In other news, I never noticed how much Jack can sound like Robert Plant when he wants. I probably should have, in retrospect, but I didn't.

/Chris Robinson did a good job at it as well.

They are amazing live. When they cover Jolene, it might just be the best four or five minutes of live music on the planet.

You're joking, right? She sucks out loud!

I mean, I love The White Stripes but Meg's drumming is pretty terrible.

yes you can

the live dvd is really really really full of energy. I want to see them live. One of the current bands I actually want to see.

Besides Buckethead

Both are correct. It is terrible drumming that fits the songs and style of the band. It's still terrible.

I don't even agree with this. I like some White Stripes songs, but they would be so much better with a real drummer, and maybe a bass player.

In other words, they'd be better if Jack White were in a different band entirely.
Maybe so, maybe not

I lived in Nashville and saw Jack around town so regularly that I started to assume he was just another person with no magical qualities anymore.
Then I see things like this and remember why it is I wanted to lay in bed between him and Meg being petted by them both.

Jack should do the Led Zeppelin gigs in lieu of Percy, it would be perfect.

White Stripes bashing thread? AND I'm in before the bashing? Screw the guys on their way, I like the band.

I think it is a little sad that you cant enjoy the simplicity and subtle nuancies that she brings to the drums. Not everyone needs to be a drum masturbator like pert. Often less is more

Being able to keep playing in tempo is even more more.

Oh man. Meg White is on my list of 5, to my girlfriend's constant dismay.

there is more to music then robotic precision, Meg plays with feel and emotion, sometimes to get that feel you need to be behind or ahead of the beat. Pertian mastubatory drumming is not the only school.

I'd settle for competence.

I play guitar* with feeling and emotion. Who needs notes or tuned strings?

* I don't know how to play guitar

MEG IS A TERRIBLE DRUMMER. The music she and jack make is very farking cool.
That's all there is to it. She's still a shiat drummer though.

Under the same logic, Thomas Kinkade is a much better painter than Van Gogh.

I love the playing of Meg White. It's perfect for the White Stripes. Any more and it just wouldn't be right. I know a guy who could give Peart a run for his money and he says Meg is his top favorite drummer.

Saw them live last year and it was one of the best shows I've ever been too. Well, up at the top at least. Kenny Wayne is up there too.

/more Meg pics?
//Please?
///Peart is an excellent drummer.
////I'm also a huge Rush fan.

You're 100% correct. Her lousy drumming is perfect for their crummy songs.

Who cares if they sound like Rush or not? I only care if bands sound like good.

/which these guys don't

No they're not joking. White Stripes fans think Meg is better than Pert. JUST KIDDING(get it?)
