Return of riff who spanks? Machine Gun Kelly, Red Hot Chili Peppers, the big guns are thundering up the charts. Reaction to the war, as in the time of Vietnam? Looks like it. At home, Gros Méné has similarly burst (eruption?) into our lives. Yes, Jack White attacks massively, and it’s no coincidence that this solo record has so many White Stripes in the scalpel hatches, bass coils and vocalizations at the top of the register. We need these familiar weapons, we must believe: it shakes up the ugly beasts salutarily. Even when Q-Tip’s rap gets involved (in Hi-De-Hoevocation of Cab Calloway, vast culture!), we are resolutely rock, frankly sons of the Who and T. Rex (play with references in Eosophobia !). Morning, Noon and Night is funky rock a la Prince, Shedding My Velvet revives the Led Zep in itself. And so on. The alarm clock has sounded. A second disc is expected this year. Until then, Jack White is in Laval on Saturday. Place Bell crushed, we bet?
