Um, no. Also I'd rather here somebody go with a simpler beat than fix the song than people that over use fills because they feel they need them. I think the latter is much worse.
I am form Michigan, but we lived in Akron and Cleveland for awhile, so they were a local band for us. Then we moved to Salt Lake and they just exploded it. IT was awesome. I doubt I would have picked up guitar if I hadn't heard their music....and I now I play professionally, and I'm not out of High School. They're like.... inspirational for me.
i've loved them since i heard them on the black snake moan soundtrack. and i also love little black submarines. i just picked up their two latest albums and it makes me happy. they're such a solid band. and i just realized tickets went on sale for their show saturday. brb.
Simplicity is there music. What would the White Stripes be without the simple, childish drumming of Meg White.. They make music the way they want, and that works pretty damn well.
