The White Stripes appreciation thread

[Superhobo]

As the title says, come in here and appreciate the White Stripes. You know, your favorite song, what you own, the works. As for me, before coming in, a topic about Homosexuality caught my eye. I'm gonna go see what's up.

Some of my favorite songs, though, are "Blue Orchid," and "Seven Nation Army"(and the Flaming Lips cover thereof). I also have a really odd fondness for "My Doorbell." I don't know, maybe it's seeing that little kid do the hop on stage in suspenders. Eh.

[JLBats]

I'd say I'm a fan, but I don't actually own any of their cds, so whatever.

[Superhobo]

I only own one; I pirate the rest. Don't feel too bad.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I only own one; I pirate the rest. Don't feel too bad.If I was Jack White I'd chop yer hands off.

[guitarsingerguy]

Truth be told.....I can't really stand them.

[Superhobo]

Why's that?

BTW, Wilhelm, I'll be buying them all anyway when the Box Set comes out at the end of the year. So, meh!

[FooYu]

I own the "Get behind me Satan" album. Some of my favourite songs are "forever for her (is over for me)" , "Blue orchid", "instinct blues" and "denial twist":up:

Eh, their sound just does nothing for me. I don't know of a better way to explain then that.

It's...stupid.

It's...stupid.Do you like anything?

[Hades]

Do you like anything?
You know it's funny...i get asked that alot.

[Superhobo]

That should tell you something, you know.

[Hades]

That should tell you something, you know.
Like what?
i'm thinking it should tell me to make you shut up and rub my feet.

why even post here, then? it says "white stripes APPRECIATION". when you see that in the title, why even click on it, if you don't like them?

[Hades]

Because i love you?

[PhotoJones]

so you're a troll, then, huh?

[Superhobo]

I want to get you two together in a mud-wrestling contest. I don't know why; it just popped up.

no.

[JLBats]

This thread reminds me why the Hype is the bastard child of Satan, produced in a homosexual affair with Hades.

Hades the mythological figure, not the poster.

[Darthphere]

This thread doesnt have to do with Area 51?:confused:

[DBella]

Truth be told.....I can't really stand them.
*high fives*

[Superhobo]

You suck.


Plain and flat.

[JLBats]

I'm listening to Forever For Her right now.

It's not a bad song.

[The Chairman]

I've never really heard any of their stuff, but I'm strongly considering getting into them. Their music is supposed to be heabily inspired by the great classic rock bands like Zeppelin and e Who that I love ever so dearly.

[Darthphere]

Its not a good one either.:(

[JLBats]

Meh, it sort of reminds me of a poor man's Led Zeppelin. I like it.

[Hades]

The white Stripes look like hobos....

[Raiden]

RIP White Stripes, but I guess the writing was on the walls when they had to cancel tours last year. Seven Nation Army remains one of my favorite songs to this day.

[PyroChamber]

Well, we know that Jack will still continue to make music but I wonder if Meg will to?

[Motown Marvel]

ha, i can assure you meg will be entirely content keeping a low profile and sinking into anonymity.

[LegendaryCaleb]

I just died a lil inside. I'm so sad.

[Mr.Webs]

Sonuva*****!:cmad: Never got to see 'em live.

But I'm happy that they are happy with the decision. Good for everyone involved.

[LegendaryCaleb]

I just dont know what to do with myself...
I never got to see them live...I never had the money. :(

[Alien1495]

Wha...?
Gah, why must good things come to an end? :csad:
But, at the very least, I understand their reasoning. This is a good thing they're doing.

[Raiden]

I just dont know what to do with myself...
I never got to see them live...I never had the money. :(

I'm sure they'll have a concert DVD in the future.

[Motown Marvel]

^^they have 2 concert dvd's already. under blackpool lights was the first. then there was a box set that came out that included a dvd of their 10th anniversary show.

i was lucky to see the band perform many times. i saw them evolve from dive bars to big arenas. and every show was absolutely electrifying, almost religious in its praise to the rock gods. they are both great people, always a pleasure to see, and have an immense amount of passion and appreciation for music.

[LegendaryCaleb]

i got a dvd of them live playing in houston in 01 and under great white northern lights...and have seen blackpool lights but i wish i could have gotten to see them live

so jealous of you motown marvel.

[Rain Dog]

I respect them trying to preserve their artistic integrity and all but this is a real downer for me. I've always wanted to see them live :csad:

[LegendaryCaleb]

heres a classic

i thought why not start posting what the white stripes were all about......good music!

[darkseid26]

Sad day now.

[LegendaryCaleb]

i havent been this shocked since ledger...sad day indeed.

[Motown Marvel]

this was always my favorite video of them...

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xplo6_the-white-stripes_music

[LegendaryCaleb]

holy cow...ive been looking for that video...i used to have it on my computer...im with you 100%
best vid ever.

[bored]

Bummer, since I was hoping they'd play again sometime.

[Max J Power]

I haven't been this bummed about a band breakup in a long time, or maybe ever. They were in my top 3 alternative bands. And that's what I listen to most nowadays.

[Superman2007]

Amazing band. Shame to see their journey end. I'm sure they have their reasons.
Hopefully they'll reunite at some point down the road:

This is my favorite White Stripes performance:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t1_ETuWIbE

[LegendaryCaleb]

that is another great performance! i also dig the grammy performance of death letter
tarantinos reaction was so awesome lol

[Superman2007]

that is another great performance! i also dig the grammy performance of death letter
tarantinos reaction was so awesome lol

Yup, that's the first time I was introduced to Death Letter.

That performance was incredible because it was almost like they were taking the mainstream to a higher level of musical excellence. It's like they gave the masses their mainstream hit(Seven Nation Army) and then the lesser known "Death Letter" ripped into the song and kicked everything into over-drive. The audience didn't know what hit them but they knew they loved it.

For those who haven't seen the grammy performance:

You're welcome.

[Motown Marvel]

yeah that grammy performance was another great one. i love how enthusiastic tarantino responded to it. i was certain his next movie would feature one of their tracks.

[LegendaryCaleb]

thanks for posting that! it is absolutely epic!
ehh...day 2 and im still depressed.

[newwaveboy87]

I agree 1000000+%

I remember being in high school when the video for "Fell in Love With a Girl" hit. Every album since that one I rushed out and bought on like the day it came out. I love them so much!
