Jack White Defends Meg

2010-03-19 by Prophet178 | 70 Comments
In a recent interview Jack White spoke out about the criticism his ex-wfie and drummer Meg White. Jack White explained that Meg chooses a minimalistic approach to drumming to avoid over-complication, and added that she has inspired many to pick up the drums.

"Her femininity and extreme minimalism are too much to take for some metalheads and reverse-contrarian hipsters,"

"She can do what those with 'technical prowess' can't. She inspires people to bash on pots and pans. For that, they repay her with gossip and judgement."


White also added:

"In the end she's laughing all the way to the Prada handbag store, she wins every time."

I've always thought she is underrated. Just like Ringo, they play what fits the music and nothing more.

Minimalism means you can't play instruments

You can't pick up drums, you sit down at them

Hipsters do not care about musicianship. They exalt Vivian Girls and Wavves, some of the most abhorrent bands known to man.

Wavves would be great, if it didn't sound like he was purposely fucking up the production and sound.

Drumming? I don't care, the band sucks.

But who remembers the final Late Night With Conan episode? White Stripes played that "friends" song acoustic with Meg White attempting to play guitar and sing harmonies with Jack. It honestly looked like she was retarded.

Enjoy your Prada Bag you autistic whore

anyone that says Meg is a shitty drummer is just ignorant. she doesn't play to be the best, she plays to carry a beat for the song. jack needs her on drums like how classic blues needed a very simple bass riff.
minimalistic drumming is key to making Jack's guitar stand out.

minimalism does not = shit
just like how
complexity does not = brilliance

Minimalism works, defending a subpar drummer does not.

It's appropriate for the music they write.. Don't know why he has to defend her.

Also,
"i hope she is in the next church i devour in flames."

The general idea I get from this is that White Stripes fans are defensive morons and that if someone is making money at doing something they're bad at, I have no place criticizing them.
