Really? Do you hate it as much as someone telling you ya suck at something they don't know about.

Are you telling me you can say to someone "that guys a bad mechanic" when you can't pump your own gas?

I want an answer here, do you?

Yes, you can. Because whether you can do it or not, you can still tell when someone is good or bad at something. To use your own argument, I'm not an actor, but I can still tell when someone is a bad actor. I don't play sports, but I can still tell when someone isn't a very good athlete.

But you cannot determine these things as accurately as someone who is also very skilled at these things.
And trust me, half of all these actors and what not you see are professionals whether you like it or not, so they must be damn good to begin with.
Therefore, I do not concur with your statement.

As for all of this 'Jack White can't play guitar' crap, you've obviously never seen Jack play guitar. He is incredibly talented.. He is on this month's cover of Guitar World with Jimmy Page (that's Led Zeppelin, child).. Page praises Jack's creativeness.

I've been playing guitar for 11 years. I've seen the White Stripes 5 times. White is a ******* amazing guitarist. Period. Indisputable, listen to Ball And Biscuit or Death Letter. Don't **** on him, whether you think the album is well-done or not. By the time Jack was 15 he was more talented and well-mannered than yourself.

Alright man, I'm sure plenty of people have seen Jack White.
I saw them in a bar in Detroit with my dad when I was 8.
On another note, don't be a hypocrite.
No need to be patronizing.

Obviously you won't be an expert at it, but you'll still be able to form an intelligent opinion about them.

And do you really believe half those actors are professionals?

Most of them probably never acted in their lives before their first movie roles (unless you're talking about theatre, but stage actors are a whole different breed).

Ok if they do something wrong alot you maybe able to say that, but Jack played the guitar on the album, so what makes him bad exactly? Because its simple?

Thats not what im getting. If my car falls apart 10 feet out of the shop, then yes, you're a ****ty mechanic, but if you didn't diagnose the problem immediatly, and you double check and get it, who are you to say im bad?

I'm not saying White is a bad guitarist, I'm just saying "you can't do this, so you have no right to comment on it" is a stupid argument.

I'm not sure what you mean in the last part of that post.

What im saying in the final part of the post is that, if I don't do something perfectly, it doesn't mean im bad at it.

In the post we are arguing about, he asid something about trying it and seeing so really your argument goes at him as well. And lets not forget he **** on a guitarist that he hasn't heard (at least with regards to the material discussed) and who isn't heralded as the second coming of hendrix, and who played decent guitar. I don't know why my comments are any more offensive to you than his.

Neither of your comments offend me. What you said just annoys me because I think that that's a very silly argument, and his don't bother me at all because I really don't care about The White Stripes.

Did you even read what he said?
