Finally got around to watching this and yeah, the high-concept gave me a bad taste but the Page stuff was great. He was basically the only one of the three with anything meaningful to say and it was kinda neat seeing him quietly analyze what the other guys were doing (like the run through "I Will Follow") and then make it sound like Zeppelin.
Best part: Page cutting into "Whole Lotta Love" and Edge and White both bug-eyeing out because Jimmy Page Is Playing Zeppelin Right In Front Of Them.

I saw this last night and was alternately groaning and cheering. Some of the Jack White scenes are insufferable. The Edge comes across as much more appealing and modest than I expected (he's also a better player than I thought). The scenes with Page are by far the best parts. The way his face lights up during "Rumble" makes him look about fifteen.

On the other hand, now Jimmy Page finally knows how to play "I Will Follow."

Yeah, he's a totally weird choice...I don't know what "name" guitarist they could have gone with to fill the slot for that generation though w/o confusing the shit out of multiplex audiences... Thurston Moore or J Mascis would have been way more interesting though.
Prince or Van Halen would have been way more interesting imo.

so yesterday my daughter asked me if I knew how the Edge makes "that guitar sound that's in every U2 song" and after briefly explaining how chained delay and reverb effects work it occurred to me that I could have just told her to watch this instead lol
