i dont imagine it will be quite 'spiritual', but i hear the put in a good live show. i think this most recent album will be harder to reproduce on stage though.

Their live shows are incredible. Their DVD was a very good performance, but also the 5 track Walking With a Ghost single disc had 4 live tracks on it that were very well done. As well there are a lot of torrents and such for live WS shows, got tons of them myself.

^ they have been divorced for a long time and quasi pretend to be brother and sister, and meg is not good. i mean she sounds good with him because she just does her job, but she is not very talented technically speaking.

White is known for his eccentric behavior, hobbies, and passions. For instance he has an obsession with the number three and all that it represents.

As one of the White Stripes, White has also created some sensation on and off the stage. The band (when on official duty) dresses only in red, white, and black, which Jack believes are the three most powerful colors in the universe. Arguably, the greatest topic of intrigue has been the actual relationship between Jack and Meg. In early interviews, the pair presented themselves as siblings, two of ten. However, the Detroit Free Press famously produced copies of not only their marriage licence, but divorce certificate, confirming their history as a married couple. Neither addresses the truth officially; however, over time, they have become less vocal about the origins of their relationship. Jack White has said, though, that siblings are "mated for life," and thus such relationships distract less from the music.[5]

White had a brief but highly publicized romantic relationship with actress Renée Zellweger, whom he met during the filming of Cold Mountain in 2003. White and Zellweger's breakup became public in December 2004.[23]

White unexpectedly married model Karen Elson (who appeared in the music video for the White Stripes song "Blue Orchid" directed by Floria Sigismondi) on June 1, 2005 in Manaus, Brazil, with manager Ian Montone as best man and Meg White as the maid of honor. Official wedding announcements stated that it was the first marriage for both.[24] On May 2, 2006, the couple had a daughter, named Scarlett Teresa White.[25] In 2006, it was revealed in the Sunday Times Rich List that White and Elson had a joint fortune of at least £20 million GBP (US$37 million). This ranked them at seventh place in the list of entertainers aged under 30 who were born or live in the United Kingdom, ahead of the likes of Orlando Bloom and Kate Winslet.[26]b[›] They are currently expecting their second child.[27]

White gives few interviews and reveals few details of his private life. He states that he does not consider it relevant to his art, saying "It's the same thing as asking Michelangelo, 'What kind of shoes do you wear?'...In the end, it doesn't really matter ... the only thing that's going to be left is our records and photos." [28]

White resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and child.[29]

although wikipedia is prone to bull****... things as popular as the white stripes get checked frequently enough to weed most out.

I'm going to the NEC in Birmingham and then two days later it's Arcade Fire, so that should be fun.

Cold War Kids are supporting them in the US, it would be pretty awesome if they did the same here.
