Love these guys, I have a couple of their albums. Get Behind Me Satan and the one before it, the one with Seven Nation Army. Wasnt aware of the latest one.
I've got to echo Franco's sentiments - 'Get Behind Me Satan': great album.
Great choice of clips, Bryce.
Here's a raised glass to the White Stripes and the music they gave us. And whisper it softly so that Mrs F doesn't hear, but I will forever have a soft spot for Meg.
Big fan of their stuff - loved how Jack White was a fan of Orson Welles and even snuck in a bit of the song from CITIZEN KANE into "The Union Forever." Always thought that was pretty cool. Too bad they have broken up but one thing I've learned from musicians/bands is never say never. Like the Pixies reforming, Led Zeppelin even doing a one-off. I wouldn't be surprised in a few years time Jack and Meg getting back together.
@ FC: They're definitely worth checking out. They stayed strong to the end.
@ thevoid99: De Stijl is my personal favorite. Truth Doesn't Make A Noise is so good.
@ Neil: Thanks Neil. You and me both.
@ Paul: I never got to see them live one of my (now) biggest musical regrets. I like Jack White's other works, but the always seem a bit muted compared to The Stripes.
@ JD: Yeah I always loved Union. I'm sure they will eventually reform. But the Pixies as much as I love them have basically turned into a Vegas act for our generation and I'm not at all sure I want that from The Stripes.

I will miss the White Stripes. Elephant remains their best album. I also love White Blood Cells and De Stijl (which I'm listening to right now).

I had the joy of seeing them live 4 times and each time they left everything they had on the stage. Just an incredible live experience.
Before I saw them for the first time, I dismissed Meg as being a crappy drummer but live it was clear that Jack and Meg had a musical symbiosis.
I'm kind of sad they broke up...but Jack's got his other bands so it's not like he's going anywhere.

So....when's the reunion tour? Jack White is the last truly great blues slide guitarist.
