Tom Morello gives his opinion on White Stripes’ drummer Meg White
“I hear there’s some controversy on this matter lately so let me set fools straight: #MegWhite is one of the greatest drummers in the history of rock n roll. It’s not even a debate. There are a HANDFUL of drummers EVER who are INSTANTLY recognizable rocking their MANY HIT SONGS with Flavor, Fire & Flair. She’s on that list, bruh.”
“Does she do a lot a complicated tom tom fills? No, THANK GOD. She has style and swag and personality and oomph and taste and awesomeness that’s off the charts and a vibe that’s untouchable by all you boring-ass skin beaters who think we care about your ‘tight’ syncopated para-diddles. She is a FORCE and her records are forever step-stones on how to do it your own way while rocking the damn planet. @officialjackwhite knows too, so show some respect.” Tom Morello said.
The band was active from 1997 until 2011 and released six albums. They are: “The White Stripes” (1999), “De Stijl” (2000), “White Blood Cells” (2001), “Elephant” (2003), “Get Behind Me Satan” (2005) and “Icky Thump” (2007).
They had several hits like: “Seven Nation Army”, “Fell In Love With a Girl”, “Blue Orchid”, “We’re Going To Be Friends” and “Icky Thump”.
