Do you guys like Jack White?

I met Jack last week, he played a small gig in New Zealand and I ended up waiting about an hour and a half after the show by the exit door. There was a group of about 30 of us waiting, they parked his van up right to the doors so he could quickly leave the door and get straight into the van. When he came out, he instead came out to us, shook all of our hands, thanked us for waiting in the cold, and asked if he sounded okay on stage. For someone that could be a complete asshole because of his large amounts of success, he was so humble and it was a pleasure to meet him.

So basically Jack White stands his ground, protects his art and throws hands when neccessary? I like him even more

Jack White was great in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Jack White and Johnny Depp should play each other in a crossover biopic.

I met Jack White once in a bar. He was so cordial and gave me a lot of time as we chatted about the compilation 'Sympathetic Sounds Of Detroit' that he put out. He was really great considering I was a complete stranger.

Would love to see a Jack White/Billy Corgan vs Marilyn Manson/Robert Smith tag team Celebrity Deathmatch on MTV.

I met JW a couple of times and he's an odd duck but he was always brutally honest.

I haven't been in a physical fight in over 20 years, then again nobody's spat on me in all of that time. If you spit on someone you shouldn't be surprised when that person physically attacks you.

Rock was never meant to be complicated, this guy is a genius. Pleople saying his music is simple like is a bad thing, bro, he never tried to make complex music in the first place. His formula is so good that everyone can enyoy it. Even my little brother like this band. You can tell something is good when that happens.

Nothing says badass more than the sad cat lady hairstyle

I just can't picture Jack White getting into a physical altercation with anyone. He looks to be about as threatening as a glass of Ovaltine.

I like his music. He's extremely talented. I don't HAVE to "like" him as a human being. Fuck, I don't even KNOW him. Why do people always confuse the artist with the art?

I can tell that we aren't gonna be friends Joking aside, the press blows things out of proportion

You could have seen Meg just about any night at various dive bars in Nashville in 2009. I know I did. Saw her playing pool and drinking at the Spring Water Supper Club all the time. I wouldn’t call that reclusive, just not doing interviews. She was in public all the time. She wouldn’t get mobbed, she was polite and funny. People gave her space but she was interactive. Those were good days.

Good to see Johnny depp looking so healthy after the trial

I definitely like his music. He has always struck me as a normal guy with a talent so he might be kind of cranky sometimes, but a good guy you could just hang with without being focused on how he makes his living.

Sounds like Meg was more down to earth and tried to keep Jack from getting too cocky.

Noel Gallagher called Jack White "Zorro on doughnuts" which might be the funniest thing ever said.

He played on my boyfriends softball team in Detroit when he was still playing local spots coming up. He was young and according to some of the guys, ‘a tool.’ But I’ve always like him. He’s brilliant and now a dad-which usually helps you grow up.

Jack White is one of those once in a lifetime musicians, writers, producers, artists really. I think that he is able to slip between genres at ease. I'm 57 and a huge fan. He is genius, I believe.

I LOVE Jack White like a little brother.

Love almost every note I've ever heard come from this enigmatic individual. He doesn't seem friendly like some other musicians but what he lacks in social skills I think he makes up for it in musical talent.

He makes badass music. He definitely has an intelligent mind. His actions, & his music are a product of his mindset. He feels the way he feels & when he acts out, people may not understand it. He is far beyond the average Joe mindset. I say rock on.

Funniest joke I ever heard about it was someone described him as "real life Tim Burton character, Jack white"

Jack White seems to have some integrity. Thumbs up, but I wish I thought Jack White was as cool as Jack White thinks he is. The more I know about rock stars, the less I want to know.

I've not met Jack White, but I spent an hour with his bassist, in a nursery where we were both sort of hiding out at a wedding. He was a very kind and humble dude. I imagine Jack is just the same. I have no issue with an artist speaking up in defense of his work.

“He landed on my hand” has got to be the best excuse for punching someone in the face I’ve ever heard lol I love ya JW but ffs

Meg was at the Raconteurs tour opener in Detroit in 2019, i saw her in the balcony and Jack also announced it. I think they’ve mended fences.

"He landed on my hand." That's a real mans humble brag right there!

Noel Gallagher once said that Jack White "looks like Zorro on doughnuts". It's kind of true..

In regards to music - Jack White is completely brilliant.

I met this dude in a flea market here in Georgia in 2009. He was all right. Not the nicest but not the worst. The drummer from the Cramps was the worst.

