The White Stripes are a band that have influenced many other musicians to play the same style of music as them. The White Stripes are composed of Jack White on guitar and vocals, and Meg White on drums. Many bands such as The Strokes, and The Hives share a very smiler sound as The White Stripes. I have been listening to The White Stripes for about three years now and every new song I hear is as good as the last.
Their album "De Stiji" is by far one of my favorites because it has the most raw sounding music of any White Stripes album. The songs on this album are mostly a blend of blues and punk with some rock songs thrown in hear and there. The White Stripes utilize a simple color scheme of red white and black on their clothing instruments and scenery to further expand the idea of simplicity.
Jack White has been in many other bands, some of my favorites of these are called The Upholsters and The Laughing Hyenas. Both of these groups are fairly unknown to most people but they are still excellent. They still have the same type of raw and simplistic sound as The White Stripes but are not limited to just having guitar, drums, and a vocalist. In my opinion Jack White is by far one of the best guitarists that i have ever heard, his solo's i think are a big part in what makes The White Stripes so great to hear and so entertaining to watch. Another thing that makes The White Stripes so good is how the developed guitar work by Jack White is mixed in with the simple drumming from Meg White.
The White Stripes have announced that they are releasing a film sometime next year. Also Jack White started a new band called The Dead Weather who i have yet to hear, but I am sure that there great.

ReplyDeleteI like them a ton and all, but between you and me I don't believe in The Rolling Stone's Top 100 Guitarists list. Yes, I agree with him/you? saying that The White Stripes first album was very raw and classy. I like your facts about the albums and all, but try opening up with your opinion about some, too (have some commentary at least.
