It's petty, but Jack has a point. Black Keys basically ripped off the Stripes. He'll even their name is a nod to the stripes.
yeah because the years before The White Stripes even released their debut album, Dan said "lets rip off the sound of this album that hasn't even been released yet from this group that hasn't been signed" lol. The Black Keys got their name from a message on their answering machine and the duo started making blues music in 1996 (that's 3 years before The White Stripes made their debut album). They were playing in bars, high schools, and basement parties when the WS were hitting it big. I really dont think that the Black Keys have ripped off anyone...its blues music for heavens sake. It's an entire genre, not the riff of a song. If I started strumming a simple folk tune on my acoustic would you say that I'm ripping off Bob Dylan? God i hope not...
Being insanely talented doesn't make you a great human being. Jack White's music speaks for itself and I don't really care about the rest of the situation.

I thought he meant he ripped them off because they've both released a handful of good songs amidst a steaming pile of blues-mediocrity....and they both like cats.
Ehh, whatever. People can say what they want but Jack is awesome. Hardly a tune of his that I haven't liked. Used to dig the Black Keys but have more or less lost interest in them the last couple albums.
This is not about tunes it's about him being a dick about hi's kid being in the same school as Dan's kid . that makes him a Douche Dick he should name hi's next song that .....
