Beginning in the late 1990s, the White Stripes sought success within the Detroit music scene, releasing six singles and two studio albums, their self-titled debut album (1999) and De Stijl (2000). They rose to prominence with their critically acclaimed albums White Blood Cells (2001) and Elephant (2003), which propelled them to the forefront of the garage rock revival scene. The single "Seven Nation Army", which used a guitar and an octave pedal to create the opening riff, became one of their most recognizable songs. The band released two more albums, Get Behind Me Satan (2005) and Icky Thump (2007), and the documentary Under Great White Northern Lights (2009), before dissolving in 2011 after a lengthy hiatus from performing and recording.

The White Stripes used a low-fidelity approach to writing and recording. Their music featured a melding of garage rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo were also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which featured a simple color scheme of red, white, and black—which was used on every album and single cover they released—as well as the duo's fascination with the number three. Their discography consists of six studio albums, two live albums, one extended play (EP), one concert film, one tour documentary, 26 singles, and 14 music videos.

Over the course of their career, the White Stripes earned numerous accolades, which include winning a Brit Award from six nominations, six Grammy Awards from eleven nominations, and six MTV Video Music Awards from eighteen nominations. Two of their albums have been included on various editions of Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and in 2015, the same publication named them the sixth greatest duo of all time. In 2023, in their first year of eligibility, the White Stripes were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but were not inducted.

History edit

1996–1999: Early years, formation and The White Stripes edit

In high school, Jack Gillis (as he was then known)[1] met Meg White at the Memphis Smoke—the restaurant where she worked and where he would read his poetry at open mic nights.[2] The two became friends, and began to frequent the coffee shops, local music venues, and record stores of the area.[3] By this time, Gillis was already playing drums with musician friends, including his upholstery apprenticeship mentor, Brian Muldoon.[4][5] In 1994, he got his first professional job as the drummer for the Detroit cowpunk band Goober & the Peas.[6][7][8] After dating for several years, Gillis and White married on September 21, 1996.[9][10] Contrary to convention, he took his wife's surname.[4][11] Shortly after, Goober and the Peas broke up, but Jack continued to play in other bands, such as the garage punk band the Go (he played lead guitar on their 1999 album Whatcha Doin'), the Hentchmen, and Two-Star Tabernacle.

On Bastille Day 1997,[12] Meg started learning to play the drums. In Jack's words, "When she started to play drums with me, just on a lark, it felt liberating and refreshing. There was something in it that opened me up."[4] The couple then became a band and, while they considered calling themselves Bazooka and Soda Powder,[13] they settled on the White Stripes.[14] Jack explained the name's origin: "Meg loves peppermints, and we were going to call ourselves the Peppermints. But since our last name was White, we decided to call it the White Stripes. It revolved around this childish idea, the ideas kids have—because they are so much better than adult ideas, right?"[15] From the beginning, they established certain motifs: publicly pretending to be brother and sister,[16] outfitting their production in only black, red, and white,[17] and heavily using the number "three".[18] White has explained that they used these colors to distract from the fact that they were young, white musicians playing "black music".[19] They were also noted for their lack of a bass player, and their general refusal to be interviewed separately.[20][18]

The White Stripes had their first live performance on August 14, 1997, at the Gold Dollar bar in Detroit.[21] They began their career as part of the Michigan underground garage rock scene, playing with local bands such as the Hentchmen, the Dirtbombs, the Gories, and Rocket 455.[22] In 1998, Dave Buick—owner of an independent, Detroit-based, garage-punk label called Italy Records—approached the band at a bar and asked if they would like to record a single.[23] Jack initially declined, believing it would be too expensive, but he eventually reconsidered when he realized that Buick was offering to pay for it.[24] Their debut single, "Let's Shake Hands", was released on vinyl in February 1998 with an initial pressing of 1,000 copies.[25] This was followed in October 1998 by the single "Lafayette Blues" which, again, was only released on vinyl with 1,000 copies.[26]

In 1999, the White Stripes signed with the California-based label Sympathy for the Record Industry.[27][17] In March 1999, they released the single "The Big Three Killed My Baby", followed by their debut album, The White Stripes, on June 15, 1999.[27] The self-titled debut was produced by Jack and engineered by American music producer Jim Diamond at his Ghetto Recorders studio in Detroit.[28] The album was dedicated to the seminal Mississippi Delta blues musician Son House, an artist who influenced Jack.[18][29] The track "Cannon" from The White Stripes contains part of an a cappella version, as performed by House, of the traditional American gospel blues song "John the Revelator". The White Stripes also covered House's song "Death Letter" on their follow-up album De Stijl. Looking back on their debut during a 2003 interview with Guitar Player, Jack said, "I still feel we've never topped our first album. It's the most raw, the most powerful, and the most Detroit-sounding record we've made."[30] AllMusic said of the album:[27] "Jack White's voice is a singular, evocative combination of punk, metal, blues, and backwoods while his guitar work is grand and banging with just enough lyrical touches of slide and subtle solo work... Meg White balances out the fretwork and the fretting with methodical, spare, and booming cymbal, bass drum, and snare... All D.I.Y. punk-country-blues-metal singer-songwriting duos should sound this good."

At the end of 1999, the White Stripes released "Hand Springs" as a 7" split single with fellow Detroit band the Dirtbombs on the B-side. 2,000 copies came free with the pinball fanzine Multiball. The record is currently—like the majority of vinyl records by the White Stripes—out of print and difficult to find.

2000–2002: De Stijl and White Blood Cells edit

Jack and Meg divorced in March 2000.[31] The White Stripes were scheduled to perform at a local music lounge soon after they separated. Jack assumed the band was over and asked Buick and nephew Ben Blackwell to perform with him in the slot that had been booked for the White Stripes. However, the day they were supposed to perform, Meg convinced Jack that the White Stripes should continue and the band reunited.[32] The White Stripes' second album, De Stijl (Dutch for "The Style"), was released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label on June 20, 2000.[33] Considered a cult classic[34] and self-recorded on an 8-track analog tape in Jack's living room,[35][36] De Stijl displays the simplicity of the band's blues and "scuzzy garage rock" fusion prior to their breakthrough success.[37]

The album title derives from the Dutch art movement of the same name;[37] common elements of the De Stijl aesthetic are demonstrated on the album cover, which sets the band members against an abstract background of rectangles and lines in red, black and white.[18] The White Stripes cited the minimalist and deconstructionist aspects of De Stijl design as a source of inspiration for their own musical image and presentation.[38] The album was dedicated to furniture designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld of the De Stijl movement, as well as to the influential Georgia bluesman Blind Willie McTell.[39] De Stijl eventually reached number 38 on Billboard Magazine's Independent Albums chart in 2002, around the time the White Stripes' popularity began establishing itself. One New York Times critic at the time said that the Stripes typified "what many hip rock fans consider real music."[40]

Party of Special Things to Do was released as a 7" on Sub Pop in December 2000.[41] It comprised three songs originally performed by Captain Beefheart, an experimental blues rock musician.

