mommy
Women are sexual objects
I'd stand with her in the shower
Her drumming was objectively poor to mediocre. Saying otherwise is simply lying.
your mom's drumming is poor
Got his ass.
>complex=good
>simple=bad
Yes, if you're a professional and your drum parts are equivalent to what a beginner drummer would play then you are a shit drummer.
You'll never be able to make money with music. How does it feel?
And yet it's an improvement over good drumming
Listen I know you want to fuck meg but that's never going to happen so you can stop simping for her shitty drumming.
Feels bad, anon. I could have played an instrument as poorly as she did while making money. Oh well, I guess I'm just not cut out for being a hack.
It's not controversial to shit on Meg White but she has always been a better drummer than people give her credit for. The entire idea is that she plays slop. Listen to fucking Jack White's guitar playing during that white stripes basement show. It's terrible but it's rock and roll. These guys are just playing the blues. If you are trying to fud on Meg White in 2023 then you don't actually have anything to say.
no
i can say that the drumming is simplistic, not excellent, not really interesting, that her set used triggers and whatever else
i still like meg and the white stripes and appreciate her brand of minimalist maximalism. shes not moe tucker. but shes a certain 'just enough' player which i am happy to enjoy and support. the drums are a very powerful sonic instrument. she lets that power shine, really. so you can acknowledge the total situation. the dumb ass writer should have done his job and done some good writing and not apologized in the face of the twitterati swarm. but whatever. lol who the fuck uses twiter?
I'm keeping abreast of the news until I form an opinion.
Had to google what this was all about
>journalist Lachlan Markay insulted the trailblazing drummer in a tweet that has been widely condemned by fans, music critics and artists alike.
>“The tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would’ve been with a half-decent drummer,” Markay tweeted. “I’m sorry Meg White was terrible and no band is better for having s— percussion.”
>After a resounding backlash, Markay deleted the unpopular tweet, walked back his remarks and apologized to White. He has since made his Twitter account private, so his tweets are now accessible only to his followers.
>In a follow-up tweet, Markay deemed his comments about White “over-the-top,” “truly awful in every way,” “petty,” “obnoxious” and “just plain wrong,” according to NME.
>“To Meg White: I am sorry. Really,” he added. “And to women in the music business generally, who I think are disproportionately subject to this sort of s—, I am sorry to have fed that as well. I’m really going to try to be more thoughtful in the future, both on here and off.”
>On Twitter, Roots drummer Questlove called Markay’s “troll” opinion “out of line af.”
>Another person who stood up for Meg White was Jack White’s ex-wife, singer-songwriter Karen Elson, who hailed the maligned percussionist as “a fantastic drummer” and revealed that Jack White once said “the White Stripes would be nothing without her.”
>“To the journalist who dissed her, keep my ex husband’s ex wife name out of your f— mouth. (Please and Thank You),” Elson tweeted.
Holy fucking Christ. You can't even express a simple edgy musical opinion without hordes of pearl clutchers explodng it into an international new story. We live in hell.
I think you're being a fucking idiot though, because all of those are edgy opinions about the edgy opinion. That's everyone's opinion and they are all expressing it openly. The only difference is that the guy felt bad and took it back.
If you talk shit about someone they respond, how is that somehow not understood?
u are a fag sir
>guy felt bad and took it back.
No he didn't you dumbfuck. His employers called him and told him to swiftly apologize or lose all your contracts for rest of your life.
Are you 12 or something?
Meg fucking sucks.
Thia dude is is a cuck though.

When are these fags going to learn that apologising after social media backlash never helps?
There have even been studies that show that apologising, particularly in a groveling way actually increases public antipathy and makes previously neutral people believe that you deserve to be attacked
>There have even been studies
link them please
So what's the best course of action
anti-streisand effect
Just fucking ignore it. it's really not rocket surgery. Did none of you have rumors spread about you in HS or in your youth? Ignoring it is the best way to make it go away.
Right. There's a study of people that survive crises. It's the people that can improve their situation that do better. And the people that do it the soonest are the people that live. Celebrity scandal is different to an ocean liner on fire, but sometimes doing something isn't a bad thing.
Saying 'Sorry' isn't such a big deal, I wouldn't of thought. If someone became more incensed after a genuine apology perhaps they don't deserve to be apologised to, type thing.
Do nothing
Didn't she get shat on specifically in School of Rock lol
Lol yes
Freddy:
I'm just saying, name two great chick drummers.
Katie:
Sheila E.? Meg White from the White Stripes?
