OT: "It Might Get Loud"

[93legendti]

Watching this on VH-1...very cool. It's great to see Jimmy Page sounding good 5 decades after Led Zeppelin I was released.

Great film. Best scene IMO is The Edge and Jack White trying to control their fanboy glee when Jimmy Page is playing the riff from Whole Lotta Love...

Jimmy Page was sounding good even before Led Zeppelin. Train kept a rolling.

Glad others like it. I'm a Page fan from way back. I'll admit I got goose bumps when Jimmy was playing "In My Time Of Dying" with the other two.

When I take the kids to school, or anywhere for that matter, it's a steady diet of 70's rock in the car. I get a kick when I hear my 9 yr old daughter humming along to the break in "Achilles Last Stand". Tonight, she was humming along to the intro of live version of "The Song Remains The Same".

I am not a big Led Zeppelin fan, but i think Jimmy Page is great. I remember visiting my sister in Federal Hill in Baltimore a long time ago where all the streets were narrow or alleys. I watched a young girl (about 14) playing Stairway to Heaven on guitar...it was the only song she new and it sounded pretty good.

time has been really good to page. he was hesitant about participating in 'It Might Get Loud' but it really made him look very down to earth, human, and humble. (not that he ISN'T any of those things, but you never know how film will go)

it's a really good film.

I was thinking the same thing. Considering how awful he looked in '75 and his known heroin use, I'm amazed he doesn't look like Keith Richards' brother.

Such a great moment when he is playing "Whole Lotta Love" and The Edge stops and slowly walks closer to Page to see how he's playing it...

[JAGI410]

I liked it, but Edge had no business being in that film. :confused:

[fuzzalow]

IMGL is a good film and Jimmy Page comes off very well in it.

I best enjoyed the scene in the film where Jimmy is playing the 45rpm single of Link Wray's "Rumble". The guitar riff on record, Page perfectly in sync playing air guitar.

Here's a guy who's had the license to indulge in whatever he wished to do, debauchery and otherwise, and can still find joy in the music. Extra points and props to him for the vinyl audio gear.

good film. but w/o page it's nothing.

jack white, the edge, really?

these guys dont even belong in the same zip code as jmmy page.

[happycampyer]

I recall a review of Led Zepplin II around the time it came out—thought it was in Rolling Stone but can't seem to find it—in which the reviewer said, "I wish I could find a girl that can **** like Led Zepplin II, but I'd be dead in a week."

Agree, unusual choices to use with Page. If nothing else, the contrast was interesting. I like U2's earlier stuff, but don't care for Jack White at all.

I'd have watched 3 1/2 hrs on Page alone. His micing and layering techniques were so innovative.

[Kirk Pacenti]

Rented that when it first came out on DVD; great film.

Jack White is the real deal (imo) and will be as big an icon as Page someday.

Cheers,

For those forum members who don't like to click on youtube links: I shall now recreate the scene where Jimmy Page starts laying down the riff, and The Edge and Jack White go into overload....

this is some your your best work!

[Viper]

Born in 70', I was fed many forms of music growing up. I recall Motown on the radio often, Beatles, Folk (Denver, Dylan), Doo Wop was alive and well following it's generation from the 50's. Elvis died. Then there was Rock which has become Classic Rock. The Stones and The Who were on am radio most frequently. Deep Purple, Allman Brothers, Springsteen, The Eagles, Queen, Meatloaf, Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Kinks, Robert Palmer and some Bob Marley made time on the two bigger am radio stations in NY. I couldn't stand Billy Joel or Elton John. I enjoyed John Lennon solo as well as Wings, Paul's band on the run...

Led Zeppelin was a mythical band in the late 70's. I would mark them, their sound, a bunch of teenagers in a garage, making an amazing noise, as the most classic of rock. If an alien spaceship lands and we need to let an alien hear "Rock", we play Led Zeppelin.

Bingo...the film is successful because everyone is allowed to get giddy about Page as the clear top dog. The others simply provided the framework and color.

Really nice flick.

[pdmtong]

I saw paga and plant in that post zep side project. zep was of course a HUGE outdoor show here back then, but some altercations with Bill Graham at the time caused Bill to declare he would NEVER promote them again locally. and since he was all powerful promotoer, that meant the end of zep shows.

good not on on edge and white being contrast fodder. that occurred to me as well and of course makes the most sense. after all to get clapton and page etc in the same room would be an exercise in ego managment.

william, that is awesome. I'm going to borrow it right now

I have to say this film made me respect Jack White. I think he's the real deal. I'm still not a fan of some of his music, but I'm a fan of him (if that makes sense).

Page is great, was great, always will be great.

it makes sense and I get what you are saying. no doubt those guys can play. as for page, imagine playing at a time when clapton and hendrix were also out there innovating. it's almost too much to believe

[Auk]

White is a musician that was born 40-50 years too late. He loves the analog and the pieces and parts that made music the way it sounded in the 50-60's, and early 70's. At one time he was buying up analog mixing boards and recording equipment as fast as he could find them.

The segment of him making the one string lap steel is a grin maker and a finger in the face of the current way of doing things. Robert Johnson, et al would be proud.

Page, amazing as expected.

Edge. . .lost the script after Joshua Tree.

Don't forget Jeff Beck, as well.

[d_douglas]

The goal was to show three creative styles and how they are commonly influenced. I don't think the Edge is flashy like the other two (nor do I like U2) but he succeeded in defining a clear and unique style that one can hear and say, 'that's the Edge'.

I think Jack White rocks - he is filled with emotion, like it or not. He was clearly the least refined, but is a young guy that can tear up a fretboard without being a 'technician'.

My wife had the White Stripes on repeat on her iPod when in labour with our daughter, so I have a soft spot for Jack White :)



Yeah whatever, Jimmy Page is *pretty good*, but it was in no way meant to be the Jimmy Page show.....

[pdmtong]

Don't forget Jeff Beck, as well.

true that. I saw jeff beck at the royal albert hall maybe fuve years ago. ronnie wood cam out to guest.

+ Alvin Lee

Don't forget Jeff Beck, as well.

Young Jimmy Page. If you have talent, you must pursue it. I was just clicking around...never expected to find this.
