This was the point in the film where Jimmy basically says "SILENCE, mortals! Yee who behold my coolness will someday inherit the gift of riff. Until then, observe and learn and DO NOT challenge my rule!"
Jack and the edge are constantly on opposite sides throughout this video the edge is all for effects loops etc and jack is kinda old school and likes the rough and tough sound and they constantly justle for position over page, but this defines the moment when page just shuts them up and is like "Shut the fuck up and jizz over my POWER " :L age = idolism :) 0:22 really is jacks jizz face :L
they're forced to smile, i know how they're feeling but they must be on 100x higher :D i was like this when my guitar teacher started belting out a load of red hot chili peppers songs
The second greatest guitar player ever plays the greatest riff ever in front of Jack White, who is really great, but will never hold a candle to Jimmy Page.
Jack and The Edge know they are in the presence of greatness and they should cherish every single moment of their time spent with Jimmy Page....Just think if Jimmy Page would have stayed a session musician, there would have been no Led Zeppelin nor would we have heard all of Jimmy's great playing on all those great Led Zep songs...And there probably wouldn't be the great classic " Stairway To Heaven"....Something to think about....
if you listen to Jack Whites playing on the Elephant album you may know why he is having a " I never thought I'd see this" moment here . There is a definite Page influence .
love this scene! this is the moment it hits jack white and the edge that they are in the presence of JIMMY PAGE! Love their expressions and reactions. it is very child like.
@spankingcactus1 i don't think jack white was jealous. there is complete admiration in both their faces. i am pretty sure jimmy was a hero to jack when growing up because of his style of music. i was surprised at the edge's reaction during this. U2 started off as a band against rock-n-roll gods. they started off more from a punk attitude towards music.
@IINodataII even though i don't like The Edge that much, but seriously? Did you just compare these guys to Ballamy? Ballamy is just a piss stain in front of them at the moment as a guitarist! Especially when you have the papa of them all, Jimmy fuckin' Page standing there!
@theezzyjet dude wtf, have u ever listened to matt bellamy (NOT ballamy) play? of course nobody's better than JP but in MY opinion, he should be in that movie instead of The Edge. listen to Muse's discography before talkin about him
@theezzyjet is "Bellamy", i think he is great, is a guitar player and singer! also play the piano like The Edge (or better) and he was created an unique sound, designed his Manson's signature aaaaaaaaand just kick ass on stage...but talking about guitar players (although not the same style) maybe you prefer Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Petrucci, Clapton, etc matter of taste, all of them admire Page
Jack White, major name in guitar playing? Producers should've picked EVH, Blackmore, Yngwie, Schenker, Gary & Vinny Moore, Brian May, George Lynch, Satch, Vai, Beck, Steve Howe, Morse, Gilbert, Friedman, Huff, Meniketti, Wylde, etc etc etc!
I'm sure it was like they went from sitting with this old white haired Englishman talking shop about how they became guitarists, to remembering the significance Led Zep held as soon as he played that. That song's older than Jack is.
That's the way to play it. So....lets just say,... I can play like Bonham./// Anybody from RI that can play like the other guys from Zeppelin> ?? Put it up okay? I am ready to go! And James? I can be found easily,
Look at their eyes when Jimmy Page starts to play Whole Lotta Love. The same eyes of a teenager when heard it from the first time, and dream of one day being such like him... Just Amazing!...
The dragon began to belch out flames and burn bright homesteads; there was a hot glow that scared everyone, for the vile sky-winger would leave nothing alive in his wake.
@najibora i agree. at 30 seconds long, this is without a doubt the best and most dynamic part of the whole movie. both the edge and jack white (white who i consider a major player in the sustenance of rock and roll) are humbled to nothing but a smile when jimmy lays down that riff. must have been surreal.
jimmy page is one of my favorite guitarists, but why is the edge less talented than the other two? because you rarely hear a pentatonic minor scale or typical blues riffs in U2 music? just because edge doesn't play all the similar riffs and progressions and solos doesn't mean he doesn't know how. i've seen him play live enough to witness how good this guy truly is. and occasionally i'd see him lay down a really tasty blues lick, turnaround and everything.
Thank you!!! Finally, signs of intelligent life. Listen to Edge on "Love & Peace," or his solo on live versions of "Bullet The Blue Sky" and you can hear basic meat and potatoes blues/rock stuff. But that is not really the Edge's thing. As Jimmy says, he is more of a "sonic architect" interested in pursing a different course. In the process he created a wholly unique sound that has dominated rock for nearly 25 years. Jimmy is great, but Edge absolutely belongs up there too!
