Um. Ask limewire?

Fun Jack White fact - he used to be an upholsterer. He secreted 45's of his music inside some of his customer's furniture.



talk about lowering the value of the furniture, i'd ask for my money back...

"It all comes down to opinion"... true-story!

Did you check out the 'Jolene' cover? Their non-linear, bluesy cover vs. Dolly's lock-step original is maybe a good example of whats cool about Meg and Jack White's stuttery drums-guitar-vocals minimalism.

I play the drums, and have in the last 4 or 5 years really learned an appreciation for drummer-as-compliment to the tone of the rest of the band. This is opposed to where my first love of the drums came from (metal and funk music, where the drums are very often the star).

I was thinking about this a week ago listening to an Interpol album. Their drummer is great, and has some interesting and difficult stuff, but never seems showy or draws much attention to himself.

(No worries about being too surly, we're all defensive about the music we like. )

I understand the premise of the White Stripes, but I feel as though there are just so many better bands (to me) in the same general sound area, mainly the originals. Jack has some pretty good guitaring skills, there's no denying his ability to write catchy riffs. I personally don't enjoy his voice, and the overly simple drumming just makes it even harder for me to enjoy them. I'm not a drummer myself, but even the least skilled drummers I know of in the bands that I listen to have far more variety of style and a higher skill level than she does. I didn't really mean to say that she needed to be "professional," just that the lack of variety in the rhythm drags down the song, in my opinion.

It all comes down to opinion, in the end, really. Musical quality is entirely subjective and is based only off of how much the individual listener enjoys it.

Oh, by the way, I did watch the entire clip, I just didn't enjoy it quite enough for an upvote.

oh, and I also addressed the "Meg sucks/I can play drums better!" comments directly on an old post, http://www.videosift.com/video/White-Stripes-Jolene-Dolly-Parton-cover-live-on-Conan
