Nothing wrong with going out on top.
They helped put Detroit back on the map musically.
Thank you.

Kid Rock & Eminem put DETROIT back on the map.
White Stripes came later in their RED & WHITE NAZI SUITS !
Ripping off BLIND WILLIE MCTELL & SONHOUSE
They made a few decent records.
Jack Whites ROBERT PLANT mimicry made us pine for LED ZEPPELIN
but the last 2 of their records were largely forgettable.
going out on TOP?
I think yer romanticizing again.
There is NOTHING romantic about DETROIT !

MEG WHITE had her NERVOUS BREAKDOWN at the right time.
She has always been the genius.
Without her he has shot himself in the foot time and time again.
Good riddance.
They can always reform in 20 years and play some shows if they develope coccaine habits
and burn through their fortunes...
I admire their ability to realize they have noone left to rip off.
I cannot really sit through their records.
I dont think the future will be that kind to their work.
They were a cute novelty act like most Detroit bands
A joke really.
See ICP, KID ROCK, EMINEM, WHITE STRIPES fucking all CARTOONS .

I didn't call you either Dave.
"Opinions are like assholes....everyone has one".

ICP? Really? I guess I can thank them for two things, having their Gathering Of The Juggalos in Ohio. Because the scum always settles at the bottom. And fpor keeping Faygo in business.

Relative to those who would post here, The White Stripes did put Detroit back on the map. For 20 seconds every Detroit garage rock band got looked at or signed. This was all in the wake of The White Stripes. Fact.

Fucking you posted the thread SPZ !
Garage Bands?
Fucking they never played in a garage.
?
I dont give a shit.
I aint sentimental like you about them.
I havent lived in Detroit in 11 years.
And when I lived there I saw it fer what it was...
a shithole.
I cant think of 1 thing they did positive fer music or Detroit
Except he beat the shit out of Stollstemeister from VON BONDIES
fucking effectively ruining their career . MARCIE is one of my favs in
DETOILET and fer that he can fuck off !
I saw him playing drums on JIMMY KIMMEL with DEAD WEATHER
was front row. Nice to see him but ya know what.
They were on TOP about 10 years ago.
wake up ! nobody else on here talks about their town like you do,
NOBODY gives a fuck about DETROIT !
Should be blown off the map.

I never was too impressed by the White Stripes, particularly their last couple of singles, but the Raconteurs live show I saw in 2006 or 2007 was one of the best I've ever seen.

I'm not a true believer, and I did find their imagery a little offputting, but I wouldn't dismiss them either. I'd be surprised if we didn't see a reunion in a number of years, though.

Whats up - have they called it a day?

That's a shame. I really enjoyed their last album - best bagpipes meets heavy guitar record ever! - and was looking forward to the next one. I think they got better with every record. Plus the live show I seen back in 2002 on The Green was excellent...

Bought the Wanda Jackson disc just for her and Jack doing 'Thunder on The Mountain' - superb.

Not so taken by the numerous side-projects although they have their moments. Maybe Jack will do a solo record now. The guy is a fucking guitar magus... :D

Not going there Dave. I am happy with my life choices as well. Yes, I am a great defender of Detroit. Because it(used to) take such a beating in the media. I love living here. Even in the winter.
Truth be told I own 3 White Stripes records. I am not that huge a fan. But they did play a big part in putting Detroit back on the map. They even influnced Jason on Amazing Grace. Using all analog equipment and giving it a more raw feel. So yeah, it belongs on the Spiritualized message board.
With "mates" like you(as you claim to be w/Meg & Jack) who needs enemies?
You are welcome to Richard Ashcroft.

Well I`ll miss them ,not surprised really by the news but was hoping for mybe one more album , but they had a good run saw a Raconteurs show and it kicked ass but wasn`t to taken by the the last album ,and havem
n`t bothered with the dead weather ,listening to Icky Thump and it has some great trax 300 MPH Outpour Blues ,song! stands up to any earlier stuff,

wonder if Meg felt grateful that her "nervous breakdown" timed its self so perfectly?.. probably not, some f8ckin` people eh??

