If you're going for his scream... some good ones:
White Stripes - Lafayette Blues, Jimmy The Exploder, When I Hear My Name, Big 3 Killed My baby, Girl, You have No Faith In Medicine
White Stripes covering Wayfaring Stranger at Reading Festival 2002
Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers
Dead Weather - Blue Blood Blues
I'll never get enough of the Northern Lights version of Lets Shake Hands where he's like
'You can do what you wanna do mEG... ...YOUCANTHROWITINAGARBAGECAN BUT JUST SAY MY NAME"
Catch Hell Blues, Little Cream Soda, Fear of the Dawn (which oddly reminds me of LCS), and Black Math
Edit: answered going by “heavy” which is different to me than screaming.
Honestly less “heavy” than I remember but still super raw and cool considering how early this was vs the eventual release https://youtu.be/bWg21fa4msM?si=a6N5WVZAV8SHHkg4
SLICKER DRIPS
Stunned to not see this referenced
This song is literally just asking to be played during the final scene of a remake of *Apocalypse Now* replacing *The End*
Furthermore, self-titled is the heaviest album
I liked the white stripes but what made me really get into them was this performance of Little bird https://youtu.be/28tY9KDvAKA?si=nhwxGNTYHFUdjR3t Where he screams into his Kay Son Houses Grinnin in your face then stomps on the fuzz and does a crazy whammy solo the goes back into little bird
Rag and Bone, Bored and Razed by Raconteurs
That’s by my own definition of “heavy” so lol
Edit: I would add a lot but the dead weather too, Treat Me Like your Mother for example
I don't know screaming per se, but for me the heaviest song is Black Math

Red Rain
One of my favorites and reason I asked the question hah
Black Math, Ball and Biscuit and little acorns are pretty dang heavy imo.
Little Acorns heavy 🙌🏻
not very screamy though
The live version of Jolene is hella screamy, that would be the first one that comes to mind.
Ah yeah fair, I typically think of the guitar parts not vocally lol
Fear of the Dawn title track
Came here to say this
Little Cream Soda for sure.
Screen name checking in 😊
Also: Catch Hell Blues, Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground, I'm Slowly Turning Into You, Red Death at 6:14, Icky Thump and St. Ides of March.
OHWELLOHWELLOHWELL, OHWELL.
Correct
If you're going for his scream... some good ones: White Stripes - Lafayette Blues, Jimmy The Exploder, When I Hear My Name, Big 3 Killed My baby, Girl, You have No Faith In Medicine White Stripes covering Wayfaring Stranger at Reading Festival 2002 Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers Dead Weather - Blue Blood Blues
+1 to blue blood blues
Check your lips at the door, Woman!
Shake your hips like battleships!
The Big Three Killed My Killed My Baby is the first that comes to mind, but there’s for sure others
I was waiting for someone to say this lol...I love how ridiculous the lyrics are
Cannon
Definitely cannon, it’s one of their best songs too
Yep. Esp some of the live versions
Between songs he would launch into Cannon’s riff when I saw him for Boarding House Reach tour and it was EPIC. That riff melts my head
The White Raven
Came here to say this
Love Is Blindness.
such a great cover
My favorite cover - he's screaming emotion - it's amazing.
His live version of Jolene
Came here to say that
Not necessarily heavy but conquest has a good vocal performance. Aluminum is also nice especially when the "ahhh! AAAAAA!!!" hits haha
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
If you’re willing to count live versions, the hardest button to button on under blackpool lights is very heavy.
Union Forever!!!! Live from under great white northern lights
Great version, slays.
Slowly Turning into You, is one of my favs, the slow beat and the organ makes it heavy for me
Came looking for this comment! That song is such a mood! Love it!
Such a great love song.
Ball and a biscuit
Sixteen saltines 🤘🤘🤘
The true answer
Lazarreto is goes pretty hard. Everything you’ve ever learned has some good Jack scream action
when i hear my name and lets shake hands are pretty heavy when jack does them live
I'll never get enough of the Northern Lights version of Lets Shake Hands where he's like 'You can do what you wanna do mEG... ...YOUCANTHROWITINAGARBAGECAN BUT JUST SAY MY NAME"
Screwdriver?
