The White Stripes
 

Who else here likes these guys?
At first I was iffy on them... but now I am totally hooked. They are clean and simple. Kinda like how rock and roll should be if you dig that type of music.

I never did like them.

i generally keep all their albums on a continuous shuffle in winamp.
never gets old.

yeah, it's not for everyone that's for sure. good clean rock and roll though ;)

yeah, same here. I have all their albums in shuffle too. I'm listeing to the new album... "Get Behind Me Satin" Blue Orchid, The Denial Twist, Take Take Take are the three songs I have been jamming for the last few days...

I was also just turned onto a pretty funny song by the "Dead Milkmen" Bitchen Camaro.. It's pretty sweet. It's 80's punk, It is funny as hell :) Thanks E

1 thing is for sure, the drummer is ugly :upsidedow

I like them, "My Doorbell" is a fun song

Check out "Punk Rock Girl" by the Dead Milkmen... good shiz

:thumbsup Good stuff!!!

Their music is total crap.

I only have a couple of their songs, but the ones I do have I like.

Sweet. I'll check that one out too ;) Thanks for the tip.

Yep! That's a good one too :D

Good music for sure.

I thought for a second here that you were asking about the "CREST WHITE STRIPES" ahahahaha...oops! :)

lmfao! Well... Those are good too! But for some reason, when I put them on one of my front teeth starts hurting... That means I have to go to the dentist and get it done ;(

White Stripes - Crest White Strips, It's all the same ;)

Fucking hate them !!


That doorbell song gets played all the time on the radio here, does my head in... :disgust

I am in lust with Jack White. Not sure if that counts or not.

I like much of the stuff on their albums but can't listen to much of their live stuff.

I've liked most of their last three albums but im not into them as much as i should be... Only own one of their CD's instead of their whole discography...

Never cared for the much till I sen them live. Fuck they are good live.

Yah, The White Vine Stripe Jet Killers were never my type of band.

except jet and the vines suck. Whereas the white stripes are actually good and don't need to steal iggy pop basslines and ACDC riffs to write good songs.. And aren't the killers WAY more new wave?

Seriously.

When I heard that Jet song, I was like no fucking way. They jacked Lust for Life in a most blatant way. Disgusting.

Fuck yeah.. if they got out of paying royalties they need to be shot. The first time i heard the start of it I thought "hey someone's covering lust really badly" then the words kicked in... incredibly audacious. And a cheap way of writing. This is the best review i've read on them:

Jet
Get Born
[Elektra; 2003]
Rating: 3.7

"Jet! You're finally here! Nice to meet you; I'm Vali, I run the venue. Jesus, guys, I wasn't sure you were gonna show up tonight."

"Sorry, man. You know, bitches."

"Nice. But listen: You guys got a job to do now. We got a packed house, like, 50,000 shitfaced Americans out there and upwards of five Belgian exchange students, all of them dying for a fresh take on the old-school rock 'n' roll. You Aussie sons of bitches think you can handle that? I mean not that I'm worried, I have complete faith in you guys. Just go out there and give them what they want."

"Wait, man, are you telling us what to do? Fuck you, we're Jet! Wherever we play people sleep with us."

"That's great, but the crowd's getting anxious. You gotta get out there and play 'Last Chance'. People will love the shit out of that one."

"Hey, all you American motherfuckers, we're Jet! Here's a song that sounds like AC/DC, a band you love."

"What the? They're booing?! Guys, quick, get back over here. We gotta rethink our strategy."

"Man, American crowds are fucked up. Everybody loves AC/DC. That song is practically an AC/DC song."

"Guys, guys, don't worry about it, the crowd just needs to get warmed up. Go out there and do your big hit, 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. Seriously, the crowd is gonna eat this shit up. We got all the AV effects you wanted: Right now we got event security bringing out thirty fuckin' angry alligators with top hats on, Iggy Pop's gonna shoot out of that cannon, and midway through we're gonna send in the kid from the iPod commercial. Still working on the Oxycontin, though, sorry."

"Man, that's bullshit!"

"Listen, Vali, those alligators better be angry."

"Yeah, and no beret shit, either. The alligators want top hats."

"Fine, okay, done. Look, the crowd wants you back, just get back out there. Everything's all set. This time, the shit's gonna rock."

"Hey assholes, it's us again, Jet! Here's the song you came to hear, a shameless rip-off of 'Lust for Life' by Iggy Pop, who is here with us tonight in this cannon."

"'Fuck Jet!'"? Is that what the kids are screaming? Woof! Guys, get back here!"

"I cannot fucking believe this! Don't these people know who Iggy Pop is?!"

"Guys, I don't know what to tell you. I think you need to do some ballads. The crowd wants to hear some ballads. You got anything that sounds like Oasis, The Wallflowers, Bon Jovi?"

"Fuck you, man, we have songs that sound exactly like those guys. These kids won't know the difference. Awright, motherfuckers, let's get out there and melt some hearts. Hello again, Americans! Do you like insipid love songs that sound like wedding band covers? Get ready for five of them!"

"Jet! You guys are covered in shit! What's going on out there?"

"They threw their shit at us!"

"Wow, I have never seen that happen before. I'm sorry about this, but you guys are gonna need to come up huge. Do you have anything you can do?"

"We have a couple songs that sound like the Stones."

"Perfect! Everybody loves the Stones. Just get out there and do them. Maybe throw in a song called 'Get What You Need', which theoretically would sport a pilfered Kinks' guitar riff from 'All Day and All of the Night' and a bassline kidnapped from The Temptations' 'Get Ready'. If there's one thing Americans love, it is Rock-Motown. Just go give them some Stones, which they love, then a little honky-tonk piano because that's awesome, then close with some Rock-Motown."

"Oh my god, this is terrible. Jet! Come here. Stop playing. Listen, you guys are not going over at all. I can count the people out there on one fist. You better bail out quick."

"Dude, I don't understand. We sound like everyone's favorite old rock bands, we have insipid lyrics, we say 'Come On!' and 'Oh Yeah!' every five seconds, we have no discernable identity, and we're from Australia. What could people possibly dislike about us?"

"No idea, brah. Listen, why don't you do one more song, like about how DJs aren't actually musicians and you don't get how they pull tail."

"Oh, you mean 'Rollover DJ'? The one that goes, 'You've been playing other people's songs all night,' right?"

"Yes, that is exactly the song I'm talking about."
