Vinyl is the real deal. Ive always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you dont really own the album. And its not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive. – Jack White
Playing drums feels like coming home for me. Even during the White Stripes I thought: Ill do this for now, but Im really a drummer. Thats what Ill put on my passport application. – Jack White
I dabbled in things like Howlin Wolf, Cream and Led Zeppelin, but when I heard Son House and Robert Johnson, it blew my mind. It was something Id been missing my whole life. That music made me discard everything else and just get down to the soul and honesty of the blues. – Jack White
I keep guitars that are, you know, the necks a little bit bent and its a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle. – Jack White