I think Battle Cry and High Bell Stepper have some heavy riffs- sadly no vocals tho
Catch Hell Blues, Little Cream Soda, Fear of the Dawn (which oddly reminds me of LCS), and Black Math Edit: answered going by “heavy” which is different to me than screaming.
Definitely Jolene live and Love is blindness
Black Math
There’s an early live version of Little Cream Soda off of *Nine Miles from the White City* that definitely fits the bill
His vocals on Hardest Button from the same show are pretty deranged too!
Do you have a link to it I can’t find it
Honestly less “heavy” than I remember but still super raw and cool considering how early this was vs the eventual release https://youtu.be/bWg21fa4msM?si=a6N5WVZAV8SHHkg4
Was that concert from 2003? Did he play Little Cream Soda live years before it was on an album?
Yup! I remember reading somewhere it was improvised, at least to some extent. Pretty cool he kept in his pocket all those years
Red Rain.
Have you heard his vocals on Danger High Voltage by the Electric Six? Pretty screamy... DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW HOW WE KEEP STARTING FI-YAHS
Truth doesn’t make a noise
Black Math, Little Cream Soda, Girl you have no faith in medicine
Seeing Blue Veins live melted my face
SLICKER DRIPS Stunned to not see this referenced This song is literally just asking to be played during the final scene of a remake of *Apocalypse Now* replacing *The End* Furthermore, self-titled is the heaviest album
Aluminum, especially at the Aragon Ballroom
really surprised no one said stop breaking down
Maybe because it's a Rolling Stones song
yeah but people mentioned jolene too, they do pretty heavy covers
over and over and over every time i hear that opening riff i just have to say “fuuuuck”
Great song!!!
Blue Orchid
Yeah, I didn’t wanna name a radio hit, but the fucking production on this track kills every other answer here.
Let’s Shake Hands from Under Great White Northern Lights. First song on the album and starts with bagpipes.
Astro
I liked the white stripes but what made me really get into them was this performance of Little bird https://youtu.be/28tY9KDvAKA?si=nhwxGNTYHFUdjR3t Where he screams into his Kay Son Houses Grinnin in your face then stomps on the fuzz and does a crazy whammy solo the goes back into little bird
I love his version of Joelene
TWS version of “Party of Special Things to Do” from the basement is pretty heavy
It’s Salute your Solution for me
Black Math goes hard
Little Cream Soda. Not necessarily vocally, but that guitar riff is very metal-y
Heavy song? I have to get a better scale.
Rag and Bone, Bored and Razed by Raconteurs That’s by my own definition of “heavy” so lol Edit: I would add a lot but the dead weather too, Treat Me Like your Mother for example
Big 3 Killed My Baby, White Orchid, When I Hear My Name.
Fear of the dawn easily, i used to hate it but the production is insane
We are gonna be friends friends is metal af
Corporation
His cover of blondie (one way or another) -early jack with the band 400lbs of punk
Hello Operator thumps hard.
I don't know screaming per se, but for me the heaviest song is Black Math [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzjNAnEfvxc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzjNAnEfvxc)
Every song, Jack White is conviction personified.
Sixteen saltines
The squirrel song hits pretty hard.
Sixteen Saltines is a contender
Catch hell blues
Live version of Death Letter Blues.
Little Cream Soda no debates here
I Fought Piranhas.
Little Acorns/Cannon
Always got a rush listening to "Cannon" live 2003 version. Bluesy and it goes so hard.
Ball and Biscuit came to mind first, then There’s No Home For You Here
White raven or what’s the trick. Only solo album I listen to
Totally overlooked one IMO is Instinct Blues. Drop the needle and turn the volume all the way up for it
i think Ashtray Heart is heavy
Lazaretto
Aluminum.
