Led Zeppelin are arguably a great influence on the White Stripes. You can't deny the similarities in their shrill vocals and blues-based rock. You could say they just so happen to have similar influences. You could pick apart Stripes songs here and there and find evidence one way or another, but you don't need a microscope to see the influence of Led Zeppelin's Royal Albert Hall portion of their self-titled DVD (released in 2003) on this footage.

This Yanni guy knows his shit. Honestly man, you want to see extras and a polished sound, get the Britanny Spears DVD, or just get Crossroads and save yourself the time. I bet you get whiplash when you rock out to Rush or Phish, when your long hippie hair gets stuck in your buttcheeks. This is "punk news" eh? You think "punk" is about sounding as clean as possible?? How do you even write for a punk site man..serious..i'm not punk, but I bet you think Good Charlotte is. Next time save yourself some embarrasment, and review the lastest Celine Dion album, cuz "Honey", that shit's probably even got a coaster under it on your goddamned coffee table. I bet people would prefer a Good Charlotte DVD, which ONLY has extras, and no music. You people who like garbage music piss me off. Jack White rocks, and only Good Charlotte, or Nickleback fans might disagree. You show me a band that has that shitty of a drummer, and only one other person that is that good. I'm sure this jerk off likes his coffee table polished, just like the bands he probably likes, and probably like his gleaming nutsack. If you honestly can diss Zepplin AND Jack White and you work at a music store, i bet you only sell Yanni and John Tesh. Loser. For a two man group, Local H is alot better than the White Stripes, and at the same time they are not overplayed nor even exposed to the main stream in the slightest. Score is for the white stripes getting huge mainstream success while a much more deserving band wallows in the scarce grunge underground. "I drove to my stupid job today. As far best music DVD goes, ya gotta go with "Stop Making Sense" by The Talking Heads, that shit is awesome. Score is still for herpes. I'm having a flare up again. "I drove to my stupid job today. This band does suck, but this line: I'll say it again, this band sucks "I drove to my stupid job today." This thread is hilarious: I drove to my stupid job today. i still havent heard this band, but they sure do piss all you people off. Score is for herpes. Why can't I just be a normal young man? He must just be really stupid. guy below me, i really hope english is not your first language. The white stripes is probably one of the crappiest bands of all time. At least, learn to play the drums (my grandmother could probably play them better) and please tune the guitar....I don't care what the critics or fans say, like: you don't understand the music, the rawness, "the message" or whatever. I mean use your ears, they sound at their best like crap or like something falling of the roof. Truly a great proof of how the media can hype a shitty band. Enough said... "I thought this was a punk site. Not altrocknews.org" Am I among the chosen few who notice that this band is extremely overrated and in fact, really sucks ass? Anyone who's having trouble sleeping, Chinatown is writing a review on the new ....Trail of the Dead album. Boring band, douche bag interviewer. Fuck this talentless band no Trail of Dead review yet? "I thought this was a punk site. Not altrocknews.org" I'm a fan, but I don't think I would pick this up unless it was under 10 bucks...are there any extras? I thought this was a punk site. Not altrocknews.org Blackpool's nice, it has a tower named after it. i have some 'bootleg' live cd that I much prefer to their acctual cds for the most part,alot of the songs live they change up just enough to make them more interesting...more personality. the first time i ever saw them live was amazing,and I wish I could do it again,but dont wanna pay 40$ to see them in a giant theatre really.. I think her simplistic drumming balances out his great guitar work. they are a dynamic duo "You don't have to color inside the lines but at least stay within the book, honey. You're ruining the coffee table." good review. score is for the drummer's rack. Score's for Blackpool. Beastie Boys Criterion Collection DVD I had heard it came with an album of hte live songs, and I bought it and was totally let down to find out it did not. Fucking Amazon.com reviews... "You don't have to color inside the lines but at least stay within the book, honey. You're ruining the coffee table." no Trail of Dead review yet? the girl in this band........quite possibly the worst "drummer" ever? |
