JIMMY PAGE Interviewed At 'It Might Get Loud' Premiere; Video Available

June 23, 2009

Rockerrazzi.com conducted a short interview with LED ZEPPELIN guitarist Jimmy Page on Friday (June 19) at the Los Angeles premiere of "It Might Get Loud", a new documentary about guitars and guitar playing starring Page as well as WHITE STRIPES/RACONTEURS singer/guitarist Jack White and U2 axeman The Edge. Watch the chat below.

"It Might Get Loud" will open in New York and Los Angeles on August 14. The film showcases how the three guitarists came to play the guitar and develop their styles, and also features a jam session involving all three players.

Page was asked what originally attracted him to playing the guitar. "It was just that whole thing of the transmission of ideas through the tactile quality of playing an instrument, you know, your steel, strings and wood, translating through the electric pickup through the amp, and that's really what it is for me," he said. "It's that, some magical quality, really. Some sort of alchemy, if you like."

"It Might Get Loud" was directed by Davis Guggenheim, who was also behind the camera for the Oscar-winning Al Gore documentary "An Inconvenient Truth".

The movie follows White, Page and The Edge as they visit influential locations from their own personal histories, including the mansion where LED ZEPPELIN recorded "Stairway To Heaven" and the Dublin high school where U2 was formed and used to practice.
