I was never a fan anyway, so I have to say that my attitude toward this is one of indifference. On the other hand, I never really had anything against the White Stripes, either. I didn't much like their music, but didn't see anything particularly wrong with what they were trying to do.

Sad. I LOVE 'em!! Got all their cds. Except their first one-couldn't stand it so goot rid of it.
The rest are BRILLIANT!!!!!

Jack will Rock On! Not sure about Meg. I'd try her in my band TigerShark but she probly couldn't play good enuf.

I just recently got turned on to The Dead Weather-the band Jack plays drums in:

THAT's some KILLER drumming! Meg will NEVER be able to play like that.
The Raconteurs are ok with a "full band sound" (bass an' all) but don't thrill me so much.
Why did the White Stripes thrill us so much? Mostly just vocal, guitar & drums!!! Minimalism.
Shouldn't really have been successful without a good bassplayer, right?
The reason they ROCKED:
Damn good songs!!!!! & tho Meg ain't a great drummer she's cooool (& has big tits!!)

Best wishes to Meg & Jack!!
Jack is also working on this project that Norah Jones is involved in--ROME:

I liked the White Stripes or I should better say I found them entertaining, but the concept obviously had a "best used before"-tag to it.

And all their bassplayers were underrated.

Jack found better outlets for his talent long ago. The only surprise is that he didn't dissolve the partnership before now.

Where's the "like" button when we need it?

There are a couple of things I liked about Meg.

Tragic.

Jack's other stuff is SO much better.

The only interesting about them is Meg's tits, their music makes me sleepy! Yawn!

uwe · February 03, 2011, 01:10:53 AM

True, only her drumming was a little flat.

nofi · February 03, 2011, 07:46:32 AM

I think her drumming is kinda bouncy.

Nocturnal · February 03, 2011, 10:45:05 AM

I liked some of the W.S. stuff, but I had to be in the mood to listen to it. I do like Dead Weather (even tho it's unusual) and the Raconteurs. I saw the Stripes live and I can confirm that Meg's playing was quite bouncy

FWIW, I enjoyed watching "It Might Get Loud".
