jack white is definitely making a run at being the new joe bonamassa in the sense of an insane amount of digital ink being spilled over their merits as a guitarist/musician/etc... for someone i could not care less about. in the case of joe b, i literally had never heard of him before this site. in the case of jack white, i have never heard a song by the white stripes in my life that made me think "i need to hear that again, that was awesome."
not hating on jack white, don't really care. but i definitely am not a fan of the musical stylings coming from the white stripes. it was cool during the euros in 2012 when the fans started the whole seven nation army stadium chant theme. other than that, the biggest "meh" of all time.
as for fuzz, hate on electroharmonix all you want but i love my big muff...paired with a tube screamer or klon and a reverb/delay pedal through my fender 59 bassman, it is my favorite hard rock tone of all time (that i can make).
for today's outrage at the assault on human decency from the r.s. controversy-generation list, gibbons at 102, stevie vai at 127, and bill frisell at 154 feel a little offensive.