@juanypei it's actually more difficult to come up with a unique, passionate style, without using pentatonic retread riffs and licks. the edge has done something huge - he's wildly creative, and has been the driving force of a dominant band. it's not for nothing that he's here....
@michaelm2fscopm95 , I think the look on their faces, at least on Jack's, was the expression of being really happy that they are sitting here with a legend hearing him play a legendary song, and realizing that they too have succeeded because they are now making a movie with one of the greatest guitarists to ever cross this earth.
gosh, you can just tell they were trying not to smile so big. if i was in their situation, my face would have been broken and i would have needed reconstructive surgery.
I agree that Jimmy Page is better but to say "Jack White give me a break" is silly, Jack White is definately the best young guitarist at the moment and there is comparison look up "The White Stripes - Cannon" Or "The White Stripes - The hardest button to button" and then come back to say that there isn't any comparison, Jack White is an extremely talented guitarist, stop being narrow minded and do research before making silly comments.
you sir are a fucking genius!! you comment is fucking god like, thank you, just thank you, finally someone that knows sense and will take jimmy of that pedestal, as good as he is, jack is awesome!!!!
Well, I've just got the DVD but I'm not a 'fan' of either of the bands; White Stripes, Led Zepplin, U2....but nevertheless, I loved it and I came away with a great appreciation of all three guitarists. This moment, when The Edge and JW are witnesses to Mr. Page ripping open one of THE classic riffs, is magic. Senior Page comes across as THE man. Awesome (as is the opening scene when JW builds a guitar).
@craigferrett So many people have suggested different guitarists for this film - Frusciante is an awesome idea. If you are suggesting Jimmy Page taking Frusciante's spot in the Peppers, I don't know if he is that type of rhytmic player. I am sure he COULD do it, but not sure he'd want to. If he did, it would be a return to "The Crunge" - "where's that confounded bridge?"
well i'm not saying that i'm a big fan of The Edge, but admit it - he can come up with some effects no one else would, and in most cases he can use those effects pretty damn well.
@SliekoKoja Well, each to his own but as a guitarist myself he is very mediocre, in my opinion. As he shows in this film he plays a mere 2-note riff (he says himself: "that's all it is") then smothers it in effects to give it some sonic appeal. He gets a different sound, for sure, but in terms of guitar-playing competence he is no Hendrix, Page, Beck, van Halen, etc. Take away the effects and there's not much remaining.
I think you've missed the point spectacularly. He uses the effects as part of the instrument to create the sound and feeling. The effects he uses are not just tagged on for effect; they form part of the instrument.
For example the wah guitar on the Shaft theme is one of the most iconic wah guitar parts in the world and has it's whole attidue and feeling dependant on the wah. If there was no wah used to such an extreme you may as well complain that that part is just some rhythmic strumming!
There's nothing "spectacular" in my point atall. And the effects he uses certainly are tagged on for effect. That's the whole point of them. Effects have their place. Everyone from Bon Jovi to Hendrix have used them, and yes, there are iconic songs that depend on them. But The Edge's problem is that he is fundamentally not a very proficient guitarist - he has virtually no lead competence - and the effects don't have a place in his repertoire because he uses them absolutely everywhere.
By your definition Page is relying on overdrive to attain sustain and volume that he otherwise would not be capable of producing. I see no problem with players using as many effects as they like; seeing as the electric guitar is an electronic instrument processing is going on at every stage to define how it sounds, as such there should be no limitations on the way it should be expected to sound. I like all three of these players, each one simply has a different approach.
@AndPlus One of the best performances I have ever seen was Gary Moore at the NEC in Birmingham and all he used was a Les Paul through a Marshall - no effects. As I said before, effects have their place and they do enhance the song when appropriate - Voodoo Chile is enhanced by the effects on it but Hendrix didn't ruin Hey Joe, Red House et al by always using effects. The Edge is lost without his effects and it's just too, too much. He's known for his effects, not his playing. Often less is more.
Well, I don't think anyone really thinks the The Edge is really comparable to Hendrix or Page. The point of the documentary was to have 3 guys from different eras of music, along with contrasting styles, get together and tell their story. It's more interesting that way. I think the way that he uses so many different effects makes him interesting and creative in his own way.