What’s really crazy is how the vonbondies were on their way but after that fight they started going back into the background

Jack White lives music. His passion is inspiring. I respect and love the guy for that.

I was half expecting a 2 hour long video

Other rock stars to Jack White: I can tell that we are not gonna be fiends

Genuinely Jack is the nicest man I’ve ever met.

I still find it funny that Billboard placed Meg White no.2 on its list of the 30 top-performing women on the 30th anniversary of Billboard Alternative Songs chart, with Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries deservingly taking the lead spot. The following are talented singers/musicians/songwriters that Meg White supposedly outperform: 3. Siouxsie Sioux; 5. Alanis Morissette; 6. Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson of The B-52's; 7. Gwen Stefani of No Doubt; 8. Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs; 11. Courtney Love of Hole; 14. Kate Bush; 16. Sarah McLachlan; 17. Sinéad O’Connor; 18. Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays; 19. Sheryl Crow; 20. Björk; 22. Suzanne Vega; 23. Tori Amos; 24. Tanya Donelly & Gail Greenwood of Belly; 25. Margo Timmins of Cowboy Junkies; 26. Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins; 27. Chrissie Hynde of Pretenders; 29. Meriel Barham, Miki Berenyi & Emma Anderson of Lush; and 30. Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth.

Now I am fantasizing about Jack and Dan Auerbach becoming best friends and creating great music together in Nashville. Them calling a truce and becoming friends is huge.

Seem like this is more about people Jack had an issue with... more than people who couldn't stand him lol

Saw Jack White in concert the next night saw the Black Keys. Great weekend. I love JW!

I imagine he’s a bit on the spectrum. Brilliant, but hard to be around

Jack White also had a punch up with another musician while they were both on the bill for the Big Day Out Festivals in Australia. Can't remember which year it was or who the other musician was but it was apparently over the other musician hitting on Meg White, she didn't like it and Jack White beat the shit out of him.

My brother Dan actually tuned a piano for Jack White's band a few years ago. White's manager gave my brother a quick rundown of Jack's rules. These included no direct eye contact with Jack, no speaking to Jack unless he speaks to you first, no phones, no pictures, no autographs, and no handshakes or any physical contact whatsoever. So, you could say he's kinda Diva-ish.... 🙄💯

Jack White was awesome as Elvis in The Dewey Cox Story. 🕺

You missed a bit of the story.. he tried to fight Pat Carney in a bar mostly cause he felt their success was due to The White Stripes. I’ve never even made the connection aside from they’re both 2 pieces lol

Why include blurred portions of footage in the video at all?

Wont do a selfie, but gives good hugs instead. "I'm glad you were born Jack" No doubt ... great moment. ❤❤ Jack

Huge fan, just saw Jack in October. FIRST TIME in the 1000s of shows I've been to a venue (Hardrock) literally locked away your phone!

Odd , a good friend of mine used to play keyboards for the guy and he never said a single bad word about the experience....then again White could have been a total jerk , and my friend wouldn't say a thing about it. (He was genuinely one of the nicest people ever)

Met him at a restaurant in Nashville, literally one of the most humble and genuine people I’ve ever met! Never forgetting that as long as I live!

They are all mostly jealous! Because Jack did something so un-apologetically simple yet it blew up like there is no tomorrow. And not only a song here and there - he is a hit maker

Wait...so Jack White was annoyed some other band came into his world? He mimicked a lot of old blues artists. Same way The Beatles mimicked Elvis. Not putting the guy down, but it's similar to someone claiming someone else is using oils and pastels.

This brilliant, life--changing, relevant and essential video work. The world owes you a debt of gratitude. Could you please do one of these exposes on Al Jolson?

After watching The Big Interview with Dan Rather my opinion changed. He's actually pretty cool. Sharp dresser too. Smart unusual dude.

The only time I spoke to him he was cordial....... I was running a store and he came in looking for what we had a ton of.... he was checking all the stuff out and his wife(disproportionetly hot redhead-as in NO WAY this hot babe is with this VERY PALE dude that needs a haircut) -at the time- came in and they started conversing and left rather abruptly without buying anything..... Oddly enough she said "Coca-Cola called and I told them I didn't know if you wanted to do it " . He answered "yeah, I want to do it !" - so I assumed there was going to be a White Stripes Coke ad (those logos would match perfectly) but I never saw such an ad.

Pretentious twits "feuding", until they get the attention they crave. Then, they become pretentious twits who adore each other. How sweet.

