"It might get loud" is a film dedicated to the guitar and the different ways of recording it. Stars of the film are 3 of the best guitarists, Jimmy Page (Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2) and Jack White (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather). Whether we'll see it in Greece is certainly a question. I guess we'll have to do with DVD ...

The three guitarists present in the film their influences and techniques, and even play together some of songs each other. So each shows the other two how he plays "I Will Follow" (U2), "In My Time of Dying" (Led Zeppelin) and "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground" (White Stripes).

In particular, Jimmy Page is certainly known for his participation in 2 of the biggest bands, Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin. In the movie, Page explains how he was influenced by the blues music of that time. In several scenes the Zeppelin guitarist is at Headley Grange , where "Led Zeppelin IV" was recorded and in one of them explains how the special sound of percussion in "When the Levee Breaks" was created.


Then Edge visits Mount Temple Comprehensive School and remembers how U2 were created in his childhood. He was just 17 years old in 1978 when after several phases in the previous two years, the final version of U2 was created. In the film he shows us his techniques, which use certain chords, echo and delay effects. Also Edge explains his influences from punk and in other scenes he plays "Where the Streets Have No Name", discusses the inspiration of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and plays with the effects that created "Get on Your Boots".



Finally, the leading musician of the Zeros for many musical magazines and sites (including us), Jack White presents his childhood in Detroit, where he had 2 drums and a guitar in his room. Also he discusses his obvious influences from the blues and folk music.