The White Stripes' third album, White Blood Cells, was released on July 3, 2001, on Sympathy for the Record Industry.[42] The band enjoyed its first significant success the following year with the major label re-release of the album on V2 Records.[43][44] Its stripped-down garage rock sound drew critical acclaim in the UK, and in the US soon afterward, making the White Stripes one of the most acclaimed bands of 2002.[21][43] Several outlets praised their "back to basics" approach,[45][46] with Daily Mirror calling them "the greatest band since The Sex Pistols."[47] In 2002, Q magazine listed the White Stripes as one of "50 Bands to See Before You Die".[48] After their first appearance on network TV (a live set on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn), Joe Hagan of The New York Times declared, "They have made rock rock again by returning to its origins as a simple, primitive sound full of unfettered zeal."[49]

White Blood Cells peaked at number 61 on the Billboard 200, reaching Gold record status by selling over 500,000 albums. It reached number 55 in the United Kingdom,[50] being bolstered in both countries by the single "Fell in Love with a Girl" and its accompanying Lego-animation music video directed by Michel Gondry.[20] The video won three awards at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards: Breakthrough Video, Best Special Effects, and Best Editing, and the band played the song live at the event.[12] It was also nominated for Video of the Year, but fell short of winning.[51] Stylus Magazine rated White Blood Cells as the fourteenth greatest album of 2000–2005,[52] while Pitchfork Media ranked it eighth on their list of the top 100 albums from 2000 to 2004.[53]

In 2002, George Roca produced and directed a concert film about the band titled Nobody Knows How to Talk to Children.[54] It chronicles the White Stripes' four-night stand at New York City's Bowery Ballroom in 2002, and contains live performances and behind-the-scenes footage. Its 2004 release was suppressed by the band's management, however, after they discovered that Roca had been showing it at the Seattle Film Festival without permission.[55] According to the band, the film was "not up to the standards our fans have come to expect";[55] even so, it remains a highly prized bootleg.[56]

2003–2006: Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan edit

The White Stripes' fourth album, Elephant, was recorded in 2002 over the span of two weeks with British recording engineer Liam Watson at his Toe Rag Studios in London.[57] Jack self-produced the album with antiquated equipment, including a duct-taped 8-track tape machine and pre-1960s recording gear.[57] In a 2017 interview with The New Yorker, Jack said "We had no business being in the mainstream. We assumed the music we were making was private, in a way. We were from the scenario where there are fifty people in every town. Something about us was beyond our control, though. Now it's five hundred people, now it's a second night, what is going on? Is everybody out of their minds?"[17] Elephant was released in 2003 on V2 in the US, and on XL Recordings in England.[17][58] It marked the band's major label debut and was their first UK chart-topping album, as well as their first US Top 10 album (at number six).[17] The album eventually reached double platinum certification in Britain,[59] and platinum certification in the United States.[60]

Elephant garnered critical acclaim upon its release.[21] It received a perfect five-out-of-five-star rating from Rolling Stone magazine, and enjoys a 92-percent positive rating on Metacritic.[61][62] AllMusic said the album "sounds even more pissed-off, paranoid, and stunning than its predecessor... Darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells."[63] Elephant was notable for Jack's first guitar solos, and critics also praised Meg's drumming.[64][65] Rolling Stone placed Jack at number 17 on its list of "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and included Meg on its list of the "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time".[66][67] Elephant was ranked number 390 on the magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[68] In 2009, the album came in at number 18 in NME's "Top 100 Greatest Albums of the decade". NME referred to the album as the pinnacle of the White Stripes' time as a band and one of Jack White's best works of his career.[69][70]

The album's first single, "Seven Nation Army", was the band's most successful and topped the Billboard rock charts.[71] Its success was followed with a cover of Burt Bacharach's "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself". The album's third single was the successful "The Hardest Button to Button".[72] "There's No Home for You Here" was the fourth single. In 2004, the album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album, while "Seven Nation Army" won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.[73] Also in 2004, the band released its first music film Under Blackpool Lights, which was shot entirely on super 8 film and was directed by Dick Carruthers.[74][75]

In 2005, Jack began working on songs for the band's next album at his home.[76] He played with different techniques than in past albums, trading in his electric guitar for an acoustic on all but a few of the tracks, as his trademark riff-based lead guitar style is overtaken by a predominantly rhythmic approach.[77] The White Stripes' fifth album, Get Behind Me Satan, was released in 2005 on the V2 label.[78] The title is an allusion to a Biblical quotation Jesus made to the Apostle Simon Peter from the Gospel of Matthew 16:23 of the New Testament (in the King James Version, the quotation is slightly different: "Get thee behind me, Satan"[79]). Another theory about this title is that Jack and Meg White read James Joyce's story collection "Dubliners" (published 1914) and used a line from the final story "The Dead" to title this album. The title is also a direct quotation from Who bassist John Entwistle's solo song "You're Mine".

With its reliance on piano-driven melodies and experimentation with marimba on "The Nurse" and "Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)", Get Behind Me Satan did not feature the explicit blues and punk styles that dominated earlier White Stripes albums.[80] However, despite this, the band was critically lauded for their "fresh, arty reinterpretations of their classic inspirations."[78] It has garnered positive reactions from fans, as well as critical acclaim, receiving more Grammy nominations as well as making them one of the must-see acts of the decade.[81][82] Rolling Stone ranked it the third best album of the year[83] and it received the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2006.

Three singles were released from the album, the first being "Blue Orchid", a popular song on satellite radio and some FM stations.[84][85] The second and third singles were "My Doorbell" and "The Denial Twist", respectively, and music videos were made for the three singles. "My Doorbell" was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.[86]

The White Stripes postponed the Japanese leg of their world tour after Jack strained his vocal cords, with doctors recommending that Jack not sing or talk for two weeks.[87] After a full recovery, he returned to the stage in Auckland, New Zealand to headline the Big Day Out tour.[78][88] While on the British leg of the tour, Jack changed his name from Jack White to "Three quid".

 
The White Stripes in 2005.

On October 2, 2005, Jim Diamond—the owner and operator of Ghetto Recorders recording studio—filed a lawsuit against the band and Third Man Records for "breach of contract".[89] In the suit, he claimed that as the co-producer, mixer, and editor on the band's debut album, and mixer and engineer on De Stijl, he was due royalties for "mechanical rights".[89][90] The band filed a counterclaim on May 16 of that year, requesting damages against Diamond and an official court declaration denying him rights to the material.[89] Diamond lost the suit, with the jury determining that he was not instrumental in crafting the band's sound.[90] The White Stripes released a cover version of Tegan and Sara's song "Walking with a Ghost" on iTunes in November 2005. The song was later released in December as the Walking with a Ghost EP featuring four other live tracks.[91]

In October 2006, it was announced on the official White Stripes website that there would be an album of avant-garde orchestral recordings consisting of past music written by Jack called Aluminium. The album was made available for pre-order on November 6, 2006, to great demand from the band's fans; the LP version of the project sold out in a little under a day. The project was conceived by Richard Russell, founder of XL Recordings, who co-produced the album with Joby Talbot.[92] It was recorded between August 2005 and February 2006 at Intimate Studios in Wapping, London using an orchestra. Before the album went out of print, it was available exclusively through the Aluminium website in a numbered limited edition of 3,333 CDs with 999 LPs.[93]

2007–2008: Icky Thump and hiatus edit

 
The White Stripes in 2007.

