1) What kind of "rock" band has no bass player?
2) Yeah...Jack and Meg do actually kind of suck...and this is good?
It actually REALLY limits the dynamics of their sound. Every song
sounds the same after awhile...like pots and pans...and a recipe
for a big ass headache! Any 12 year old-can bang on shit and ROCK
...that doesn't make it "good"!

Just a pidldy opinon of someonw who thinks this band is more
over-rated than Radiohead.

Subject: revisiting the White Stripes

I have recently been revisiting my White Stripes cds ( all four of them)
lately.  The reason for this is that I have read a recent interview with
Iggy (done by Jack White) that really shows that there is mutual respect.
If Iggy likes them, can they be bad? In addition, a recent article on Jeff
Beck states that Jeff is also very taken by the Stripes.  I wonder what
Wayne Kramer thinks?

Anway, having heard all Stripes recently (including the Stooges cds) I came
to one conclusion - They rock!..it is raw, it is rough and it is pure
rock'n'roll.  Listening to the Stripes has also made get the Back from the
Grave cds out and the first few Cramps cds..all these cds have that raw
energy about them..

Can Meg play drums?..is Jack a good guitar player?..who cares..it is Rock
and Roll..

Note..I have not taken out my vinyl copy of the Jeff Beck "Wired' so you
know I am not getting carried away!

NP:  Thin Lizzy "Live and Dangerous" - is there a better combination of
guitarists for Lizzy than Gorham/Robertson?

freakin Gorham...what a sound!
