Am I the only one who hates the White Stripes?

[ZippyDan]

White Stripes are ok. some good beats in their songs. my favourite song ive heard from them is Apple Blossom. i dont know why

Can't stand them.

Meh...

I find a couple of their songs to have a good guitar rip to them but other than that, they do nothing for me.

I am thinking about trying to go see them tomorrow but I don't ahve tickets and my "go early to get tickets" thing might not work because it is such a small show.

I was listening to the radio yesterday and they said they had a list from rolling stone of the best live performances currently around. The White Stripes were number one with Radiohead second. COME ON radiohead is amazing live, I don't see how the White Stripes could compare. Also Arcade Fire was 10th, that alone makes this list bs.

Always thought Seven Nation Army was a good song.. Their other stuff I could care less for.

If you could care less then it cannot be that bad.

Never heard them, but the youtube link was pretty decent. It's definatly not like much that's out now, and had a bit of an old school feeling to it. The drummer looked like she was asleep half the time (and played like she was all the time).

I admit that I haven't heard anything but Icky Thump, but after hearing that song, they don't deserve any more exposure. God, it is awful. Horrible. It reminds me exactly of my days back in high school when everyone with an instrument formed a band and would play shows to their friends. Just a bunch of dumb no talent kids who couldn't play a Nirvana cover song without butchering it, giving a show merely because it was fun. Those kids didn't deserve a record deal, and if Icky Thump is any indication of the talent of the band, than I don't really see them as any different than the multitude of no talent garage bands that are out there.

My vote is "They suck"

Don't hate them, but they are overrated.

I think Jack White is an incredibly talented frontman and a very creative guitarist. I enjoy The White Stripes and Raconteurs quite alot and can listen to them all day long.

Something I noticed about Meg and her drumming. She is a short person, but her drum throne is up in a very high position. Most drummers sit with their upper legs mostly flat, but if you look carefully, she has a very steep angle from hip to floor.

Very odd.

Check out 4:30 to 5:00 in that Death Letter video posted above. You can see it fairly plainly.