On January 12, 2007, V2 Records announced that, due to being under the process of reconstruction, it would no longer release new White Stripes material, leaving the band without a label.[94] However, as the band's contract with V2 had already expired, on February 12, 2007, it was confirmed that the band had signed a single album deal with Warner Bros. Records.[95][96] Their sixth album, Icky Thump, was released on June 19, 2007.[20][97] Following the well-received Get Behind Me Satan, Icky Thump marked a return to the punk, garage rock and blues influences for which the band is known.[20] It was recorded at Nashville's Blackbird Studio and took almost three weeks to record—the longest of any White Stripes album. It would also be their first album with a title track. The album's release came on the heels of a series of concerts in Europe and one in North America at Bonnaroo.[98][99] Prior to the album's release, three tracks were previewed to NME: "Icky Thump", "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)" and "Conquest". NME described the tracks as "an experimental, heavy sounding 70s riff", "a strong, melodic love song" and "an unexpected mix of big guitars and a bold horn section", respectively.[100]

On the US Billboard Charts dated May 12, 2007, "Icky Thump"—the first single—became the band's first Top 40 single, charting at number 26, and later charted at number 2 in the UK. Icky Thump entered the UK Albums Chart at number one,[101] and debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 223,000 copies sold.[101][102] By late July, Icky Thump was certified gold in the United States. As of March 8, 2008, the album has sold 725,125 copies in the US. On February 10, 2008, the album won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

On April 25, 2007, the duo announced that they would embark on a tour of Canada, performing in all 10 provinces, plus Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories. In the words of Jack: "Having never done a tour of Canada, Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog. We want to take this tour to the far reaches of the Canadian landscape. From the ocean to the permafrost. The best way for us to do that is ensure that we perform in every province and territory in the country, from the Yukon to Prince Edward Island. Another special moment of this tour is the show which will occur in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia on July 14, the White Stripes' Tenth Anniversary." Canadian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac opened for the band at the at the Savoy Theatre, Glace Bay show; earlier in 2007, MacIsaac and Jack had discovered that they were distantly related.[103] It was also at this time that White learned he was related to Canadian fiddle player Natalie MacMaster.[104]

On June 24, 2007, just a few hours before their concert at Deer Lake Park, the White Stripes began their cross-Canada tour by playing a 40-minute set for a group of 30 kids at the Creekside Youth Centre in Burnaby. The Canadian tour was also marked by concerts in small markets,[13] such as Glace Bay, Whitehorse and Iqaluit, as well as by frequent "secret shows" publicized mainly by posts on The Little Room, a White Stripes fan messageboard. Gigs included performances at a bowling alley in Saskatoon, a youth center in Edmonton, a Winnipeg Transit bus and The Forks park in Winnipeg, a park in Whitehorse, the YMCA in downtown Toronto, the Arva Flour Mill in Arva, Ontario,[13] Locas on Salter (a pool hall) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and a famous one-note show on George Street in St. John's, Newfoundland. They played a full show later that night at the Mile One Centre in downtown St. John's.[105] Video clips from several of the secret shows have been posted to YouTube.[106] As well, the band filmed its video for "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)" in Iqaluit.

After the conclusion of the Canadian dates, they embarked on a brief U.S. leg of their tour, which was to be followed by a break before more shows in the fall.[13] But before their last show—in Southaven, Mississippi—Ben Blackwell (Jack's nephew and the group's archivist) says that Meg approached him and said, "This is the last White Stripes show". He asked if she meant of the tour, but she responded, "No. I think this is the last show, period."[13] On September 11, 2007, the band announced the cancellation of 18 tour dates due to Meg's struggle with acute anxiety.[87] A few days later, the duo canceled the remainder of their 2007 UK tour dates as well.[107] In his review of Under Great White Northern Lights for Vanity Fair, Bill Bradley commented on the tour cancellations, saying that it was "impossible" not to see Meg as "road-weary and worn-out" at the end of the film.[108]

The band was on hiatus from late 2007 to early 2011. While on hiatus, Jack formed a group called The Dead Weather, although he insisted that the White Stripes remained his top priority.[109] Dominique Payette, a Quebecois radio host, sued the band for $70,000 in 2008 for sampling 10 seconds of her radio show in the song "Jumble Jumble" without permission.[110] The matter was ultimately settled out of court.[111]

2009–2011: Final years and breakup edit

They performed live for the first time since September 2007 on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien on February 20, 2009, where they performed an alternate version of "We're Going to Be Friends".[112][113] In an article dated May 6, 2009, with MusicRadar.com, Jack mentioned recording songs with Meg before the Conan gig had taken place, saying, "We had recorded a couple of songs at the new studio." About a new White Stripes album, Jack said, "It won't be too far off. Maybe next year." Jack also explained Meg's acute anxiety during the Stripes' last tour, saying, "I just came from a Raconteurs tour and went right into that, so I was already full-speed. Meg had come from a dead-halt for a year and went right back into that madness. Meg is a very shy girl, a very quiet and shy person. To go full-speed from a dead-halt is overwhelming, and we had to take a break."[114] The Conan gig proved to be their final live performance as a band.

In 2009 Jack reported that the White Stripes were working on their seventh album.[115][116] A concert film, Under Great White Northern Lights, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 18, 2009.[117][118][119] The film (directed by Emmett Malloy) documents the band's summer 2007 tour across Canada and contains live concert and off-stage footage.[120] Jack and Meg White appeared at the premiere and made a short speech before the movie started about their love of Canada and why they chose to debut their movie in Toronto.[121] The tour was in support of the album Icky Thump, and they performed in every province.[122] Jack conceived the idea of touring Canada after learning that Scottish relatives on his father's side had lived for a few generations in Nova Scotia before relocating to Detroit to work in the car factories.[123] Additionally, their 10th anniversary occurred during the tour on the day of their show at the at the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia,[122] and in this shot, Jack and Meg are dancing at the conclusion of the concert. The film was directed by a friend of the duo, Emmett Malloy.[124]

In an interview with Self Titled, Jack alluded to the creation of a White Stripes film, Under Nova Scotian Lights, to be released later in 2009.[125] In an interview with contactmusic.com, Jack claimed that working with the White Stripes would be "strange". "It would definitely be strange to go into the White Stripes again and have to rethink my game," adding: "But that would be the best thing about it, because it would be a whole new White Stripes."[126]

In November 2010, the White Stripes contributed a previously released cover version of the song "Rated X" to the compilation album Coal Miner's Daughter: A Tribute To Loretta Lynn.[127] In late 2010, the White Stripes reissued their first three albums on Third Man Records on a 180-gram vinyl along with 500 limited-edition, "split-colored" records to accompany it.[128][129] Jack hinted at a possible White Stripes reunion in a 2010 interview with Vanity Fair. He said, "We thought we'd do a lot of things that we'd never done: a full tour of Canada, a documentary, coffee-table book, live album, a boxed set ... Now that we've gotten a lot of that out of our system, Meg and I can get back in the studio and start fresh."[130]

On February 2, 2011, the duo announced that they had officially ceased recording and performing music as the White Stripes. The announcement specifically denied any artistic differences or health issues, but cited "a myriad of reasons ... mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band".[131][132] In a 2014 interview, Jack told Rolling Stone that Meg "viewed me that way of 'Oh, big deal, you did it, so what?' Almost every single moment of the White Stripes was like that. We'd be working in the studio and something amazing would happen: I'm like, 'Damn, we just broke into a new world right there!' And Meg's sitting in silence."[133][134] He later apologized and praised Meg nonetheless, stating that "She was the antithesis of a modern drummer. So childlike and incredible and inspiring. All the not-talking didn't matter, because onstage? Nothing I do will top that."[134]

Artistry edit

Musical style edit

The White Stripes have been described as garage rock,[135][136] blues rock,[135] alternative rock,[136] punk blues,[137] and indie rock.[138] They emerged from Detroit's active garage rock revival scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s.[12] Their contemporaries included bands such as The Von Bondies, The Dirtbombs, The Detroit Cobras, and other bands that Jack included on a compilation album called Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit, which was recorded in his living room.[12]

The band was influenced by blues musicians including Son House, Blind Willie McTell and Robert Johnson, garage rock bands such as The Gories and The Sonics,[139] the Detroit protopunk sound of bands like the MC5 and The Stooges, in addition to groups like The Cramps, The Velvet Underground, and the early Los Angeles punk blues band The Gun Club. Jack has stated on numerous occasions that the blues is the dominant influence on his songwriting and the roots of the band's music, stating that he feels it is so sacred that playing it does not do it justice. Of The Gun Club's music in particular, Jack said, "'Sex Beat', 'She's Like Heroin To Me', and 'For The Love Of Ivy'...why are these songs not taught in schools?"[140] Heavy blues rock bands such as AC/DC and Led Zeppelin have also influenced the band, as Jack has claimed that he "can't trust anybody who doesn't like Led Zeppelin."[141]

Traditional country music such as Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn,[4] rockabilly acts like the Flat Duo Jets,[4] Wanda Jackson and Gene Vincent, the surf rock of Dick Dale, and folk music like Lead Belly and Bob Dylan have also influenced the band's sound.[142] Meg has said one of her all-time favorite musicians is Bob Dylan;[143] Jack has performed live with him, and has claimed "I've got three fathers—my biological dad, God and Bob Dylan".[144]

Instruments and equipment edit

 
 
The White Stripes' signature instruments were the JB Hutto Montgomery Airline guitar and Ludwig Drums with Paiste cymbals.

