See you there

[Gribbz]

The Black Keys will be crushed when they hear the news. =)

Amen. I wonder how they'll be billed. Top of the third line?

[rage patton]

What?

What?

Did I stutter?

Like I said before. They are a second line act now.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

i've never understood the fascination with jack White.

[skyismad]

I can 100% confirm the Delta Spirit, from the band directly, asked after a show. They'll be there.

Didn't see your last post. I'd believe it. But wow, I can't imagine the Black Keys closing the outdoor or subbing on on the main. Didn't realize they were THAT popular

[Gribbz]

i've never understood the fascination with jack White.

Nor have I.

A "God" is probably the funniest word I've ever heard to describe him.

I mean, I like the White Stripes... but a "guitar god?"

At least we know he isn't the One True God.

I assume you mean Ugod from the Wu-Tang Clan?

[Mr. Dylanja]

god, this thread has been jacked more times than last year's.

I see what you did there.

He's made some fucking awesome songs.

You guys obviously haven't listened to enough White Stripes or Raconteurs. I am also assuming neither of you have seen either band live.

[boyalien0]

Black Keys + White Stripes = A Piano.

[Coachella Bound]

This is a confirmation if I ever saw one.

ehh, i got extremely excited for the Arctic Monkeys last year, their tour dates put them in the same state... and a fresh release of Humbug. Cant say its a hundred percent, but id be really happy if it did.

i disagree....other than it being during the day, it was pretty solid. i'd like to see them close out the Outdoor on Friday.

same, their set in 09 was awesome but they have far surpassed that popularity point. Best album reviews popping up all over and the commercials have been introducing them to a wider audience.

i've never understood the fascination with jack White.

its his personality... the guy has a tremendous energy, he stays out of the negative spotlight. And has an intangible abilty to create new bands at will.... ive only seen the Raconteurs, and live he is brilliant. Both on guitar and piano.

The Black Keys, w/ the release of the last album "Attack and Release", in my opinion, finaly differentiated themselves from the Whit Stripes shadow. By stepping outside of the garage and working w/ Dangermouse. I think there equivalent, but in there own wayz.

[Boourns]

I thought I had posted this last month, but I guess not. For what it's worth, I asked someone in Oberhofer about Coachella and was told "maybe".

Isn't there also a video floating around of Jack yelling at people for not dancing at a show? Or something along those lines? I don't remember.

Ultimately, this doesn't matter. Music generally speaks for itself.

[Boourns]

I need to see the White Stripes in a proper setting. I get the feeling a lot was lost seeing them from the back of the Greek.

[obzen]

What?

What?

hahaha, excellent.

You are not the only one.

He told some people that were standing around with their hands crossed during the Greenhornes and called them "Hipsters". He also yelled at some guy at the greek theatre I can't remember what he did.

Jack IS a guitar god. He's one of the best guitarists on the face of the planet. You need to see him live, doing anything. He can tackle so many different genres it's ridiculous.

Jack White is a genius.

Oberhofer isn't even big enough for the bottom line of Coachella, unfortunately.

[Sushov23]

I was definitely on enough drugs! But youre right, its not that it was a terrible set but it was my first time seeing them since Bonnaroo 07 and it just wasnt satisfying the way I wanted it to be. Seeing them here in October was everything I wanted and more.

:swoon:

can this man pull of an epic yellow shirt/vest combo or WHAT?

And they DID have some serious sound problems for the first few songs, but thats not their fault

Salah, you are right about the Black Keys set leaving something to be desired in 09. I've seen the Black Keys a lot of times, so I'm not just saying that. The sound problems, and the fact that it wasn't loud enough really hurt them. They'll def. be playing Subheadliner(2nd line status) this time around.

What malarkey, Jack White is not a guitar god, he successfully rips off other prolific guitarists that came before him; just because White Stripes have a couple of songs that are played at sporting events doesn't make White a guitar god.

[Neighborhood Creep]

I'm more of a Dead Weather fan.

My cool story, bro

You're judging Jack's guitar playing only off of his stuff in the White Stripes?

Don't talk to me about guitars or guitarists. You will lose this battle.

You're just a snob.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Well here's one act that WON'T be there

Captain Beefheart Dead At Age 69

Don Van Vliet, who became a rock legend as Captain Beefheart, died today from complications from multiple sclerosis in California. His passing was announced by the New York-based Michael Werner Gallery, which represented his work as a painter.

His Trout Mask Replica was Number 58 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

"Don Van Vliet was a complex and influential figure in the visual and performing arts," the gallery said in a statement. "He is perhaps best known as the incomparable Captain Beefheart who, together with his Magic Band, rose to prominence in the 1960s with a totally unique style of blues-inspired, experimental rock & roll. This would ultimately secure Van Vliet's place in music history as one of the most original recording artists of his time. After two decades in the spotlight as an avant-garde composer and performer, Van Vliet retired from performing to devote himself wholeheartedly to painting and drawing. Like his music, Van Vliet's lush paintings are the product of a truly rare and unique vision."

What a silly post obzey. I think I missed the argument that he was great because he's wedged his way into pop culture. The White Stripes make great records. Jack is just polarizing for whatever reason. I guarantee you Jimmy Page has ripped off more musicians than Jack White ever has.
