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.

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

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

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
― markers, Saturday, 3 August 2013 18:09 (ten years ago) link
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.

They should form a two guitar, two drum supergroup called The Black and White Keys.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:37 (ten years ago) link
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!!!
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 3 August 2013 20:52 (ten years ago) link
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?

Jack White is this millennium's Brian Setzer. Dunno what that makes Auerbach...were there bands that had a beef against the Stray Cats?
― Esperanto, why don't you come to your senses? (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 3 August 2013 21:45 (ten years ago) link
no i meant they play his stuff in record stores because apparently the people who work in record stores want me to commit suicide.
― scott seward, Saturday, 3 August 2013 22:03 (ten years ago) link
the blasters probably said mean things about the stray cats. robert gordon probably sneered at them too. who knows.

i can understand why people wouldn't like the white stripes but for all their admitted influences they had a pretty unique aesthetic, and i'd say jack did a lot in pointing kids towards a bunch of old blues artists they wouldn't otherwise have discovered. the black keys meanwhile are the work of a dave matthews fan and sound like blues traveler, and when i saw them at sxsw they had a real live shoeshine boy working beside the stage while they played, so fuck them.

I have almost zero use for The Black Keys, but I've been told by Nashville friends that Carney, the drummer, is a nice dude and Auerbach treats him like crap (he actually treats everyone like crap, but that includes Carney).
afaic Jack White and Dan Auerbach should just activate their Wonder Twin powers and form of a giant rectum.

Jack White = Dave BartramDan Auerbach = Shakin' Stevens

Miriam Linna = that woman from Darts
those 3 comparisons make everything clear to me

I think we just need Greg Ginn involved somehow via his own lawsuits and any bands with Black in the name and the resultant paste will be a court-enforced supergroup of Ginn, Rollins, Morris, White and Auerbach that has tour calling themselves the Grey Bears.

haven't heard el camino, but despite my better judgment, i do quite like "lonely boy". every else about the black keys is a drag tho.

If we're gonna take sides on which one of these guys is less of a tool, Auerbach's "dance for me, roots music legend, dance for me" Dr. John album was a lot better than White's Wanda Jackson album.

i don't mind the first two black keys records, they are decent for fuzzy white-dude blues stuff. everything jack white has ever done kinda makes my skin crawl.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 4 August 2013 16:07 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, don't listen to Black Keys, but i don't find them annoying, either. Jack White seems like he's trying to be annoying on purpose, which is even more annoying.
