Is anybody else pissed off by the comparisons between the two? And the propaganda bullshit when people say that Jack is more talented?
It pisses me off that Jon's been doing what Jack is now, but he's done it twice as long and still the credit goes to Jack. That really pisses me off.

You must know who the White Stripes are? That bullshit mainstream band cashing in on the whole garage rock racket? Jack White is their lead singer. Everybody thinks that The White Stripes are all cool punk-blues fusion type deal. Well, they need to learn that JSBX kicks the White Stripes ass. Times 50.
edit:" Struggling with equipment problems (Jack White really should bin that awful out-of-tune guitar, however cool it looks), the White Stripes couldn't match their incendiary Glastonbury set. Even his alleged big sister Meg – surely the Paula Radcliffe of drumming, with her peculiar head movements and ungainly but effective style – couldn't keep up with the frustrated Jack as he resorted to frantic medleys and unappealing yelping. Why such a talented songwriter should resort to the schtick that the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion patented a decade ago is puzzling.
Actually, JSBX were rather entertaining – especially their renditions of the excellent "Hold On" and "She Said". Though the minimalist trio (two guitars, drums, no bass) have never been quite commercial enough to make the big time, their influence is palpable on younger, more successful bands. They were among the first acts actually to ask the question: "What makes great rock'n'roll?", and their answer – good shoes, rhythm over intricate structures, excellent graphics – is echoed by the dapper Strokes, the purist Stripes and the Hives' victory of imagination over budget."
I don't know whether that proves my point or not, but it proves that the JSBX kick ass!!

I couldn't tell you for the life of me. All I know is Jon Spencer kicks Jack's ass.
[glow=red,2,300]"I DON'T PLAY NO BLUES! I PLAY ROCK 'N' ROLL! THAT'S RIGHT! THE BLUES IS NO. 1!! BUT I DON'T PLAY NO BLUES!! I DO NOT PLAY NO BLUES!! I PLAY ROCK 'N' ROLL!!"[/glow]
Ya gotta love Jon. Jack is mainstream corporate crap. Especially in comparison to Jon.

I assume you meant that you want to hear the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion by "deflowering", but I'm not down with the current lingo.
Listen to anything by him and get blown away. Any of his albums... Acme, Now I Got Worry, Orange, Extra Width... anything at all. His newest album, Plastic Fang, rawks the fuck outta all of these garage rock "revival" bands.

I said that the White Stripes don't deserve credit for what Jon and the X started over a decade ago. That's all, I didn't say it wasn't credible music, just that it's taking all the credit. Jack White was only 13 years old when JSBX formed, so he doesn't deserve all this cultural credit that he's getting instead of Jon. And both Jon and Judah Bauer are 10 times the guitarists Jack will ever be. And there are no comparisons between the drummer of the White Stripes and Russel Simmons. Russel is the jesus of the drums. And let's not even go into how much of a better singer Jon is. |