The White Stripes were notable for having only two musicians, limiting the instruments they could play live.[145] Jack, the principal writer, said that this was not a problem, and that he "always centered the band around the number three. Everything was vocals, guitar and drums or vocals, piano and drums."[4] Fans and critics drew comparisons between Jack's prowess on the guitar and Meg's simplistic, reserved drumming.[40] The band additionally drew attention for their preference for antiquated recording equipment. In a 2001 New York Times concert review, Ann Powers noted that Jack's "ingenious" playing was "constrained by [Meg's] deliberately undeveloped approach", and that "he created more challenges by playing an acoustic guitar with paper taped over the hole and a less-than-high-quality solid body electric."[40]

With few exceptions, Jack displayed a continued partiality towards amps and pedals from the 1960s.[43] Jack used a number of effects to create his sound, such as a DigiTech Whammy IV to reach pitches that would be otherwise impossible with a regular guitar.[146] When performing live, Jack used a Randy Parsons custom guitar, a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Airline, a Harmony Rocket, a 1970s Crestwood Astral II, and a 1950s Kay Hollowbody. Also, while playing live, he used an MXR Micro-Amp, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi distortion/sustainer, and an Electro-Harmonix POG (a polyphonic octave generator). He also used a Boss TU-2 tuner pedal. He plugged this setup into a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb, and two 100-Watt Sears Silvertone 1485 amplifiers paired with two 6x10 Silvertone cabinets.[147] In addition to standard guitar tuning, Jack also used several open tunings. He also played other instruments such as a black F-Style Gibson mandolin, Rhodes bass keys, and a Steinway piano. He played a custom-made red and white marimba on "The Nurse", "Forever for Her (Is Over for Me)" as well as on the non-album tracks "Who's A Big Baby" and "Top Special".

Meg's minimalistic drumming style was a prominent part of the band's sound. Meg never had formal drum lessons. She played Ludwig Drums with Paiste cymbals, and says her pre-show warm-up consisted of "whiskey and Red Bull".[148] Jack downplayed criticisms of her style, insisting: "I never thought 'God, I wish Neil Peart was in this band.' It's kind of funny: When people critique hip hop, they're scared to open up, for fear of being called racist. But they're not scared to open up on female musicians, out of pure sexism. Meg is the best part of this band. It never would have worked with anybody else, because it would have been too complicated... It was my doorway to playing the blues."[4] Of her playing style, Meg herself said: "I appreciate other kinds of drummers who play differently, but it's not my style or what works for this band. I get [criticism] sometimes, and I go through periods where it really bothers me. But then I think about it, and I realize that this is what is really needed for this band. And I just try to have as much fun with it as possible ... I just know the way [Jack] plays so well at this point that I always know kind of what he's going to do. I can always sense where he's going with things just by the mood he's in or the attitude or how the song is going. Once in a while, he throws me for a loop, but I can usually keep him where I want him."[148]

Although Jack was the lead vocalist, Meg did sing lead vocals "In the Cold, Cold Night" (from Elephant)[146] and "Passive Manipulation" (from Get Behind Me Satan) among other tracks. She also accompanied Jack on the songs "Your Southern Can Is Mine" from their album De Stijl, "Hotel Yorba" and "This Protector" from their album White Blood Cells, on "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do as You're Told)" and "Rag & Bone" from their album Icky Thump,[149] "Rated X",[150] and also sang alongside Jack and Holly Golightly on the song "It's True That We Love One Another", from the album Elephant.[151]

Recording sessions and live performances edit

Several White Stripes recordings were completed rapidly. White Blood Cells was recorded in less than 4 days, and Elephant was recorded in about two weeks in London's Toe Rag Studio.[21] Their 2005 follow-up, Get Behind Me Satan, was likewise recorded in just two weeks. For live shows, the White Stripes were known for Jack's employment of heavy distortion, as well as audio feedback and overdrive. The duo performed considerably more recklessly and unstructured live, never preparing set lists for their shows, believing that planning too closely would ruin the spontaneity of their performances.[152] Other affectations included Jack using two microphones onstage.[40]

Public image edit

Aesthetics edit

 
The White Stripes exclusively donned red, white and black colors in public appearances and performances.

The White Stripes had a carefully constructed image built around lore they created for themselves and visual motifs. Early in their history, they turned down a potential deal with Chicago label Bobsled, because the label wanted to put its green logo on the CD.[13] Their presentation was a subject of intrigue among the public and in the media. They made exclusive use of a red, white and black color scheme when conducting virtually all professional duties, from album art to the clothes worn during live performances.[4] Jack told Rolling Stone in 2005 that "The White Stripes' colors were always red, white, and black. It came from peppermint candy. I also think they are the most powerful color combination of all time, from a Coca-Cola can to a Nazi banner. Those colors strike chords with people. In Japan, they are honorable colors. When you see a bride in a white gown, you immediately see innocence in that. Red is anger and passion. It is also sexual. And black is the absence of all that."[4] He also explained that they aspired to invoke an innocent childishness without any intention of irony or humor.[12] Meg said that "like a uniform at school, you can just focus on what you're doing because everybody's wearing the same thing."[18]

The media and fans alike varied between intrigue and skepticism at the band's appearance and presentation. Andy Gershon, president of the V2 label at the time of their signing, was reluctant to sign them, saying, "They need a bass player, they've got this red-and-white gimmick, and the songs are fantastic, but they've recorded very raw...how is this going to be on radio?"[12] In a 2002 Spin magazine article, Chuck Klosterman wondered, "how can two media-savvy kids posing as brother and sister, wearing Dr. Seuss clothes, represent blood-and-bones Detroit, a city whose greatest resource is asphalt?"[12] However, in 2001, Benjamin Nugent with TIME magazine commented that "it's hard to begrudge [Jack] his right to nudge the spotlight toward his band, and away from his private life, by any means available. Even at the expense of the truth."[153] Klosterman also commented that "his songs—about getting married in cathedrals, walking to kindergarten, and guileless companionship—are performed with an almost naive certitude."[154]

Portrayal as siblings edit

Early in their career, the band provided various descriptions of their relationship. Jack claimed that he and Meg were siblings, the youngest two of ten.[12] As the story went, they became a band when, on Bastille Day 1997, Meg went to the attic of their parents' home and began to play on Jack's drum kit.[12] This claim was widely believed and repeated despite rumors that they were, or had been, husband and wife.[155][156] In 2001, proof of their 1996 marriage emerged,[157][158] as well as evidence that the couple had divorced in March 2000, just before the band gained widespread attention.[159][160] Even so, they continued to insist publicly that they were brother and sister.[161] In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Jack claimed that this open secret was intended to keep the focus on the music rather than the couple's relationship: "When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, 'Oh, I see...' When they're brother and sister, you go, 'Oh, that's interesting.' You care more about the music, not the relationship—whether they're trying to save their relationship by being in a band."[162]

