[@Bussahshot]

Vlad discussing rock beef feels like the twilight zone

[@randomcharacter6501]

Maybe people can stop saying "you don't see rock stars beefing"...

[@reginaldbstewart395]

Anything for views

[@IbnRushd-mv3fp]

Megadeath vs metallica

[@joojoobaw]

It’s so much less serious 😂

[@russellfraser1922]

Lmao yes it does

[@mefarri]

“More than anything, I don’t really care that much” Nailed it.

[@JadeLiz74]

And I guarantee you Jack White would tell you the same thing. I don't even recall these dudes & I promise you a majority of us 50 year olds know Jack White more so than these guys. There's no comparison. Everyone has an opinion Vlad, but Jack White is beyond these guys. Quit making it a competition Vlad. it's the 90s original music makers not todays drill. Vlad you're a fkn scumbag, and You like causing drama and stirring the shit pot. Any which wasn't much, respect I had is gone

[@MIRRORTHIEF]

I love Jack White, I prefer his music, and you never know what happens behind the scenes but man, these guys just seem like all love. There's nothing I appreciate more than seeing people keeping the peace against all odds. There is NOTHING cooler than saying "hey man, I'm sorry you feel that way."! I'm glad it's water under the bridge.

[@MIRRORTHIEF]

@dmd7472 much appreciated.

[@Noloveforspectre]

The Keys are better and more consistent. The White Stripes were great the Raconteurs were ok but nothing Jack has done since the stripes has been good since.. Hes interesting outside of music though

[@larrypotter2243]

​​@@NoloveforspectreI and many others would disagree that Jack whites solo stuff hasn't been good

[@Noloveforspectre]

@@larrypotter2243 cool, but his music is lame now and this is coming from a huge fan, its bland and not interesting

[@larrypotter2243]

@@Noloveforspectre bland? Lol Ok. Have a good life. The last 3 albums have all been different u dunce.

[@bamboozle3990]

If Jack met these 2 in a bar they would become "The Black Eyed Keys".😅

[@austintighe1722]

To combat the interviewer here with the statement “Seven nation army was cool but other than that fuck the white stripes.” The white stripes did a lot more for music than just that song. White Blood Cells is a raw powerful rock record with loads of great songs. I think they did more for rock music than the black keys did, BUT the Black Keys have been more consistent and their laid back, fun personalities add to the charm of the music. Love both bands and the beef is just funny but don’t discredit the White Stripes like that

[@bufy10]

Bro, is an idiot 😂

[@suncat5160]

Yeah, it was a really dumb thing to say. Personally, I think the Stripes are a much more important band. Their music was much stronger than the Black Keys. I like The Black Keys, don't get me wrong but no one's putting Dan Auerbach on a set with Jimmy Page any time soon. There's a reason everyone felt Jack deserved to on It Might Get Loud and I reckon that counts for a lot.

[@UnderwaterShadow]

Vlad knows he fucked up saying “fuck the white stripes” after Patrick said they’re cool and hang out now lol

[@TimothyMcVay]

He wants to start a "beef" with Jack

[@lsmlsm2115]

Vlad was trying to stir shit up.

[@blib3786]

Gotta love how they say multiple times that they're cool with Jack and they squashed the beef a long time ago and Vlad STILL keeps pestering them about the beef, asking about this and that random incident from 15 years ago. Some things never change.

[@TimothyMcVay]

That's his shtick

[@earthheartmind8697]

"Fuck the White Stripes" *me trying to restrain myself from screaming at that guy and throwing my laptop against the wall*

[@kamuelalee]

Vlad needs to interview Jack White.

[@tohellandbacknoface4091]

😂 and ask about his street activities and beefs

[@Alicedoesart]

yea and ask about his taste for underage fans… ooooops, I shouldn’t have said that…

[@KaranSingh-r4i6o]

jack would never

[@VAANET]

Jack doesn't do interviews and probably wouldn't do one for a snuff channel

[@kamuelalee]

@@VAANET Not sure what you're talking about. Jack White has done many interviews including on mainstream TV talk shows and on the web.

