Jack White is proof of why Keith Relf was a good singer. Jack is decent and could b better, but it is grating on the ears when he does some falsetto. The original is heaven.

I'm friends of a lot of people who just happen to be in bands I hate. That means nothing. I'm not saying Jack hates U2 or implying that he and Edge don't get along. All I was talking about is that Jack has praised Zeppelin on various occasions in the past, and I never heard him mention U2 until It Might Get Loud. Also, Jack White is no fucking hack, so that kind of got under my skin.

@mussman717word - he IS a U2 fan... Jack & The Edge are friends.

I agree that an "arguement" that can't be won is not worth having. Here's your consolation prize.

[realdancerMN]

@mussman717word : This is not an arguement worth having. I did not force you to read my post. You did not have to reply. I did not push anything on anyone. You took personal offence. Don't bother making a return comment I will not respond. Get over it.

You do have a right to your opinion, so long as you present it as such. Jack White is not an impersonation of the blues, he is influenced by the blues, and punk rock, and folk music of all kinds. Apparently, you slept through the Stooges. Quit trying to push your stupid fucking opinions off as fact. That's all I'm saying. P.S. It's funny how you throw out those names as if I haven't heard of them before. You forgot Skip James, Lemon Jefferson, Son House, WIllie McTell, etc

[realdancerMN]

@mussman717word : First, I have a right to my opinion. Second, I have seen videos of Jack White and the White Stripes. Third, If White had an ounce of talent I would admit it. Fourth, Jeff Beck invented more memorable licks than Jack White ever learned. If you like raw blues and not an immitation listen to Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, etc. Go to the source, not some poor excuse of an immitator. Still NO SOUL!

Jack White has no soul!? Do me a favor. Step 1. Listen to Elephant. Step 2. Listen to Slash's last album. Fergie adds an extra dash of "soul" to the mix on that one.

I'm sure he was thinking that about Jimmy Page, but I honestly wouldn't pin Jack as a U2 fan.