Other activities edit

Jack and Meg White appeared in Jim Jarmusch's film Coffee and Cigarettes in 2003,[163][164] in a segment entitled "Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil". This particular segment contains extensions of White Stripes motifs such as childhood innocence and Nikola Tesla.[165] They appeared in the 2005 documentary The Fearless Freaks, which covers the band The Flaming Lips.[166] The band appeared as themselves in The Simpsons episode "Jazzy and the Pussycats" in 2006.[167] Meg had previously expressed interest in a Simpsons role in 2003, saying that "A guest appearance would be amazing. I wouldn't want to be in a Lisa episode. They're kind of boring. Maybe a Homer one would be better."[168][169] Jack is one of three guitarists featured in the 2009 documentary It Might Get Loud, and Meg appears in segments that include the White Stripes.[170]

Achievements edit

Main article: List of awards and nominations received by the White Stripes

The critical and commercial success of the White Stripes has established Jack and Meg White as key figures of both the garage rock and indie rock revival of the 2000s.[6][171] Rolling Stone included Jack on its list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" in 2010, and Meg on its list of the "100 Greatest Drummers of All Time" in 2016.[172][173] In 2015, Rolling Stone named the White Stripes the sixth greatest duo of all time.[174] In 2023, in their first year of eligibility, the White Stripes were nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but were not inducted.[175][176]

The White Stripes received several awards throughout their career. They won the Brit Award for International Group.[177] Their final three albums, Elephant, Get Behind Me Satan and Icky Thump, each won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album;[73][178][179] they were also awarded Best Rock Song for "Seven Nation Army", Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Icky Thump", and Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package for Under Great White Northern Lights.[180] From the MTV Video Music Awards, "Fell in Love with a Girl" won Breakthrough Video, Best Visual Effects and Best Editing, "Seven Nation Army" won Best Editing, and "Conquest" won Best Cinematography.[181][182][183] White Blood Cells and Elephant both appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time".[68]

White Stripes' songs in media edit

In 2007, British choreographer Wayne McGregor used music by the White Stripes for his production Chroma, a piece he created for The Royal Ballet in London, England.[184][185] The orchestral arrangements for Chroma were commissioned by Richard Russell, head of XL Recordings, as a gift to the White Stripes and were produced by the British classical composer Joby Talbot. Three of these songs, "The Hardest Button to Button", "Aluminium" and "Blue Orchid", were first played to the band as a surprise in Cincinnati Music Hall, Ohio.[186][187] McGregor heard the orchestral versions and decided to create a ballet using the music. Talbot re-orchestrated the music for the Royal Opera House orchestra, also writing three additional pieces of his own composition. The world premiere of the ballet took place on November 16, 2006, at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London. The ballet subsequently won the 2007 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production.[188]

The song "Why Can't You Be Nicer to Me?" was used in The Simpsons episode "Judge Me Tender" in 2010. The Academy Award-winning 2010 movie, The Social Network featured "Ball and Biscuit" in the opening scene.[189] The song "Icky Thump" was featured in the 2010 film The Other Guys, and in Zack Snyder's Justice League in 2021.[190][191][192][193] The song "Catch Hell Blues" is featured in the 2011 film Footloose, a remake of the 1984 film.[194][195] The song "Little Ghost" appears in the post credits scene for the 2012 Laika studios film, ParaNorman.[196] The songs "Hello Operator" and "Fell in Love with a Girl" were featured in the Academy Award-winning 2012 film Silver Linings Playbook.[197] In 2013, several songs by the White Stripes were featured in the first season of the television series Peaky Blinders.[198][199] The song "Apple Blossom" was featured in the 2015 Quentin Tarantino film The Hateful Eight.[200] The song "We're Going to Be Friends" appeared in the films Wonder in 2017 and Mr. Harrigan's Phone in 2022.[201][202] The song "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself" was featured in a 2023 advertising campaign for Calvin Klein.[203]

In 2010, a Super Bowl ad by the U.S. Air Force Reserve caused the White Stripes to "take strong insult and objection to the Air Force Reserve presenting this advertisement with the implication that we licensed one of our songs to encourage recruitment during a war that we do not support."[204] During the campaigning for the 2016 United States presidential election, then Republican candidate Donald Trump used "Seven Nation Army" in a campaign video against the Stripes' wishes. Jack and Meg made a joint post on the White Stripes Facebook page stating that they were "disgusted by this association, and by the illegal use of their song" and that they had "nothing whatsoever to do with this video".[205] They also released a limited edition T-shirt referred that read "Icky Trump" on the front, which was wordplay on Trump's last name.[206][207]

