Jack White Saves Fainting Fan

Jack White saved a fainting fan at at The Raconteurs gig last Tuesday (April 29).

The girl fainted at The Uptown Theater in Kansas City.

According to sources, White came offstage in the middle of playing 'Carolina Drama' and picked the fainting girl up. He handed her to security where they escorted her backstage.

White then came back onstage and finished the track.

Member of the audience KevRocket wrote to the Back To Rockville blog: "I knew something was wrong when Jack came to the edge of the stage.

"I was surprised when he ended up picking this girl up and out of harm's way. I have seen a lot of concerts, and that was a first."

Wow, that was nice of him. Leaves right in the middle of a song to help her out and he finishes the song afterwards too. What can't this guy do?

[dandesmond]

Although I'm not a fan of any of Jack White's music, man you gotta respect someone who will do that.

[Stampede]

Yeah that is awesome. Jack White is the man.

[C1osur3]

Now that's respect for the fans.

[elcapitan1800]

What a *****, ruining Carolina Drama?!?! I would be pissed!!! Just kidding, that is awesome that he did that. On a side note, I HIGHLY recommend the new Raconteurs CD to everyone. Its amazing

[tlangdon]

I respect that

[thrashster]

hmmm nice guy. Most rockstars would rather kill the whole audience rather than stop a song.

[Neo_Towel]

yea, and im sure after the show he found her and smashed the crap out of her. . . and also, ho's be fainting at concerts all the time. . .

Don't get me wrong, that's a cool thing to do but... Wouldn't just about everyone do that, if they saw someone was in danger?

[hobo467]

Now that is truly awesome. Score one for Mr. White.

Nope, in my experience, most people are dicks and would leave her. Ever hear of those times when people are trampled to death at concert? The only time I'd see this happen anywhere else is a metal show around my parts. Kids will punch you in the face in the pit, but pick you back up if you get knocked down.

Although I don't like his music, that's pretty cool of him.

Oh but topic, sorry for the double post, Jack White is a great guy and this just proves it.

nope, i was at an offspring concert and there was a guy about 15 feet back from the stage, like right behind me. that was having a heart attack and dexter made fun of "the fat guy who was getting his ass kicked".

[daytripper75]

that was really nice of him. im doubting there are many artists that would do the same thing.

Yeah the new raconteurs cd is great, I think I like it more then their first album but only time will tell. I love pretty much anything this guy releases.

[isabiggles]

im confused i thought the girl would be having a heart attack and jack white performed some complex healing process seconds before she would have died.

but no. the hero jack white 'saves' this girl by handing her to security. this guy is such a hero. *snore*

He probably didn't realize he was actually in trouble and was trying to be funny. *shrug*

On topic, that's a nice move. I respect him more for that, despite my indifference towards his music.

[Icarus Lives]

Enough of the Jack White worship. If you saw a girl faint, wouldn't you pick her up? Wouldn't anyone? If he had waited a second or two someone else might have got her.

[bricksgrenade72]

jack white... White Stripes, Raconteurs, and elvis in walk hard, and now this... ive gained so much respect for this man haha

[slippers man]

Jack white rocks

[The Extremist^]

wtf? couldn't anyone else pick her up... like someone who was beside her or smthing ???

[hairypineapple]

What a hero... id go gay for him now

[Vrstone87]

Sounds a bit like when a guy had a heart attack at a Flogging Molly show in Charlotte 3 years ago

It's how The Cribs gig in Glasgow should have gone.

For those with no idea what I'm on about, a girl fainted, so the band had to stop the show (with help from producer/Franz man Alex Kapranos) and get the whole audience to sit down.

It worked mind.

[paddypadman]

Aw man!
He's a hero now too!?