I was lucky enough to see The White Stripes in small venues twice: 9:30 Club in DC and Empty Bottle here in Chicago, both in support of White Blood Cells. They tore the roof off of both places. I'm glad I was able to see those shows. I briefly met Jack White at Empty Bottle when my band opened for the Greenhornes and he seemed nice enough. He bought one of our 7-inches on the way out the door. The way I see it, he has done a lot of positive things for the music industry during a time when everyone else seems to be content to let the nails plow into the coffin. I'm sure there is plenty of dirt on the guy, but I am not going to go looking for it.

Sorry Muscles but anyone who champions Eminem - one of THE most overrated acts in music history - as a genuinely great artist makes me wonder about whether their view is worth listening to. And then Richard Ashcrot too? Man alive.

Let's not group Richard Ashcroft with Eminem. Regardless of what you think of his personal behavior, the man's written some fantastic songs and is still one of the best singers in rock.

but IAN BROWN wanted fucking schools in ENGLAND to have EMINEM CLASS
...i aint the only one who recognizes SLIM SHADYS genius.
but...INSANE CLOWN POSSE were really the ones that EMINEM sort of studied.

Michael Segal ! the best Jewish guitarist/cartoonist that ever lived !
Fucking Love 15 comes out. Fucking company goes down the tubes.
Come back to Detroit from Europe dude has like an inch of dust on his guitar.
Shame really?
Kid Rock moved to Nashville.
I read it in Billboard Magazine
Dave Segal and I have been in touch.
Writes fer the Seattle Weekly now.
Still a cunt. Still a smart ass.
His liner notes were a bit much
Pointless jabs at me.
Narrowminded bitterness.
Best of is a piece of trash
And now I have to deal with SONY ENTERTAINMENT
because Scrock licensed his bullshit through RED Sonys fucking distribution arm.
So if I make a fucking video and you see that SONY shit that is why !
Fucking annoying cunts all of them.
Unoriginal talentless hacks.

best is to get these on 45's.
i think what puts them apart
are the LIVE performances.
Jack does have a pretty good command of that guitar
I give him that.
The lyrics are sort of shit sometimes ...
but his guitar.
he's on it

Eminem is allright.
I met him once.
And sort of befriended him on twitter a few years back.
Just get ripped and say crazy shit.
Which he loves.
If you listen to one of his records from last year.
He says something about MUSCLES.
i kid you not.
its funny.
when Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rihanna
like 4 years back.
he sent a picture of RIHANNA with a black eye on myspace.
he is sort of a snotty little jerk ta be honest
but a comedy king like most of these people
we have nothing in detroit so you either make jokes
or go insane
most of these do both
in any event i tagged a picture of Rihanna to like 3 million of his fans !
lol.
and he wrote back ! how was he gonna explain this to his fans !
he is cunt. but a fucking funny cunt and he takes care of his daughter
i respect the guy.
he wanted to retire but then his mate shot a guy in a bar and got shot to death
lol.
think it lit a fire under his ass to come back,
3AM is pretty good ! the video.
i think hes out there
and i like fuckers that take it over the edge.
Ashcroft I cannot explain his level of shitness but i hope he gets better.

i always thought the WS were over rated, but they did have a positive effect for the detroit music scene, which was good

i suspect most "so-called" garage band have never actually played in a garage!

when did you play with ashcroft?

Mate I grew up sort of in awe of THE JACKSON 5
ya know.
I was born 66
Jackson 5 were it.
Cartoons #1 songs ! ya name it.
then i met Diana Ross at 12
fucking dad made decent money
we moved into a neighborhood
where Dianas sister a DR.
fucking moved
Diana bought a house fer her mom
there.
so i fucking grew up with music
my dad had thousands of vinyls !
Ashcroft well we were putting out
our own 45s and CDs and radio
were playin them
we got on the cover of a national mag
and some attention then NEW YORK
came calling ya know.
so we signed up $100,000 quid
after a few months the dude from
the marriot hotel fortune said fuck it
Kyuss were our label mates
Electra picked them up
dropped the rest of us
but i met VERVE then
smoked alot of weed with ASHCROFT
fer 4 or 5 days in NYC 1992
then we sent them some records
they were on it
invited us to play east coast america
good fun
some cunt almost broke my arm
removing me from an elevator
that dick & kate were in
and when i called the hotel
to fucking tell them i was pressing charges
the manager told me ashcroft was telling stories
bout me
so i said fuck it
but they almost broke my arm

