Jack White vs. Dan Auerbach

I'm a big fan of both Jack White (especially the White Stripes) and the Black Keys. Apparently Jack hates the Black Keys so much that he doesn't want his kid going to school with Dan Auerbach's kid. Thoughts?

I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    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.

    I really don't get the rip off argument. Sure, they're both 2 piece blues rock bands, but their sounds aren't that similar, in my opinion.

    They both did that garage rock blues thing for a while.

    Not only is Jack a better guitar player but he's also a better drummer, can play the hell out of the piano, writes better lyrics, and is a better singer. Jack is on another level.

    I think Dan's solo record is stronger than Jack's. Dan's early stuff with Pat also reviles Jacks with Meg. I think Jack has a leg up on Dan with his other bands however. The Dead Weather stuff leaves Dan in the dust and reaches a level the Keys have yet to find. As far as being concerned with him and his kid sitting next to Dan and his for the next twelve years and being lumped into each Jack needs to wake up. There are NO deprived children at this school. They are all rich, they all have second homes, they all vacation anywhere in the world they want, they all have the latest gadgets and so on. There is nothing special about Jack or his kids at this school........

    The Black Keys were great up until Brothers, they've gone downhill since then (but more popular) that said I really don't think one sounds like the other. Dan's solo album is pretty decent.

    As far as anyone criticizing an email that Jack sent to Karen, remember two things: 1.) we don't even know for sure if it's authentic, and 2.) if it is legit, the email was meant for her eyes only---think about the fact that we all say things at times that are meant for only one person to see that we wouldn't necessarily want the world to see.

    So Jack White didn't rip anyone off? He created this style of music?

    Every time I start to warm up to jack white he further prooves he's a pretentious ego maniac. Personally Auerbach's voice is way better and I prefer his guitar playing. They don't really sound similar to me either and both broke around the same time. I'm pretty sure every blues artist stole from Robert Johnson and every rock and roll star stole from them and to not want your kid to go to the same school as some other musican's son is so petty and pathetic.

    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.

    I agree with this. As much as I love Blunderbuss, Dan's record was amazing. And the early Black Keys records are just as good as the White Stripes. I genuinely think Dan has a better voice too, especially live. I've seen Jack a couple of times and sometimes you don't know what the hell he's singing, he sounds like Bobcat Goldthwait!

    I still think that Jack is one of the most important guys in music today - Third Man Records and the cool vinyl stuff especially - but things like this make him look like a bit of a dick though.

    i can understand why Jack doesn't like Dan -- the Black Keys are a two-piece outfit who have exploded in the past three years but have become a completely different band than what they started off as (don't want to say sell-out, but that's what it seems like).

    the white stripes on the other hand gained nearly the same success, yet really never sold-out in terms of having their songs in a lot of commercials, appearing on magazine covers, having their songs in the top 40, etc. so i can see why jack might have some animosity towards dan.

    Didn't Jack White write a song for a Coke advert?

    I don't think either of them hate each other. For Dan to have been quoted saying "I've never heard of white stripes..." :fp:

    I think this article about another article is full of holes and misquotes and dramatizations. Seriously, think about it. Why would either party really care that much? I'm not buying into this sensationalism journalism snobbery.

    Patrick Carney's fight on Twitter with Justin Bieber is more believable. I followed it for a while. Patrick received death threats? from the Bieber fever tweens. (There was actually no fighting, it's was fourth-party gossip)

    Yeah, and also the Captain Morgan ad with Ball and Biscuit. I swear I've heard several more, but can't think of any. I was thinking the Stripes were one of the first bands to make it "ok" to put tunes in ads.
