It’s probably up there as one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in history but apparently when Jack White first played it for a label executive he was told that it sucked…

…in that executive’s defense it sounds like at the time White only had the riff and the song did undergo significant development after that…

But even ludicrously White also faced opposition from the labels, when he told them he wanted to release 7 nation army as the first single from the new album.

Despite the label’s misgivings the single went on to explode up the charts, win a Grammy and awards for the best music video as well as being routinely included best songs of all time lists…

Fun Fact: When Jack White was a young kid he misheard "The Salvation Army" as "The Seven Nation Army" and the title was initially a placeholder before being incorporated into the track
