I don`t see too many bands making minimalist roots music right now.

I just think it`s a case of metal fans not understanding the concepts of minimalism & feeling.

I think its a case of Metal Fans coming in here and ruining a thread, not about the white stripes, but about the new white stripes. And so because Meg sucks at drumming or because the Unfan heard Led Zeppelin II, now we can't have a normal discussion. Should I go into their threads and regail them with the myriad of ****ty issues their bands should deal with, like I could slam a pan off the corpse of a racoon and be original but its still ****ty music????

Well to put it another way , The White Stripes is basically music that is stripped down to it`s barest essentials and simplicity is the key to it.At least thats how they are when I like them the best.
Given that most metal fans can spend endless debates on who is technically the best musician and not give songwriting a second thought I would have thought the appeal of the White Stripes would go over their heads a bit as it seems to be the total opposite of what they enjoy about music. Moe Tucker was a crap drummer too but I bet she influenced more people than 'insert power metal band here' ever did
