in terms of a stripped down, 2 piece garage blues rock band? yes. i think his point was that they aren't doing anything original but come off as cocky and arrogant like they're doing something novel (which TBK do…as does Jack).

i agree with this…

i would love to hear him talk about the state of music a la dave grohl during his grammy acceptance speech. i think musicians saying that sort of thing is awesome.
