Hey Justin. I've been watching a bunch of your videos and really enjoying... I love your take on music in general and your passion for it. I am a 49 year old semi retired carpenter with 3 kids. I write and record my own songs at home and would be completely honored if you would have a listen. Here's a link to one on my channel czcams.com/video/7cZwDQ7mQs8/video.html
I’ve always admired the way Jack White manages to seem to have such a direct connection to the history of music but is always trying to think of new ways to do his thing too
I love Jack White! I've seen him live 2 times. I plan on seeing him this summer. If possible. I'm an old Southern Woman, who still loves to rock out. Even at 62 years old!
I regret discounting The Darkness back in the day. I was young, dumb and couldn’t see past an image that may not have resonated with me. Point being, I’m glad I’ve happened upon this channel. Justin is just a genuine dude who calls it like he sees it and I appreciate his insight into music and the biz in general. ✌️&❤️ from 🇨🇦
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain thanks for everything Justin! Your channel is so inspiring to young musicians ♥️ I'd be interested on your opinions on Aldous Snow (Russel Brand's rockstar character) btw if it's something you'd wanna do a video on. :)
I was at the concert last night in Vancouver. I flew out there because I wasnt able to make the concert in my hometown. You guys were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for being passionate and genuine artists/musicians.
I love Jack White! My all time favorite musician. A musical genius, renaissance man. master storyteller and performer. Just so incredibly talented it is hard to comprehend. And today, i learned what a theremin is, thank you!
You can always tell a real musician by the drum sounds they make. I love these videos, breaking down the songs. I was gonna say that it sounds a bit like Doctor Who, and then you broke out with it. I saw Jack in concert a few years ago and it was one of the best I’ve ever seen. He’s so intense.
I love how Justin rarely makes comparisons between The Darkness and bands/artists he talks about. While he certainly has a drive to make great music and be a fantastic entertainer, he doesn't seem to have a competitive bone in his body. Very Zen. Yet he is making interesting music that has a basis in fundamental blues and rock n roll while moving rock n roll forward just like Jack White.
Did anyone read the cover article about him in MOJO? The technique of how they got the video to look all messed up like that is a trip. They basically filmed it, then ran the film over the floor and rubbed dirt on it etc. Its nice to see/hear hands on work as opposed to CG for a change.
Meh. That’s one of the oldest tricks in the video playbook. That’s straight out of film school back in the analog day. It’s no different than splicing tape or creating feedback. Just a Mickey Mouse trick. Not really “a trip”. Tons of music video producers tried that back in the 90’s. I even remember watching an old Smashing Pumpkins DVD commentary where the director said they did that exact same thing, but that Billy Corgan vetoed it. Essentially, it’s what you do on the fly when you don’t have the software or the time.
The fact you can play a 10second clip of any song with Jack White on guitar and instantly recognise it's him speaks way louder than anything else. Having your own style, sound or aura in any creative outlet means 10x more than being "more technically competent" than another counterpart
this isn't relevant to your video, but I just wanted to say that I picked up the guitar and started to learn in late 2003 because I was inspired by two bands - the Darkness and Tenacious D. I just wanted to thank you for that because playing my guitar means everything to me, and if not for you I'm not sure I would have ever picked up a guitar. It's great to have access to your thoughts and opinions on music. Cheers Justin :)
For Theremin players go look at Imai Hisashi from Japanese mega band Buck-Tick, they have been together for donkeys years and still going, he has always had a Theremin onstage and uses it in many of their songs, also a wonderful guitar player to watch, left handed and very original, yes i'm a fan.
@@elizabethdunn9658 Well Elizabeth you'll be glad to know you are not alone, there are many of us out here. And I am also of course a huge fan of The Darkness like all right thinking people should be.
I’m in love with Jack and have been for years. I think he is brilliant. Ive seen him 3 times and it’s magical to see and hear him. One of the shows was w Raconteurs ❤️❤️❤️
I remember seeing this documentary, years ago, about the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, about how they got the sound for the Dr Who theme. It was some kind of scanner that created a sound envelope based on the parameters of a physical object. I think the main sound in the theme - the high line - was created by scanning the inside of a bottle, or something.
