He played bass on the song "Go It Alone" on Beck's album Guero, pretty cool stuff too.

What effect is he using? I can barely make out the difference in the notes he's playing.

Funny thing is here in Detroit, they were kind of a joke, most just laughed at them.
Now I guess who's laughing!!!

Personally, I never liked them, then or now.
Meg is a hack, and Jack IMO isn't much better.
But they do what they do.

The White Stripes are midline big in America, but their last album didn't have any hits here, so if they don't get a hit this time, they probably won't be very big in America anymore.

I do like the quirkieness of their music, but Meg is undeserving of drumming on any stage (cute as she is). Hack is an understatement.

You know, I just can't help but like them despite their being put up on a holy pedestal by the Self-Proclaimed Arbiters of Hip such as Rolling Stone magazine and the like.

Plus, Meg is cute.

I've always liked the White Stripes. Jack's got the rock'n'roll spirit, which can't be taught. I've seen them live a couple of times, and Meg holds her own. Definetly not the best, and probably just barely adequate, but it seems to work for them.

I can't stand their music.

Plus Meg such an overrated and horrible drummer.

I love this new album. It's going on my MP3 player. I think it's as good as Elephant. I don't give a crap if Meg's a lousy drummer or not. I'm all about Jack White. The guy's a genius. I really don't get how people don't see it. He sings great (he could stand to do second takes once in a while, though) and he plays guitar great. Plays a decent bass and keyboard, too.

You need to go back and listen to her playing....
It's not the "simplistic drumming"
She can barely play the drums at all. She's about as terrible as a 5th grader in thier first year of music class.
