Referring to The Dead Weather as simply a side project of Jack White is like saying Them Crooked Vultures is a Dave Grohl side-project. The Dead Weather are their own beast, their own band. They're the band that Jack White would have started if he hadn't...

It's been chronicled time again just what a busy cat Jack White is; the guy is a music-makin' machine.