Cool tune, the riff has a "Let Me Entertain You" by Queen feel from their live in Montreal concert, but slowed a bit. Good stuff as always from Jack White
I would contend as a guitarist that Jack White's sound can be described as "raw" with respect to the expressiveness of his solos. Sure he has a lot of effects and production on them but the vibe and style convey the emotion of rawness compared to say Malmsteen if you catch my drift?
In the sense that it sounds like it wasn’t overly rehearsed and was probably only comprised of one complete take, as opposed to something like Sienese dream which has dozen of overdubs to produce that huge guitar tone that isn’t really possible to emulate in a live setting.
Also Jack White very much has a warts n’ all approach to recording, leaving in mistakes and little one of a kind idiosyncrasies that I would definitely describe as raw guitar style.
Black math live …. Wall of adrenaline heading straight for you. Jack White top guitarist there’s no doubt. Love the Chanel content Justin as varied and interesting as any out there !
The last SNL performances he did were unbelievable! One song was dedicated to Eddie Van Halen and he played his blue guitar that Eddie made for him and the other about the pandemic. He had an amazing drummer, his longtime bass player, and Jack absolutely killing it on guitar...I swear he transcends to another parallel universe. Fucking unreal...if you haven't seen it you're really missing out! This song is great too!
The early white stripes guitar tone is definitely "raw". I think the distortion sound was just a cranked Silvertone amp and he used a big muff fuzz and an octave down for seven nation army. They were really the only pedals. Now it's certainly a lot more going on with the sound for sure
@@strangewayfaringstranger one thing is for sure , he has an awesome guitar tone. Especially live. just rips your ears off. Don't get the haters who don't like him just because he's not Malmsteen or something
@@turquoisetangerinebusiness7240 the whole thing about the band is that they're almost an art project , the simplicity was deliberate. If you bash the drumming you don't "get it". Fair enough it's just not for everyone. Plus she is actually quite a creative drummer.
Great analysis as per Justin. When I first heard this track though, it instantly evoked Children of the Grave - Just me? By no means a rip-off, but it could well have been an inspiration in terms of overall feel, vibe and execution. xox
Justin I remember watching you doing the rounds on TV shows back in the early naughties and you were always good value and very entertaining then. Loving your CZcams channel and always end up clicking if I see a new on appear, especially if it's something I love so much like Jack White. For something a bit left field I'd love to hear your thoughts on Mdou Moctar, he's a Toureg guitarist from Niger (the same tribe who's musicians supposedly helped inspire Plant and Page on Kashmir). Jack White actually had him playing in the live venue he has in his record store. He plays amazing guitar but it's so refreshing to hear these totally different melodies and notes, never going where you would expect. He only discovered the likes of Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen around 2015 so you can hear how they have influenced his still faithful to tradition sound. Fascinating story if you dig it and read in to him. Keep up the great work, looking forward to many more of these brilliant videos.
I've been watching, learning from, and enjoying your videos all day and listening to you imitate a theremin was laugh-out-loud delightful! PS I keep hearing the theme as "Justin Hawkins - Right Again" and it works just as well!
I remember hearing the White Stripes strike up dead leaves on TOTP for the first time back in the day. I had to stop what I was doing and rush into the room to see it, I thought it was an instantaneous milestone in music, still do. I do love Justin's genuine appreciation and admiration for other musicians (that deserve it).
I’ve always respected Jacks way of morphing his output based on the concept of his band or where he wants to go as a solo artist. Raconteurs really displayed his greatness to me.
Consolers of the Lonely is one of the best rock albums ever. Very underrated. I saw them twice on that album tour, and they were incredible, way too small venues for them.
@@adamscottv Ain't it great to have seen this guy in moments where he wasn't the biggest thing on the planet? I saw White Stripes play in what was essentially a community gymnasium during the Elephant tour- was way more into them back then than I am now, but I still consider myself lucky to have seen them play.
