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.

Page is better than Clapton

[riseagan]

@Klipklopp clearly you don't know what you're talking about if you think jack white can't play guitar. You can tell watching the movie that Page enjoys Jack being there. He wouldn't have gotten the respect of Jimmy Page, been invited to play with the Rolling Stones as a guest at their Shine a light concert, or to play for Paul McCartney and President Obama at a tribute to paul concert if he wasn't a damn fine musician.

I dont think page has the blues like clapton though.

@Chippy215Boss No.

@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

@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"

[silverburst1979]

@louisalive Wow, That would be a workout!

[louisalive]

@silverburst1979 my daily workout is playing achilles last stand on drums

[WeAreWhiteChains]

It would have been the greatest movie ever if they kept Jimmy Page to represent the late 60s and 70s, Eddie Van Halen to represent the late 70s to 80s, Slash to represent the late 80s to 90s, and maybe someone like Dave Grohl or Mike McCreedy to represent the 90s to 2000s

[silverburst1979]

@louisalive Yep, poser clown was over the top. I spent the evening listening to Zeppelin, Achilles last stand being the final song. Then looked at this on youtube. I was drinking heavily. haha

[ASquared007]

I love this movie...

@silverburst1979 nirvana comment was aimed at someone else, I thought they were dissing my spelling of "nevermind"... Says the guy who seems to care what I think har har har. I'm a guitarist too! Isn't that a coincidence, considering this is a video about guitarists, how ironic!!! (i was talking about jack white tbh, the edge can do one) Calling someone a "poser clown" usually conveys a certain dislike, wouldn't you agree? Also, I was quoting Michael Jackson, u should have picked up on that
