Simply the best band in rock today

[axlslash]

Jack White is a god. Period. The more I listen to this band, the more I love them. They're like the White Stipes with even more emotion and some tallent in the rythm section.

I give you: The Raconteurs

[Ridin' the Nightrain]

If Jack (or Meg) White by some small miracle managed to get even more talentless he'd cease to exist.

edit: *its a nancy sinatra cover* ....doubt they'll record it if thats the case unless they get permission

WOW! that would have been perfect for the Casino Royal Bond Theme

Is there are a studio recording of this?

also "Hands" is a great song

Meg yes. Jack isn't talentless at all. He's a brilliant songwriter, a wonderful performer, and may have the most unique voice this side of Bob Dylan. He'e the perfect combination of Eddie Vedder, Bob Dylan, and the Grim Reaper in my oppinion: Bob's musicianship and uniqueness of voice, Eddie's grunge attitude and sound, and the Reaper's horrifically white complexion. If I didn't already have plans, I'd totally go to their NYE show in Chicago. They are a SICK fucking band. Head over to www.DimeADozen.org and download a show or two. They are absolutely astounding live.

Yeah I agree. I love the White Stripes, but I've never heard any of the The Raconteurs....

[eschman]

Great musician and much more interesting than 99 percent of what's out there now.

[axlslash]

Yeah I agree. I love the White Stripes, but I've never heard any of the The Raconteurs....

It's the power and emotion of the Stripes with better musicians. Meg is replaced by a drummer and bassist who can actually play (and extraordinarily well at that), and a lead guitarist is added. The video I posted is one of the best vids of them I've seen. They're deefinetly worth checkin out.

Never heard of them till now. Oh, wait, I just saw the song steady as she goes is theirs, like this song

You are right, they are very good, but not the No1 rock band today

Nah. You're wrong.

[kevdo242]

Nah, he's right.

Store Bought Bones live is amazing. I got their Electric Proms set, and its great.

[Streetchild]

I prefer the Raconteurs over the White Stripes, who I also love. Both great bands.

Thanks for the video. 've been looking for a good version of this song since I heard them play it live. Jack White is great at covers. He also did a great version of "Jolene" with the White Stripes.

Please, tell me how I am wrong. His lyrics are amazing, he has the attitude......I see nothing wrong with what I said.

And streetchild, I suggest you check out the White Stripes' cover of Bob Dylan's Lovesick. I don't usually like Dylan covers better than the original, but this is a clear exception.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

[axlslash]

To his credit, Meg is pretty shitty. Jack just has enough talent for a whole band, so it's all good.

[Axel1304]

they are very good one of the best albums i bought this year

[Leigh-Rok!]

On the strength of the thread I have just ordered 'Broken Boy Soldiers', that's the right one, right?

[axlslash]

Glad to be of service, Leigh :krider:
