Tell me about The White Stripes....
 

Why must the stripes be WHITE??? Why can't they be black?

Are they racist ? :ak47:

the hardest button to button.. uh oh.

They suck...nuff said

Overrated.

I like them, I was never really into that kind of rock when it was popular.. But for some reason I like them. good band IMO they have several old records aswell.

saw them on EMA today - wasn't impressed at all.

I think they've only ever had that one fuckin' song. Seven army thing.
It's all you hear from them, must be nearly a year too...

:mad:

White is the last name of the girl in the band

both their last names are white, they were married, but they had a facade on for a while that they were brother and sister, hes a kick ass guitarist and shes a flippin wierdo...jack and meg white i believe

Actually, it is her name and he adopted it. His name is John Anthony Gillis .

hmm, thats cool, don't usually see the guy taking the girls name

their music decent

One hit wonder. They are already fading away.

White Stripes are awesome, they aren't a one hit, because this is their fourth record, he is indeed an amazing blues rock guitarist and she's a very talanted minimalist drummer, saw them live and they don't fuck around.

agreed not a one hit wonder... they have a pretty big fan base, this band has been around awhile... just because MTV just found them about 6 months ago dosn't mean they are new.


btw this is from one of their older albums

wrong. The album before this one had a few other songs that both charted in the UK and got played and played. Most noteable Fell In Love Wth A Girl which had the video made of Legos that was used in just about every BBC promo at the time. Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground also did well in the charts. Also, they have a newwer song here with Kate Moss in the video, I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself which has also charted and is also on just about every BBC promo.

I don't know if you follow the indie side of music in the UK but they have been a hit for few years now...way before this album they were the new darlings.

is she racist ?

because there is already an actor/singer called Jack Black?

They are very niche and getting publicity outside their niche and so now people like me have an opinion that they SUCK... because we're not interested in their niche.

And they are both ugly.

fact: most of the best bands in time have been ugly bands

Weird. I thought Hotel Yorba was a hit. Maybe you didnt catch that one on MTV.

One hit wonder my ass. :1orglaugh
