So are people ever going to admit that the drummer girl in White Stripes SUCKS? Jack White? Talented fucker, but his ex--or whoever she is--god she just stinks!
I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that she sucks. I haven't met anyone who has defended her lack of talent. Jack White is great though! Seriously, I think he's a great songwriter.
In a weird way, I find something touching about the fact that he won't kick her out and get a real drummer.
Okay I am glad I am not alone. But because of her I can't listen to their music without giggling. So fuck the White Stripes.
i couldnt agree more. a lot of people close to my band try to get me into the stripes all the time. but i just can not get past her infantile attempts at "drumming"
I hear what y'all saying, but it really doesn't bother me at all. I mean, I recognize that she's terrible, but it doesn't bug me.
I think I get more out of the "amatuer with heart" thing than the "technical wizard" thing.
