White Stripes on Jon Stewart

[johnnie]

Just a heads up for people who like them.

[sasquatch]

1. Man, look how huge Stewart is now

:wow:

[johnnie]

2. LOL

Yeah, he has hit the big time.

[Blue-Jay]

3. What a coincidence!

I was just wondering when I could listen to a poorly-tuned, badly-played guitar again. Life is funny like that.

[eeyore]

4. LOL!

Meg can barely hold time on those drums, too!

But dammit they look good doing it!

[johnnie]

5. Oh well

In that case you can swing by my house.

[WCGreen]

6. They were cool......

It was cool....

[PittPoliSci]

9. they are novice at best

schlocky is probably the most accurate word to describe them though.

i despise them.

[patcox2]

13. Thank God I am not the only one!

I just don't see it.

She can't play drums for shit.

He has some kinda swing going, he has a sense of the music, but one song is enough for me for about a week.

They remind me of comic-book guy in the Simpsons, geeky and kinda disturbing music fans, but not musicians. He might be the best air-guitar player alive, its just that he actually plays.

[Beausoir]

19. I thought I was the only one!

God I detest them. Poseurs. Two years ago I mentioned my dislike of them and I got my head handed to me on a platter by about 500 irate DU fans. Glad I can finally come out and say it aloud.

SHE CAN'T DRUM!!!!! She can't keep a simple beat. It's absolutely insane that people think she is a musician.

7. i like the stripes--

thanks for the heads up!

[nutsnberries]

8. i missed it... i totally forgot....

what did they play ...and .... what colors were they wearing? ;)

[kwassa]

10. they wore their traditional green and purple

They were quite good.

[nutsnberries]

11. damn.

:banghead:

[Greyskye]

12. This was the first time I'd seen them

Frankly, I wasn't that impressed. While not familiar with their songs, I heard what I felt were mistakes in guitar, piano, and drumming. And I wasn't impressed by his vocal techniques either. :shrug: And even though I like 'stripped down' band sounds, they really could use some bass!

[patcox2]

14. I guess sucking is "cool" these days.

I have been really heartened to read these responses, I was afraid I might be the only old fogey-curmudgeon who just doesn't get it. I cannot stand them.

[realisticphish]

18. don't worry

20 year old non-curmudgeon who hates them here :hi:

[underpants]

15. I like them but I had the same observations

I don't mind a loose operation like that and I have always liked a stripped down band like that (Flat Duo Jets) but I had read here on DU and seen reviews on their current commercial about how he was the greatest guitarist alive...really? Many DU'ers rebuffed this claim.

Eh I don't see it being all THAT.

[Ekirh]

16. I normally enjoy the White Stripes

Somewhat, but last night they just didn't sound all that good in my opinion especially on Guitar.

Nothing against them though, I do like a few songs here and there, last night just didn't sound all that good.

[redqueen]

17. I missed 'em... but based on the reviews here

I guess I'm glad I did.

I really loved their cover of Jolene.

[eyesroll]

20. I fell asleep early, but woke up in time to hear that doorbell song.

It's been in my head since last night. x(
