Davis Guggenheim, director of "An Inconvenient Truth," has recently completed filming his next documentary, titled "It Might Get Loud." The film will follow "the story of the electric guitar" and how it changed in the hands of three different guitarists: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (of U2), and Jack White (of the White Stripes).
> >According to Variety, Guggenheim chose these three axe handlers above all others "for their impact across three different generations – from Page's 1960s days as a session musician and a member of the Yardbirds into the Edge's unique sound developed in the '80s through White's current work." Each guitarist will discuss his own method of playing, and the film will even include a jam session between the three. > >Has White already had enough of an impact on the music world to stand next to Jimmy Page?
Maybe, maybe not, but I guess they've got to tie it into the present and appeal to the kids somehow. Thomas Tull produced and financed the film that shot in Dublin, London, Nasville, and L.A. The Little Film Co. will represent the picture at Cannes.
***In other news, Page has been working on new material in secretfor the passed few years, waiting to insert it in the right musical setting, with the right musicians. Rumour has it that Jimmy, John Paul and Jason Bonham were jamming in a secret London studio last month. Are they waiting for Plant to finish his current project with Allison Krauss?! One thing is for sure, the experience the "J's" had in preparation for the O2 Reunion Concert was exhilarating, inspiring and metaphysical. Page surely wants this material to be in a Zeppelin setting, as opposed to a solo project.***
Now a little "Since I've Been Loving You" from the O2 Reunion Concert in December
