Icky Thump vs. Sun Ra

RanaldoNecro · 03.03.2010, 03:20 PM

I was watching a White Stripes doc last night and noticed that the keys in Icky Thump seem to be influenced by Sun Ra..

Yes/No?

Pookie · 03.03.2010, 03:27 PM

Never mind that. You were watching a White Stripes documentary!!!???

Derek · 03.03.2010, 03:33 PM

I agree with Pookie.

atsonicpark · 03.03.2010, 03:35 PM

I was just talking today about how White stripes are one of the worst bands of all time.

Toilet & Bowels · 03.03.2010, 04:23 PM

yeah but you like korn and all that shite, not that i'm particularly fond of the white stripes but still.

!@#$%! · 03.03.2010, 04:31 PM

their version of jolene is pretty good

that one other also rocked in a pop sort of way, when they came out... it was better to hear than in a bar than, say, the dandy warhols

now they sound horrible, like some mike patton project

mr bungle, eat a bag of dikkks

Derek · 03.03.2010, 04:32 PM

The White Stripes are 100% shit. Not a good idea in that band at all... boring toss I think.

sun ra? wtf?? he must have been rolling in his grave as you wrote those words.

Derek · 03.03.2010, 04:54 PM

Anyone hear the Beefheart covers The White Stripes done? Shockingly awful.

Keeping It Simple · 03.03.2010, 04:56 PM

The Black Keys are better.

floatingslowly · 03.03.2010, 05:11 PM

I still listen to De Stilj from time to time, so you pricks can fuck right off.

automatic bzooty · 03.03.2010, 06:04 PM

severely doubtin' the sun ra influence. at least not a deliberate one.

i used to love me some stripes. haven't listened to them in a while. de stijl and elephant were/are pretty ace.

And? KoRn are unique. KoRn are talented. KoRn are interesting...

I've never personally met anyone who is passionate about the Stripes. You'll hear people go, "Oh, I like them".. you know, whatever, but I've NEVER heard anyone in my life really get into them... they're just shit.

As for their Beefheart covers, they're fucking terrible. Insulting, even.

ni'k · 03.03.2010, 06:56 PM

sun ra is the most overrated music ive ever heard.

atsonicpark · 03.03.2010, 07:43 PM

Sun Ra has some alright stuff but a lot of it is absolute garbage.

wellcharge · 03.03.2010, 07:50 PM

sun ra is not overrated. he's earned his god status in the avant-jazz scene but will be underrated overall until the jazz mainstream recognizes that he,along with many of his sidemen could play traditional jazz very well, it's an easy thing to aknowledge when there's hours and hours of recorded evidence.

we are currently on the site of a band who has released less good music and more crap than sun ra, and has acheived alot more accolades.

if they put sun ra on the dollar bill he'll be slightly overrated

phoenix · 03.03.2010, 08:28 PM

it's so easy to be a hater..

RanaldoNecro · 03.03.2010, 10:49 PM

severely doubtin' the sun ra influence. at least not a deliberate one.

For some reason I thought that there might have been a Detroit period in his musical life@#??

Lamont Cranston · 03.03.2010, 10:58 PM

are they still being sued for ripping off Citizen Kane?
