The Raconteurs is the end of The White Stripes?

I think The Raconteurs is going to end The White Stripes legend. Maybe Jack White will be busy with his new band, so he ignores the old one. Well, I hope not.

Hello children,

The White Stripes have just confirmed their return to the stage in 2007. Jack and Meg will be performing at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on June 17th in Manchester, Tennessee. Tickets go on sale exclusively through http://www.bonnaroo.com on Friday, February 23rd at 12:00 PM EST.

Thanks,

I guess not :P

Well, Raconteurs is not the end of White Stripes. Jack and Meg will release their new album in June :)

personally i think its a good thing...i thought The Raconteurs had some really good stuff, more of the soulful stuff i liked by the white stripes.

though the White Stripes' new stuff is fresh, its not the electric-driven blues rock that I like. a lot of what The Raconteurs put on on their first full album was really good (though admittedly some of it straight up sucked) and I think this will only get better

respek

Once again I disagree. All these bands are different! They're all on the same side and play different parts in telling the stories that Jack White and his various bandmates need to tell! The White Stripes is more of that childish sort of style. They can go from garage rock to an almost whimsical sort of childish style to dark and paranoid. The Raconteurs almost seem like the teen years of Jack White's bands if you think of it in those terms. Like the way Jack White acts in the bands while playing and the songs that he writes and plays. In The Raconteurs he seemed to have indulged himself a little more like anyone does when they're a teen. He got a couple of custom guitars and all that snazz. Then there's The Dead Weather who seem kind of like his adult years and that point in one's life where one questions things and that music is darker, heavier, he doesn't interact AS much with the audience. If any one of those bands disbanded I would be extremely sad. Besides, The White Stripes don't seem like they're quite ready to bite the proverbial dust quite yet, and I don't think they're planning to... So I hope that both bands stay together. Can't one multi-task?
