It Might Get Loud "Three Rock Legends" (Jimmy Page, Jack White, The Edge)

It Might Get Loud is the title of a 2008 documentary by filmmaker Davis Guggenheim.One of the most dynamic gatherings in music history takes place in the new film IT MIGHT GET LOUD when legends Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White come together to play, compare notes and talk about music and their mutual love of the electric guitar. Directed by Davis Guggenheim and conceived by producer Thomas Tull, the film, through the words and music of three generations of musicians, celebrates the love affair these men and countless others have with the electric guitar, perhaps the most innovative and challenging instrument ever created.
IT MIGHT GET LOUD isnt like any other rockn roll documentary. Filmed through the eyes of three virtuosos from three different generations, audiences get up close and personal, discovering how a furniture upholsterer from Detroit, a studio musician and a painter from London and a seventeen-year-old Dublin schoolboy, each used the electric guitar to develop their unique sound and rise to the pantheon of superstar. Rare discussions are provoked as we travel with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White to influential locations of their pasts. Born from the experience is intimate access to the creative genesis of each legend, such as Link Wrays Rumbles searing impression upon Jimmy Page, who surprises audiences with an impromptu air guitar performance. But thats only the beginning.

While each guitarist describes his own musical rebellion, a rockn roll summit is being arranged. Set on an empty soundstage, the musicians come together, crank up the amps and play. They also share their influences, swap stories, and teach each other songs. During the summit Pages double-neck guitar, The Edges array of effects pedals and Whites new mic, custom build into his guitar, go live. The musical journey is joined by visual grandeur too. We see the stone halls of Headley Grange where Stairway to Heaven was composed, visit a haunting Tennessee farmhouse where Jack White writes a song on-camera, and eavesdrop inside the dimly lit Dublin studio where The Edge lays down initial guitar tracks for U2s forthcoming single. The images, like the stories, will linger in the mind long after the reverb fades.

IT MIGHT GET LOUD might not affect how you play guitar, but it will change how you listen. The film is directed and produced by An Inconvenient Truths Davis Guggenheim, and produced by Thomas Tull, Lesley Chilcott and Peter Afterman.

@Chippy215Boss

it doesn't make sense it's like comparing Ian Paice with George Kollias ...

[ChancyLovesHair]

@Chippy215Boss his guitar skill is better but in my opinion, Clapton's song writing skills is betterr

[dunokuba]

@louisalive Josh Homme would have been perfect for this

[TIGERxBLOOD]

@silverburst1979 well when you put it that way you are right, Iam a huge fan of Page and i feel Whites style is very unique and innovative in his own way. im sorry im just a fanboy at heart and it got the better of me there, no hard feelings man i respect your opinon

[louisalive]

@silverburst1979 or just play through a QOTSA album haha (they coulda used Josh Homme here IMO, but he's a lot lesser known unfortunately) how did we get so civil, we're on youtube?! We should be all like "you know nothing you gay cunt, go fuck yourself you shitbag"
