Any Jack White Fans?

His new album is out.  Finally got a chance to give it listen through and while I don't think there are any big hits it is darn good Jack White.

Been a fan since he was just John "Doc" Gillis playing with Goober and the Peas out of Detroit. He is becoming THE guy in the vinyl world. A nephew of a friend of mine has just recently connected with him through a fluke meeting over some sound equipment Jack has. (the nephew does concert sound, tours with some pretty big names)

Pretentious knob.

But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

In reply to Streetwiseguy :

I think that's a requirement for being a musician. 

Except for Lemmy.

He's kind of an ass - not only needs a performer's attitude, but he's a little guy as well - but I don't find him pretentious.

He's genuinely interested in obscure old music and deeply loves the process of making it.

I like his stuff a lot, so I'll check it out.

I don't care for him much, maybe I should give it another try. But he knows Good music when he hears it

Because Lemmy is a bass player.

Never heard of this guy, unless he's half of a duo with Meg White known as the White Stripes?

In reply to 1988RedT2 :

Yes, he is.  Also in bands called the Raconteurs and Dead Weather.

This is like saying "those three guys that played with Ringo in the Beatles," but yes, that's him.

Love him, and I think the album with no name is a great idea.

I've gotten tours of his vinyl record making plant in Detroit.  It's an interesting derivative process to a guy who works in production plastics operations everyday (me, I'm referring to me here).

Peter Gabriel has entered the chat.
