    I agree, have you heard the raconteurs. They have Jack White in their band and they are awesome as well. One of my favourites right now.

    "Broken Boy Soldiers" is definitely an album 2006 will be remembered for.

    Jackie White wrote "Billy Childish" on his arm when they played at the top of the pops back in 2002 I guess.

    Jackie loved Billy Childish, and obviously he ripped of his image (wearing hats and moustaches). It's just that Billy doesn't like The Stripes. He's probably right, Jackie obviously is half into being a star.

    Thee Headcoats ruled ! The Whitie Stripes are just fine.

    Billy Childish hits back at Jack White
    The garage man responds to White Stripes attack
    Billy Childish has hit back at Jack White's claims that the garage man has plagiarised The White Stripes.

    As previously reported, White posted a missive on the band's official site on Monday (February 27).

    He said: "As for Billy Childish, Meg and I really feel sorry for you. It must be lonely sitting in all of that garage rock bitterness Billy. You know children, when you take someone else's music and put your own lytics on top of it, it's still called plagiarism.

    "Something Mister Childish hasn't learned yet....By the way Billy, we didn't have to have you play with us, and we didn't have to mention you in interviews, we were just being polite in a foreign land. But you're welcome anyways. The bitter garage rocker..."

    However, Childish has now slammed White in an open letter, saying: "Though I have undoubtedly angered Jack White, I think it's a bit nasty of him to accuse me of plagiarism merely because his former admiration of my work was not reciprocated."

    He added: "It all smacks of jealousy to me. I have a bigger collection of hats, a better moustache, a more blistering guitar sound and a fully developed sense of humour. The only thing I can't understand is why I'm not rich. Yours sincerely, Billy Childish."

    Signing off the letter, Childish said: "P.S. I always stay well within the music industries recommended guidelines of never plagiarising more than 50% of my material. But no matter who my influences may be, I would never stoop so low as to rip off Led Zeppelin.

    "P.P.S I hope I've gone and offended Led Zeppelin now."

    The war of words was started after Childish spoke to the American GQ magazine about The White Stripes.

    "I can't listen to that stuff," he explained. "They don't have a good sound...Jack's half into the sound and music, but then he wants to be a pop star as well, so you've got a big problem."

    go head and buy Billy Childish's new band, instead of the stripes !

    http://www.shock.com.au/releases/info.asp?release_ID=128334

    of the true enigmas on the rock'n'roll scene is this English gent (with THE greatest moustache in the world) and his band, named after an extinct breed of chicken. Now that is rock'n'roll!


    Billy had a local release for his last two albums in Australia in 2004, and rumours continue to abound of a possible Aussie tour.



    With over 100 albums to his name, Billy has done it all. His dress sense is unrivalled, and his WHO meets KINKS but all done with a real sense of joie de vivre and oddball joy.


    Fans include KYLIE (we kid you not), THE WHITE STRIPES (who adore him), MUDHONEY and loads more.


    NME's review of the album gave it 8/10 and raved "Garage legend Billy Childish's umpteenth album finally establishes him as the Greatest Living Englishman".

    I don't really like the self titled album, but love the other ones. Awesome band. Jack White is an amazing guitarist, and has a unique voice. Wish I could have seen them live. His new band the Recountours are great too.

    For what it's worth, the White Stripes and Pearl Jam are my two favorite bands.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