where she worked and where he would read his poetry at open mic nights 2 The two became friends and began to frequent the coffee shops local music venues and record stores of the area 3 By this time Gillis was already playing drums with musician friends including his upholstery apprenticeship mentor Brian Muldoon 4 5 In 1994 he got his first professional job as the drummer for the Detroit cowpunk band Goober amp the Peas 6 7 8 After dating for several years Gillis and White married on September 21 1996 9 10 Contrary to convention he took his wife s surname 4 11 Shortly after Goober and the Peas broke up but Jack continued to play in other bands such as the garage punk band the Go he played lead guitar on their 1999 album Whatcha Doin the Hentchmen and Two Star Tabernacle On Bastille Day 1997 12 Meg started learning to play the drums In Jack s words When she started to play drums with me just on a lark it felt liberating and refreshing There was something in it that opened me up 4 The couple then became a band and while they considered calling themselves Bazooka and Soda Powder 13 they settled on the White Stripes 14 Jack explained the name s origin Meg loves peppermints and we were going to call ourselves the Peppermints But since our last name was White we decided to call it the White Stripes It revolved around this childish idea the ideas kids have because they are so much better than adult ideas right 15 From the beginning they established certain motifs publicly pretending to be brother and sister 16 outfitting their production in only black red and white 17 and heavily using the number three 18 White has explained that they used these colors to distract from the fact that they were young white musicians playing black music 19 They were also noted for their lack of a bass player and their general refusal to be interviewed separately 20 18 The White Stripes had their first live performance on August 14 1997 at the Gold Dollar bar in Detroit 21 They began their career as part of the Michigan underground garage rock scene playing with local bands such as the Hentchmen the Dirtbombs the Gories and Rocket 455 22 In 1998 Dave Buick owner of an independent Detroit based garage punk label called Italy Records approached the band at a bar and asked if they would like to record a single 23 Jack initially declined believing it would be too expensive but he eventually reconsidered when he realized that Buick was offering to pay for it 24 Their debut single Let s Shake Hands was released on vinyl in February 1998 with an initial pressing of 1 000 copies 25 This was followed in October 1998 by the single Lafayette Blues which again was only released on vinyl with 1 000 copies 26 In 1999 the White Stripes signed with the California based label Sympathy for the Record Industry 27 17 In March 1999 they released the single The Big Three Killed My Baby followed by their debut album The White Stripes on June 15 1999 27 The self titled debut was produced by Jack and engineered by American music producer Jim Diamond at his Ghetto Recorders studio in Detroit 28 The album was dedicated to the seminal Mississippi Delta blues musician Son House an artist who influenced Jack 18 29 The track Cannon from The White Stripes contains part of an a cappella version as performed by House of the traditional American gospel blues song John the Revelator The White Stripes also covered House s song Death Letter on their follow up album De Stijl Looking back on their debut during a 2003 interview with Guitar Player Jack said I still feel we ve never topped our first album It s the most raw the most powerful and the most Detroit sounding record we ve made 30 AllMusic said of the album 27 Jack White s voice is a singular evocative combination of punk metal blues and backwoods while his guitar work is grand and banging with just enough lyrical touches of slide and subtle solo work Meg White balances out the fretwork and the fretting with methodical spare and booming cymbal bass drum and snare All D I Y punk country blues metal singer songwriting duos should sound this good At the end of 1999 the White Stripes released Hand Springs as a 7 split single with fellow Detroit band the Dirtbombs on the B side 2 000 copies came free with the pinball fanzine Multiball The record is currently like the majority of vinyl records by the White Stripes out of print and difficult to find 2000 2002 De Stijl and White Blood Cells edit nbsp The White Stripes at Club Shinjuku Jam Tokyo in 2000 where they played to an audience of 10 20 people in their first Japanese tour Jack and Meg divorced in March 2000 31 The White Stripes were scheduled to perform at a local music lounge soon after they separated Jack assumed the band was over and asked Buick and nephew Ben Blackwell to perform with him in the slot that had been booked for the White Stripes However the day they were supposed to perform Meg convinced Jack that the White Stripes should continue and the band reunited 32 The White Stripes second album De Stijl Dutch for The Style was released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label on June 20 2000 33 Considered a cult classic 34 and self recorded on an 8 track analog tape in Jack s living room 35 36 De Stijl displays the simplicity of the band s blues and scuzzy garage rock fusion prior to their breakthrough success 37 The album title derives from the Dutch art movement of the same name 37 common elements of the De Stijl aesthetic are demonstrated on the album cover which sets the band members against an abstract background of rectangles and lines in red black and white 18 The White Stripes cited the minimalist and deconstructionist aspects of De Stijl design as a source of inspiration for their own musical image and presentation 38 The album was dedicated to furniture designer and architect Gerrit Rietveld of the De Stijl movement as well as to the influential Georgia bluesman Blind Willie McTell 39 De Stijl eventually reached number 38 on Billboard Magazine s Independent Albums chart in 2002 around the time the White Stripes popularity began establishing itself One New York Times critic at the time said that the Stripes typified what many hip rock fans consider real music 40 Party of Special Things to Do was released as a 7 on Sub Pop in December 2000 41 It comprised three songs originally performed by Captain Beefheart an experimental blues rock musician The White Stripes third album White Blood Cells was released on July 3 2001 on Sympathy for the Record Industry 42 The band enjoyed its first significant success the following year with the major label re release of the album on V2 Records 43 44 Its stripped down garage rock sound drew critical acclaim in the UK and in the US soon afterward making the White Stripes one of the most acclaimed bands of 2002 21 43 Several outlets praised their back to basics approach 45 46 with Daily Mirror calling them the greatest band since The Sex Pistols 47 In 2002 Q magazine listed the White Stripes as one of 50 Bands to See Before You Die 48 After their first appearance on network TV a live set on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn Joe Hagan of The New York Times declared They have made rock rock again by returning to its origins as a simple primitive sound full of unfettered zeal 49 White Blood Cells peaked at number 61 on the Billboard 200 reaching Gold record status by selling over 500 000 albums It reached number 55 in the United Kingdom 50 being bolstered in both countries by the single Fell in Love with a Girl and its accompanying Lego animation music video directed by Michel Gondry 20 The video won three awards at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards Breakthrough Video Best Special Effects and Best Editing and the band played the song live at the event 12 It was also nominated for Video of the Year but fell short of winning 51 Stylus Magazine rated White Blood Cells as the fourteenth greatest album of 2000 2005 52 while Pitchfork Media ranked it eighth on their list of the top 100 albums from 2000 to 2004 53 In 2002 George Roca produced and directed a concert film about the band titled Nobody Knows How to Talk to Children 54 It chronicles the White Stripes four night stand at New York City s Bowery Ballroom in 2002 and contains live performances and behind the scenes footage Its 2004 release was suppressed by the band s management however after they discovered that Roca had been showing it at the Seattle Film Festival without permission 55 According to the band the film was not up to the standards our fans have come to expect 55 even so it remains a highly prized bootleg 56 2003 2006 Elephant and Get Behind Me Satan edit The White Stripes fourth album Elephant was recorded in 2002 over the span of two weeks with British recording engineer Liam Watson at his Toe Rag Studios in London 57 Jack self produced the album with antiquated equipment including a duct taped 8 track tape machine and pre 1960s recording gear 57 In a 2017 interview with The New Yorker Jack said We had no business being in the mainstream We assumed the music we were making was private in a way We were from the scenario where there are fifty people in every town Something about us was beyond our control though Now it s five hundred people now it s a second night what is going on Is everybody out of their minds 17 Elephant was released in 2003 on V2 in the US and on XL Recordings in England 17 58 It marked the band s major label debut and was their first UK chart topping album as well as their first US Top 10 album at number six 17 The album eventually reached double platinum certification in Britain 59 and platinum certification in the United States 60 Elephant garnered critical acclaim upon its release 21 It received a perfect five out of five star rating from Rolling Stone magazine and enjoys a 92 percent positive rating on Metacritic 61 62 AllMusic said the album sounds even more pissed off paranoid and stunning than its predecessor Darker and more difficult than White Blood Cells 63 Elephant was notable for Jack s first guitar solos and critics also praised Meg s drumming 64 65 Rolling Stone placed Jack at number 17 on its list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time and included Meg on its list of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time 66 67 Elephant was ranked number 390 on the magazine s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time 68 In 2009 the album came in at number 18 in NME s Top 100 Greatest Albums of the decade NME referred to the album as the pinnacle of the White Stripes time as a band and one of Jack White s best works of his career 69 70 The album s first single Seven Nation Army was the band s most successful and topped the Billboard rock charts 71 Its success was followed with a cover of Burt Bacharach s I Just Don t Know What to Do with Myself The album s third single was the successful The Hardest Button to Button 72 There s No Home for You Here was the fourth single In 2004 the album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album while Seven Nation Army won a Grammy for Best Rock Song 73 Also in 2004 the band released its first music film Under Blackpool Lights which was shot entirely on super 8 film and was directed by Dick Carruthers 74 75 nbsp The White Stripes performing in 2005 In 2005 Jack began working on songs for the band s next album at his home 76 He played with different techniques than in past albums trading in his electric guitar for an acoustic on all but a few of the tracks as his trademark riff based lead guitar style is overtaken by a predominantly rhythmic approach 77 The White Stripes fifth album Get Behind Me Satan was released in 2005 on the V2 label 78 The title is an allusion to a Biblical quotation Jesus made to the Apostle Simon Peter from the Gospel of Matthew 16 23 of the New Testament in the King James Version the quotation is slightly different Get thee behind me Satan 79 Another theory about this title is that Jack and Meg White read James Joyce s story collection Dubliners published 1914 and used a line from the final story The Dead to title this album The title is also a direct quotation from Who bassist John Entwistle s solo song You re Mine With its reliance on piano driven melodies and experimentation with marimba on The Nurse and Forever For Her Is Over For Me Get Behind Me Satan did not feature the explicit blues and punk styles that dominated earlier White Stripes albums 80 However despite this the band was critically lauded for their fresh arty reinterpretations of their classic inspirations 78 It has garnered positive reactions from fans as well as critical acclaim receiving more Grammy nominations as well as making them one of the must see acts of the decade 81 82 Rolling Stone ranked it the third best album of the year 83 and it received the Grammy for Best Alternative Music Album in 2006 Three singles were released from the album the first being Blue Orchid a popular song on satellite radio and some FM stations 84 85 The second and third singles were My Doorbell and The Denial Twist respectively and music videos were made for the three singles My Doorbell was nominated for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal 86 The White Stripes postponed the Japanese leg of their world tour after Jack strained his vocal cords with doctors

against the band and Third Man Records for breach of contract 89 In the suit he claimed that as the co producer mixer and editor on the band s debut album and mixer and engineer on De Stijl he was due royalties for mechanical rights 89 90 The band filed a counterclaim on May 16 of that year requesting damages against Diamond and an official court declaration denying him rights to the material 89 Diamond lost the suit with the jury determining that he was not instrumental in crafting the band s sound 90 The White Stripes released a cover version of Tegan and Sara s song Walking with a Ghost on iTunes in November 2005 The song was later released in December as the Walking with a Ghost EP featuring four other live tracks 91 In October 2006 it was announced on the official White Stripes

