WS_Jack_III Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Okay had a few more listens with headphones on. It's funky, very funky and I like his vocals. I've heard the live version from the other day and prefer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like it. It's very, dare I say it, Prince inspired in places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo57 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Loving that new track looking forward to the album now! Would love to see him at Glastonbury resale pending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmorningspider Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 One London date, the week after Glasto is a bit shit. Maybe more announced, but presale is day after tomorrow so doubtful. Lazy bastard! Yeah, that Jack White. Such a bloody part-timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 One of the things I used to love about Prince was his sense of fun and lack of respect for musical conventions. It's hard to pin down, but Jack White, possibly for similar reasons, has often reminded me of bits of Prince. And since Prince hasn't been particularly daring for quite a while now, Jack (for me) has taken his place. Jack hasn't disappointed me for a long time now but... you're still saying that you'd be quite happy with the plausible Prince/Jack White/Robert Plant final 3 on the Pryamid Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tevaburger Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 haha.. Yea, that'd be pretty good (why the 'but' at the beginning?) your ever so slight 'slight' at the new Prince. even though you're well know on here for being a huge fan of his w/ some great Prince stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F. Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's not The White Stripes though. So, you're suggesting Meg White is the reason they got the headline slot? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think even Prince would struggle following Jack White these days Nah, I disagree. Depending on the crowd/setlist/band of course. I'd love for the two of them to do something together, particularly in a live environment.

The Nal Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Jack hasn't disappointed me for a long time now You didn't see The Dead Weather at Glasto then? But yeah hes constantly changing and trying new things which is always good. He'll go down a treat at the festival. Just as The White Stripes did. I was never a Prince fan really so don't get the comparison. Prince is a world class tit. A talented tit mind you but one of those American megastars who lived through a haze coke and money in the 80s and basically has lost complete touch with reality and thinks hes a modern day Apollo. Hes like a high budget version of Fr Eoin McLove from Father Ted. That 80s man-diva thing is so.....errr........80s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WS_Jack_III Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 the Jack White show I saw was one of the loudest gigs I've been too He recently admited to some hearing damage, dude isn't even 40 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Didn't see their special guest slot on the park in 09 - as some twat told me it was klaxons so I didn't walk up - but enjoyed dead weather on the pyramid the following year. I was leathered and basking in the Sun, mind. they were good on the Park I thought but since I only knew two songs (album wasn't out at the time) and it was weird seeing Jack on drums, I didn't feel as epic as other Jack shows. Seen The Dead Weather twice since (one was pyramid 2010) they were much better, second album being a better album helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, that's an intriguing way of dealing with hearing damage. Play very very very loud..! He said about the hearing damage when questioned about how loud his gigs are in some magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Stop getting white wrong!!!:-P The first raconteurs album is the best and the first dead weather album is the best. The second of both have more guitar w*nkery I'll grant you but are far less cohesive and both seem to be less collaborative and more like solo efforts put together - within the same song at times. seenYou are the one who is wrong Looking forward to the Lazaretto vs Blunderbuss argument come June.

WS_Jack_III Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well as the rule and formula clearly shows, if there are only two albums by a Jack white project, the first one is the best. This was also true of the white stripes when there were only two, but white blood cells trumped them. So therefore next year's dead weather album will beat the other two and make our argument irrelevant. Not that it isn't already.You are an insult to your avatar and a disgrace to your user name. ;-) off I agree that WBC is best of the first three Stripes albums, but Elephant topped that one.

DJL Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I find it difficult to rank jack white (and side project) albums. None would spring to mind as my favourite albums ever but i could happily listen to all of them without wanting to skip a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
