Jack White?

[FloorFiller]

always been a massive fan of Icky Thump (song and album) so would be over the moon if we got it. the one album by the Stripes that i had repeated listens of when it was released (christ knows why i stopped there)

[WS_Jack_III]

Just listened to my remaster and reprinted self titled album. Such a raw sound back at the beginning, not as tight as they got to be, but damn the Stripes made some exciting music. It was odd listening to Lazaretto and then going back to the beginning.

Love going back to the beginning. Jimmy the Exploder came on the other day and I was thinking the exact same thing. Brilliant stuff though

[Superscally]

First listen through of Lazaretto... Not sure at all. Thumbs are wavering in a downward direction at the moment.

[When Jokers Attack]

Anyone got their LP from Third Man yet? Hoping it will come today or tomorrow.

No idea how long it takes to come from the states though. Think it was shipped on Monday.

[Neal86]

These recent setlists are making me want to choose them over the manics NOOO

[WS_Jack_III]

that album's all about astro and do for me.

Their version of one more cup of coffee is also killer.

Cannon and Astro are awesome as is Broken Bricks. I saw the Stripes perform Do. Was lovley.

Their version of One more Cup of Coffee is the only thing I dislike by Jack White.

[Ipayne]

Do it, you won't regret it

people in the states have started getting them.

I'm in the same pickle. My thoughts are that the Manics being on Other is just going to be a bog standard festival set, whereas Jack could pull anything out in his hour and a quarter. Plus imagine the whole of the pyramid field singing along to Seven Nation Army at the end

[Superscally]

Am I alone in thinking that the new album...and to be honest, the last album...is a bit, for want of a better word, the emperor's new clothes? :/ White Stripes = Amazing. Ractonteurs = Damn bloody good. Dead Weather = Alright. Ish. Jack's solo albums = Patchy?

Agree, except I prefer The Dead Weather to The Raconteurs!

As happy as I am to be seeing Jack White, I'd much rather be seeing the White Stripes. I'm yet to see a White Stripes song I prefer being played as a full band than I do with Meg White Edited June 6, 2014 by howlin_pete

Do you say these things deliberately to antagonize me? When it comes to white based knowledge and facts you're unbeatable round here, but in what'd be described as opinion you are wrong so many times. :-)

One more cup of coffee is brilliant in both Dylan and white.

it's starting to look like I'm doing it deliberately but I honestly don't like the Stripes version of that song. Have you heard their other Dylan covers? They're unbelievably good. Isis in particular.

[Mardy]

I can't remember which one they did when I saw them live here, but the penultimate song or something was a dylan cover. Which was sort of the first thing we heard as we got into the venue

actually, I've just checked, that's not true, isis came in the middle. But anyway, we still missed way too much of it

Loving the new record. Keep listening to temporary ground for some reason

[Mardy]

I reckon scruffy will be here in a minute to rip the piss out of me for missing most of it

[The Nal]

How was Isis Mardy? Death Letter too. Interesting! Two of my favourite tunes.

[WS_Jack_III]

Was it Black Jack Davey? That was a B-side to 7na I think. They used to do it live. Fantastic version.

Edit: sorry slow net connection, just seen we figured it was Isis.

Looking back, I saw them twice in about 2 weeks, once in Moscow and once in Poland. It was a great venue in Moscow, a converted auto repair garage. It started ridiculously early.

Everything here starts late, so gigs can begin at say, 2am or something in some clubs. White Stripes? 7pm sharp on a Sunday evening. Wrong-footed all of us.

But it was bloody good, really enjoyed what I saw of it, from Isis onwards, really. Definitely better than seeing them in Gdansk/ Gydynia a fortnight later. That night Underworld fucking nailed it and the White stripes seemed a bit lost on that stage. They're a band made for small venues or huge televised events, nothing in-between I reckon. You need to see what they're doing in detail to appreciate it. And a sweaty, smokey, boozy concrete garage in Moscow was pretty fucking perfect.

[WS_Jack_III]

I like the dead weather Dylan cover off the first albums.

To put that as the only song you dislike though and therefore his worse song when songs like st Andrew and prickly thorn exist. Or that Charles foster Kane pastiche who's name escapes me.

I hated White Moon for ages too but love it since seeing Under Great White Northern Lights. I just don't like the way he sings One more Cup of Coffee. CFK, you mean Union Forever from WBC? Great song! St Andrew and Prickly Thorn are okay too. Bat shit crazy songs that fit Icky very well.

[Andeeroo]

You're worse than III!;-)

Now now, let's not be silly

I'd take Goodnight Irene as last song at Glasto. It won't be, we'll definitely get 7NA.

[Guest]

Weighing in on the opinions wrestling by saying that The Dead Weather have a better batting average than The White Stripes in terms of %age of songs being massive bangers, but White Strips out-do them in terms of sheer volume. The debut S/T is my favourite White Stripes album.

Fight me IRL if you disagree.