Nunavut and Northwest Territories In the words of Jack Having never done a tour of Canada Meg and I thought it was high time to go whole hog We want to take this tour to the far reaches of the Canadian landscape From the ocean to the permafrost The best way for us to do that is ensure that we perform in every province and territory in the country from the Yukon to Prince Edward Island Another special moment of this tour is the show which will occur in Glace Bay Nova Scotia on July 14 the White Stripes Tenth Anniversary Canadian fiddler Ashley MacIsaac opened for the band at the at the Savoy Theatre Glace Bay show earlier in 2007 MacIsaac and Jack had discovered that they were distantly related 103 It was also at this time that White learned he was related to Canadian fiddle player Natalie MacMaster 104 nbsp The White Stripes giving an impromptu show for fans on a bus in Winnipeg Manitoba in 2007 On June 24 2007 just a few hours before their concert at Deer Lake Park the White Stripes began their cross Canada tour by playing a 40 minute set for a group of 30 kids at the Creekside Youth Centre in Burnaby The Canadian tour was also marked by concerts in small markets 13

conclusion of the Canadian dates they embarked on a brief U S leg of their tour which was to be followed by a break before more shows in the fall 13 But before their last show in Southaven Mississippi Ben Blackwell Jack s nephew and the group s archivist says that Meg approached him and said This is the last White Stripes show He asked if she meant of the tour but she responded No I think this is the last show period 13 On September 11 2007 the band announced the cancellation of 18 tour dates due to Meg s struggle with acute anxiety 87 A few days later the duo canceled the remainder of their 2007 UK tour dates as well 107 In his review of Under Great White Northern Lights for Vanity Fair Bill Bradley commented on the tour cancellations saying that it was impossible not to see Meg as road weary and worn out at the end of the film 108 The band was on hiatus from late 2007 to early 2011 While on hiatus Jack formed a group called The Dead Weather although he insisted that the White Stripes remained his top priority 109 Dominique Payette a Quebecois radio host sued the band for 70 000 in 2008 for sampling 10 seconds of her radio show in the song Jumble Jumble without permission 110 The matter was ultimately settled out of court 111 2009 2011 Final years and breakup edit They performed live for the first time since September 2007 on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O Brien on February 20 2009 where they performed an alternate version of We re Going to Be Friends 112 113 In an article dated May 6 2009 with MusicRadar com Jack mentioned recording songs with Meg before the Conan gig had taken place saying We had recorded a couple of songs at the new studio About a new White Stripes album Jack said It won t be too far off Maybe next year Jack also explained Meg s acute anxiety during the Stripes last tour saying I just came from a Raconteurs tour and went right into that so I was already full speed Meg had come from a dead halt for a year and went right back into that madness Meg is a very shy girl a very quiet and shy person To go full speed from a dead halt is overwhelming and we had to take a break 114 The Conan gig proved to be their final live performance as a band In 2009 Jack reported that the White Stripes were working on their seventh album 115 116 A concert film Under Great White Northern Lights premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 18 2009 117 118 119 The film directed by Emmett Malloy documents the band s summer 2007 tour across Canada and contains live concert and off stage footage 120 Jack and Meg White appeared at the premiere and made a short speech before the movie started about their love of Canada and why they chose to debut their movie in Toronto 121 The tour was in support of the album Icky Thump and they performed in every province 122 Jack conceived the idea of touring Canada after learning that Scottish relatives on his father s side had lived for a few generations in Nova Scotia before relocating to Detroit to work in the car factories 123 Additionally their 10th anniversary occurred during the tour on the day of their show at the at the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay Nova Scotia 122 and in this shot Jack and Meg are dancing at the conclusion of the concert The film was directed by a friend of the duo Emmett Malloy 124 In an interview with Self Titled Jack alluded to the creation of a White Stripes film Under Nova Scotian Lights to be released later in 2009 125 In an interview with contactmusic com Jack claimed that working with the White Stripes would be strange It would definitely be strange to go into the White Stripes again and have to rethink my game adding But that would be the best thing about it because it would be a whole new White Stripes 126 In November 2010 the White Stripes contributed a previously released cover version of the song Rated X to the compilation album Coal Miner s Daughter A Tribute To Loretta Lynn 127 In late 2010 the White Stripes reissued their first three albums on Third Man Records on a 180 gram vinyl along with 500 limited edition split colored records to accompany it 128 129 Jack hinted at a possible White Stripes reunion in a 2010 interview with Vanity Fair He said We thought we d do a lot of things that we d never done a full tour of Canada a documentary coffee table book live album a boxed set Now that we ve gotten a lot of that out of our system Meg and I can get back in the studio and start fresh 130 On February 2 2011 the duo announced that they had officially ceased recording and performing music as the White Stripes The announcement specifically denied any artistic differences or health issues but cited a myriad of reasons mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band 131 132 In a 2014 interview Jack told Rolling Stone that Meg viewed me that way of Oh big deal you did it so what Almost every single moment of the White Stripes was like that We d be working in the studio and something amazing would happen I m like Damn we just broke into a new world right there And Meg s sitting in silence 133 134 He later apologized and praised Meg nonetheless stating that She was the antithesis of a modern drummer So childlike and incredible and inspiring All the not talking didn t matter because onstage Nothing I do will top that 134 Artistry editMusical style edit The White Stripes have been described as garage rock 135 136 blues rock 135 alternative rock 136 punk blues 137 and indie rock 138 They emerged from Detroit s active garage rock revival scene of the late 1990s and early 2000s 12 Their contemporaries included bands such as The Von Bondies The Dirtbombs The Detroit Cobras and other bands that Jack included on a compilation album called Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit which was recorded in his living room 12 The band was influenced by blues musicians including Son House Blind Willie McTell and Robert Johnson garage rock bands such as The Gories and The Sonics 139 the Detroit protopunk sound of bands like the MC5 and The Stooges in addition to groups like The Cramps The Velvet Underground and the early Los Angeles punk blues band The Gun Club Jack has stated on numerous occasions that the blues is the dominant influence on his songwriting and the roots of the band s music stating that he feels it is so sacred that playing it does not do it justice Of The Gun Club s music in particular Jack said Sex Beat She s Like Heroin To Me and For The Love Of Ivy why are these songs not taught in schools 140 Heavy blues rock bands such as AC DC and Led Zeppelin have also influenced the band as Jack has claimed that he can t trust anybody who doesn t like Led Zeppelin 141 Traditional country music such as Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn 4 rockabilly acts like the Flat Duo Jets 4 Wanda Jackson and Gene Vincent the surf rock of Dick Dale and folk music like Lead Belly and Bob Dylan have also influenced the band s sound 142 Meg has said one of her all time favorite musicians is Bob Dylan 143 Jack has performed live with him and has claimed I ve got three fathers my biological dad God and Bob Dylan 144 Instruments and equipment edit nbsp nbsp The White Stripes signature instruments were the JB Hutto Montgomery Airline guitar and Ludwig Drums with Paiste cymbals The White Stripes were notable for having only two musicians limiting the instruments they could play live 145 Jack the principal writer said that this was not a problem and that he always centered the band around the number three Everything was vocals guitar and drums or vocals piano and drums 4 Fans and critics drew comparisons between Jack s prowess on