but back ta the stripes
im on tequila now
pep boys still have not called with xjs
so fuck it til tomm
but one thing JACK WHITE gets right
is you must be a cunt
you must think everyone else is complete shit
and the world revolves around you
he believed it fer a few years
but after the fight
he lost it
MEG knew it
I knew it
HE knew it
but...i think his work ethic is unequalled
i think he works hard on his guitar skills
i think his heart is in the right place like ashcroft says
and i love Jack White to be honest
i think anyone that knows me knows i love all things detroit
lol
but ya have ta beat these people to get them to respond
ya know
we were in the van
so many of these punk rock people that we followed
like the laughing hyenas that cobain followed
were doing things over seas ya know
that was the dream in detroit
ta get out

Who said Worst Thread ever???

So far: 90% "Muscles - The Rock N' Roll Years", 1% Detroit, 9% Spleen...

Jack White is some kind of all-round genius, again - a total MAGUS on guitar, also imaginitive producer, drummer...etc.

Like the Wanda Jackson record I mention above, as soon as the guitar solo kicks in you know it's him - those weird, almost tremelo'd notes.

...did you see his Mofo mag tribute to Don Van Vilet?

Plus, he always looks fucking cool...


Ashcroft on the other hand is a witless fool who is absurdly, comically overated.
He's not even the best singer in Wigan... :wink:

What an odd thread...but I agree with Spzretent. The Stripes definitely put Detroit rock back on the map.

Like TheWarmth, I too saw them early in their career. In fact, I think it was their first ever London gig at the 100 Club just before or just after "White Blood Cells" was released. Hot summer day in July 2001(?)...I read a good write up about them in Time Out magazine and went down to the Club. It was sold out but I resisted buying tickets too early from the touts and just before they were about to take the stage the scalpers lowered their prices to face value. Score! Hottest night of the summer and at the time the 100 Club had no air-con in that tiny basement. So, so hot down there and difficult to breathe but man, the Stripes were fucking killer! It was one of those gigs where you felt like you were witnessing something truly special! Absolutely blew me away. That said, I stopped buying their albums after 'Elephant'. I also don't own anything from Raconteurs or The Dead Weather.

My ten year old son quite likes the Stripes. 8)

Best rock singer in the UK. Awfully spotty when it comes to the solo career but always good for a number of gems. And, at this point, he's terribly underrated by most.

f8ck sake Bza ,thats hilarious coming from someone who can`t see/or refuse`s to see how much a comical arse Gillespie is ,him and Ashcroft are like f8ckin twins ,a pair of f8ckin fake rock n` roll fannies,
theyso want to be taken seriously,

ask the cu$t about Bomb The Pentagon ,and all you get is a load of sweep it under the carpet back pedalling ,I saw the Scream in 97/98 2 or 3 times and they would always blast out the Pistols before they came on looking for rock n roll by osmosis ,can`t see the Pistols changing the name of any song because somebody looked at them side ways ,unlike Gillespie and the Scream ,I still like their music but the guy`s an arse ,no doubt pissing around with his big smoke media pals and still claiming to be a socialist ,much more of a prick than Ashcroft IMO :)

I have to admit that I never really got the White Stripes despite owning several of their albums, and seeing them play them live a few times. I enjoyed it all in a kind of superficial way, but could not really see what all the excitement was about. Having said all this, it is a bit of a pity they have packed in as they were clearly trying to do something new and different.

A statement on their website said: "The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."

That's a cool way to finish the whole thing off. Brief and to the point, just like very few of the previous posts on this thread...

Fucking hell man! :?

(surely the ultimate example of "rock n roll by osmosis" was the walking abortion that was Simon Ritchie? Presumably you also think it was "rock n roll" to name a song 'Belsen Was A Gas'?)

And Ashcroft still sux, true believers! :lol:

Anyway!
R.I.P. The Stripes.

I take the point about Sid, but what I think about calling a song Belsen Was A Gas is irrelevant ,the point is they thought it was okay and weren`t about to change it coz some people had an attack of the vapours over it being gratutitously offensive,unlike Bobby G. and his cronies ,

anyway ,Ashcroft and Gillespie, two peas in a pod,

I`m of to listen to Under Great White Northern Lights which I bought yesterday.
