In our opinion the biggest stadium anthems are “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” by Queen, Rock & Roll Part 2 by Gary Glitter, “Jump Around” by House of Pain and just recently “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes. It’s a little different then the average stadium anthem because instead of singing along the crown actually mimics the songs bass line.
I’ve always been intrigued by Jack White’s 1950′s Kay Hollowbody Archtop guitar that he covered in a paper bag. White uses this guitar when performing “Seven Nation Army” with The White Stripes. It was covered in a paper bag to help to stop feedback though the f-holes in the hallowbody.

Jack White and his second wife Karen Elson were married by a shaman on June 1, 2005, aboard a canoe on the Amazon River in Brazil.

On April 9, 2011, Congresswoman Donna Edwards spoke on the House Floor about all the seniors, servicemen, women and children who would be affected by a government shutdown by using lyrics from The White Stripes’ song “Effect and Cause” from their 2007 album Icky Thump. The Maryland Democrat performed a spoken word cover of the song dedicated to her “Republican colleagues”.