the guitar and Meg s simplistic reserved drumming 40 The band additionally drew attention for their preference for antiquated recording equipment In a 2001 New York Times concert review Ann Powers noted that Jack s ingenious playing was constrained by Meg s deliberately undeveloped approach and that he created more challenges by playing an acoustic guitar with paper taped over the hole and a less than high quality solid body electric 40 With few exceptions Jack displayed a continued partiality towards amps and pedals from the 1960s 43 Jack used a number of effects to create his sound such as a DigiTech Whammy IV to reach pitches that would be otherwise impossible with a regular guitar 146 When performing live Jack used a Randy Parsons custom guitar a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Airline a Harmony Rocket a 1970s Crestwood Astral II and a 1950s Kay Hollowbody Also while playing live he used an MXR Micro Amp Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi distortion sustainer and an Electro Harmonix POG a polyphonic octave generator He also used a Boss TU 2 tuner pedal He plugged this setup into a 1970s Fender Twin Reverb and two 100 Watt Sears Silvertone 1485 amplifiers paired with two 6x10 Silvertone cabinets 147 In addition to standard guitar tuning Jack also used several open tunings He also played other instruments such as a black F Style Gibson mandolin Rhodes bass keys and a Steinway piano He played a custom made red and white marimba on The Nurse Forever for Her Is Over for Me as well as on the non album tracks Who s A Big Baby and Top Special Meg s minimalistic drumming style was a prominent part of the band s sound Meg never had formal drum lessons She played Ludwig Drums with Paiste cymbals and says her pre show warm up consisted of whiskey and Red Bull 148 Jack downplayed criticisms of her style insisting I never thought God I wish Neil Peart was in this band It s kind of funny When people critique hip hop they re scared to open up for fear of being called racist But they re not scared to open up on female musicians out of pure sexism Meg is the best part of this band It never would have worked with anybody else because it would have been too complicated It was my doorway to playing the blues 4 Of her playing style Meg herself said I appreciate other kinds of drummers who play differently but it s not my style or what works for this band I get criticism sometimes and I go through periods where it really bothers me But then I think about it and I realize that this is what is really needed for this band And I just try to have as much fun with it as possible I just know the way Jack plays so well at this point that I always know kind of what he s going to do I can always sense where he s going with things just by the mood he s in or the attitude or how the song is going Once in a while he throws me for a loop but I can usually keep him where I want him 148 Although Jack was the lead vocalist Meg did sing lead vocals In the Cold Cold Night from Elephant 146 and Passive Manipulation from Get Behind Me Satan among other tracks She also accompanied Jack on the songs Your Southern Can Is Mine from their album De Stijl Hotel Yorba and This Protector from their album White Blood Cells on You Don t Know What Love Is You Just Do as You re Told and Rag amp Bone from their album Icky Thump 149 Rated X 150 and also sang alongside Jack and Holly Golightly on the song It s True That We Love One Another from the album Elephant 151 Recording sessions and live performances edit Several White Stripes recordings were completed rapidly White Blood Cells was recorded in less than 4 days and Elephant was recorded in about two weeks in London s Toe Rag Studio 21 Their 2005 follow up Get Behind Me Satan was likewise recorded in just two weeks For live shows the White Stripes were known for Jack s employment of heavy distortion as well as audio feedback and overdrive The duo performed considerably more recklessly and unstructured live never preparing set lists for their shows believing that planning too closely would ruin the spontaneity of their performances 152 Other affectations included Jack using two microphones onstage 40 Public image editAesthetics edit nbsp The White Stripes exclusively donned red white and black colors in public appearances and performances The White Stripes had a carefully constructed image built around lore they created for themselves and visual motifs Early in their history they turned down a potential deal with Chicago label Bobsled because the label wanted to put its green logo on the CD 13 Their presentation was a subject of intrigue among the public and in the media They made exclusive use of a red white and black color scheme when conducting virtually all professional duties from album art to the clothes worn during live performances 4 Jack told Rolling Stone in 2005 that The White Stripes colors were always red white and black It came from peppermint candy I also think they are the most powerful color combination of all time from a Coca Cola can to a Nazi banner Those colors strike chords with people In Japan they are honorable colors When you see a bride in a white gown you immediately see innocence in that Red is anger and passion It is also sexual And black is the absence of all that 4 He also explained that they aspired to invoke an innocent childishness without any intention of irony or humor 12 Meg said that like a uniform at school you can just focus on what you re doing because everybody s wearing the same thing 18 The media and fans alike varied between intrigue and skepticism at the band s appearance and presentation Andy Gershon president of the V2 label at the time of their signing was reluctant to sign them saying They need a bass player they ve got this red and white gimmick and the songs are fantastic but they ve recorded very raw how is this going to be on radio 12 In a 2002 Spin magazine article Chuck Klosterman wondered how can two media savvy kids posing as brother and sister wearing Dr Seuss clothes represent blood and bones Detroit a city whose greatest resource is asphalt 12 However in 2001 Benjamin Nugent with TIME magazine commented that it s hard to begrudge Jack his right to nudge the spotlight toward his band and away from his private life by any means available Even at the expense of the truth 153 Klosterman also commented that his songs about getting married in cathedrals walking to kindergarten and guileless companionship are performed with an almost naive certitude 154 Portrayal as siblings edit Early in their career the band provided various descriptions of their relationship Jack claimed that he and Meg were siblings the youngest two of ten 12 As the story went they became a band when on Bastille Day 1997 Meg went to the attic of their parents home and began to play on Jack s drum kit 12 This claim was widely believed and repeated despite rumors that they were or had been husband and wife 155 156 In 2001 proof of their 1996 marriage emerged 157 158 as well as evidence that the couple had divorced in March 2000 just before the band gained widespread attention 159 160 Even so they continued to insist publicly that they were brother and sister 161 In a 2005 interview with Rolling Stone magazine Jack claimed that this open secret was intended to keep the focus on the music rather than the couple s relationship When you see a band that is two pieces husband and wife boyfriend and girlfriend you think Oh I see When they re brother and sister you go Oh that s interesting You care more about the music not the relationship whether they re trying to save their relationship by being in a band 162 Other activities edit Jack and Meg White appeared in Jim Jarmusch s film Coffee and Cigarettes in 2003 163 164 in a segment entitled Jack Shows Meg His Tesla Coil This particular segment contains extensions of White Stripes motifs such as childhood innocence and Nikola Tesla 165 They appeared in the 2005 documentary The Fearless Freaks which covers the band The Flaming Lips 166 The band appeared as themselves in The Simpsons episode Jazzy and the Pussycats in 2006 167 Meg had previously expressed interest in a Simpsons role in 2003 saying that A guest appearance would be amazing I wouldn t want to be in a Lisa episode They re kind of boring Maybe a Homer one would be better 168 169 Jack is one of three guitarists featured in the 2009 documentary It Might Get Loud and Meg appears in segments that include the White Stripes 170 Legacy editAchievements edit Main article List of awards and nominations received by the White Stripes The critical and commercial success of the

candidate Donald Trump used Seven Nation Army in a campaign video against the Stripes wishes Jack and Meg made a joint post on the White Stripes Facebook page stating that they were disgusted by this
