Jack White Worried By Dead Weather Line UpMay 26, 2009
Jack White has revealed that he had second thoughts about going public with his new band The Dead Weather, fearing critics would blast him for having too many musical projects.
White is fronting The Dead Weather with Alison Mosshart of The Kills, Queens Of The Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita and bassist Jack Lawrence. But he worried about starting his third collaboration because he didn't want fans to assume he was only working with Mosshart to recreate the success of their respective rock duos. He tells Uncut magazine, "There was a self-consciousness, I think, but it was after the fact. When we started we didn't even know we were making a record or starting a band. "But when you're finishing a project you remember, 'Oh that's right, we have to release this to the lions now.' And people are going to say, 'Oh right, they're both in two-piece guy/girl bands.' They're going to think we did it on purpose." And White admits he never intended to start another band - but he couldn't deny the chemistry that sparked between The Dead Weather members. He adds: "It was a happy accident. Everybody involved really inspired each other. If we're hanging out and it's really working, it's unfair for me to say, 'OK sorry. I have this other successful band. Sorry, too busy.' That would be a shame." (by Daniel Melia) See also: The Dead Weather To Release Triple Decker Record (15.09.2010)