[@shusterme]

"fuck white stripes" and one minute later Patrick says he's been at Jack's house watching games and stuff 🤣 that was awkward

[@Therealstrikeforce]

“Turn blue” is criminally underrated! One of my favorite albums of all time!

[@ronnieo.6647]

Definitely one of my favorite Black Keys albums

[@jsauce311]

Na

[@HighLifeWorkout]

Word

[@tinandgonic3927]

Same! I'm not that much into their other albums tbh but this one I'd put on my top albums list.

[@thetransonicford]

Agree. Love them all, but Turn Blue is a favorite

[@Danny-sd5vm]

I love these guys as musicians, as friends, as a band and how they carry themselves. People don't realize the Keys are a Grammy award winning, multi-millionaire band that paid their dues and got to the top. I can listen to them for hours. Funny dudes.

[@illonebaby]

When he said "Well we had to slide on him Vlad" I knew feds was checking for the Black Keys.

[@realtick]

I’m embarrassed for the Black Keys having to respond to Vlad’s questions.

[@fiddlefolk]

I'm a country music/classic rock guy and I bought this Black Keys album Rubber Factory out of boredom of mainstream music and just looking for something different. Blew me away! Two guys just killing it! Been a fan ever since! I know them adding band members was the natural evolution for them but nothing rocks like just the two of them. It's almost like listening to sibling vocal harmonies. They just have a musical chemistry that comes from somewhere special.

[@iiPrOpHcY]

I never ever thought I’d see the Black Keys on Vlad. Best American rock band of the last 25 years, hands down. Those first few garage albums are the hardest and gnarliest blues to drop in a while. They were working class dudes touring the world in a van for years until they got their big break with Brothers. Great interview. Would like to see more rock and country types interviewed. Sierra Ferrell would be an interesting interview.

[@tangyorange6509]

Damn right great comment

"Seven Nation army was cool, but fuck the white stripes" fucking casual ass take by Vlad haha

[@lsmlsm2115]

Pretty petty. The White Stripes re-introduced Rock and Roll to an entire new generation.

[@randomcharacter6501]

Welp, I take back what I said lol. I didn't think Vlad was gonna ask em about this.

[@mariuskromvoll9238]

First time I heard’em mention The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion as a source of inspiration. Cool!

[@chrishills2427]

This guys only heard Seven Nation Army? Lol

[@Noloveforspectre]

Thats literally thier biggest song outside of Fell In Love with a girl

[@itsoonbedone]

Those Jacques marie mage frames/shades the dude on the right is wearing are DOPE🔥🔥🔥

[@Trawizz1]

Wow. Vlad seems like the most unprofessional interviewer ever. The Black Keys are clearly uncomfortable by the Jack White questions. It's ridiculous getting asked about such an old matter, which were solved ages ago. Vlad sounds like an immarture teenager.

[@autismmatters6193]

Vlad we need the “ Luis Miguel “ interview….. stop being SHY!

[@elmago9547]

Eso sería en la dimensión desconocida

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

It's been 12 years since "Lonely Boy"??? Damn

[@GalaxyTheCrazyQuilt]

Right?? That's what I thought 😅

[@poolshowerrecords]

Vlad who ever is doing the sound for these interviews. Tell them to go easy on the noise gate, it’s kinda jarring how the sound drops off after every word.

[@dam7196]

I was just going to comment this! It sounds WEIRD

[@Whatsyourchannel420]

Jack White's fear of the Dawn album was awesome. I don't like that seven Nation army song and I am only slightly aware of who these guys are but could not tell you one song from them.

[@OrchestraUnderGround3000]

You guys rock I saw you guys live ! Great show Gentlemen …

[@matiasishere1487]

Humble amazing artists. They bring the old sounds and filter it with new ideas. Y’all make sure to check out all their old stuff.

[@triplejjj222]

The Black Keys haven’t been good since their album “Brothers”. They’ve completely sold out for commercial “rock”. The part where they blatantly lie about not hearing The White Stripes since they were compared to them was laughable. They’ll never be on the level of The White Stripes or Jack White

[@alvarado427]

I can’t say I agree with that statement. Yes I agree they have fallen off since brothers but everything before that especially their first three albums was some seriously good shit. If you make an album like thickfreakness or rubber factory you definitely deserve to be compared to any of the great garage rock bands of the 2000’s.

