eqtworld: They suck and Meg is fat hot

eqtworld: They suck and Meg is fat don't make me all tingly like my favorite band the Jonas Brothers

FTFY

Well, sure they suck, but the Raconteurs are even worse so idk. Dead Weather's slightly less sucky.

The first song I heard at the beginning of this year was a group of drunken Germans singing the first bars of Seven Nation Army just a few minutes shy of midnight.

And I was in the middle of Spain.

Damn them, damn them to hell.

eqtworld: They suckrock and Meg is fathot.

FTFY

I, for one, can't wait. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I've enjoyed everyone of their albums....except parts of White Blood Cells.

I guess we can't all be elitist music snobs.

How long do you want to play this game?

This is great news, I look forward to new pictures of Meg White's chest.

So cutting the tour short had nothing to do with Meg's sex tape?

My submission that Meg is engaged to Patti Smith's son
got rejected!

i dig the white stripes. i don't understand all the contempt for them, but then again i don't really care. we all like different things.

btw, anyone have a link to that sex tape? i should've save it way back when

White Stripes are one of the only rock band still worth a shiat these days... Deal with it

bungle_jr I don't understand all the contempt for them

Jack White isn't the musical genius some proclaim him to be, in fact he's just another white dude ripping off black musical styles? Meg is a shiatty drummer who only gets a pass because of her rack? Any band without a bass player is lame from the get-go? The Pitchfork-esque "saviors of rock n' roll" hype surrounding them is pathetic?

Does that help?

ok...jaded bass player, i still don't really get the contempt. so what if he's not a "musical genius"? can't all be mozarts.

as for looks, yeah i think meg is hot and she has a ginormous rack that bounces nicely as she plays her simple drum parts. but i hadn't even seen a picture of them when i first heard their music and liked them.

and ripping off black musical styles? how? because there are elements of blues in some of their songs? hardly ripping off any particular race.

Oh damn, did Trent tell us to dislike the Stripes? I only got the updated memo about Cornell, Weezer, and Prince.

"Duuuuude!!! you're blowing up our spot! shhhh!!!!!"

I guess Keith Richards has terrible taste in music, doesn't he?

Jack was one of only three musicians the Stones called up to appear in their movie Shine A Light. Okay, one of those musicians was Christina Aguilera, but the girl can sing. The other one was Buddy Guy.

Jack's got the spark, that one in a million thing for musicians, and Keith can see it clear as day. But I guess the people in here who blindly hate the White Stripes know better than Keith Richards.

Base players and drummers are generally expendable.

Haven't listened to a NIN album in my life

try again. no wait, dont. you're wasting my time

00ghost27: try again. no wait, dont. you're wasting my time

Alright I'll leave the sass up to you.

I'm looking forward to it, they've reliably made listenable albums. Each album is loud, raw, and has something new to offer. I'm surprised at how much creativity and energy a two person band has managed to produce. I know it's mostly Jack, but he's definitely influenced by those he is working with, each of his collaborations produces unique results.

I'm an elitist music snob, and I really like them.

Especially the area around Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan.

They're authentic, and barring whether they're of technical aptitude or not, authenticity is one of the most important things in the industry these days. People making songs THEY want to make? Impossible.

Stopped by for the Meg White pics, leaving oh so disappointed.

The White Stripes SUCK. That is all.

I'd like to see you Meg haters try to play 3 minutes worth of quarter notes, then lets see how much smack you'll talk.

Nail.Hit.Head.

Meg is a professional drummer.
She is in a band with a record contract that has played all over the world.

You hacks who play along with your Dream Theater records play in your mom's basement.

I am a bass player.
I have fired more non-hack drummers in the last ten years than most of you amateurs have had hot meals.

I wish I had a nickel for every "dude,I can play YYZ just like Neil Peart" but can't keep a simple steady beat for more than a few measures.

Ringo too.

Hold a steady gig.
Show up.
Execute your parts.
Don't f*ck up.
Only then can you talk smack.

HappyHarryHardOn: White Stripes are one of the only rock band still worth a shiat these days... Deal with it

This.

Fark you all, haters. They rule.

eqtworld: They suck

Exactly.

and Meg is fat

I wouldn't say fat. She's sort of semi-cute, has nice titties, but can't play drums for shiat.

There's a lot of bands that are technically proficient but have all the spirit and style of freeze dried road kill. Sometimes the energy of the music is more important than just the mechanics of it.

A bunch of semi-animated cats are getting back together?

Wow, there is so much hate on this website that sometimes it amazes me. But oh well. The White Stripes are great, simple almost to a fault with the 2-person schtick, yet the music is way more complex than you would expect from a small group.

Having played a little music in my lifetime (very little since I am inherently lazy) I can say that they are both extremely talented musicians, and they deserve all the fame and fortune they have thus far.

i read that as white "zombie" and peed a little in my pants... then i read it again.

craigdamage: Hold a steady gig.

Hold Steady is a good group.

Luv the Stripes.
Meg is hot despite her drumming.

Still a big fan of the "old" stuff....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Funniest thing i've read today.

But seriously, did trent tell us not to like the White Stripes? I need to know!

really, i guess trent doesn't realize we can like other bands AND nin...ok, i haven't heard the new cornell, weezer, prince, or of course white stripes (since that's not even made yet) but i can guarantee i will like the new white stripes and weezer (i don't care how silly weezer songs get...i dig em!). prince is hands down THE best concert of all the 1000's i've been to...now, cornell's new stuff may really suck, i don't know. he probably will never match soundgarden.

I'm looking forward to more bird-squawking lyrics as "sung" by Jack White.

the hate is strong here...

but ICKY THUMP was an amazing record. really. give it a shot.

I love the White Stripes. I love Meg White's rack even more.

Sorry but there are many many good albums out there that require my attention at the moment.