I love their face when Jimmy's playing :D

Isn't that great - they're trying to be cool about it, but they can't help from smiling. :) Loved it!

Jack is decent but I wouldn't say he's one of the best blues guitarists, there is certainly far better blues players out there today.

The guy who calls himself "The Edge" doesn't deserve to be in the same room as Jimmy. He's just an effects user not a guitarist.

@wolfennyc You're the asshole man. What's the matter with you shouting off like that at a perfectly reasonable comment?!

well i'm not saying that i'm a big fan of The Edge, but admit it - he can come up with some effects no one else would, and in most cases he can use those effects pretty damn well.

@SliekoKoja Well, each to his own but as a guitarist myself he is very mediocre, in my opinion. As he shows in this film he plays a mere 2-note riff (he says himself: "that's all it is") then smothers it in effects to give it some sonic appeal. He gets a different sound, for sure, but in terms of guitar-playing competence he is no Hendrix, Page, Beck, van Halen, etc. Take away the effects and there's not much remaining.

I think you've missed the point spectacularly. He uses the effects as part of the instrument to create the sound and feeling. The effects he uses are not just tagged on for effect; they form part of the instrument.
For example the wah guitar on the Shaft theme is one of the most iconic wah guitar parts in the world and has it's whole attidue and feeling dependant on the wah. If there was no wah used to such an extreme you may as well complain that that part is just some rhythmic strumming!

There's nothing "spectacular" in my point atall. And the effects he uses certainly are tagged on for effect. That's the whole point of them. Effects have their place. Everyone from Bon Jovi to Hendrix have used them, and yes, there are iconic songs that depend on them. But The Edge's problem is that he is fundamentally not a very proficient guitarist - he has virtually no lead competence - and the effects don't have a place in his repertoire because he uses them absolutely everywhere.

By your definition Page is relying on overdrive to attain sustain and volume that he otherwise would not be capable of producing. I see no problem with players using as many effects as they like; seeing as the electric guitar is an electronic instrument processing is going on at every stage to define how it sounds, as such there should be no limitations on the way it should be expected to sound. I like all three of these players, each one simply has a different approach.

@AndPlus One of the best performances I have ever seen was Gary Moore at the NEC in Birmingham and all he used was a Les Paul through a Marshall - no effects. As I said before, effects have their place and they do enhance the song when appropriate - Voodoo Chile is enhanced by the effects on it but Hendrix didn't ruin Hey Joe, Red House et al by always using effects. The Edge is lost without his effects and it's just too, too much. He's known for his effects, not his playing. Often less is more.

Well, I don't think anyone really thinks the The Edge is really comparable to Hendrix or Page. The point of the documentary was to have 3 guys from different eras of music, along with contrasting styles, get together and tell their story. It's more interesting that way. I think the way that he uses so many different effects makes him interesting and creative in his own way.