[@Drewww1_]

1,000,000% agree.

[@k3vvisntsmart]

Really? Brothers? you didn't like El Camino?

[@Noloveforspectre]

Dan is a much tighter and consistent songwriter, The Arcs album was dope, but yeah they did sell out with the last few albums. Jack White has not made anything interesting since the White Stripes, also Dan has a way better voice and can play his ass off too

[@caltrops11]

They'll never be on the level of the white stripes becuase the surpassed them years ago. Jack white is jack white but the black keys are still playing shows in arenas. The white stripes don't exist. They haven't made music in years. Jack whites solo shit, is interesting, but it ain't the white stripes. Legend of rock and roll and guitar playing for sure one of the most fascinating indivuals on this planet. Also turns hes a jealous asshole. In his divorce proceedings with meg, one of his crucial things that absolutely had to happen was their kid not going to school with Dan's kid. That's petty. Meanwhile, dan doesn't give a shit. And dan is still making music with the dude who got famous for making music with. He still has his drummer. They still have a sound. Where's half Jack's sound? Great guitar player kind of a jealous insecure egotiscal man. Especially when there's a feature length documentary when you pay homage to all the people you stole your sounds from. It might get loud... Either way. 7 nation army probably makes alot of money. But every black keys album of the past got a song on it some multi billion dollar corporation is paying em to use forever for a fucking Ford commercial. I mean come on now. Jacks great but the black keys are everything he wishes the white stripes could of been.

[@DA-qq8uj]

Did vlad just say fuck the white stripes??? Yo. Vlad.

[@bobertrobertson130]

Lmao this is what I was waiting for

[@UnderwaterShadow]

Damn Vlad you didn’t ask Patrick about his girlfriend whooping his ass!

[@SenfMustard]

[@davemish4163]

You can tell they don't want to talk about it.

[@kieranmcdonnell9953]

cool that he did this interview

[@DukesMusic84]

Rock n'roll beefs are sometimes even more savage and brutal than those of the rappers. These guys were around when rock was still ROCK. The 2000s were a hot mess to say the least.

[@GhastlyCretin]

Nt really.

[@heydola4]

When vlad said “…named after colors…” 💀💀💀

lol i will say for white the piano reference was reallllly close...both bands reference the keys on a piano...the white stripes and then the black keys...i can see why that would annoy one if your hyper competitive...glad its squashed i fw with both more with jack

[@Woodzo]

the new tune with Noel is great... you can definitely hear his influence on the track..... but he wasn't the singer of Oasis lol

[@Danielallanz]

Jack White is one of reasons I wanted to play guitar so it's disappointing to hear that Jack seems to have these sorts of problems with other artists but i think it comes from the insecurities that come from being an artist like he is.. but I'm not down with the jay zee connections and I don't really like his solo stuff as much as Dan's ..I know he punched one of the von boundies which was another disappointment,jack produced their frist album but shit happens,..for the record I don't think the black keys and the stripes sound the same at all..

[@mynamemyname7990]

can't access all these old articles as easy on the Internet anymore, and not that I'm saying it's ok because of this, but I read that guy called meg ugly out loud in front of a bunch of people around a bar or something, I think in front of her too. Literally read all this over ten years ago at this point so details may be off. But you can see why Jack had to fuck that guy up

[@shanereynolds4276]

Competition is healthy. Being a hater isn't.

[@rztricky]

Jack White is hollow His affect has existed for 22 years and I don’t see a Physical Graffiti, Exile on Main St. There’s no magnificent accomplishment that he’s brought and sustained forward. I can same for the Black Keys. When your brand is a personality sanding against everything with some songs popping out of the “artistic” battle, long lasting songs won’t occur.

[@greenjo617]

They're literally telling Vlad how irritated they are about talking about the white stripes to journalists and he keeps talking about the white stripes....

[@manyourcoolchris]

[@k3vvisntsmart]

I honestly don't see any similarities between Jack White's discography and The Black Keys, when I listen to Lonely Boy, Gold on the Ceiling, or even Tighten Up, I don't think of The White Stripes or any Jack White influences in there music
