan wanted to shake her hand, but you stopped him, you evil man. Maybe you'd be better off as a crossing guard. --Shaun the Ripper 07:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Hotel Yorba on Jools Holland

Ahh....great..how funny, Jools introduces them as a "brother and sister" team...HA! --Shaun the Ripper 07:54, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Movies/Short Sketches

• Pre-Tour Video I with Arthur

Ah..pure comedy at its best. Dan Miller from Blanche does a great job playing Arthur. You know what else is funny - some people actually think this is serious, so they're all like "kill that manager" and "this manager needs to die...the stripes can do what they want". --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Pre-Tour Video II with Arthur

Yay!..a sequel!! --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Pre-Tour Video III with Arthur

Yay!!..another sequel!! --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Under Blackpool Lights

Music Videos

• Seven Nation Army

Will this song ever be forgotten? No. This is the song the Stripes are probably remembered by the most. Usually, a new Stripes fan will credit this song as the song that made him/her a Candy Cane Child. This song is the biggest Stripes hit yet - even the Italians have started singing it. --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• The Hardest Button to Button

This song is the greatest. So catchy and fantastic, with an amazing video created from the king of music videos, genius Michel Gondry. Meg must've been exhausted, having to run around, sit in the seat, do one drum beat, then run to the other drum set, sit in the seat, do one drum beat, and on and on and on and on, etc. The video also features a cameo by Beck, and if you look closely at the video, you can see passersby looking through the windows in the subway. --Shaun the Ripper 07:17, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Fell In Love With a Girl

Amazing song. Wild vocals from Jack, lots of bashing on the cymbals from Meg, and a whole load of genius from Michel Gondry, once again. Do you realize what the filmmakers went through to make this video? They built a huge thing out of LEGOS for one frame, then they took it apart and rebuilt it differently for another frame, it was made like The Hardest Button to Button video. And it probably took, like, eternities to make this thing. Just amazing. --Shaun the Ripper 07:17, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

Concerts

• Stripes 2005-08-15 Greek Theatre Hollywood CA

These are some short clips of songs that night... --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• "Screwdriver" at Reading

This is like, infamous now. And no, guys, Jack and Meg are not making out at the end. That's just their way of communicating onstage. And you see at the end, Meg's all happy and laughing, and Jack just keeps his straight face - Jack, you need to take some happy pills or something, cause it would be a sight to see if you and Meg just played happily onstage, both smiling and having a good time. Maybe Meg is just pretending to laugh, but inside she's thinking "Get out of my frigging way, Jack, I got to drum here! I just had a bunch of whiskey, so I can't..Jack..the..no!! Jack..don't...okay, Meg, pretend to laugh. You can do it. Oh, he's still not cracking a smile at all. Okay, he's..he's gone!!! Yay!!!" --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• "Screwdriver" at the Detroit Institute of the Arts

Ah...a very cool performance. If you look closely, you can see Jack's mom pulling him into the crowd at the end of the performance. This performance is an excellent example of the almost telepathic connection between Jack and Meg. --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)

• Happy Birthday, Jack White

25,000 Polish Stripes fans singing Happy Birthday in Polish to Jack. Happy freakin' Polish birthday, Jack! --Shaun the Ripper 05:37, 3 September 2006 (EDT)
