why is everyone totally ignoring the fact that jack is rumored to be dating RENEE ZELWEGGER; excuse me, what? i am confused and confused. --lc 07/16 |
I have three words for you love letter to the White Stripes: "Flat Duo Jets". History repeats. --mvd 06/01 |
Definitely the best article on the white stripes i´ve read. Hell, one of the best articles on a band ever. --SST 05/27 |
Gotta love the White Stripes... --ab 05/27 |
funny and true and great --RN 05/24 |
kate - don't pay attention to the haters. this was a really beautiful article. i like this nerve is doing this stuff. it's different. --cn 05/23 |
All Rock n Roll Criticism should be like this. Your passion for writing equals Meg and Jack's passion for music. --JRH 05/23 |
The White Stripes SUCK. They've always seemed like discount X wanna-bes to me. The whole brother-sister-lover-whatever act, yawn.
--ee 05/22 |
The Author is, like, so wrong. I saw the White Stripes when they were a nothingwhatever band and were touring around shitty college towns like mine a million years ago. I even MET Jack and Meg after the show- and ya know what? I wasn't impressed with them then and I sure as hell ain't impressed with them now just because they're famous. Get over it. --LG 05/22 |
And this relates to sex...how? --P 05/22 |
Hey, an article about someone who knew about a mainstream band before they were popular, and who maintains that their earlier stuff was better. This is some real groundbreaking shit! --HD 05/22 |
love dies --yza 05/22 |
Yick. Worst Nerve article in a while.
--md 05/22 |
Too bad there are no editorial standards for material written on the nerve site, so we have totally bogus material like this to read-at-a-glance, because that's how it was written. --re 05/22 |
Is there really nothing else to report than someone's lust for Jack White? I mean come on, they're an alright band and deserve some recognition for making it big...but this kind of has nothign to do with nerve. I'd like to think the article I just read had a point, like listen to the White Stripes, or hooray for the White Stripes, but it really didnt. I hope whoever wrote that article gets some kind of kick back from the record company. --RM 05/22 |
Oh...
yes...
doing it the hard way.
Y'all are right,
the White Stripes have truly
reinfuckingvented the wheel.
Albini who? --Kef 05/22 |
that they detest digital technology, and record their music the hard way...The message is this: the White Stripes will make do with next to nothing
Making a record w/ no gear made after 1962 is every band's fantasy and the ultimate luxury. Almost no band in the world could afford to do it. 'Making do with next to nothing' is using digital technology. It's cheap as hell and it sucks. --RW 05/22 |
In the last two weeks I've bought every White Stripes CD but Elephant. I liked them with reservations when all I had were a few mp3s. Now, with everything from "The White Stripes" to "White Blood Cells" I find myself loving them, purely and simply. No reservations. Meg can barely keep time. I accept that. But I love the way Jack tries to sing just behind the beat, like the legends of the delta did, while the beat itself slips and slides around Meg's drumstool. I love the way Jack attacks his guitar with a slide but always somehow comes up with something more musical than noisy. I love that Jack just wants to play blues songs and his ex-wife was the only one who'd indulge him. They're wonderful. They're ridiculous. I love them. --nrm 05/22 |
you are a great writer! --P.A 05/22 |
the way kate described that moment on stage at the mtv awards was golden. i remember watching that and thinking "what the fuck is happening here??". why don't more people write this way? --nice 05/22 |
I am Jack's complete lack of palatableness. --Vce 05/22 |
{angels singing} --Lga 05/22 |
"Fuck it, man. I don't know."
How prolific. --Ord 05/22 |
Someone please send this chick a Zevon album. --Sfo 05/22 |
Give me a fuckin' break lady. --Lax 05/22 |
WOW, that's exactly how I feel. It's frightening seeing Jack & Meg everywhere. They were so "mine" a few years back!
Let's have a ball & a biscuit,
Joe M500 --m500 05/22 |
What an absolutely stunning and truthful article...I'm speechless, and at the same time, in total agreement... --JG 05/22 |
