AD Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 to all of you who clearly have no sense of musical time yourselves (i.e. those who love meg's drumming), don't take it out on those of us who do, you are welcome to your wrong opinionyour paintbrush is very wide there. I'm looking forward to the new Metronome album, powered by the atomic clock, brought to you by cesium. Out soon on No Soul records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I never really "got" the White Stripes for some time. I have great respect for Jack White and his musical talent and being. This interview was key:and a great doc from last year "It Might Get Loud":IT MIGHT GET LOUD: Movie Trailer.

Ms Zimmy Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is this really ending on a high note when most people thought they had already broken up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Is this really ending on a high note when most people thought they had already broke up?Well, their Under The Great White Northern Lights doc is newish and both the companion live album/DVD came out last year, so it's a high enough note to end on, especially for Canuck fans.

Jaimoe Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The Stripes don't have any bad albums and Icky Thump was a great "final" studio effort. Their live album and DVD are terrific too. Whatevs. I'm looking forward to some new Dead Weather, unless they broke up too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I always thought that Meg White was a gimmick and that Jack was actually playing the drums on his guitar somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wooly Mammoth Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I never really got into TWS. but gained a huge amount of respect for Jack White after seeing It Might Get Loud. He's a direct descendant of the delta blues (as is Jimmy Page).if you haven't seen it might get loud, you should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Rather than continually trying to push Jaimoe over the edge I should add that I really dig the White Stripes but understand other's trepidation because I felt the same way at first. My big beef was the lack of bass which made their music sound empty to me but eventually the 'rawness' came through. Their residency on Conan is legendary in my eyes. If you cant back the anthem that is Seven Nation Army, which is one of the greatest songs of the 2000's in my opinion, then this band is not for you. Or was I suppose.

Jaimoe Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Hey Andre, nice description. Dig deeper into your current Muddy Waters fixation and we'll discuss further when I get to Ottawa in a few months. Raw electric blues has never been done better than by Mr. Morganfield, with all due respect to the Wolf, R.L., Junior Kimbrough and John Lee Hooker. Certainly Jack understands all of this and pulls it off better than any of his contemporaries. Edited February 4, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like to add to Jaimoe's comment, if your digging deeper into Muddy, do your self a favour and listen to some Son House & Charlie Patton, both were big influences on Muddy. I would also recommend listening to some Robert Lee McCollum (aka: Robert Nighthawk) if your a fan of the raw electric blues sound. I personally put the Nighthawk right up there with Muddy. oypAbJj-fEs off topic I know, but damn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave him a copy some 10-15 years ago. Nighthawk scares the bejesus out of me, in a good way.I'm glad you brought up those bluesmen. White loves Son House. Son House and Charlie Patton kick ass. Although he wasn't an electric Delta player, Tommy Johnson was amazing acoustic Mississippi Delta musician too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
