So is the whole White Stripes thing over, or are they ever going to do anything again?

I got bored of them quickly.

I still like them. Not as bad as the Strokes.

I like the video with the multiple drum kits, but only because of my extreme admiration of gondry. You won't catch me listening to any of their tunes

Still, a 5 or 6 year run based pretty much solely on British Tabloid hype – not bad.

How do you feel about the Raconteurs?
- The new album is the fucking bomb.TheBlueOne
- that bit on consoler of the lonely "If you're looking for an accomplice..." jack's voice is GENIUSvespa

I don't feel about The Raconteurs. They try to feel about me!

Not familiar with them.
Not that I don’t like the White Stripes. Just that White Blood Cells was their 8th album, or something and then suddenly they are the biggest band in the world after a weekend promo tour of the UK.

Well, they just released an album a year ago, "Icky Thump," that was actually pretty good. Most bands wait a couple years or more between releasing anything.

I've never been in to either of them, but I always find
Jack White a bit of a Johnny Depp wannabe- What a strange statement. How is he being a Johnny Depp wannabe?Wolfboy

I was in NY a couple of years ago and I went up to St Marks Place to photograph the building from the cover of Physical Graffiti. my wife told me after, that Jack White was sitting in front of a building across the street having a quiet giggle to himself at me.

you're all mad or being contrary for the sake of it. jack white is brilliant. he has soul.
the most recent raconteurs album is my favourite album this year.

loved the raconteurs debut album, the new one totally sucks. and the white stripes, that's definately over. but here's something to listen to: http://www.bloodredshoes.co.uk/ - blood red shoes ROCKS!
- Saw them week before last I think, at some student bar. Good set.

suck. two people isn't enough!!!

pfft you haters. They do great music. And each album is better and better. Full stop.

Ok. This sort of thing goes back to an argument I frequently have with people about music (can be related to lots of things actually).
A lot of people say a band/artist/whatever is 'shit', when what they actually mean is that 'they don't like them'.
It's often easier to condemn something as being rubbish rather than justifying your opinions. It's shit, it's crap, it's rubbish... blah blah. Just tell the truth - you don't like it, it doesn't appeal. Doesn't mean it's shit.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it's rubbish. You just don't like it, probably preferring something else.
Kinda rambled on a bit there, but I'm sure you get my point.

isnt there an issue with meg white having bad stage fright? They cancelled their last gig in glasgow because of it i think. I thought that why Jack white got into the racounteurs? I really wanted to see them too...
- Spookytim0
I agree with Raniator.
For me I really love some of White Stripe's stuff but can live without the majority of it . I'm a "Best Of" fan.
My guess would be they're all done and over now.

Last time I heard they did a sex tape
