Steve McDonald of US “hardcore-turned-power-pop funsters” Redd Kross has made himself the bass player of the White Stripes, without being asked. He had posted some MP3s on his website www.reddkross.com that combine his bass playing with existing White Stripes recordings. Also included is the cover of the band’s ‘White Blood Cells’ album with McDonald superimposed on and the title "Redd Blood Cells". McDonald told reporters: "It's not as if I wanted to take a shot at a band that dared make my instrument irrelevant. I really love their approach, so I just see this as taking being a fan to another dimension. I went to see the White Stripes in LA,” he continued, “and I met Jack who gave me his blessing 100 percent."