I saw them back in the late 90s when they were coming up and they turned up early, drank at the bar and played music with punters, they were both awesome. Maybe he changed...

He spat at the guy then whined when he got hit...

So Johnny Depp is also Jack White..interesting.

This guy's a genius , though I don't think I'd personally like him . I just respect his work and the fact that he does re upholstery of furniture is a difficult trade. His artistry is simple and effective but he shows with simplicity and straight forward attack what a musician with limited instruments can accomplish. Original music ,great music quality, that's genius ...

He is right about the black keys, they do feel like an imitiation; i cant describe it other than that

I love jack.

I’ve met him a few times. He’s always been cool with me because I don’t intrude and talk to him like an old friend.

I had a fight and lost a friend over the WS . He is an artist. Let him art.

I like him because he's a diverse musician. He's very talented. I don't really care if he has feuds with other artists. I just like his music. He didn't ask to be considered a saint.

Black Keys forgave White after that sick burn? Damn, good on them.

How do you confiscate electronic emails? Like they took them and didn't give them back?

Underrated artist! Fan of his work. Unique and he got his own style.

Calling Jack White a little girl and saying “he started it” in the same breath is a bit ironic, no? 😂

Meg probably kept him humble. Jack Whites lead guitar on Ball & Biscuit is raw and powerful, like a steam locomotive and demonstrates his prowess as a musician

The Dan Auerbach / Jack White feud is one of the funniest things ever: two white guys arguing who ripped off black musicians first.

Why all the blurred screens?

It makes me think of the song by The Black Crowes Jealous again

Jack wants all the smoke

i'm not a huge fan of Jack's music, though I don't hate it when it's on. but i really dig him as a person. integrity makes people uncomfortable, and he's deserving of praise in his not be giving a f*ck about that.

Meg not singing his praises, no high fives, or kissing his ass was probably the only thing keeping him grounded, and probably why they lasted as long as they did.

Jack White really isn't in any position to be talking about sound-alike bands or stolen riffs. There's a Raconteurs song that starts with the "Is She Really Going Out With Him," intro. There's another song with a riff from "Daydream Believer."

Jack is a nice guy, just a good ol' Detroit boy at heart. If you're an asshole or disrespectful to him, naturally like anyone, he'll be the same back to you. What the Hell do you expect?

I don't care lol I still like him.

I want to hear just one album released with Jack White and Jack Black together!! I think it would be epic as hell, if they could get along long enough to write 6 or 8 songs!!

Is it me or do some of these photos make him look like a younger version of Johnny Depp?

Jack White lookin like Johnny Depp in Dark Shadows

You know what's interesting about the Nashville music scene? Nothing.

He must be so horrible that Loretta Lynn worked with him.

I love the Black Keys!

Jack is cooler than you, period

It’s remarkable how many people are referenced in this video that I’ve never heard of

I saw Jack at a grocery store in Los Angeles last year. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Y'all are a bunch of Jack White haters. He's brilliant. And starting Third Man records had been huge. He's introduced us to Ashley Monroe and Margo Price. He's worked with Loretta and Wanda Jackson, just to name a few. You can dislike him but don't dimish his accomplishments

Once i saw the title, I had to see this. Other than the Von Bondies, I didn't know anyone hated Jack White.

This music is about the “coolest” music you will ever hear, White is so extremely talented!

What's with all the blur?

Seems more like a video about rock stars Jack White doesn't like than the title suggests.

I love Jack White.

I like how Jack's comments about Meg were pretty much... "She wouldn't stroke my ego - but I still love her dearly"

I saw Jack White in concert this year. And the Black keys. I don't know how anyone could call White a musician he totally sucks ! The Keys however killed it !

Punched him 7 times in the right eye lol!Jack White a Gangster!

Here's an absolutely true tale: I was working at a pizza joint in Minneapolis in 2017 and 18 I can't remember exactly when it happened but one night we got a last minute huge order from Jack whites tour people for a bunch of sandwiches pizza and desserts as he was playing a show in town that night and presumably had to feed the troops...now I don't want to exaggerate it wasn't an immense order but it came to around three hundred and fifty bucks worth of hipster vegan pizza pasta sandwiches etc. We were already quite busy that night but were told to prioritize the order before everything else as they had to have it immediately and we complied. When the flunky turned up to pick up the food we received absolutely no tip. Nothing. Not even a gratuity for the overworked and very beautiful and kind hostess. How about them apples
