The dude in The White Stripes plays sloppy guitar with no technique and heavily depends on a massive array of digital effects. He butchers his own three cord songs.

I rarely post here, but you need to be called out on this. I hope as a drummer you know something about guitars... You said Jack White uses a "massive array of digital effects."
Wrong. He plays old guitars, old amps, and shuns digital crap. I think you have no idea what you are talking about, and are just bitter because you dislike their music. Pretty much everything you said is opinionated and non-factual.

Why don't you just say "I don't like their music" and leave it at that instead of trying to understand and break down something you obviously know very little about.

To further prove my point, in case you didn't know that Elephant was recorded in London at Toe Rag Studios, where there is not a digital piece of equipment at all. Everything there is analog, some of the sound boards are ones The Beatles recorded on.
So tell me how, when that obviously reflects on his choice of equipment and efforts to get an analog and natural sound, your saying he uses digital effects is valid? Their live sound doesn't even have an aspect to it that even sounds like digital effects. It's pretty much distorted guitar with overdrive and also in stereo.
