Jack White or John Mayer?

Forums:

Thoughts?

JW's vocals are probably more annoying to me. JM's vocals are meh but singing GD lyrics is a plus. I don't listen to his solo stuff. 

Never cared for either, although White has some real talent.

has jack white ever played dead?

The more leftist one

don't get either...

JM is wayy hotter, wears sling underwear, and totally rocks out..

Jack White produced a great Loretta Lynn album. Advantage.

I wonder if that's the talent Thom is speaking of. I think he can make a lot of good recordings go bad with his vocal style. I dig his instrumental sound.

Agreed.  Jack White needs a Peter Wolf.

As a producer and for his efforts in the restoration of old venues, I'll vote for white. Although,  I loathe his music and his vocals. White is one of the only acts I've walked out on...terrible

Really like Jack White.  But if we're talking about singing our beloved band's songs then neither.  Can't stand Mayer's vocals but can't see Jack out there either. 

I went to see a Robert Plant / Jack White double bill last year here in Santiago. Plant was/is a God, of course. White? I left after 3 songs. Boring, screeching diva who made us all wait an hour and a half so he could have stage set-up just perfect.

Plant barely even had any decorations. He just (shocker) focused on the music. White's head has gotten too big for his own good, IMO, and his music really isn't all that. It's decent, but nothing that moves me.

Not a fan of either.

Neither

i enjoy the white stripes album De Stijl.

Jack White toured with two separate backing bands, one all-male, one all-female, randomly switching back and forth between the two.  Advantage for being kooky.

John Mayer may get all the tail but is a ridiculously overrated musician.

    I saw two shows on that tour; one with the all male band in Eugene,  one all female band in NYC, both  terrible.

     

    Neither can really play that well. Mostly just a bunch of half assed guitar wanna- be licks that couldn't stand up next to a real player.

    You might know this so I'll ask, which one seems to have "more" or "better" skills with the guitar( soul not required )?

    im just curious 

    Both are arrogant douche bags full of shit.

    Like which one can do the longest listenable Playin? 

    I have no idea, Slack. I don't think any guitar players are expecting much out of either of those guys right now. They've been terrible for so long that it's just funny to watch people take a shit when they do one good thing. I honestly don't expect anything from guitar players anymore. Seems like they are all awful in every single genre. Not sure what happened to the art but it's long gone.

    Too many pedals?

    From what I've seen, Mayer has a shit-ton more chops.

     

    JW gets weird points for picking up those aluminum instruments, tho'.

    Too many pedals is def a problem. Nobody can just play a guitar straight up anymore. They need like 5 different effects, at least.
