assassin_696 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I haven't seen this band mentioned much around here, but i'm a big fan and they're rapidly becoming one of my favourite bands. Went to see them last night at the O2 Wireless Festival, and oh my god, they were good, unbelievably good live so raw and powerful it was amazing. I was pretty close to the stage and we were all pretty knackered from the Queens of the Stone Age, but people were still going crazy for most of their stuff. In the Seven Nation Army chorus everyone was jumping up and down in time it was amazing. But anyway, enough of that, their new album is out on Monday: Icky Thump and from what i've heard of it so far it's awesome. Anybody else into this Detroit rock duo?

I had planned to go but then my parents pulled my permission. My mates had a great time too :( Anyway I love the White Stripes, especially The Hardest Button to Button and Seven Nation Army. Awesome band. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I usually go off any band that Radio 1 plugs for a month. A solid month. But not so much the Stripes. Get behind me Satan and My Doorbell are two of my faves. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punc Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 They are a very good band, they create very good songs (Seven Natio Army, Get Behind me Satan), but can also take excisting songs to a whole new level (see Hardest button and Jolene). It's amazing what they can bring with being only a 2 man (and woman) band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intriguing Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 i like jolene and we are going to be friends. they're a pretty good band. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I've been into the Whites Stripes for a while now. Jack White is an amazing guitarist and his style of playing is so non-mainstream that it's sweet. The way he adds the blues style into some of his riffs is my favorite. :thumbsup: I got their self-titled album, Elephant, and Get Behind Me Satan. Listened to Icky Thump. Didn't like it very much. I will probably still get the cd though. Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i123i Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm a huge hip hop fan and usually I don't listen to rock that much but when I heard Icky Thump on MTV I was like woah woah woah -loads up the internet*cough**cough*- :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How2PK Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 Had the album at work yesterday, but forgot to play it. Gave it a spin today, and it sounded pretty damn cool again. Need to listen to it at home to get a decent word about it though. But first impression was good. :) Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

WutangFlu Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Got it a few days ago, and I love it. Its not like any of their old stuff but its still very very good. It has a lot of Spanish influence in the sound and many lovely blues riffs you'd come to exepect from Jack. I told one of my friends yesterday I could see them going into the hall of fame some day. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocacolabottle Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Love the Icky Thump track, has some weird guitar progressions in it, but definitely like it. Will most likely buy the album. 99 Slayer since August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zurria Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Their songs have a nice beat, but I can't stand the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
