If I had some extra money floating around I would release a commorative 7" of the great detroit garage rock battle.

"dead lead singer on the dirty ground" vs "cryin'"

It is interesting that of all the people in detroit who want to slug jason vonbondie, it was jack white who actually did it.

INDIE FIGHT!!!!!!

I wonder if there was slapping involved.

― David Allen, Tuesday, 16 December 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Why does he have so many enemies?

"AAY Jack, who was that guy I saw cold mountin' Renee last week?"

― Dr. Annabel Lies (Michael Kelly), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 05:02 (twenty-two years ago)

every time i've interviewed jason he's badmouthed jack white, even though he owes his career to jack's intervention and assistance. long time coming, in my opinion...

This is Detroit, even our wussies are hahdkoah!

Note to self: for the next month or so, take yet more care to turn past NME news pages when reading in shop

Weird. I was working (tech support) in the Detroit Receiving ER that night. I must've just missed him coming in.

What's the feud about, though?

Even Fox news mentions his name (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,105849,00.html), another one to add to the "when mainstream media namedrop obsure indie artists" file :-)

There's the police report on TSG: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/doc_o_day/doc_o_day.html

I like how the White Stripes were described as a "rock band", while the "Von Bondys" [sic] were called a local rock band. Ouch.

"Everyone's been a really good family except for The Von Bondies. I don't know what their problem is. They've really lost their minds, it's ridiculous. The singer has really gone off the deep end. He's very mean spirited." - Jack White

"And as far as Jack "producing' our record, he didn't touch any of our songs or even suggest a guitar tone. We recorded all the tracks in, like, 13 hours, and the only thing Jack said was, "I think your guitar needs to be a little bit louder.' When we were writing out the production credits, I asked him, should it be "produced by Jack White and the Von Bondies'? And he said, "No, just put me down as the producer.'" - Von Bondies dude

― Garbage Collector, Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

does the von bondies dude realize that's all 90% of producers do?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Tuesday, 16 December 2003 18:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"we rip off riffs from old rock songs. the white stripes do that too, but at least we admit it" - jason von bondie

Here's a link with the pictures of Jason:

even for a rock musician that's pretty ugly

Damn, Jack smacked him so hard it gave him acne

the sad thing is that our kids are going to be asking us if we were at this gig when the 'garage rock revival" revival hits in 2030.

Two thngs you can be certain of:

Kid Rock will never ever leave the playlists of SE michigan radio during my lifetime

This will be as noteworthy as iggy's peanutbutter rampage in the 70's.

That is quite a right hook Jack White has. I thought this'd just be some pussy-boy fight, but he actually looks properly bashed up.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Wednesday, 17 December 2003 04:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh Geez, I feel kinda bad for joking about it now. I assumed he just got a decent shiner out of the deal. I didn't realize that it was that bad.

"Meanwhile Meg White sat on a speaker sipping a cocktail throughout the incident, and its aftermath."

that is fucking horrible!!

It looks like Jack used a left hook, not a right.

Facing an aggravated assault charge, White Stripes frontman Jack White this morning quietly turned himself in to police, walking in the back door of Detroit's 13th Precinct, where he posed for the below mug shot (instead of his standard red/white getups, White opted for a natty pinstripe number). The rock star, 28, was booked on the misdemeanor count, posted $100 bond, and "quickly left" the precinct, according to a police spokesperson. White was charged yesterday in connection with his December 13 pummeling of Jason Stollsteimer, a singer/guitarist with The Von Bondies, a Motor City alt rock band.

First person to note a similarity with the Michael Jackson mugshot wins nothing.

Only $100 bail to beat the shit out the Jason Von Bondo? RADDO.

Also, i'll bet he didn't look nearly when all that smeared blood was wiped off his face. And by "smeared blood," I mean, "that faggy scarf."

― TEH ONE AN ONLEY DEANN GULBAREY (deangulberry), Wednesday, 24 December 2003 08:55 (twenty-two years ago)

OK Jack White doesn't even have a scratch on him. What in the fucking world?

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 24 December 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, I had no idea he was such a badass.
