Watching "It Might Get Loud" a documentary featuring Jack White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page. Jimmy Page has earned his right to royalty. Screw Paul Mccartney. Page deserves at the very least knighthood. Perhaps I never really appreciated the magnitude and dynamic quality of the Edge's guitar playing, but when you zero in on his riffs from songs like "Walk Away" and "Streets Have No Name" you really see how original the sounds are. Jack White, in my mind, is a dynamo supreme with the ability to create or re-create for himself and those who love music the power of the blues. The documentary itself was well put together because it touches both on the musical influences as well as some of the social backdrops of these musicians and where they come from.
