Jack White - Blunderbuss

e-mails about how she wants a lawyer, i mean

He sounds a bit bratty, but do you get violent or menacing? Did your read that and think "Karen Elson is unsafe"?

it's almost as if this was decided by legal professionals that are privy to more information than just the e-mails that have been leaked to the public and we don't actually know everything about the situation

no one has mentioned how ironic and sad it is that jack white is complaining about someone ripping his music off?

it's hysterical. white men born in the 1970s fighting over who invented the blues!

i did

great job!

ty!

seriously. but even if this is the worst of the evidence, if you're calling your ex-wife over and over to swear at her about hiring a lawyer for a custody dispute (as implied in one of the e-mails), i'm all for her getting a restraining order

i mean a dude who's already plead guilty of assault before, who reportedly spent the time before each show of his last tour deciding whether his all-male or all-female band would get to play with him that night, has been accused of being threatening and controlling during a custody dispute he's trying to keep lawyers out of. it's not a real "HOW????" situation.

now i wanna hear JW cover "You Could Be Mine"

"Get In the Ring."

"And this goes out to you, Karen, you jerk, taking my kids, starting controversy! And you too, guy from the Black Keys ... what, you jealous that I got to ripping off AC/DC and Zeppelin ripping off the blues before you did?"

Please refer to the right honorable Mr Billy Childish in matters pertaining to the prickish, bratty attitude of Jack White, from their feud circa 2006 when White claimed Childish was stealing from the White Stripes (huh?)

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 humor. The only thing I can’t understand is why I’m not rich. Yours sincerely, Billy Childish.

P.S. I always stay well within the music industries recommended guidelines of never plagiarizing 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.

Billy Childish I love you.

Frankly, I think White comes off as most prickish from his demands that Elson stay away from lawyers. Any settlement with serious money involved the woman ABSOLUTELY wants and needs lawyers. Got to say, from the divorces I've known, it's only ever been the men who've been controlling and demanding and aggressive. And in every case it's got them the best of the settlement because the women have become so fed up of the bloodiness of the process. Admittedly, that's only three divorces, but they're also the only three I'm familiar with.

Wherever they are, Flat Duo Jets are laughing.

White's ex-wife, a model, was probably annoyed that he wouldn't let his kids wear anything other than black, white and red clothing.

I always liked him in 'School Of Rock'

obvs white stripes werent the most original band but they def had their own thing which the black keys seem inspired by, and then the guy follows him to nashville and sends his kid to the same school, its worth at least considering that there may be some weird stalker relationship going on here

how long before we find out hes been going around sleeping w whites exs for years

it seems like the kind of thing you dont really want to get into explaining so youre all i just really dont want any association w that guy and then people are all jeez whats yr problem a lil uptight over there

if jack white is not only being falsely maligned by his selfish ex but being stalked by a copycat currently outselling him, congrats jack white you're living in oliver stone's new rock biopic

you're not a violent paranoid if everyone's out to get you, i guess

"The truth is on your side, blunderbuss!"

"Only my hand hewn wooden albums. I trust NOTHING ELSE."

"based on the gospel vibe and organ riff, i was hoping for a funk/soul blowout at the end. no such luck."

lol!

oh man, Auerbach is going through a divorce right now too. still copying Jack White's every move!

aw, i couldn't find the snl chris evert/martina sketch. my fave.

lol just watched it, forgot it escalates to the point that when evert writes her autobiography martina decides to write a chris evert bio that outsells it

anyhow sorry guys black keys are fucking awful, can't figure out why you dudes love them so much

literally nobody on this thread has defended the Black Keys, so i assume you're joking?

i don't care about them

i do like the white stripes

I went through much of the 00s not really knowing what to think of the Stripes, but the Black Keys kind of put it all in perspective.

the names of the bands even, its all right in front of yr noses

They should form a two guitar, two drum supergroup called The Black and White Keys.

Also, they are both from the midwest. Think about it.

they both use guitars

!

Also, Jack White is white, while Dan Auerbach's last name soooorta rhymes with black, and he is in the Black Keys. But he is also white!!!

i don't think i hate the black keys. i definitely hate jack white. the black keys are definitely easy to avoid. jack white less so if you go into record stores which i do.

is he in them often?

'haha you call the NM be srs bro' --jack white

Jack White is this millennium's Brian Setzer. Dunno what that makes Auerbach...were there bands that had a beef against the Stray Cats?

no i meant they play his stuff in record stores because apparently the people who work in record stores want me to commit suicide.

the blasters probably said mean things about the stray cats. robert gordon probably sneered at them too. who knows.

I feel for any father in a divorce/custody case,

but I mostly only care about myself, so I wish he would put out another album.

"Then don't judge bro"

ha! what use do we have for the internet then?