Freddy:
[Freddy winces] She can't drum!
Katie:
She's a better drummer than you! At least she has rhythm.
Lmao they'd call that kid an alt right incel for saying that in 2023
>t. makes up an imaginary alternate version of a children's movie to get mad at
alright
NEVER APOLOGIZE
He wrote a dumb clickbait article fuck him it wasn't a genuine opinion. Like why would the white stripes be better with john Bonham or whatever they had a sound that was cool and people liked
>He wrote a dumb clickbait article fuck him it wasn't a genuine opinion.
It was a fucking tweet, my dude.
What a homosexual. First he has the wrong opinion but instead of committing to it he chickens out and apologizes to "meg and women in the music business generally" as if that has anything to do with anything.
Half a year ago I quit twitter by posting a string of racial slurs to get banned on purpose. I haven't regretted it for a second.
who?
Guy’s a fag for not standing behind his opinion. White is probably the shittiest drummer who ever got famous.
Yeah, I do. She never made herself out to be anything other than what she was. You can complain about some critics being pseudo-profound in how they elevated her rudimentary playing in which case go after the yuppie cunts, but Meg White literally didn't do anything wrong in all this. She just had a fun time playing drums with her Tim Burton's Willy Wonka husband-brother for a decade and then retired to do whatever. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, she's just an ordinary person who happened to have fame happen to her.
honestly feel bad for her. played in one of the greatest modern bands had to quit because she's too autistic to be famous and doesn't handle being in the spotlight well and a decade+ later she still has fucking "political commentators" and other retards insulting her for wailing on the drums like jack told her. if you listen to the white stripes and think "yeah this is nice but I wish the drumming was more complex", fuck off.
these
im gonna beat this guys ass for talking shit if i ever see him irl. please LULZ mods don't turn me in
dont post this pic
die antwoordt will come kidnap her no!
BIG
I have mixed feelings on this one, it's like saying multiple cup winner Chris Osgood was a bad goalie
Isn't Meg White basically a missing person? Nobody has heard from her in years cause she's a privacy-obsessed hermit.
I'd rather have her on her knees, sucking my cock and giving me a paizuri until I paint her in white stripes
She's not terrible, but she doesn't do anything I couldn't do and I don't play drums
That's the entire point
I missed the point. Is it that anyone can play drums?
The point is that anyone could play their music, it's not uhhhh elitist is the wrong word but it's music that's accessible to ordinary people & that was part of their pop appeal, it's fun, instinctual, primal rock music rather than musicians trying to impress people
actually she does
youd likely 'try'
whereas she just aint concerned
has anyone done rerecords of white stripes songs with new drum parts?
id like to hear what the white stripes would sound like with a better drummer
Then it wouldn't sound like the white stripes lol ffs
ok, i still want to hear it
just listen to the black keys
It's very dumb because people are arguing if she's a good drummer not if she was a good drummer in the white stripes which is all that fucking matters. Could she play in most other bands no, does that fucking matter no because she was in the white stripes not fucking rush.
"meg white cant drum" was a common criticism even back in the 00s, but i never really agreed with it. her drumming is simplistic but she keeps the time and it fits with the style of the music well. she does what she needs to do even if she's not some virtuoso neil peart god of drumming
she was an important part of the white stripes' sound and aesthetic
when she was actually having fun and enjoying herself it was pretty damn great
but only a sojj boy homosexual or a twitter feminist would imply that she was a great drummer
when I was in high school I had my sister play the drums for me while I played guitar
she was not into it but put up with it because I would take her for ice cream afterwards
meg always looks like she's just waiting for jack to take her for ice cream
posting in a faggy thread. u r all queers
I stand with Meg White and her brother Jack White in this conflict
Like, I wouldn't make too much of it.
it's called minimalism!!!
theres something about flash photography that puts me is serious rape mode
nice
No, but my penor stood for her sex tape.
Bitch cant drum for shit, but it fit the music sonce Jack white cant pla, for shit either. The two really did compliment each other that way and made it work. It was simple music for simple people hence why it sold so well.
I'd bang her drum if you can derive my meaning
I'd strike my mallet on her snare if you can extract my conception
I'd pedal her hihat if you can guess my gist
I'd play her kit in odd time signatures if you can dig it
>you will never practice paradiddles with a young Meg White
it hurts
>Meg White
Incredibly average drummer no on would ever have heard of if not for Jack White's songwriting skills. Do we really have to have this conversation or can we just accept basic principles?
Being honest about women is verboten
