Corrected version:
The White Stripes Jack White, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and U2’s The Edge will all be the focus of the era-spanning guitar documentary, “It Might Get Loud” which is set to debut be shown during Cannes 2008 to prospective buyers, but the film will not actually screen for audiences proper at the festival.
Directed by David Guggenheim
(director-producer of “An Inconvenient Truth” and “Deadwood,”) the guitar doc will look at the history of the axe from the point of view of the aforementioned rock touchstones.
The three distinct rockers were picked for their significant contributions to guitar rockin’ over several decades – Pagey for the proto-metal of the Zep-laden ’70s, The Edge for popularizing the abuse of the Boss delay pedal in the ’80s/’90s for soon-to-be post-rockers everywhere and Jack White for his stubborn bringing-it-back-home approach to raw basic blues rock (which everyone says is kinda like Zep anyhow; maybe they shoulda picked someone else – Jonny Greenwood? Wait, where’s Vini Reilly in all this? Waaah!)
Pic was shot in London, Dublin, Nashville and Los Angeles and that’s all the info that’s out there so far. Rawk out with your cock out when you see this or at least fire up the Guitar Hero in anticipation. Oh, and if it’s too loud, you’re not neccesarily too old, it’s just that you might have kids and be incredibly jaded (and sometimes pushing a bugaboo around can be annoying when someone has Motorhead cranked up; but we really, we don’t have kids – you think we could blog this much with a brat? They would died ages ago).
