White Stripes are the greatest band to come out of the 2000's so far. They do things with 2 people that you can't imagine...and they just keep reinventing their music. I saw them live once, but it was a bad experience...so don't take it to heart. I don't know why they need an hour to set up for 2 people. PJ doesn't take half that long for 6+ people. But if you have any doubt, check out their grammy performance from a couple years ago. Unfuckinbelievable!

What the fuuuuuuuuuuuck! I LOVE IT, and now the first part of the question has been answered. I wonder if any of the other boys dig the Dynamic Duo? It just makes plain good sense to me, I say to you.

They're starting to overplay Denial Twist on the radio. Please radio don't destroy this gem. Of course I sing along each time, though.

the white stripes are easily the best thing to happen to music since 1991...in 20 years jack white will be synonymous with bob dylan as far as innovation and lyrics...and what makes a band great is how they perform live...those 2 are just amazing...i was extremely lucky to see them last summer at probably the last music midtown festival in atlanta. i think i would drop my pants and stroke it wherever i was standing if they opened for pearl jam.

UKDave · March 2006

White Stripes are awesome, when I first heard them (Elephant) I had to rush out and get the whole back catalogue... one of a handful of bands to leave me stunned!!

pj_zombie · March 2006

I've been bad. So far I still haven't picked up a Stripes album. I was watching the music videos for Blue Orchid and My Doorbell and nearly bought it on Saturday. I decided against it only because I still have to listen to Led Zeppelin II and OK Computer and I really don't need another CD. That being said, I'm thinking I'm going to give in on Tuesday. I enjoyed listening to Elephant a lot but I'm considering getting Get Behind Me Satan first. From what I've heard from them I consider Jack one of the best lyricists I've ever heard.

Eraserhead · March 2006

Fantastic band. Jack White is one of the best living guitarists at the moment.

Ball & Biscuit > YOU

wpost211 · March 2006

Had Elephant for a while. After getting Satan I had to pick up the rest. Each album great in it's own right. Recent favorite songs: Astro, Offend in every way, Sister do you know my name.

<~~~ blastin STEADY AS SHE GOES

I can't get enough!! It's soooo damn catchy. I cannot wait till these guys tour around these parts.

Ooooh, and speaking of The Ranconteurs, can we please all take a moment to admire the extreme PIMPNESS that is JACKIE WHITE...

http://300gp.ovh.net/~redcandy/uploaded_images/RTN_Raconte04401-757904.jpg

*yells* A kilt?! I fuckin LOOOOOVE it! This man's style ((all around)) is THE BEST!!

LOVIN the LOVE in here guys!

And whoa pj_zombie... Led Zeppelin II and The White Stripes mentioned together in one thread!?

Talk about orgasmic!! I'm beyond obsessed with both of em.

Again, no matter what WS album you choose to get next you can't go wrong.

I completely agree with you about Jackie too, one of the greatest lyricists I've ever heard as well. Yep, agree with Eraserhead too..one of the greatest guitarist at the moment and in fuckin general imo! This man is hands down one of THE most talented mofos around...on soooooo many levels!!! I still can't even begin to understand how so much comes outta ONE PERSON! There is nothing he can't do! The label "musical genius" doesn't even do him enough justice if you ask me!

**forever bowing down**

VEDHEAD27 · March 2006

Oh cafeamericaini, I also wanted to add that I completely agree with your post as well. GREAT post! It's true, these 2 are absolutely mind blowing live...as well as their entire approach to live shows.. To know that they NEVER rehearse and NEVER have setlists either??? :eek: They want each experience to be completely unique, super special, spontaneous and unplanned. How fuckin cool is that?? Their approach to music--the way it's made, the way it's performed...and any/everything in between is so RIGHT ON!!!!!!!

HA!!! :eek: OMG! LOL!@#$@#$

Yes! That honestly made me laugh out WAY loud!!!

pj_zombie · March 2006

I didn't know they did that live. That's awesome.

