The White Stripes split

Saw them at Reading 2002, and then on the UK tour after that at the Wolves Civic late 2002/early 2003 not sure. Thought that was at their best time, went off them after that, so didn't bother seeing them again.

They were awesome for a twopiece though, their gig at the Civic was immense!

It's far better to leave people wanting more, than to get tired of you and wish you would stop because your best days are clearly behind you.

Look at how many bands are still going and how f**king shite they are compared to when they were on fire. You're only as good as your last fight, I suppose.

I get what you're saying, but tbh i'd rather take the risk of a band going shit then bowing out at their "peak". Take radiohead as an example, near on twenty years into their career and i'd still say that in rainbows stands up against anything else they've released.