I wish I could have seen them, but I witnessed the raconteurs at bonnaroo in 08 (I'm from tennessee) at 15 years old.. that album helped me actually become a drummer. But his or his bands live shows can only be the closest thing to what shows used to be like. He puts it all into whatever he is doing and anyone can respect that
Although a theremin *was* used in the recording of "Good Vibrations", the Beach Boys did not use a theremin when performing it in concert. I had the delight of attending one of their sound checks in the late '60s, and ventured up onto the stage to see their gear. The signature riff of the tune was played on what appeared to be a sort of ribbon controller, that had the notes marked off in some white marking substance, so that Mike Love could move his finger precisely, rather than guess. Some years back, I was thrilled to receive an e-mail from Tom Polk, who developed the Tannerin for the Beach Boys, confirming my recollection. It takes tremendous skill to be able to "play" a theremin melodically. A buddy brought one over that had a quantizer attached, to be able to provide pitched notes rather than silly glissandos and it was still hard to make one's hand move in as precise a manner as required.
I've seen Theremin's grand-daughter play a mean theremvox concert in Moscow 20 years ago. She was able to play with just one theremin electronic music, folk songs, but also a whole concerto with the equivalent of a classical orchestra. Just one finger moving and a new set of instruments could be heard. of course, you need 20 years of daily practise to reach this type of expertise...
(This question is asked with a lot of love and not a hint of criticism) I wonder if it's now time for a new take on the theme song? The initial Stairway-esque intro had that great ascending line into the falsetto and really captured that initial sense of "Wow, this CZcams venture is going to be fab, what can possibly go wrong?". And now, though I like the descending version, the second "again" on the E minor(?) is a bit melancholy for what are otherwise quite joyous pieces of content. It's like that second "again" would more naturally finish a line like "Ah man, I'm saying really good stuff but I'm going to get abused by horrible anonymous people again... (E minor) agaaaaain..." :'( Can I recommend a third version that captures more of a Born to Run spirit? (F) Justin Hawkins (Bb) rides agai(F)n... you anonymous trolling cunts(C7) Like a (F)vision he dances across the porch... etc Anyway, just a kind thought from a big fan. Give us a joyful intro song again, Lad.
Somehow you got me all interested on jack and growing up couldn't care less for the guy nor his sound. Your vids are mostly a masterclass!, obviously had to subscribed!
Excellent video, love your videos and jack White so perfect combo for me! You've introduced me to new music and bands i haven't heard before so thanks man keep being excellent 🤘
I met Jack once. Funny story. Walking into Gruhn’s Guitars in Nashville. My sister was with me and as I walked in I see Jack, before I could say anything as he looked up and smiled my sister goes “WORD UP EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS!” I About died. She had no clue who Jack was. He could see the look of horror on my face, smiled, laughed and said his hello’s.
I love his new stuff. He has brought back some of the White Stripes sound, particularly Icky Thump. I think this material is very Detroit New Wave Garage Bandesque.
The idea book. It's out of print, and the one you can find online is a forgery that doesn't work. Most people want to be buried with theirs, so you have to be prepared to bribe a funeral parlor, I'm afraid.
Echo that...great to be reminded when an artist like JW is venting his magic. Talking of modern, see what you think of these...modern rock band with great variety... czcams.com/video/-FWuMx_pkH4/video.html
My most favourite channel on CZcams, your really knocking it out the park Justin . But I can't help noticing the Yorkshire accent used when you said he was a lovely man. We all know what the Yorkshire accent means😉
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain You are going to achieve that GOAL and then some Sir Justin Hawkins !!! You Rock n Roll Knight ! Peace & Love from American Southwest
Live with White Stripes Jack played a plastic Sears guitar from the 60s that was falling apart into a Big Muff & a Digitech Whammy, I forget what amps but loads of reverb. So yeah, it is a processed tone, but I'd say it's still raw sounding, especially live. Raw as in abrasive, not raw as in "clean" as you said, or untouched/pristine whatsoever. Hopefully I'm not a moron?
