Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page didn’t hold back in detailing why the band has refused to participate in a single documentary until now.Bernard MacMahon’s “Becoming Led Zeppelin” premieres at the Venice Film Festival Saturday afternoon, and tickets for all 12 press and public screenings of the film have sold out — easily making it one of the most sought-after movies at the fest. Part of the film’s appeal is its rarity, given the band has never taken part in a film apart from “The Sound Remains the Same” (1976), which was more of a concert movie.
Page, the only band member to attend the Venice press conference, told reporters at a press conference that there had been previous requests to make a documentary in the past “but they’d been pretty miserable.”
