Jack White's 'Sixteen Saltines' (VIDEO)

Jack White released a raucous music video for his equally rowdy rock 'n' roll track "Sixteen Saltines" today. The video, directed by AJ Rojas, features an anarchist world where kids and teenagers have taken over to terrorize a town, one another and White.

The kids' antics are kind of hilarious, though mostly terrifying. Punk kids eating bread stuck to the ceiling with peanut butter, and a ten-year-old boy tattooing his entire body? Kind of funny. A 12-year-old couple playing a game of house that leads to domestic violence? Now that's disturbing.

The cliffhanger ending is the kicker, though. A young boy painted in peeling blue paint pours gasoline over a car with White bound by hand and foot inside. He pulls out a Zippo, then … well, you'll just have to watch to find out. The video was directed by AG Rojas.

"Sixteen Saltines" is a preview of White's upcoming solo album Blunderbuss.

mr. white. the man is a genius... a musical mad scientist... a mastermind. everything he touches becomes wanted. his music is always incredible, his ideas are always epic, and his passion for being an outcast.. always standing out in a world that constantly tries to fit in. i admire him so much.

I love this video! He always surprises me with how creative he is. Recently, he just released 1,000 flexi disc via helium balloons, and told his fans that their only chance of getting one was to find a balloon that had popped! Check out the video for it: http://pitchfork.com/news/45993-jack-white-releases-new-song-via-balloons/

LOL! In the screen cap for this story, Jack looks just like Sigorney Weaver!

Just when I'm down in the dumps, I get a Jack White treat...sort of. Thank you for keeping him in your sites because I pretty much can't get enough of the guy. After reviewing this video, I'm wondering if his kids are going through a bratty phase - giving him nightmares? Ha. Or is it just time for him to relocate to another neighborhood? Maybe I should watch it again - at least the tied up part. Jack White is always interesting. Always!

He's a genius, but I don't think the video was as good as the Conquistador video..
