New But Old

My favorite music group is The White Stripes. I first discovered them while watching a movie called It Might Get Loud. The movie is about Jimmy Paige (the guitarist for Led Zeppelin), The Edge (the guitarist for U2), and Jack White (the guitarist and singer for The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather) meeting and talking about the guitar. After watching this movie I really started to enjoy every song that Jack White was a part of. His guitar playing was so amazing to me because he used the basics of the blues to create every song and still made his music modern through the use of effects. There really isn't any reason why I like The White Stripes better than the Dead Weather or The Raconteurs because anything Jack White is a part of is great. I think I just chose that group because it was the first major group that Jack White was a part of. I have enjoyed listening to Jack White since I was eleven or twelve, and I continue to listen to everything new that he puts out.
