** The vinyl release for his new album ''Lazaretto'' could be seen as a vinyl enthusiast's wet dream. He's also charging only ''$20'' for it.

* {{Foil}}: Completely unintentional but Jack White makes a darn good one against, appropriately enough, JackBlack.

* TheRival: He, the lead of TheWhiteStripes, does not get along well [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience with]] TheBlackKeys.
* TheCoverChangesTheGender: Averted when he covers "Jolene" by Dolly Parton and "Bang Bang" by Nancy Sinatra.
* TheWonka

* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: Despite being an accomplished and talented guitarist, White seems to prefer minimalism to intricacy. Many of his songs are based around simple power chord progressions.

* DreamTeam: Aside from his two active bands, he has also collaborated with Loretta Lynn, Music/DangerMouse, Norah Jones, all the way to bizarre musical collaborations with Creator/StephenColbert, among others.
