    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    i saw them in OKC in 2003

    they are so awesome live

    they haven't been within 300 miles of here since. they played Kansas City once in the middle of a week, i didn't find out until too late

    they seem to avoid this place like the plague, kinda like another band i love...

    i saw them at the cannery ballroom in nashville last month. i'll see 'em again in southaven, ms next month. i cant wait. i started a thread about dan sartain that no one replied too. he is their opening act for a lot of the u.s. shows. he sounds like a blend of punk and 50's rockabilly. it's a great opener for the stripes cause he'll make you want to jump around.

    I'm hoping to get tickets to a show or two....especially with the Cold War Kids as their opening band.

    That will be a most excellent night of music!

    I've seen them before when they played Berkeley back in 2005...GREAT show!! :D it made me appreciate them even more after watching them. :) jack is one talented man, going from piano to guitar to marimba...seriously, this man can do NO wrong! :) Meg and Jack's chemistry are one of the highlights of the show for me as well.

    I saw them two years ago in Minneapolis. Great seats, best concert I've seen not named Pearl Jam. Unbelievable to hear them in a small venue. Fantastic!

    WHITE HOT DUO
    STRIPES' OLD PATTERNS RETURN ON NEW RELEASE
    By DAN AQUILANTE
    BLACK, WHITE & RED STRIPES: "Icky Thump" is their sixth studio album.Rating: 3 1/2 *
    June 17, 2007 -- AFTER a decade of musical partnership between drummer Meg White and guitarist Jack White, the garage-rock revivalists have regressed to the same low-fi sound and nuts-and-bolts arrangements that were the essence of their early albums. The rawness of "Icky Thump" predates the albums that put the White Stripes on the map, namely 2003's platinum-selling "Elephant" and 2005's "Get Behind Me Satan," which sold half as many copies.

    "Icky" is a mash of distinctively American styles, from blues to country to various facets of rock, all presented in simple arrangements that mostly feature Jack's vocals and guitar supported by Meg's on-off drumming - not the piano and marimbas that cropped up on the last album.

    I liked the bigger sound of "Elephant" and "Satan" better. White limits himself with this old bare-knuckle attack. Still, he's a great guitarist and a very good composer - and "Icky" is anything but icky. The simple 1-2-3 combinations of word, melody and rhythm is musical DNA, simple building blocks that turn into towering tunes when Jack starts jumbling them up.

    Despite the decade of praise that helped propel the band, the title track is the Stripe's first Top 40 Billboard single. It's also the album opener, a nod to the guitar crunch or Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Yet by mid-album, stylistically fickle Jack is pounding his guitar and voice against a wall of brass for a cover of Patti Page's 1952 scorcher "Conquest," a symphony in vocal bellowing and bombastic flamenco guitar.

    There is no pegging this record to anything except White's eclecticism, which extends to a couple of Celtic-inspired folk tunes featuring bagpipes. He even dabbles in rockabilly in the final track, "Effect and Cause." But White is strongest when he sings the blues, especially the boogie "Rag and Bone" - it's a little Canned Heat, more John Lee Hooker and a lot of ZZ Top.

    You could trace the folk and blues on this album to Jack's move from his Detroit home to a backwoods town outside of Nashville where he, his pregnant wife and 1-year-old daughter live. But clearly that slide toward an earthier sound was already fully evolved a couple of years ago when he started the Raconteurs as a side band.

    With a healthy mix of love and life parables laced into this 13-song collection, White, who wrote all songs except the cover of "Conquest," seems to be happy outside of the Motor City, and the songs reflect that with passion and emotion.

    Who said you have to be miserable to make great art?

    Icky's a superb album that will be getting ridiculously good reviews...it's a foregone conclusion.

    I do love "Rag and Bone"....with it's Sanford & Son-esque exchanges between Meg and Jack. I can't not smile when I listen to it!

    Seeing them in less than 3 weeks! 3 days after I see Bob Dylan:) What a week.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    dude, from what i've read on here, you have some really shitty tastes in music yourself lol.

    feel free to not like them, but don't tell me they don't have any talent, because ya couldn't be more wrong.

    That is awesome. I envy you! I wish I could see the White Stripes again this year, but no shows close enough and no one that interested in going. Sucks! Hopefully they'll go on a more full scale american tour soon, though I do think its cool that they are touring all over Canada. Never seen Bob Dylan though, always wondered whether his shows are still good or not. I've heard mixed reviews. You should let us know how it was.