Well, I finally gave in yesterday. I had only a 50 in my wallet so I decided if I had to break it(which I did) I might as well get something. Lame excuse, I know, but I picked up Get Behind Me Satan. There's a couple reasons for getting this one first. The main one is I had the three songs they made videos for stuck in my head all weekend because I watched them. Not only could I not get them out but I also borrowed Elephant from a friend and heard that all already. I'll get that next because I love that CD too but I wanted to get all new songs if I was going to get something.

As it is, I love the album. I think Denial Twist is my favorite song off it. The lyrics and the way he sings them are amazing. I'll need more listens to see how I feel with the rest of the album but it's definately assured me I can get the rest of their stuff and not be worried about disappointment.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if he is wearing his kilt like a Scotsman.. :eek::eek: *slaps herself, snap out of it!
God Bless you VEDHEAD!!

King Jack on the Arctic Monkeys ;

“I love the Arctic Monkeys,” says Jack White. “Who doesn’t! I’d love to see them live, but haven’t got round to it yet. I never get to see bands because I’m never in the same town for more than two seconds.”

So does that mean he’d like to work with them in the future? “Yes,” said the wry tune-merchant. “We’ll start with the gardening and move on to the housework.”

Steady As She Goes feckin rocks out *bows ..Ved's while we are down here bowing sneak a peek up that kilt :cool:

VEDHEAD27 · April 2006

<~~~ been listening to STRIPEYs all day!

Hey...it happens.

HORRAY pj_zombie! Glad you finally gave in...and glad to hear that you're glad about it too.

Again, you can't go wrong here. Get Behind Me Satan
is definitely an extremely easy album to get you reeeeeally hooked in imo. This band can do no wrong!

HA LeeAnn!!

Too funny girl! A true Scotsman?! :eek: *slaps self too* Bowing down & taking a peak!? Whoooa. hahaha. Oooh man we just can't even help ourselves huh!? It's all the kilts fault damnit! haha. That thing is awesome. So is this man! So is this band!! OMG so are The Raconteurs!! TOO...MUCH..>AWESOMENESS! It's all extremely overwhelming.

Speaking of The ROCKIN Raconteurs, one of the bestest STRIPE sites around has now branced off and made an equally awesome Raconteurs site!!

They have pics up AND audio from the Glasgow show!! :eek:

http://raconteurs.redcandycane.net/

Sounds soooo good! This album is gonna kick MAXIMUM ass!!! I can't wait for it to be unleashed and to see them live!!! Oooooh, and how about that Bowie cover Jackie did at the show~> It Aint Easy!? Insanely gorgeous.

I'm also really diggin Yellow Sun! I can't stop listening to that one. I haven't listened to all of them yet cuze I'm having a really hard time getting passed these 2.

Does this song not have a super DOORS feel to it?! Dead on Peace Frog! Love, Love, Love it!

Something that stood out to me on
http://www.redcandycane.net/

[[Jack White talks about the future of the White Stripes in the newspaper The Evening Echo: "I'm having a slight break from The White Stripes but not too much.I've already got a lot of songs for our next record, so when I find two minutes to record it I will."]]

WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!

Oh also, check out our little model...
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a17/LadyPJ27/White%20Stripes/marcjacobsmegwhite7kh.jpg

And hey, while I'm here I might as well BUMP it up with a song!
LOVE this one! It's really grown to be one of my obsessed favs. I love the way it flows. It's so unique! Such a kick ass little break. And what Jackie delivers here pulls my heart right outta my chest and stomps on it every damn time(in such a great way of course). The way his voice shakes, the emotion that pours outta it!? *sigh* He sings the words with such strong conviction! It's all so harsh. I love that. Raw and Real...just like THE WHITE STRIPES all together. This line "what would I liked to have been? everything you hate" Whew! How can you not feel that??? *chills* He gets so into it! Nothing this man does is without 110% feeling behind it I swear. Genuinely intense! The last part is intense as hell too! Music & words alike, this one just stands out a lot to me. I absolutely LOVE the beginning guitar part...the plucking of those strings, strumming me straight to heaven.

Are you sure it "can't be love"? Cuze daaaamn.

*bows down to.....

