The White Stripes

[ricardo]

I know, still Jack has produced excellent songs with white stripes (black math for example)
And besides Meg is hot lol, although hat's different

[deaths_friend]

anyone who has any understanding of minimalist music would appreciate just how awesome Meg is. no other style of drumming would suit the White Stripes sound.

[bjaiken]

^ Your comment makes it sound like Meg keeps it simple by choice. While it may work for White Stripe songs, it's not like she really has any other alternative. Meg is not really holding back anything...

[ricardo]

well White Stripes style is simple itself :rolleyes: But they are very good at it, Meg may not be the most skille drummer on earth but her drumming fits perfectly the wild riffs of Jack

[deaths_friend]

i dont see why everyone gangs up on Meg. if she was in any other band with any other musician she would be perfectly fine. but since she spends most of her time next to one of the best musicians of our era'a she gets unfairly scrutinised.

Meg is no different to Jonny Buckland, Adam Clayton or even Ed O'Brien, mediocre musicians who found themselves in amazing bands. and happen to be half decent with harmonies.

[ricardo]

or what about the edge, just some delay and simple arpeggios, and still for some he's one of the best guitarrist around

LMAO.you are kidding me ?
you don't have a clue about "minimalistic music" if you think she's awesome!

BECAUSE SHE'S WACK AS HELL!

When Meg White creates the signature sound for the biggest band over the last 25 years, we will continue this conversation.

[deaths_friend]

No

what no?

there is no way anyone can convince me that the white stripes would be a better band if it was john bonham or keith moon behind the drums. its called chemistry.

[bjaiken]

^ I didn't say White Stripes would be a better band.

1) She would not do fine in another band. She is not a good musician.

2) She is a far worse musician than the others that you mentioned.

I could play the drums in Blue Orchid, and I don't even know how...

[ricardo]

well if you don't like meg then don't listen to the white stripes

[bjaiken]

well if you don't like meg then don't listen to the white stripes

Where did I say I didn't like Meg White? Could you please show me? I think I'll keep listening to what I want irrespective of your advice.

All I said is that Meg is not a skilled musician. Nothing more, nothing less. I like the White Stripes just fine.

[deaths_friend]

ok ok that should do with all the meg fighting. i'm sure we can all agree that shes a beautiful girl in an awesome band.

anyone brave enough to predict when the next White Stripes record might come out? if any!!
and what will this new movie be about? jack said his in the process of mixing 40 tracks for the film!

1. I do think White Stripes are an awesome band.

2. Meg is hot except for her teeth. I would expect to find those teeth in the mouth of Keith Richards.

3. I am not brave enough to predict a new White Stripes album. I have not read of anyone knowing anything, so I am still waiting to hear something (if there is anything to be heard).

[ricardo]

I hope they come out with a new album on 2010

[Dejan]

what no?

ok.you are the winner,kid.end of the discussion.
go buy an ice cream now

[deaths_friend]

i think alot will depend on how successful the dead weather are. right now i have my doubts over this project. i watched about 20mins of footage of their performance in New York 2 weeks ago and really didnt like what i was hearing. they seem to be going for this really dark artsy sort of led zep feel and it just wasnt working for me. i really hope i'm proven wrong when the album comes out in June. in my opinion Jack White is yet to make a poor album (get behind me satan got close for me but its sooo popular amongst other people) Horehound will be his 9th since 1999. quite the achievement if you ask me, especially in this day and age.

[Dejan]

it's called chemistry.

LMFAO

LMFAO

What's wrong with that statement? I agree, White Stripes have good chemistry.

If you don't agree, that's fine. But there is no need to be condescending.

[deaths_friend]

why are we back on this again??

am i the only person on this forum who has heard most of the white stripes work? if not i would love to know what people put as their fave album.

1. Elephant
2. Icky Thump
3. De Stilj
4.White Blood Cells
5. Get Behind Me Satan
6. White Stripes

[ricardo]

mmm
I still haven't heard at all some of them, buy elephant may be one of my favorites, and I do think get behind me satan is among their least good, but I haven't heard well the first two

[Dejan]

go buy a brain

go kill yourself dick head

[deaths_friend]

mmm

i highly recommend De Stilj. its a very easy listen!!

[ricardo]

the one with you're pretty good looking, death letter and let's build a home? :thinking:

[deaths_friend]

yeah thats right. other highlights include I'm Bound To Pack It Up and Truth Doesnt Make A Noise. there's some great acoustic work on this album.

i really like it how he is always evolving his sound, never gets boring with jack white around.

[mark.n5]

Alright, the Stripes are one of my favorite rock groups. I've been a fan since the beginning, Jack is such a great performer and really knows a lot about music. Also like the Raconteurs, a promising project. Anyone heard the album Jack did with Loretta Lynn?


1. De Stilj
2.White Blood Cells
3. Elephant
4. Get Behind Me Satan
5. White Stripes
6. Icky Thump

[deaths_friend]

^^

as obsessed as i am with jack white i haven't had the chance to listen to his work with Loretta Lynn. is it any good?

where would the ractonteurs albums feature in that list of best white stripes albums?

[ariadnasquire]

I just found it here (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/jack_white_unveils_solo_album_plans.html).

Jack White Unveils Solo Album Plans

According to a report by Nme.com, musician Jack White has stated he may record a solo full-length this year.

The White Stripes frontman stated he could end up recording a solo album soon enough but he doesn't know what it will take for him to do so.

When asked if he will ever release an effort by himself, White replied: "Eventually, yeah, for sure." and also discussed the idea of playing every instrument by himself.

"I've never done that [played everything himself]," said White. "I thought about that. That might be the challenge - to differentiate from anything else that I've done."

In regards to all of his projects with The White Stripes, The Dead Weather and The Raconteurs, the musician said he didn't know when new material will be released.

"It would be a mistake for me to premeditate anything, even in the next six months, to say what I'm going to do," he explained. "I honestly could be working on a White Stripes [album] in the next two weeks. I have no idea if that is going to happen. And the same with The Dead Weather. I'd rather live like this without a calendar in front of me."


I post it here, as that's his 'first band' so...

[deaths_friend]

im starting to get over his weirdness, its slowly creeping into "annoying" territory.

but the fact that it only takes him 2 weeks to record a classic album keeps things interesting

[Gilda]

I don´t know too much about "The White Stripes" but i like the songs i listened :). They are good.
