I love the white stripes...

I'd say my favourite album by them is White Blood Cells... I think it is their most diverse. But one of my favourite songs by them is Jimmy the Exploder from their first album... I love the guitar in it, I just wanna get up and dance.. :D

Oh and I love hello operator from De Stijl :cool:

..allthough there are brilliant songs on all the others..Hypnotize, 7na, apple blossom, truth doesnt make a noise, wasting my time.. And their version of Jolene.. *is speechless*

Elephant has the lifespan of a dead baby. I like their older stuff, but White Blood Cells is their best album, IMO.
Yes, I agree. WHOTE BLOOD CELLS is their best album. Although ELEPHANT has been the best album of the last year (together with ABSOLUTION). Ummm the version of GOOD TO ME of Brendan Benson is very good, too. Ther original song is very pop but the version of WS is very rock and harder.

Sorry for my English, it´s HORRIBLE!!!!!!

I think what makes me like both of them is more the weird/beautiful vocals than complexness or lack thereof.

We play 7 nation army with my band and we exchange our instruments on it.... its a simple & genius song... i have no rythme and i can play the drums on it! Ppl even told us we play it better than the white stripes (which cant be right, we know... they obligatory play it the best!) but i think they say that cos i add things with the drums and we're 3 in the band and we play it twice its speed. (which is the perfect speed for pogos)

lol he used to be an upholsterer. But surely an argument couldn't be that severe after all they are divorced, something must've happened there lol.

Anyone going to see them in Dublin? They're playing Marley Park later this month, going with a bunch of friends who are OBSESSED, White Stripes and them is like me and Muse lol. Well, they're supposed to be amazing live so I'm looking forward to it. Tickets are bloody expensive though! €60!

Bought this DVD earlier. Watched it as soon as I got in.

The beginning is so breathtaking the first ten songs, often blended into another, simply fly by. The DVD is as minimalist as the band, the image is rough and fuzzy and there are no extras. The music and stage prescence is uneblievable. I don't think there is any other band out there at the moment who are quite like The White Stripes live. I think they can compare with Muse the way they transform their songs into something else when they're played live..for examples watch Hotel Yorba (which is more energetic and heavier than on record) and Hardest Button to Button (which features no recurring bassline, Jack fills the gaps and makes up with some really odd pitch bending and pitchshift-fuckage).

The performance, direction and everything is top notch, but it'll drag toward the end when they start playing the slower first album tracks unless youre a hardk0re stipes fan

4 1/2 out of 5

Took a while for me to warm to it, but it's great. Better than anything off Elephant except 'Ball And Biscuit', 'Seven Nation Army' and 'Black Math'

I like thier new song. Seven Nation Army was good, but it got overplayed sooo much and its just annoying now. Theres a limit to how many times you can listen to that riff. Blue Orchid will no doubt turn out the same, but its good the now :P

tis fuckin crazy though. only 2 tracks though so I will suspend judgement as long as possible

Mort

28-05-2005, 11:49 AM

I listend to the album today on the radio. I didn't realy like it. i think, even though they've added a lot of different instruments, it somehow came out as being even more minamalistc than the last two albums. I didn't find it very inspiring, and it was rather repetative.

If you want to hear the album then it should be repeated at 3am this thursday, australian time. So deduct as many hours as necessary for your time zone.

Yeah,

my favourite band (after muse of course ;)) is white stripes. I recently bought their new album 'get behind me satan', and I think that album is very good. I haven't got other albums of them, can somebody tell me (another WS-fan???) if there's a big difference between their albums. Do the 'elephant'-tracks have the same beets as 7 nation army???

I'll just edit it now then. :D

And yeah, their albums do vary a lot. Get De Stijl though. It's the dogs.

Joni Mitchell??? She's no Phil Mitchell! I really don't like her voice. She spoiled an otherwise flawless performance at Glastonbury. :indiff:

Auron

04-09-2005, 09:12 PM

yeah it's what a voice sounds like when it can't sing but put in the effort anyways.

She's got a horrible singing voice, you can't deny it. but everything else is there, the character, the effort and the spirit.
fair play to her.

It wasn't a cheap concert, but worth going. :happy:
I liked a lot of their songs (including my fav "My Doorbell"), but found especially acoustic numbers were sweet. If I can take only a few things to a desert island, I would definitely include Jack White.

The tickets to the second concert were kind of expensive, but it was worth every penny!!! :)

no but the new album could have been alot better, i think it could have been a little more guitar based.
Might it then just have been another Elephant though? My initial opinion was the same as yours, as I'm a guitar player and I wanted a full-on blues album. But I'm glad they didn't do that now. I can always bang on De Stijl for that. :happy:

It was very dissapointing to find out that all the other songs on the album were absolutly dreadful. I decided copy the 2 good songs on my computer musi library, and then sell the album to the used CD store.

Jack White's Bad Decision- The Raconteurs
Jack White's Good Decision- Icky Thump

Fuckin' love it! It is indeed very 'White Stripes', and Meg's drums may have improved just ever so slightly? I dunno. I do hope the album's great, just like Elephant was. GBMS wasn't all that great to be fair, cept for My Doorbell which was my favourite White Stripes song until now!

I just hope the tickets are a reasonable enough price so that anyone who may wish to go, can go - it would be kind of sad if only government employees could afford it.That would suck. :( Wasn't Coldplay caused a problem selling concert ticket in South America, as same price as North America? It was something like, two month salary for the regular citizens. They say the band doesn't decide the price --- I hope whoever set it, will be aware of the 'proper' price.

Canadian

13-05-2007, 01:00 AM

That's awesome that they're going to Iqaluit to play a show. I'm not a fan of their music at all, but that is an incredibly great gesture on their part.

I just hope the tickets are a reasonable enough price so that anyone who may wish to go, can go - it would be kind of sad if only government employees could afford it.

Yeah, I told someone about it at my work because I couldn't believe it. They asked if it was a free show. I'm sure they wouldn't charge a lot. At least I hope not.

Their Canadian tour is so extensive. I'm sure a lot of people are happy that they are going to all these cities though. Most bands only play the obvious Canadian cities like Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto.

The current population is just over 6,000.

Her excuse was rather stupid, but honestly, I don't think it ruined the music industry. Musicians makes more money from their goods than CDs, because record companies take most of the profit. I've never bought White Stripes albums, but I have all the mp3s, listen to them all the time, and pay to see their concerts, buy t-shirts, etc. What's the problem ...

Personally, I don't know how much I appreciate I'm able to download music, because I got to know so many songs I wouldn't have listened if I had to buy.

Oh my. :LOL: Butbut, I was just soo excited.
Her excuse was rather stupid, but honestly, I don't think it ruined the music industry. Musicians makes more money from their goods than CDs, because record companies take most of the profit. I've never bought White Stripes albums, but I have all the mp3s, listen to them all the time, and pay to see their concerts, buy t-shirts, etc. What's the problem ...

Personally, I don't know how much I appreciate I'm able to download music, because I got to know so many songs I wouldn't have listened if I had to buy.

it's the record companies who pay for the records to be made, which you heard and then decided to buy the merch and go to the shows....
hopefully soon the necessity for a record company to fund decent quality records and to sell them will be a thing of the past, but at the mo....

i don't think it's ruining the music industry, it's just it's become out of date, but people have to appreciate that they take more than they give and record companies aren't necessarily evil, for them to support their bands and look for new ones.... they like everyone in the music industry, require money to do so.
