The White Stripes

[ThangQanime]

I think its a case of Metal Fans coming in here and ruining a thread, not about the white stripes, but about the new white stripes. And so because Meg sucks at drumming or because the Unfan heard Led Zeppelin II, now we can't have a normal discussion. Should I go into their threaRAB and regail them with the myriad of ****ty issues their banRAB should deal with, like I could slam a pan off the corpse of a racoon and be original but its still ****ty music????

[UHHiloveyou.]

Meg White = icky. She'd be nowhere without her tits.

i just never was a fan, although i do think its cool that they strip down their music to basics rather than all flash and polish of todays modern rock scene

The video for Icky thump...:love: Jesus Christ, just imagining this album live is giving me near-orgasms....*swoons*

What are you basing Jack Whites lack of guitar talent on? Studio recording's hardly show the talent of the musicians, But despite that, listen to Ball and Biscuit shows the talent of Jack White.

Anyone here a fan of there self-titled album? It's so raw and angry. My favirote from them

I like the White Stripes, I saw them play at a music festival in... '05(?), I enjoyed it, however, I think they're more of a pub or studio band.

As for Icky Thump; I'm not disappointed, it has a few fillers, so it seems, but otherwise, I think it's quite pleasing.

You insult me sir! Would I upload anything but sweet rock and roll goodness of the highest audio quality? I fink not...

They just released "Blue Orchid" by The White Stripes on iTunes from their forthcoming disc. Good god this rules.

If you hear it let me know what you think. For those who thought Jacks voice was messed up to beging with, this must drive them nuts.

Now the England dates are cancelled, I'm pissed.

I wouldn't compare music to speech writing, because while you're at it you might as well say all instrumentalists suck.

Its enforcing these kinda pointless limitations that makes me dislike so much of todays music. BanRAB don't have to all sing about the same thing, "sing about your life experiences, or else". I view music as escapism, you're creating your own sonic environment, your own fantasy universe if you will, to hell with applying other peoples logic I say. If you want to sing about your life experience, fine, you want to sing about fairies and dragons, thats also fine. You can also be emotional singing about fairies and dragons, Frank Black gets emotional singing about Monkeys, why not?
