"It Might Get Loud" riffs on three guitar greats
On Jan. 28, 2008, three guys got together to talk about guitars. While it happens every day all over the world, this meeting was different. The three men were The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White, and that meeting was captured on film by "An Inconvenient Truth" director Davis Guggenheim. The resulting picture, "It Might Get Loud," arrives in Milwaukee this month.
