The White Stripes break up
http://pitchfork.com/news/41438-the-white-stripes-call-it-quits/
What do you guys think for those of you who are fans of the White Stripes?
The White Stripes have officially broken up. According to an announcement on their website,
"The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to
continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine
and in good health. It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to
preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay
that way."
The statement also mentions that Jack White's Third Man Records
label will continue to release unheard studio and live recordings from
the band through their Vault subscription club; it also expresses Meg
and Jack's wishes that "this decision isn't met with sorrow by their
fans but that it is seen both as a positive move done out of respect for
the art and music that the band has created," including the following
words from the duo themselves: "The White Stripes do not belong to Meg
and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do
with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can
last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this
experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly
grateful."

Lol yes for a short while I believe they sort of split up for a break but never permanent.

Re: The White Stripes break up
I haven't been this disappointed since I learned Kurt Cobain was dead when I first got into Nirvana. The White Stripes were incredibly talented and I don't believe they could ever wear out their welcome in the music scene. they're too original, and on-the-edge, it's really too bad they ended their career so shortly. everytime I think about their breakup now I feel like the girl Jack sings to in "A Martyr for My Love for You." I've done some research, and I guess part of the reason they broke up was for the fans, they didn't want to tarnish an incredibly successful career.

Re: The White Stripes break up
Not to mention that Jack is involved in so many other bands...it's not like they'll be falling off of the face of the earth.
Re: The White Stripes break up
Along with The Killers, Audioslave, The Strokes and others, they were one my favorite bands since 2000. What exactly do we call the decade of 2000 to 2009? The Thousands's?
