Holy CRAP

That is sweet. Shopgoodwill is a cool site. I have bought film camera stuff, and some older analog stereo equipment from there. Most of it sells for too much for being untested, though.

[jimmyjazz 46,985]

I skipped through the video a bit -- did he say what he paid for it?

[AnotherUTFan 9,957]

Thats what inwas wondering JJ. I didn't see it in the video.

[AnotherUTFan 9,957]

Double posted

 

[AnotherUTFan 9,957]

I finally watched these, tons of people were talking about it.

This should end any debate if Jack White's a real player or not.

Nope.

I had a hard time not just watching the drummer. I don’t know if his whole setup is mostly showmanship or if it is borne out of comfort for his style, but either way I’m down with it.

[Buzzrock 15,118]

I dug around and it turns out just under $6000. Not quite as cool a story at that price. But it’s still pretty cool.

[jimmyjazz 46,985]

Eh, that's surely a good price for '58, even if it needs a ton of work.  I don't think he's gonna lose money on the deal.

[DougO 5,261]

Jack is playing pretty decent there, but he's still a shitty singer with a nails on chalkboard voice.

[Bogeywon 2,546]

Weirdly I’ve been trying to get into jack white but just can’t. This is my like 10th time trying to run through his songs just cant

Yeah, I watched both those vids -- still nothing.  It's not that he can't play, I'm just very "eh" on what he chooses to play.

[Goredho 17,629]

I give him some credit for strapping on a guitar and playing loud, but that’s about it.  Some of the riffs towards the end were ok.

[tigol 2,468]

I didn’t know there was so much JW hate in here. I thought the SNL performance was awesome! Wasn’t he subbing for some idiot that wouldn’t follow the safety rules? I think he had to throw that show together at the last minute and it seemed pretty polished.

[Goredho 17,629]

Don’t hate him, just meh.  And my comment about giving him credit for strapping on a guitar and playing loud was serious.  I’m for anyone who is actively keeping guitar-centric rock alive these days.

It is super weird. We gonna hate on Kurt next??

[Buzzrock 15,118]

The Jack White disdain has always been strong on the Shag/Surl. Though not from me. The White Stripes show I saw at Music Midtown many moons ago was absolutely epic.

Second favorite was Raconteurs at Bonnaroo.

Strapping on and playing loud is what it’s all about. Shades of Neil Young.

If Jack White had to face off John Mayer in a steel cage death match I'm really not sure which I would root for.

[Deej 77,676]

Poor Jimmy Page had to film an entire documentary with Jack White and The Edge.

I got caught up in the spirit of Adorama’s Sukkot shut down and threw shekels at my computer and bought the Lake Placid Player Series Strat that arrived today. 

There is a subtle aqua tint that is visible in person, but that my iPhone 6s chose to ignore, so on some of the photos I used the “Vivid Warm” filter in an attempt to bring it out. 

I haven’t even held it yet, but I love the satin finish on the back of the neck.

I’d root for a double live album.

I will, though I’m not one to really be the guy to listen to for an expert review. 

I’d like to mention that if you use the Adorama links in previous posts, the Tele & The Strat are still listed for $539 and I checked the links AFTER this ad popped up in my Facebook feed this afternoon...

So use the links if you’ve got the itch.

[Deej 77,676]

I have to say, I love my bourbon burst LP, but my Epi, after having been set up by Willie's luthier may play a tad better. Gonna bite the bullet and take the Gibby in. 

[DougO 5,261]

Love the Lake Placid blue, Fender's best solid color. I'm still not beyond getting a wild hair if they stay on sale a while longer.

I had a couple of friends who went to a show in LA in the early 2000s. A couple of Dallas area guys, one went to UT, and they had floor general admission tickets and got close to the stage to see Jack do his thing. 

Then the music started...

...and they watched Meg’s tits slosh around for the next 90 minutes. 

[jimmyjazz 46,985]

The only guys who are more defensive than Jack White fans are Monte Montgomery fans.

I don't know about Jack, but I don't think he could beat Mayer in a 'being an asshole' contest.  And that is from before he put out his first record....I can't imagine Mayer is any nicer now.

Mayer can play. I’d take him over white.

A good friend of mine is buddies with Jack.  They do a lot of music biz stuff together, so my friend spends a lot of time in Nashville.  He swears Jack is a salt of the earth dude.

I still don't really like his playing very much.

[hullabelew 3,730]

I've posted this before, but about the time Mayer put out his very first record and just after he won an open mic/songwriting thing at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, he was playing at another venue here.  He threw a shit fit and started yelling at the young, female bartender because the 'green room' didn't have the brand of bottled water he requested.  

The 'green room' in question is 10x6, no door, one wooden bench nailed to the wall.  It's a fucking closet..with no door.  More than two people and it is full.  He treated her like shit and he was a NOBODY at the time.  Prior to that, he had been taking tickets at the door of Eddie's.  A friend of mine tells me all the time, "When people show you who they are, BELIEVE them."  Takes a big person to yell at a 21 year old girl because he didn't get his preferred brand of water.  David Bowie played an unannounced show at this same room around that time and was gracious as hell to everyone at the venue.  Fuck Mayer.  

[AnotherUTFan 9,957]

Who would you say is the bigger asshole Hula, Mayer or Paul Simon?

[tbone_ 14,413]

Should be free license to punch dudes that act like that.

 

He can still play his ass off though.

Oooo....great question.  I give the title to Paul Simon, due to his longevity and the fact that he makes money off of stealing other people's work.

Yeah, Mayer only steals other people's guitar licks.

So that Goodwill guitar guy’s channel is pretty sweet.

He buys lots of neglected vintage stuff. Sorry if this is a known thing already.

I think he lives in Oklahoma unfortunately, but he goes all over Texas.

A lot of great artists are douchebag assholes. I just hate Mayer's stupid fakeass Dave Matthews inspired cartoon voice. If he had a great singing voice and wrote great songs I could excuse his being a douchenozzle.