((THE (UNION) FOREVER))

it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love

sure I'm C.F.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me

well I'm sorry
but I'm not interested in gold mines,
oil wells, shipping, or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate

cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love

there is a man
a certain man
and for the poor
you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favorite son
just by his action
has the traction magnets
on the run
who likes to smoke
enjoys a joke
and wouldn't get a bit upset
if he were really broke
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
if you don't know his name

you said the union forever
you said the union forever
you cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love
for there is no true love
it can't be love
for there is no true love

Jack White:

"I was thinking about different things people said in the film [Citizen Kane]. I wrote them down and some of them started to rhyme, so it worked out."

amentvedder · April 2006

L!! thanks so much for pointing out that wee Glasgow audio

and cool website!

"The Raconteurs have been forced to change their name in Australia.
Jack White's new band will be known as The Saboteurs down under to avoid conflict with a jazz band of the same name.
A statement to the Australian press reads: "The Raconteurs name was already taken by a jazz band, to make things easier, and in the spirit of espionage and subversion, we have decided to become The Saboteurs in Australia only."

hmmmm Let's all hail The Saboteurs oh ho yes

Feckin lovin' this album!!!!!!!!
Yellow Sun also has a BIG thumbs up from me!

The "something that stood out" - currently investigating that, cheers again L!

AWWww Meg yay! Pruddy

And after that stunnin discription i'm gonna spin ((THE (UNION) FOREVER)) right now and REALLY listen to it wow wot a band
*groupie screams*

::~LOve for the StripeY'S~::

pj_zombie · April 2006

Another friendly pj_zombie update.

After watching the Jolene video a few times off their site I went ahead and bought Under Blackpool Lights. I have to say, it's gotten me to definately want to see them live eventually. I also bought Elephant since I'd already heard the album a few times and I really love some of the songs on there. I might like it than GBMS. Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine is probably my favorite along with Ball and Biscuit. Man, Jack has some awesome guitar solos. My one one weak spot next to an amazing vocalist with passion(as in Jolene and many other songs on that DVD).

Under Blackpool Lights is amazing as are all their albums. My order from favorite to least is:

1. De Stijl
2. The White Stripes
3. Elephant
4. White Blood Cells
5. Get Behind Me Satan

Inkdaub · April 2006

I like them pretty good. My favorite lyric has always been "Dead leaves and the dirty ground when I know you're not around". That's a great line.

UNDER BLACKPOOL LIGHTS[size=+2] OWNS!!![/size]

depplover · April 2006

they're really cool! i went to one of their concerts and it was awesome!!

VEDHEAD27 · April 2006

<~~~ blastin *I FOUGHT PIRANHAS*

Always great to see this thread alive & kickin.

L...as always, you are so welcome my fellow Stripey girl.

pj_zombie, hell yes!! So great to hear that the love is going strong!!! Ball and Biscuit??

Whoooa there. Pease don't even get me started on that song. It just oozes sex. It's outta control.:o I'm not even sure that it's legal to tell you the truth. haha. I mean god damn!!!! The sounds that come outta this man?! Whew! Fuckin unreal. Yes, these solos are seriously beyond us all. He literally makes my jaw drop. And this majorly chill inducing, passion drenched voice is sure to make the strongest of men weak.

OOoooo UNDER BLACKPOOL LIGHTS!!!!!! Most excellent purchase.

If this doesnt perfectly capture the extreme greatness of the kick ass duo then I don't know what does!!! Yeah, it definitely succeeds in getting you super pumped up for some REAL live show action of your own. It indeed OWNS!!!!

Speaking of which, here's some awesome little accessories

Ooooh and also...LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKGw_KYH63k

WHOOOA!!!
:eek:!!!!

pj_zombie · April 2006

Lol, that video was weird.

One of my favorite things to see in Under Blackpool Lights is when Jack is going nuts on a solo and kind of does that rapid foot tapping thing as he moves sideways. He goes so fast. I'll be picking up White Blood Cells eventually, but I don't want to burn out on them so it'll be a lil' while. For now I have enough.
