Mr. Jack White
























Jack White, the enigma that is the leading man and leading guitarist of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs (or if you're from Australia, the Saboteurs). Fascinated with the number 3 and has a fondness with the Coca Cola colours, he was named the 17th best guitarist of all time by the Rolling Stones.














As a two man (or man and woman) band of White Stripes, Jack White and Meg White form a formidable duo. Meg's minimally destructive drumming and Jack's no-bass-nonsense ridiculous sliding of riffs make up the Stripes.

The band started out as a total garage band before moving on to more complicated styles. I appreciate it, but I honestly still have to admit their old stuff is better than their new shindig.


















The Raconteurs. Jack White's hiding in the middle with the other members (from left to right) Jack Lawrence, Brendan Benson and Patrick Keeler. Having a full-fledged band gives White's music a more developed feel, unlike how amateur sounding like the audio technology is on the White Stripes.

The Raconteurs is a side project and they have already released two albums, one being Broken Boy Soldier and the other, Consolers of the Lonely.

This is a single from the new album, its called Salute Your Solutions and its made of 250,000+ pictures. Have fun watching.
