It looks *enough* like her, but when you see her in profile it pretty much invalidates it.

"plus the big-breasted star of the sex tape keeps losing her rythm which is soo Meg White"

people keep saying this and everytime i listen to white stripes i listen to her and her tempo is just fine. she gets the most undeserved bad rap of any drummer in history. i like her super stompy minimalism. like what do people want for that band? neil peart or some shit?

People talk shit abt Ringo too and he was awesome, e.g. Yoko's Plastic Ono Band record.

NABISCO: ok but so let me note what i've been saying about meg white since 2000 NABISCO: EVERY GIRL IN MICHIGAN LOOKS LIKE THAT GIRL: HA! GIRL: really? GIRL: pale? honkey? GIRL: she's kinda cute GIRL: you no like? NABISCO: well every time i see her i just feel like i'm in grand rapids FRIEND: gross NABISCO: it's like some dutch guy had sex with dolls and then it rained for six years and now there are a million Meg Whites running around the woods being weird
― nabisco, Monday, 24 September 2007 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link
it looks alot like her

I think I've come around to the position that I'm not so much bothered by her clunky behind the beat playing as by the fact that she bashes the ride cymbal on EVERY PART OF EVERY SONG when, say, a closed hi-hat now and then would suffice.

Try BIG Rapids -- cheaper and weirder. Hell, go for Tustin or Elk Rapids or something: it's basically like if you took Twin Peaks and re-cast it with 200 imaginary Jack-and-Meg offspring.

That could just as well be an ultragrrrl sex tape as a meg white one. It looks like what I imagine every Killers/My Chemical Romance fan sex tape to look like.

very unsteady tempos, the one time i saw the stripes play. no, i don't expect neil peart, but it did detract from their sound imo. OTM about the ride cymbal bashing too, but i still think she sounds pretty good on the records

I just don't understand these conceptions of Meg's drumming not being completely integral to the White Stripes' "sound" (as if there are parts she's not doing justice too, or that they could be played better by some other drummer - Meg's minimalist style is one of THE identifying hallmarks of the band. Its like saying the Sparks are okay but Ron Mael's piano playing really holds back the material or something)

― deej, Monday, 24 September 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link
she IS a huge part of the stripes sound and they are all the better for it, but she still uses the cymbal bashing trick too much
― 6335, Monday, 24 September 2007 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link
Yeah, I totally agree about her drumming - further evidenced by the fact that that other band Jack White is in with a "real" drummer completely blows.
― Hurting 2, Monday, 24 September 2007 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link
she should get some other cymbals

She certainly does know how to ride a cymbal, amirite?

Interesting to think of which legacy act reunions would hold sway at a place like Coachella. The recent muted response to the Blur reunion makes me think a Kinks reunion might draw similar levels of apathy.
― henry s, Friday, 26 April 2024 21:41 (five months ago) link
Oasis would get a good reception at a US festival.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 26 April 2024 21:48 (five months ago) link
Oasis would be victim to Gen X'er fans who are now too old to chase festivals. I think One Direction could still attract millennials with time and money to spend, though.
― ⓓⓡ (Johnny Fever), Friday, 26 April 2024 21:51 (five months ago) link
Dire straits reunion would be cool if they toured with some of the Tuareg/North African bands they influenced
― JoeStork, Friday, 26 April 2024 22:16 (five months ago) link
Coachella’s owners have done an old people act festival on its own. The timeframe for a legacy act being a headliner has, I think, shortened. The festival just isn’t as much of a draw for people above a certain ceiling, and with the audience being mostly people in their 20s wanting at most a revival of someone they loved in their teens or a childhood callback, I don’t know if Meg and the Stripes are it. I feel like part of the late 90s/00s legacy acts being successful at the festival was the Pitchfork-esque cred of knowing an act that’s name-checked as having cred. And even that seems like a throwback to the earlier era. Maybe if something other than Seven Nation Army is a tiktok hit there could be enough pull

For a 22-year old the White Stripes were on the radio when they were a kid in the car with their parents, for a 30-year old "Icky Thump" was a middle-school jam
― papal hotwife (milo z), Friday, 26 April 2024 22:41 (five months ago) link
You could probably push back another ten years to the alt-rock heyday and capture an under-30 crowd (who have all been exposed to grunge via Youtube) but all those bands are either impossible to reunite (Soundgarden) or have carried on in zombie form (STP, Alice in Chains) anyway.

The Jam, though they mean nowt in America apart from a few Anglophiles.
I never got to see them; they came nowhere near the mountain west of the U.S. I'd welcome a reunion tour, although it's extremely unlikely they could match the energy that is apparent even in videos of their live performances back in the day.