[dgme92]

That's pretty cool. Nice to see a bit of humanity in these rock stars every now and then instead of the whole "I'm too good for this crap" ego thing they usually have going on.

yup...wisconsin people are cool like that, if you get knocked down someone's always there to help you

[Anjohl]

That's cool for sure. I remember when I saw Pearl Jazm here in NFLD, somehow, this girl had met Eddie at a party the night before, and told him how her boyfreind, who was a huge fan of the band, broke up with her the day of the show, and took her ticket and sold it. So Vedder TOOK this girl, gave her backstage passes to both shows, and proceeded to bash this guy onstage BOTH nights! It was awesome! Musicians are people too is the moral...

[deansouthpaw]

Eddie Vedder is the man!
Jack White too!

Totally! Someone should start one of those websites like the "Facts about Vin Diesel" site for Jack White. The guy is a frickin' shtaaeed and I'd believe anything positive stated about him or his abilities. This is a great story, to be sure. Great to see that some people care. Rock on, Jack!!

ehl oh ehl. +1 to all of you. And I'm pretty sure Axl only stops playing songs because the roadies don't give him a steak dinner or something.

And +1 to Jack White for actually having the decency to help out a complete stranger like that.

[outlawtorn003]

Yeah I remember at Summer Sanitarium in Toronto in 03. Linkin Park stopped playing after someone got hurt in a mosh pit and Chester was helping direct the EMT's to the hurt dude. I gained a lot of respect from them for that along with what Jack did.

to be fair, at a racounters gig, what could actually happen to someone whos fainted? unless the security is so shit that the guards cant pick her up themselves.

cool story,jack white is one step closer to being a saint,but horribly written article in my opinion.

But that doesnt change the fact that White is amazing...

[TeXaS_db]

Ya i was there, the girl that fainted was like 3 ppl to the right of me. i have a video on youtube where he is getting back on stage after he gave the girl to security. just put "Jack Saves Girl 4/29/08" in the search bar to find it. but it was amazing what he did. and the carolina drama song was not ruined at all, it was towards the end he saved the fainting girl, then afterwards he got back on stage and finished the song. it really added alot of "Drama" to the song.

[stratdud39]

wow, good guy

[dudeman_andy]

he's a true musician, in it for the fans.

[player hater]

So I need to faint at his shows hmmmmm

[adamk991100]

yeah as others said, not a fan of the White Stripes but thats damn nice what this guy did. most bands just say "take care of each other" meaning if someone falls or faints the crowd itself is expected to help that person. not usually the case..even more amazing, he actually went back to finish the song!

[MXFNCK]

he handed her to security, isnt it their job to watch the audience in the first place?

[Tallman1984]

That is pretty cool of him, but I still haven't forgiven him for the five minute beach ball walk out fiasco in at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

[deaththrashcore]

They probably couldn't get to her, especially if she was getting pushed up to the edge of the stage.

[Just_a_picker]

That was a class act on Jack's part, stopping the song to help somebody, then finishing the song. I'm not a fan of his, but that was a nice thing of him to do.

[Ibanez2427]

every spiring musician should look up to Jack White.

axefreak129 wrote:

I would agree that he's very much unlike Axl and kudos to him for what he did, however the 'stopping songs for right reasons' part isn't completely true. He stopped the show and walked off the stage for five minutes at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley b/c he was pissed about a 'Live 105' beach ball landing right next to him. This was before he got pissed at a fan for running on the stage, causing him to stop the same show a second time just to reprimand him. Jack's a genius, but I still have trouble listening to 'My Doorbell' b/c of that whole deal.

dude people can be scum. the reason he did that is because security were probably on their 16 coffee break, and noone in the stage was paying attention.

white is a great musician, and a great person.

While I hate his music, that was a really good thing he did and I respect him more for that.

[thenewguy729]

Yeah, I go to local metal shows, and plenty of times I've been hit, (broken my nose, arm, wrist) and the person who did it in the pit will always pick you up and ask if you're alright.

Tru, Antony would have probably had a go at the fan for ruining the performance.... actually to be honest, he wouldnt of noticed... Antony seems to have a real lack of noticing fans... he tries to "talk to the crowd" but he never exactly looks at them or seems like hes in the least bit interested in them!

