He has the same tone and is a constant wah user (I can see why he likes it, they are fun to use but sometimes not needed). To me Jack just seems cooler

There is not fact in music TheBig3KilledMyRainDog, only opinion. But anyone with any understanding of music knows the White Stripes mean little in the overall scheme of rock music.

mean little? are you having a laugh? the stripes are one of the most original bands theres ever been. that is a fact and musically that means alot - considering their status as a mainstream act.

Overstatement of the year. I liked their cover of those Captain Beefheart songs but most of their albums are ho hum.

All the White Stripes have done is pick up som really nice and well known blues rhythms and make them cooler, until they either pick up some more off that they realy haven't done anything "great" musically. One creative thing may be Jacks use of the piano, but that just means it hasn't been done lately, not it hasn't been done. But, I still love the Stripes and Jack is an awesome guitarist.

I love how you write my full name out, I'd do the same but I don't think I have the patience. Point is, your opinion can have some backup to it, not just stone-faced declarations.

And may I just point out that your first statement here makes your original statement null in void. You either believed that there was fact when you said "they weren't" or didn't know when you said "there is no fact" but you can't believe both sir, now which is it exactly?

This comment is just as Stone Temple Piloted-declaration as what I said. Back it up.

Yeah, I did a survey.
