Dan Auerbach vs Jack White (1 Viewer)

He is a blast live- puts on one hell of a show

I'm in love with Meg, so I was watching her most of the time.

Valid point, she was cute. I actually have met 2 of his siblings. One is in some not good bands but also works for one of the top vintage musical equipment companies in the world and his sister is an incredibly respected special education director in wealthy suburb.

Both make great music. I give the edge to the Black Keys. Saw them live from side stage once. Weird angle sort of obstructed but really close. Never seen the Stripes.

I play guitar (not a maestro by any means) but I can definitely say, having seen jack white / white stripes many times, and hearing all their albums, that Jack is anything but a "mediocre" guitar player.

he's quite good. creativity wise, he's very good.

I play guitar too. Nothing he plays is technically or compositionally difficult. I still enjoy his creativity. I think one can be a mediocre musician but a creative genius. But to each his own.

the real essence of jack comes out in live performance, where he does plenty of jamming/off-the-cuff riffing that really showcases more of his talent.

creativity is where he really excels tho

My RC Cola pick: Black Pistol Fire.  Bruiser Brody on the drums pushes this over the top.

Like this better than the 1st even.

love the garage of it...like the stripes

I was always fond of Ball and Biscuit.

I'm a huge Jack White fan and I'm definitely biased so you have to take this with a huge grain of salt, that said I think you'll agree

Wow. Jack White is a guitar legend that writes riffs that get used as soccer chants worldwide. He builds his own guitars, presses his own vinyl, owns his own label, etc.

Yep

the last real rock star

“It Might Get Loud” is an awesome rainy day lazy Sunday watch. It’s also very good on weeknights, weekends, etc.

If you haven’t seen it (and I can’t imagine anyone in this thread who hasn’t), go. Very cool doc with three legends swapping stories and licks.

I forgot how Deetroit Jack was. He's more Detroit than even Em. 

Jack knows his #### from Shinola

So glad this thread is 1st page again.

(80's - listened to da links ya sent ya me. )

This is just an awesome video in my opinion - shouldn't surprise anyone that knows me - The Denial Twist

And, here is something live:

The Dead Weather - "Will There Be Enough Water" - Live from The Roxy

That's some damn fine guitar work

I've seen Jack a few times and it's always good but I haven't seen him come anywhere close to the insane energy of the early White Stripes shows. And that wasn't so much about his playing as his tones and the presentation of it all. The songs are good and he is a competent guitar player, but what he was doing was about energy, tension and tones. He's branched out and obviously did not want to become a one-trick pony, but that was his best trick. My first White Stripes show could be best described the way Milo Miles described Jerry Lee Lewis' Star Club release - a crime scene. That was kind of the feeling after that Mercury Lounge show. Like wtf did I just witness? And does that guy need a xanax?

I actually prefer Dan's work away from the Black Keys more than Jack's away from The White Stripes.

Great description- those shows were epic

Scored some great tickets to see Black Keys in October.

I'm almost as excited to see the opening act.  (Modest Mouse!!!)

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

I'm listening to this right now: White Stripes - Death Letter (Live - Blackpool)

And, since I have not been fair to the Black Keys, this is next on my list: 

Fun fact: Written about me - yes - me. (EDIT: NSFW)
