One of the most rambunctious songs off "a very brave record," or so the critics phrased it.
"Red Rain" is one of the wildest songs in the Stripes' catalogue. The second-last track off 2005's Get Behind Me Satan, it's a loud, blistering song dripping in slide guitar, Meg's heaviest beats, and Jack's voice, hoarse from telling off the dishonest people around him at one point in time.

It's important to remember that Rude Rick runs the southwest side of Detroit.
Ryan and Matt discuss an absolute banger of a White Stripes track: the bombastic tapestry that is Red Death at 6:14. They discuss the creation and structure of the song, the possible story behind the lyrics, and the unbelievable story of the distorted voice that starts the track.
Recorded as an encapsulation of the early 2000s garage rock scene in Detroit, Red Death at 6:14 became an important part of Jack and Meg's catalogue.
