I never got around to giving "It Might Get Loud" a proper review, but rest assured it was a must-see for anyone interested in music, guitars, Jimmy Paige, Jack White, the blues, etc. It was basically an amazing 1-1/2 doc. that I walked out of saying "man The Edge is a piece of shit". Although he is supposedly an unsurpassed effects genius, his only real purpose in the film was to serve as a foil to White's no-frills genius and to make White/Paige look all the more brilliant.
One of the cooler discoveries for me from the film was the Flat Duo Jets a mid-eighties rock-a-billy/blues act that held most of White's same ideals. It's no secret that White has often credited frontman Dex Romweber with making him who he is today. Checking out the video for "Crazy Hazy Kisses" on YouTube you can see Romweber dripping pure energy/emotion over what could be a pretty blasse 12-bar blues. Squint your eyes a bit and you might even convince yourself it's an early encarnation of White himself.
Not that this revelation suddenly makes Jack White any less-revolutionary or brilliant to me, it is cool to see where he gets his essence from, and who is responsible for enabling the glut of indie rock duos the scene is bursting with today.
