Documentary with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White.

Among other things, Jimmy revisits the house at Headley Grange, and
listens to "Rumble" by Link Wray. Still makes him grin.

i didn't like what I saw of it, page PR-ing himself again and living on past
glories instead of getting on with it getting more music out there.

Nevertheless, I've never seen or heard Page speak much, and I think it
will be very cool to spend some time with him up close like this. And I
I also like Edge's playing and think it will be interesting to watch
him concoct his sounds. I don't know much about Jack White and have
never heard anything of his that made me want to hear more, but I guess
I could put up with him to hear the other two. I might go see the film
next week.

It was interesting on several levels.

Edge's high-tech, no-solos style was partially a reaction to Jimmy's
self-indulgence. White's primitivist style was partially a reaction
to Edge's high-tech, effects-laden approach.

They easily could have hated each other. Yet each was a fan of the
others.

Yes, Jimmy's most innovative and consequential work was largely over
before U2's first album, and before White was born. That's a shame,
but it's the truth.

I loved this documentary. It was great to take a peek inside the mind
of a guitar virtuoso and to see how each of the 3 guitarists evolved
their styles. Page was awesome and I loved seeing inside his house and
seeing Headley Grange where so many classic Zep songs were written.

If you're wondering whether or not to see it, just go. You'll be glad
you did. The film's distribution is limited so catch it while you can.
