Jack White Boarding House Reach

As a fan of The White Stripes and Jack's work this is a big disappointment. Crap pressed into vinyl.

I haven't liked any of his post-Stripes work .

Perhaps someone could link some of his good stuff.

I saw that tour this summer and as much as I want to be a Jack White fan I just can't be. His music has become boring and self indulgent and his guitar playing live was noisy and erratic. I'll still listen to his new offerings as they hit Pandora and Spotify but unless he has makes some radical changes to his compositions I doubt I'll be buying any of his records.

I like his vinyl work with classic blues reissues.

His first problem from the start was using his girlfriend to pretend to play drums. Yuck. Then the next hurdle is songwriting. As much as I like his approach and ideas about the guitar, you have to have good songs.

I'm with you 100% on that opinion. His post-Stripes "live" work in particular disappoints, from The Raconteurs (ridiculous name) on out.

Yes, this element of his post Stripes career is laudable.

A few of the ROIOs w/ White Stripes floating around the ether are effin' great listening. Just jack, Meg, and a HUGE geetar sound. Seven Nation Army, Jolene, and a bunch of other powerful numbers included on those sides, many of which are audience-taper sourced but nonetheless have fine SQ. Some of this material might have made its way to The Utoob place?

I liked him in Cold Mountain, other than that, just no thanks, terrible irratic guitar player with no sense of harmony, when he comes on my XM radio I have to turn the channel.

Double post.

Those two Paramount Records sets are massive contributions to music history.

Some "good" Jack White (Stripes) "live":

Meg was a decent drummer, her range was somewhat limited, but she performed flawlessly. And she was / is pretty.
