It Might Get Loud: I'll Shut Up About It Now
So, what else to say about "It Might Get Loud"? Watch it. Rent it. Buy it. Three generations of electric guitar excellence converge on one artfully-made DVD. Even if you have limited interest in music or electric guitar, this film will expose you to aspects and angles of music you never imagined.
Whether it is Jack White sharing his passion for blues pioneer Son House, The Edge explaining the complexity of his effects, or Jimmy Page explaining the early influences of "skiffle" on his music, this film is sure to introduce you to something new. If you remotely like even one of these artists, you are sure to enjoy their individual profiles and/or their jam session/discussion with with the other two.
I can't say it enough. Anyone that likes rock or even any sort of popular music would enjoy most, if not all, of this movie. The wealth of musical innovation in this movie only reminds me of how much more there must be out there in artists I have yet to discover.