[hellfire21]

a true man
one of the nicest men in rock, or maybe not, he does have a temper, lol
but still, hes one great guy to stop a song and help a fan who could've been crushed

[deadlyMETAL]

Very very cool. Carolina Drama I think was my favourite off the new CD, and doing that at a gig, that's just respect there, to everyone involved. \m/

[filthandfury]

Another reason why Jack White is awesome.

[foob85]

I don't think Jack can get any more ****ing amazing. Hah.

[MegaRon]

I love Jack White. Greatest rocker out there today, in my humble opinion. Not only for saving a fan in danger, but for going out and finishing the song afterwards. Infinite kudos to that man.

[TheKingisDead]

Anti-flag stopped their set when i saw them in Chicago because two guys were fighting. and then made them kiss eachother. open-mouthed.

i wish someone would've fainted instead.

Well, now Jack White is right up there with Josh Homme in the "I care about the fans and will stop the song/set to help them" club. Homme does this a lot of the time, not just showing up hecklers.

I can't imagine why anyone would do otherwise, though.

yeah youd be suprised here in wisconsin The Rules of the Pit are very well followed. when i went to Ozzfest last summer out in East Troy this dude ran straight into me and i slid and three people fell on top of me and the entire center pit stopped to help everyone and myself up and we kept going. this was during Lamb of Gods Omerta mind you.

Nope, in my experience, most people are dicks and would leave her. Ever hear of those times when people are trampled to death at concert? The only time I'd see this happen anywhere else is a metal show around my parts. Kids will punch you in the face in the pit, but pick you back up if you get knocked down.


thats just any good pit, you knock some one down you pick em up, the rules of the pit

Well in an ideal pit there aren't faggots punching and shit...

[gareno]

he's got courage!!

[7thhell]

I was at this show! It was amazing and they sounded great. Unfortunately, I missed the 'saving the girl part' cause I had left right before they started Carolina Drama.

Not Axl Rose, he loves to stop playing songs.

Yeah, he has a bumper sticker on his car that says "will yield for riots!"

i'm going to have to disagree. i met him in the same situation, at an airport, and he was extremely nice as were the rest of The Raconteurs.

what? you can't take a punch from a faggot? pussy....

Ministry has some good pits, people seem to realize that it's not personal... it really is the less obvious shows where people get hurt. I saw a bunch of people trampled at a Wayne Newton show once, that shit was intense. hardcore or no core!

[highroller540]

jack white is kickass! much respect.

[Harry Krishner]

Right on Jack!

nope, i was at an offspring concert and there was a guy about 15 feet back from the stage, like right behind me. that was having a heart attack and dexter made fun of "the fat guy who was getting his ass kicked".

I don't think he realised the guy was having a heart attack or I reckon he wouldve got someone to help him not laughed at him

[guitaringsailor]

Total respect to Jack White! Now thats rock n' roll spirit!!!

[guitarplayer-k6]

I hate Jack White I think his music is crap but that is respect for your fans if I say so... no offense to his music I jsut dont find them very good, they are too... wierd I guess haha

[Chufu]

Jack White is cool and all, but anyone can pick up some dumb broad that passed out. Now lets see him try doing it with his mind.

[ValoRhoads]

That Jack White is alright! He writes good tunes, plays them well and then saves his fans from harm. That my friends is a class act!

[figsandbobo]

Jack White is the only Jack that compares to Jack Black.

[Gh.]

Jack Bruce>>Jack Black>Jack White?

[Fade_One_Fuel]

Jack is an amazing guitarist and overall brilliant musician. Him doing this isn't going to make me respect him more because he already has my respect for his music. Though of course this shows he is a nice guy too.

[carlo754]

I think that was the most respectful thing someone can do to a fan

[Dragon Master]

That's great. Jack White is a great singer and it's good that he saved a fan's life. I mean, it takes alot to do that. How many stars are going to do that for their fans?

[@ir_pele]

Great musician,great guitarist and a great man...He's got my full respect...
