Going to a Jack White gig? Keep your phone in your pocket

He’s a musician who expertly tows the line between tradition and innovation, but Jack White is no fan of the modern trend of mobiles phones recording every second of the action at music gigs.

“People can’t clap any more, because they’ve got a fucking texting thing in their fucking hand, and probably a drink, too,” White has said during an interview Rolling Stone.

“Some musicians don’t care about this stuff, but I let the crowd tell me what to do. There’s no setlist. I’m not just saying the same things I said in Cleveland last night. If they can’t give me that energy back? Maybe I’m wasting my time.”

Jack White’s due in the UK when his world tour arrives at the Eventim Apollo in London on July 5th. Beforehand he performs at next month’s Glastonbury Festival – by then his second solo album ‘Lazaretto‘ will have followed-up the trans-Atlantic number one album ‘Blunderbuss‘, which was released in April 2012.
