We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.

I can do minimalism, and I certainly enjoy music outside of metal.

I do find the comment about not understanding feeling to be rather interesting. I won't take offense to it, but I will outright say you're wrong on so many levels. The first thing to understand is that all music has feeling to some degree, even metal. Just because you don't relate to the feeling of metal doesn't make it without feeling. Likewise, I just don't relate to the feeling of The White Stripes. Please do explain what the feeling behind stolen riffs and purposefully simplistic structures for the sake of being musically accessible is.

Supposed track titles include;

Catch Hell Blues
I'm Slowly Turning Into You
Little Cream Soda
Rag And Bone
Icky Thump
You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do As You're Told)
Conquest
What Love Is

The tracks, "Icky Thump", "What Love Is" and "Conquest." are described as... "an experimental, heavy sounding 70s riff", "a strong, melodic love song" and "an unexpected mix of big guitars and a bold horn section".

Sounds interesting.

Maybe I am wrong but don`t you think it`s a coincidence that 2 people who are known for liking metal come into this thread & start saying how sh*t the White Stripes are.

I`d love to explain 'what the feeling behind stolen riffs and purposefully simplistic structures for the sake of being musically accessible is.'
That to me is what roots music about. The White Stripes are a blues based band.If you listen to the best blues artists you`ll see that original riffs & overcomplex melodies were not exactly the flavour of the day hence my follow up comment about it being the total opposite of what metal fans enjoy.

Perhaps you could explain to me the feeling behind 10 minute guitar solos & lyrics about valhalla & dragons?

Guitar solos can be very expressive and emotive. Listen to any blues solo, I'm sure you'll hear the feeling in that as its a style of music you seem to relate to.

As far as Valhalla and dragons go, its storytelling. Nothing more really. I suppose I could go into a rant about how me and Gimli are like brothers and such but I won't.

I like metal but i also like the blues and the white stripes didn't think much of their last album though can't wait for the new album though and tour.
