I can not stand the white stripes

I really, really dislike the white stripes. IMO they have little musical talent, from the bands that I've heard. And my 10 year old Nephew seems to have more abilities on the drums than the drummer on the WS. And the most ridiculous thing is that Jack White finished 17 on The Rolling Stones top 100 guitarist of all time, over guitarist like David Gilmour, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Immo, Randy Rhoads, and Eddie Van Halen. Hell even John Petrucci of dream theater is 100 times better than Jack White. Shows how credible The Rolling Stones magazine is now a days as an unbiased media. The Rolling Stones are dumb, and The White Stripes suck.

Jack White is one of the single most underrated/under-recognised guitarists in the world.

Him finishing above certain people you named, is a bit stupid. That's all it is though, some guy's opinion. It doesn't take away Jack White's credibility as a musician. He still goes out on stage and more or less puts on a whole concert by himself. Whilst doing it better than, I would say, a high 80-90% of bands today.

Also, don't expect to be taken seriously when you refer to members by what they do. Clearly don't know much about them.

Even John Petrucci? He's better than all the guitarists you named bar EVH.

Well... I didnt mean to degrade Petrucci in anyway, i guess i should have phrased it different. Dream Theater is my favourite band of all time, and John Petrucci is my favourite guitarist of all time, and diffently the best guitarist of the 90s, he might be better than Iommi and Gilmour but even I (and I am a HUGE Dream Theater fan) would admit that he is not better than Ritchie Blackmore, Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.

He is though. EVH is the only one there better than Petrucci.

Jack WHite is excellent. The fact he is essentially a one-man show who can make a guitar sing and also make pretty damn fine pop music, while sounding quite fresh and full of energy. You can see what John Peel saw in The White Stripes. The man rocks.

People say "White Stripes would be greater if he had a full band who knew what they were doing behind him" and that may be true, but I really like the fact that your eye is focussing on what Jack is doing. Watching him play almost alone, to a simplistic drum beat, and STILL managing to make such full music, makes it even more impressive.

One word. Overrated.
