You know, actually I saw it written in Spin Magazine one time and every, they said, they
wrote the sentence, every single thing about the White Stripes is a lie.
What do you guys remember, I wasn't there, but what do you remember about, you know,
the first show you played cooking like that, in the Gold Valley?
There's a lot of people come to see us really right off the bat, which was pretty interesting
to us, we didn't expect that, I don't know if they particularly liked the band, they
were just intrigued enough to come.
I'm sitting here with the White Stripes, and the music is so wild it can make you weep
over how pitlessly the Stripes keep crushing the other bands out there, but that guy's
just rawness, I think, just rawness where there's no attention to detail, it's just
the real rock and roll, it's great, it's great when people are into it and you don't
know what to do, it's great when people are into it and you don't know what to do,
it's great when people are into it and you don't know what to do, it's great when
people are into it and you don't know what to do, you don't know what to do, you don't
know what to do, you don't know what to do, you don't know what to do, you don't know
Oh, yeah, there's things coming from that blood in the goprato.
Last time we had a conversation with you, you said when you know under felt relevant perhaps you end the white stripes.
If things ever were bad, I don't know, I think if things are bad it's just time to end it, you know.
I think a lot of times artists go, keep going, going and they just think, I need to get some more money.
I need to get even more money than I already have.
Or things like that, I want more, more, more.
We're not the kind of people that want more, more, more.
I think we want less, less, less.
With the confinement of everything we do all the time, it's such a minimalistic approach to things that it's in the exact reverse of what is usually about fame and success.
Completely out of the blue, completely by surprise, shocked many Iraq music fans.
Guys, it is my unfortunate duty to tell you that on February 2, 2011, the white stripes have broken up.
Some have speculated that Meg's anxiety issues may have been to blame, but the band has hinted some other causes.
Everything that's happened over the past 10 years, whether you consider it good, bad or whatever, you're still able to go back and sit down with these original instruments.
And simultaneously, it feels like nothing's happened, nothing's changed.
That you are the same man that you were 10 years ago.
That you are the same man that you were 10 years ago.
Meg and I had really no idea what people wanted from a male and female on stage.
We didn't really know what that part of the deal was.
I'm not the most keeps on bleeding, because it's really unneeded.
I better call out on me, of the boys, of the boys.
Yeah, my friends are all dying, and death can't be lying.
It's the truth, and it don't make a noise.
It's the truth, and it doesn't make a noise.
Oh, Peter, oh Peter, if you lived in Mesquite, I wouldn't move you with a bead of a drum.
We want to represent that it was femininity and masculinity, and telling both sides of the story of whatever song was being performed.
I mean, if we band into tomorrow and break my heart, we've done what we wanted to do all this whole time.
My favorite phrase that's ever been written about the band, somebody wrote,
the way stripes are simultaneously the most fake band in the world and the most real band.
I promised I would not leave her on, but she read me, then let me, and I ain't what once fed me,
till I put every word in this song.
Thank you.
Thank you.
