I just wish they would talk crap about Jack White.
What is your fascination with jack white? His voice always sounds stained, and his guitar playing is mediocre in my opinion. Take away the guitar effects, and its boring and repetitive. The fact that the White Stripes have found so much success blows my mind. The only thing I really find intriguing about the white stripes is the drums. Meg isn't a spectacular drummer, by any means, but her drum lines are just different, in a good way.
They would be a daytime classic rock act like Booker T, Fogerty, or Levon Helm.
i'd say the same thing, except for the reunion aspect of it. especially if it was the first, or one of their first appearances. (i doubt first, because i feel Coachella will grab them for sure)
not headliner status of course, but maybe Which closer or LN
I guess they stopped doing it. I will say a late night Rundgren show in a tent would still be something I would love to see.
Fuck yes to Rundgren, I never really considered him before. However, I could see a daytime tent being more likely... I'd say he's on the level of Jeff Beck as far as current relevance and name recognition, and possibly draw.

Jeff Beck was shafted last year. He deserved a more prestigious spot. And the conflicts sucked. I left for Weezer. Then came back because I immediately regretted it.

I am not sure how big a draw he would be, of course a lot of it depends on what kind of show he is doing. If he is playing his greatest hits more than likely daytime. If he is doing his new stuff with all the synths and ambient stuff probably LN somewhere around Dan Deacons slot. I have seen him do both, and both are excellent. Actually he would be a really good Artist in Residence if they ever do that again.
Laggy : No contest on that conflict... except for Prine. I just tried to forget he was there. I bet Prine tours more anyway. But yeah, I was shocked when he wasn't even on a stage... I thought he'd at least be Which, if not with Cliff and Stevie on What.
Jess : I think he's got enough artistic cred to be a good/modest draw at Roo. That should be enough, right there... "should".

Get over it new dude. They are good. If if pisses you off to see his name, then don't come around inforoo.

The last three aren't realistic. I know Prince announced a massive tour and what not, but I read somewhere that he definitely won't be at Bonnaroo. And the Who have hinted at Coachella, but they've also hinted at never playing music ever again. Lastly, Roger Waters is overseas next June. Add McCartney. No speculation about him, no, but there's a more likely chance of him being there I think.
And that is the reason they are at the bottom of the list lol. As for McCartney, I completely forgot about Macca. Yeah, put him in at #3.
I may have (inadvertently) been right, though. It wasn't confirmed as to whether this would be a tour or shows would be based in the New York area (as said here: url.moosaico.com/17403 ). It looks like it's going to be the latter (as said here: url.moosaico.com/17404 ).

I asked a legitimate question though.. Why do you like Jack White so much? I explained why I didn't, then outlined something I did like about the white stripes. I have also said on several occasions on this forum that I did dig the raconteurs. My challenge to you, airline... Explain what makes jack what so god like in your opinion. I'm very curious to what you will say. Though I have a feeling you will refuse to do this reassessment of his music, and post something like "Dude you are the minority here. I don't have to explain why jack white is god..."

"the only good thing about The White Stripes is Meg"
I did not say that. Just want to be clear. I said the only thing about the white stripes that interests me is the drums. I am not terribly interested in the pale chick with uncontrollable panic attacks.
Jeff Beck was shafted last year. He deserved a more prestigious spot. And the conflicts sucked. I left for Weezer. Then came back because I immediately regretted it.
Agree. I watched Weezer's first half the went to Jeff Beck for the rest of his show. Kind of wish I would have just watched Jeff the whole time.

The songs are simple, universal, and excellent. He has a very specific vision for his songs and executes them with precision and talent. He is, plain and simple, just a talented, great quacking musician in an era where that's becoming more and more rare. It's not any more complex than that.
Now, please. Just let this go. For everyone's sake, especially yours.
