In 2005, Jack began working on songs for the band’s next album at his home. He played with different techniques than in past albums, trading in his electric guitar for an acoustic on all but a few of the tracks, as his trademark riff -based lead guitar style is overtaken by a predominantly rhythmic approach. The White Stripes’ fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan , was released in 2005 on the V2 label. The title is an allusion to a Biblical quotation Jesus made to the Apostle Simon Peter from the Gospel of Matthew 16:23 of the New Testament (in the King James Version , the quotation is slightly different: “Get thee behind me, Satan” ). Another theory about this title is that Jack and Meg White read James Joyce’s story collection ” Dubliners ” (published 1914) and used a line from the story “Grace” to title this album. The title is also a direct quotation from Who bassist John Entwistle ‘s solo song “You’re Mine”.
