I like The White Stripes, think he's one of the most talented guitarists, but he's not a genius.
 
He's from Detriot :confused:

Plus, the rest of your posts read like bad NME articles. Just a whole load of gushing praise that doesn't tell you anything.

I'm a bit fan of the first 3 White Stripes albums, they raised the bar massively for pop-art bands. But post-Elephant TWS are mediocre at best, with the odd bit of decent stuff poping up with solo projects like the Cold Mountain sound track.

fuck off you clown, with your shit blether, i bet you couldnt see it if i kicked you in the face! One more banal blether from you and or i will get into a furious rage and kick your head in!!!

:)

Spot on.
 
The term genius is greatly overused these days



why do people keep saying this??? Its a lazy copout IMO. Just because I have used it here does NOT mean its being used lightly.

People are scared of the word genius.

Anyway, I have commented on this already (earlier in the thread). My advice is to just ignore the noise of the outside world and go with your heart.

All of the above confirms to me that 'genius' is a relative term. :)

Meaning, your heart maynot beat, feel in the way anothers does, therefore your genius may not be mine, and vice versa. That's okay isn't it? :confused:

i would like people to explain themselves though, thats why i find it really lazy for folks to flounce around spouting 'Oh, genius is so overrated these days!!' I couldnt agree more - but in Jack Whites case, i think he is. I have given my reasons. And if people dont agree, i want reasons. Just lipsynching on my thread with such statements isnt good enough for me. Its pure lazy.

genius is usually a universal term i suppose. Most people agree that Einstein was a genius.

I am very sure that Prince is a genius.

and Bjork

if people dont agree with me on them, or anything at all, its of little interest to me anyway - i dont care!! :):):cool:
 
Why did you start this thread then?

I wanted to express myself. Thats why i do any thread. :p

but its so bloody easy to explain why you say something and if people dont think Jack White is a genius, I'd like to know why. Im curious, but ultimately it doesnt affect me. Peeps flouncing around with brash statements with no backup is not contributing to a thread, however, IMO.

There may be 'universal' agreements of the term cheesy but that doesn't mean we universally agree on all uses of the term 'genius', so in that respect it is relative. That's a good think too IMO because if it wasn't this way we'd all agree, like the same things and not be individuals.

I appreciate that you feel that way cheesy, we don't have to agree though do we?:confused:

Okay! :)

Rutitia, all i am asking is for people to explain to me WHY Jack White doesnt cut the mustard with them.

anyways, nevermind!!!

:)
 
i dont mind if no one agrees with me!!!

Just explain WHY!!!

pretend you are a barrister in courtroom or something.

c'mon, dont be lazy!!
