The White Stripes - For the Love of Ivy video free download

Didn't they also do She's like Heroin to me?

Early The Gun Club were f*cking beyond everyone else (at least until the first Pixies album). The White Stripes were OK. Still I'm glad the Stripes recognized the Gun Club as a key influence. The Gun Club is one of the most important band in the history if rock and roll - up there with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, The Ramones, and a few more.

Nice! A guy calling himself Brianjonestown has the audacity to call JW a "poseur." Lol, how rich is that.

BIG YOGI

JLPs dead dude

James Clark

jack liked the song and covered it. he sang it the way he wanted to and jlp should thank him because jack is a beast and the world knows that. compare them ha ha that right

It's called respect. You're honestly mad because he didn't use an extremely offensive racial slur? "Bowdlerized cover" man...just because one word. Apparently the word "nigger" is the only reason why the original was good because WITHOUT IT the song is trash. JLP would be ashamed that you're a fan of his.

Brake Drell

Wow...you're actually upset because a reputable musician chose not to use the word "nigger"? The fact that you think the song is worthless SIMPLY because he didn't say "nigger" means that you think that word is what defines the song. You're a fucking idiot. Man, there are some pretty dumb people on youtube, but you're one of the dumbest.

Brianjonestown

I had no idea that you alone held the key to JLP's "message" (or Jack White's for that matter, which in fact is closer to "fuck Jeffrey Lee Pierce, I'll neuter his song if I want"). I "should appreciate" a bowdlerized cover?? Uh...thanks anyway but I'm good. You can go right ahead with your appreciation of this gutless performance.

John Pelico

Clearly you find the messages conveyed in music to be an integral part of the listening experience. Right...JLP is not Jack White. Jack White stands for something entirely different. His message isn't "Fuck you, fuck everyone, I'll say what I want." You should understand this and appreciate the fact that he's just playing a song. The tone and energy is true to the original. It doesn't matter that he didn't use an extremely offensive word.

ComradeBlue

Okay, I'll just go back to enjoying music.

Brianjonestown

That's right -- turn it into a meaningless what-if bet. Nothing like playing it nice and safe, just like Jack White did with the song.

ComradeBlue

No but your comments are made "nowadays." What year is it now? 2012? Anyways, you're telling me "I was hunting down in the dark" completely ruins the song and voids it of all meaning? When really the more important idea is that he got a better thought and is going to go hunt Ivy. I'm more than willing to be that if JLP was alive today, he wouldn't feel dishonored by this cover or upset that Jack White didn't use the n-word. In fact I'd be willing to bet he'd be happy about the cover.

Brianjonestown

That's the most ignorant load of shit ever posted under a Gun Club clip. The song was written in 1981, a while before "nowadays". In this case, if a song is broken by a single word it means the most important line was pulled by a poseur. Get your head out of your ass,kid. JLP's legacy was dishonored by the cover.

ComradeBlue

This is exactly what's wrong with music nowadays. People think you have to be all "niggers and bitches, money and drugs" to be all HARDCORE DUURRR HUUURRRR. If your song is broken by a single word than there must have not been much in the song to begin with.

Brianjonestown

That's exactly why the cover is worthless, as far from ferocious as it will ever get. JLP was ferocity in the flesh, the Johnny Cash of LA hardcore. Jack White is genuine rockstar, but he's also a poseur so it's not surprising he made a decision to pussy-lube JLP's lyrics.
