Don't worry, folks, you won't have to choose sides in a Dave Grohl/Jack White war of words.
We brought you news yesterday of Jack White's self-described "Kanye-esque rant" on stage in Boston, where he took aim at the Kardashians, Rolling Stone, and suggested that the Foo Fighters have "a second guitar player play the same guitar parts in case [they] make a mistake."
Never missing an opportunity for a gag (their Carrie-inspired ice bucket challenge is still unmatched), Camp Foo soon responded with this:

Now, Camp White is saying it was all a misunderstanding to begin with anyway. Nasty Little Man, the PR firm who represent both acts, have released this statement:
"Dear dream-makers of the media….
Last night Jack White made a joke on stage!
There was a minor equipment mishap, specifically with his guitar, and in an effort to keep his audience engaged, he made a joke!
It was meant to be funny and self deprecating: “hey sorry, you’re stuck with just me up here…” vs the Foo Fighters who have three guitar players on stage and regularly play stadium shows.
Jack has the upmost respect for the Foo Fighters and communicated with Grohl this morning.
So if you’ll let us, we’ll all continue with our day and we assure you:
All is well in the rock n roll world."
