The Jack White Rolling Stone rant has swept the web in just a few hours. The American singer blurted out an epic rant against the magazine and few other artists. A fan recorded his four-minute rant during a show at Boston's Fenway Park and the former White Stripes frontman drop words that fans of the mentioned artists will surely dislike.
During the show, White hit on the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl for having a third guitarist who was put in to cover up possible mistakes during performance.
His rant was mostly about top music magazine The Rolling Stone. He quasi-criticized the magazine for its non sense articles like “15 outfits that will blow your mind that Taylor Swift wore this month" and "12 reasons Rolling Stone won't put black and white cover on the cover of their magazine unless your dead." Rolling Stone didn't actually write those titles, Jack White only used them as an example.
Before things get more awkward, White tried to stop what he was doing.
"I'm officially supposed to stop now because this is becoming a Kanye West-esque rant for Rollingstone.com. Because apparently, nowadays, you aren't allowed to speak to your own fans about anything, lest it be a rant. So forget ISIS, forget the war in the Middle East, forget any problems at home, forget gay marriage, forget everything you ever thought about everything. This not a rant. This is just me saying, hello Cleveland!"

The Jack White Rolling Stone Rant isn't the first. The 39-year old musician recently spoke against 'entitled' generation of artists.
“I hate to label a generation entitled,” White said as reported by Wondering Sound on September 16. “But it feels a sense of entitlement that’s around nowadays, seems to be something that sort of bugs me enough to want to try to overcome it.”
“I don’t see beauty in teenagers all sitting next to each other texting without talking face to face,” he continues. “I don’t see that beauty in the way that music is all recorded on computer and auto tuned and presented in that really plastic way.”
“And I guess I just do my best in doing whatever I do to try to defeat those ideas and present something that I think is at least an attempt at getting at truth and getting at beauty.”
