The White Stripes

^ they have been divorced for a long time and quasi pretend to be brother and sister, and meg is not good. i mean she sounRAB good with him because she just does her job, but she is not very talented technically speaking.
 
Thanyou Marijan.

The rest of the forum can thank me for shaming you into upping this...:D

It had better be good. I'm holding you personally responsible for the quality content of this album.
 
Its not that they dont have musical talent. They intentionally keep their music simple. They are supporters of De Stijl, a dutch artistic movement, that trys to find beauty in simplicity, hence the 3 colour wardrobe(white red and black), and simple tunes. They consider themselves artists in the very way they live their lives. I personally enjoy their music. You may think that Seven Nation Army and Hardest Button to Button are simple, but the rest of the album (Elephant) is a quite a bit better.

Keep in mind when they started the band, Jack had been playing guitar for a nuraber of years, but Meg had no previous drumming experience, I greatly respect that.

Oh ya and to clear up the whole sister-wife thing. Jack and Meg have no relation to each other. They were married, and then divorced. There are documents out there that prove this. I dont know why they tell the media they are brother and sister, maybe to confuse us, or to create mystery. No one really knows.

I hope I cleared up some Stripes myths.
 
You get, though that its not about playing it better. He could have grabbed a drummer that could play much better but opted not to.

Theres a reason for it. Don't take this the wrong way but it doesn't matter if you can play better, you probably can't play simple.
