We’re going in a slightly different direction this week with Radio KBwD. We’ve never played a movie trailer before but we believe this one is worthy. Jack White of the White Stripes will be spending some time learning the craft from none other than Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and the Edge of U2 in "It Might Get Loud"
And now, some reference points. First, U2’s look at America and the world around them on the eve of the fall of communism in, “In God’s Country”.
Followed by, Page and Zeppelin performing “Heartbreaker” circa 1979. (Jimmy doesn't look too junked-up, does he?)
(It's at this point, we realize the embed feature of this video has been disabled. Epic. Fail. Please click here, though to see said video and for you under-30 types, an excellent example of self-indulgent and rambling guitar solos arena rock.)

Best KBwD to date, mostly due to the follow up. (hard to beat the stevie ray vaughan refs of the past)
Jack White has a style of his own that mirrors some blues and rock that can be brought to the table in his own right.
Good to see old and new rock comming together!!!!!!
Wow! A "Joshua Tree" original vid I was not aware of. That's some kinda serious. I guess I was just too mesmorized by the Vegas lights in "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (my all-time favorite vid) back in the day.
Gee. Thanks phone dude!
P.S. One could argue that the album prior to "The Joshua Tree", "The Unforgettable Fire" was U2's "first look at America".
With album cuts such as "MLK", "Indian Summer Sky", "Elvis Presley and America", and "4th of July". Very much in U2's atmospherics experimentation stage -- and prime!
The title track to the album "Unforgettable Fire", and "Bad", remain my favorites!
Mongo, not to get into a grammatical urinary Olympiad, but please note the comma between "First" and "U2's" signifying a chronological ordering of presentation.
You would be correct, though, in surmising U2's fascination with this country being initially manifested in "The Unforgettable Fire".
