Story of the Yardbirds DVD Coming Soon; Kid Midnight Thinks That The Yardbirds are One of the Coolest Bands Ever, Despite Their Connection To/With Eric Clapton; Kid Midnight Wishes that Eric Clapton Didn’t Have The Same First Name As Kid Midnight or Was a Better Guitar Player Who Didn’t Steal All of His Riffs From Blues Musicians That He Said He Idolized; Kid Midnight Thinks Eric Clapton Can Go Fuck Himself; Kid Midnight Thinks Jimmy Page is Pretty Cool Though, Even If He Did Sleep With Underage Girls, Supposedly

Hey, you little music-loving people! Do you like guitars? Do you like bands? Do you like British guys? Well, hot damn, have I got a DVD to tell you about.

If you want to learn a WHOLE BUNCH about one of the coolest bands that ever existed, then go down to a store that sells DVDs and pick up Yardbirds – The Story Of on November 11. This documentary covers the band's history from 1963-1968, with a shit-ton of original music, archival footage, interviews with band members and “associates” (groupies and drug dealers), and behind-the-scenes looks of the band. The DVD also has footage of Eric Clapton (like I said in the headline, fuck him), Jeff Beck (played with Rod Stewart -- boo), and a young Jimmy Page playing guitar with the band on German TV recorded in 1967. GERMAN! 1967! WOW!

What makes them one of the coolest bands ever? Well, besides the fact that Jimmy Page played guitar for them (fuck those other two band members; they suck), listen to “I’m Your Man” or “Over Under Sideways Down” or, of course, the classic “For Your Love.” All those songs rule!