You mention prolific output, check out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, they smash them out and I think you'd appreciate their diverse musical releases!
Hi Justin, love your channel! Minor correction here but Beach Boys used a ribbon synth (or ribbon controller, if you will) on “Good Vibrations” instead of a theremin. Keep up the great work!
The thing I think people ALWAYS missed about Jack.....is that he was never into nostalgia. He was always super into the next big cool thing. And in the 30s....that was blues. In the 50s....rock n roll. In the 80s....hip hop. In the 90s....alternative grunge stuff. And now.....computer aided stuff. Jack just loves whatever feels GOOD and genuine and honest and real and powerful and direct. It's not actually about nostalgia....and never really was.

Justin, excited to see you and the band live here in Calgary! Would love to meet the band. Hopefully that comes true tonight! Cheers!
It's refreshing to see a man so genuinely excited about a theramin.
Even more exciting is how much he can mimic the sound of one vocally. 😁😂
@@bridgetyoung190 It's Russian Im boycotting lol
If it's a Moog it's probably a Chinese-American theremin.

His tone always sounds like when the 9 volt battery in your first distortion pedal you ever bought is on the verge of dying.
Good analogy 😆👍
You may have hit on something here, is there a DYING BATTERY pedal ?
I've had that happen with my bass as it uses a 9 volt battery. The fuzz sounds good for about a minute but then it's obvious something's up
In Tokyo music shops you can buy a selection of boutique and NOS batteries if you are chasing that dying dry cell tone.
Buy the cheap Dollar General 9v's if you wanna nastify your pedals.

Or maybe play the new Doctor. Announcing his arrival every time by singing the song himself as he walks into the room

Very cool!
(This question is asked with a lot of love and not a hint of criticism) I wonder if it's now time for a new take on the theme song?
The initial Stairway-esque intro had that great ascending line into the falsetto and really captured that initial sense of "Wow, this CZcams venture is going to be fab, what can possibly go wrong?". And now, though I like the descending version, the second "again" on the E minor(?) is a bit melancholy for what are otherwise quite joyous pieces of content. It's like that second "again" would more naturally finish a line like "Ah man, I'm saying really good stuff but I'm going to get abused by horrible anonymous people again... (E minor) agaaaaain..." :'(
Can I recommend a third version that captures more of a Born to Run spirit? (F) Justin Hawkins (Bb) rides agai(F)n... you anonymous trolling cunts(C7) Like a (F)vision he dances across the porch... etc
Anyway, just a kind thought from a big fan. Give us a joyful intro song again, Lad.
Ok, we need a darkness cover of the Doctor Who theme now.
Please.

I will put out 2 albums this year. I am sure Mr. Whites will be better, I may have three....glad this show is part of my day.
I liked your observation and the compliments because you are two fantastic people, and you step out of your comfort zone ❤️xX Dai
Gotta Love Justin's Theremin impersonations🤣🤣
Congratulations on 100k subscribers! Cheers to your hard work!
Almost!
Excellent video, love your videos and jack White so perfect combo for me! You've introduced me to new music and bands i haven't heard before so thanks man keep being excellent 🤘
saw you play in Houston for the first time in like five years. great show, great songs. rock on.
Nice video, Jack is really incredible.
Congratulations on 100k. Well done, next stop 500k.
Cant wait to see you next Monday in Milwaukee!!!!!
Congrats on 100k! I didn’t expect you to hit that milestone until next week!
I met Jack once. Funny story. Walking into Gruhn’s Guitars in Nashville. My sister was with me and as I walked in I see Jack, before I could say anything as he looked up and smiled my sister goes “WORD UP EDWARD SCISSOR HANDS!”
I About died. She had no clue who Jack was. He could see the look of horror on my face, smiled, laughed and said his hello’s.
Great story
I love his new stuff. He has brought back some of the White Stripes sound, particularly Icky Thump. I think this material is very Detroit New Wave Garage Bandesque.
