The White Stripes in Rolling Stone: Interviews, Photos, Features and More
Rolling Stone first wrote about the White Stripes — who just announced that they’re breaking up — when we reviewed their second disc, De Stijl, in November of 2000. “If The Who played ‘Maximum R&B,’ then you could call The White Stripes’ music ‘minimum R&B,'” Jenny Eliscu wrote. “It’s blues-tinged rock & roll scaled back to its most essential elements — one guitar, a simple drum kit and sneering vocals.” Since then we’ve covered the White Stripes extensively, from naming them People of the Year in 2002 through their cover story in 2005 to their final tour in 2007.
