Raconteurs played the MTV VMA's last night and were the only good thing about the show. Unfortunately, you could only get snippets as they kept cutting back to Jack Black and the rest of the very boring presentation.

Headline text

it REALLY DOESN'T sound like nirvana's nevermind-era. ~~isn't innovative like the white stripes, it's just old boring plain indie music, the only new thing is that Jack White is getting bald. is he going to quit WS?~~

Wiki is not really a place for opinions and stupid comments. Although you did have a valid first point concerning it sounded like Nevermind (a citation is needed in the main article) that is purley an opinion. The rest of your ramblings is not even worth commenting on. --Befuddled Steve 10:48, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well a citation for this can be found - but whether its appropraite or not im not sure. I think the quote refers to quality and potential impact, rahter than sound, by the way. Robdurbar 11:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Touring

Maybe I'm not getting this but are the scheduled dates really necessary? I can understand having the first ever dates they played (even the first couple dates per country), but not scheduled dates. Surely you would go to their site for the latest and up-to-date news/dates? --Befuddled Steve 16:41, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation

How do you pronounce this band's name? sharpdust 20:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rack-on-tours. It's a standard English word, which came from French. Notinasnaid 17:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! sharpdust 17:58, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the UK at least, it's Rack-on-ters, which is roughly the French pronunciation. Mumfie x 17:04, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Peak position US Modern Rock. I've seen numerous articles saying Steady as She Goes peaked at #2. I changed it to #2 and someone changed it back to #1. Could someone provide a source for this?

Sound like the Who to me even nicked a load of who riffs

Rack-on-tours. It's supposed to mean storyteller. That's what i read in a dictionary.

Boring Indie

The Rackeunteurs are just like the rest of Indie, ugly looking and no arena smashing anthems. Alternative used to be something but now its just crap.