I Love Icky Thump
Hello Justin, I have a question i really want to know the answer to: Where do you get your ideas from?
Which ideas in particular?
General sorta ideas
An Norm Mac n Adam Eget fan I see
The idea book. It's out of print, and the one you can find online is a forgery that doesn't work. Most people want to be buried with theirs, so you have to be prepared to bribe a funeral parlor, I'm afraid.
I'm so out of it with modern music-thanks for the heads up about new Jack White releases! 🙂
Echo that...great to be reminded when an artist like JW is venting his magic. Talking of modern, see what you think of these...modern rock band with great variety... czcams.com/video/-FWuMx_pkH4/video.html
My most favourite channel on CZcams, your really knocking it out the park Justin . But I can't help noticing the Yorkshire accent used when you said he was a lovely man. We all know what the Yorkshire accent means😉
like a bad penny you just keep on popping up on my feed lol I gotta tell ya Justin your a great guy.Good heart KEEP UP the GOOD WORK!
I've been here since 98,000 subs, amazing to see you hit 100,000!
Holy shit!
In one of the early JHRA videos I applauded the return of JH the guitar maestro and human theremin - then this video happens!! 🤯
Hot Dang ! 👏👏👏🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥Also most 100,000 subscribers !!
So close!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain You are going to achieve that GOAL and then some Sir Justin Hawkins !!! You Rock n Roll Knight !
Peace & Love from American Southwest
His band members in the video are all him! He did songs from this album by himself, as you probably know by now.
Was going to say that! Thanks! That’s why the masks… and the blue hair
Live with White Stripes Jack played a plastic Sears guitar from the 60s that was falling apart into a Big Muff & a Digitech Whammy, I forget what amps but loads of reverb. So yeah, it is a processed tone, but I'd say it's still raw sounding, especially live. Raw as in abrasive, not raw as in "clean" as you said, or untouched/pristine whatsoever. Hopefully I'm not a moron?
Youre right justin hawkins. Theremins are tiiiight.
First time seeing you, and you linked jack white...and the doctor. Thank you so very much and remember...don't blink.
The riff reminds me of a Wolfmother song called Woman.
Congratulations on 100, 000 subscribers
See you on the ice!
Jack and the Darkness what an awesome collaboration that would be...
Wow your channel is going great. Nice work Justin!
Sci-fi blues. I feel like Jack would love to hear that as a description of his music.
100k subscibers! congrats Justin
didn't know I needed this video till now
Start sounds very Sweet .Blockbuster
Anyone else just hear Woman by Wolfmother
Great episode!
Me @9:53 “You can’t stop the metal, the metal will live on…”
You mention prolific output, check out King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, they smash them out and I think you'd appreciate their diverse musical releases!
fuck, what a tune!! cheers Justin, my beautiful brother
My favourite theremin is the acoustic theremin. Same in principle, but not plugged in. This track however is awesome
Ha ha silly brit, you crack me up. Thanks for making vids dude!
Congratulations on your 100k subs!! I'm not familiar with Jack White's solo music, let's investigate.
Wow, glad I found your Channel!
The Darkness first album is among the first 5 albums I ever brought as a youngling.
Still thinking about 2004 at reading festival .. the best
Hi Justin, love your channel! Minor correction here but Beach Boys used a ribbon synth (or ribbon controller, if you will) on “Good Vibrations” instead of a theremin.
Keep up the great work!
I had to pause your video to go listen to the song what a banger!
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion loved a bit of Theramin!
Hey, Justin. Congrats on 100K subs. I really enjoy the channel. Thanks, man! 🙂🔊🎶
Thank you!
100k subscribers... Well done Justin. Well deserved.
The thing I think people ALWAYS missed about Jack.....is that he was never into nostalgia.
He was always super into the next big cool thing. And in the 30s....that was blues. In the 50s....rock n roll. In the 80s....hip hop. In the 90s....alternative grunge stuff. And now.....computer aided stuff. Jack just loves whatever feels GOOD and genuine and honest and real and powerful and direct. It's not actually about nostalgia....and never really was.
