TeleCarlos Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I like the White Stripes! I sense a bit off disgust by some people towards them and that's OK. I respect everyone's likes and dislikes. This just in: 80's Hard Rock / Heavy Metal / Shredfest / Cockgrabbing music IS NOT GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK! NOT GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK! I was also once subscribed to Guitar World, I know how most of those guys prefered being a guitar hero than write songs. I'm over it. Music is much more than that. Jack knows it. I know it. Almost everybody in the forum knows it. I can almost see Jack, giving everybody the finger to all the naysayers thru his "simple songs" and don't care attitude. 15 minutes, probably, which is way more than any of us will ever get. So let's all sit back and enjoy. It is a wonderful ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliengroover Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Yeah, I like the "Wizzy Strizzies", too. No frills, no fluff. Straight forward music, not so-canned lyrics.. On a side note, he really beat the bejeezus out of that guy from the Von Bondies. That says to me that either he's the stereotypical rock star, or he's trying to be. All over production... Peace If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking 'til you do suck seed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanmass Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I think many people are just pissed because they MADE IT, got on the damn grammys and play garage band rock... The comment about pro tools to death...man is that true... I'm sorry, but ther is so much lo energy, BS music out these day, refreshing is the word for White Stripes. Jack uses his voice in many ways. His slower tunes ( I can tell that we are gonna be friends, etc.) I do get White Stripes, and that makes me happy...

I don't hate garage band rock at all. Plenty of it here in Jersey. I'm fairly sure that's how Bruce Springsteen started out. I've also been known to give things a second chance. Really. Originally posted by pumpcat: Considering that they've already released four albums (plus a singles collection), and that the "buzz" has lasted for three years so far, You might want to start figuring out the difference between your salad fork and word fork.Thanks for correcting me, but my forks are okay. To be fair, I didn't have the slightest idea about the White Stripes' history. Originally posted by TeleCarlos This just in: 80's Hard Rock / Heavy Metal / Shredfest / Cockgrabbing music IS NOT GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK! NOT GONNA MAKE A COMEBACK!I do recall some teenagers playing some shred style tunes while I was testing a gorgeous Epi Les Paul the other day. This was at the Guitar Center in Manhattan, NYC. Chillingly accurate runs, too. I'm not waiting for a comeback, nor do I have to. There are some fine metal groups around today that somewhat have the 80's sound, but manage to put more oomph in the music. Nightwish is among them in my book. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyRubberDuck Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 C'mon - we should all know by now that instrumental ability has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how good your music sounds. Even the beatles weren't that great players, especially in the beginning. Th White Stripes popularity was kind of a backlash from the over-produced pop music scene, and that wife/sister-husband/brother scandal didn't hurt either. I thought they were kinda cool at first, like many people did, but after listening to their first CD a few times, I decided they were more style than substance. But for whatever reason, they're now big rock stars, going around punching out innocent people in bars just for kicks . . . DRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRDApparently, my singer knows the guy who got socked in the face by Jack White. She works in the music biz, and says that a lot of people are really down on Jack White because he's apparently a giant-sized prick. Dunno, but that's always a shame (if true).
