It Might Get Loud <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

[Sony]<\/p>\n

It Might Get Loud<\/em> is presented as a summit meeting among Jimmy Page, the Edge and Jack White, the guitar greats converging on an L.A. soundstage to trade anecdotes and licks. Unless you actively despise music, you\u2019ll thrill to these three teaching one another \u201cStairway to Heaven,\u201d \u201cUntil the End of the World\u201d or \u201cSeven Nation Army.\u201d But one of the documentary\u2019s great pleasures is that it also spends solo time with each on his home turf, emphasizing their differences as much as their similarities. White is seen griping about how the growing ease of recording has helped to kill rock\u2014not long after a segment showing how gearhead Edge has a different computerized setup for every song in the U2 repertoire. Director Davis Guggenheim has said that Page \u201cjust doesn\u2019t get U2,\u201d even though the Led Zep legend is too polite to say so in the film. Given their philosophical dissimilarities, maybe these three really should have been filmed in mano-a-mano combat, not a lovefest. Revelatory moments range from Page\u2019s galvanizing solo version of \u201cRamble On\u201d to the Edge uncovering a box of cassettes that contains the jam in which \u201cWhere the Streets Have No Name\u201d came into being. Best of all may be a scene where Page retreats to his vinyl library, plays his favorite childhood record, \u201cRumble,\u201d and just grins conspiratorially. These three aren\u2019t just the most brilliant musicians of their respective generations\u2014they\u2019re fans first and foremost. \u2013CW<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
