    That looks great!

    I love that Jack White is a "rock legend" already.

    Maybe not yet but he's well on his way. He'll go down as one of the best ever before he's done. I am very interested in seeing this project.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    While I like U2 I find The Edge to be a rather boring and uncreative guitarist.

    Jack White? wtf?

    This should have Tony Iommi

    Are you joking?? The guy basically created his own sound. No other guitarist sounds even remotely like him at all. Like him or not, he's one of the most innovative guitar players of all time.

    Sorry I don't see it. He can saturate his sound with delay effects. Wow. I'll give you that no one else really sounds like him but that doesn't make him anything spectacular. Like I said I like U2 but his guitar playing is nothing mindblowing.

    I always thought that White was this generation's Page. Edge isn't bad, but he doesn't belong here in my opinion. Should have found someone a little from 80s/90s...

    Edit: Also, when is this coming out?

    I agree he's maybe not as skilled as other guitarists out there, but he's definitely original. And originality counts for so much more in my opinion. The Edge has never been a flashy player and his guitar work always serves the song first and foremost. I've always liked that about him.

    Listen to the guitar work in "Bullet The Blue Sky". Some great work there.

    Jack was talking about this in an interview to a radio station in NYC last may!
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Kind of like less is more? I agree with that about The Edge. And I do think his playing suits the music and the band just fine. That is what I do like about him.

    I just wouldn't call him a "great" guitar player as some do. He gets very repetitive and, for me, boring.

    really excited about this. i, admittedly, don't know much about Page or Edge (more interested in that Jack White fella) but would like to learn more about them and this should be quite the cool flick. already have seen some excellent reviews.
    Common sense is not so common.

    Except he learned everything he knows from John McGeoch, so you're wrong. That removes the claim for originality, now what does he have going for him? Just the 2 note delay thing then...

    edge is like mike mccready. maybe nothing special in the pantheon of legendary guitarists, but he contributes so much to his band and fits perfectly within what they're doing. neither band would be the same without that lead guitar.

    jack white as a legend is a joke. he's not doing anything the dude from the black keys hasn't done better.
    and like that... he's gone.

    Edge is severely overrated.

    Lil Wayne is better than Pearl Jam.

    Nothing against the Black Keys who I really like (and will be seeing next month in Raleigh) but there's really no comparison. Jack White can play circles around most musicians in his age group. He's very well respected in guitar circles. Here's a video from the Grammy's from a few years back.

    Watch it from 3:10 to the end if you don't want to watch the whole thing.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.
