• Tweet

Guitar god’s The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes) get together in this 97 minute rawkus documentary, It Might Get Loud. (opening in coastal NY/LA theaters Friday August 14th)

Short Synopsis

Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the
personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge
(U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each
developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and
invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations,
provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness
intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when
Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories,
teach and play.

After researching a bit about the documentary I stumbled across yet another Jack White group. This time it is pre- White Stripes. White’s band mate is was Detroit co-worker (Brian Muldoon). They used to write and record in an upholstery shop. The band they formed was fittingly called The Upholsterers, and their first 7″ was Makers of High Grade Suites (2000). Tracks below.
