1/15/18. I love electric guitar music but this rockumentary comes off being uneven in its approach. I loved when they played their guitars, but the narratives were not that enlightening. Oh well.

This movie is so absolutely amazing, because it doesn't hide anything from the people who watch it. It's so pure in a way, and it's amazing how everything comes together in the end. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who like guitars. This isn't just a documentary, it's stories that leave you so amazed. This is an amazing movie and definitely inspires you to play. Many of the songs feautured in this movie are some of my favorite. It's so cool how their attitudes change throughout it. They are learn a lot of things, and you can see how much respect they have for each other. They all look at each other in awe throughout it. It's absolutely amazing. PLEASE WATCH.

It Might Get Loud is just awesome. If you're looking for some candid behind the scenes expose, epic procedural dissection or handbook of how these guys do it, or a intricate timeline of rock history - you're barking up the wrong tree. There's the nice arc of seeing the old innovator Page and his journey from Brit radio pop and orchestra backup guitar on Bond's Goldfinger who, in the end, only wanted to play the blues. You learn Edge running off with that sense of innovation in the decades following to absolute madness tuning his synth. And you learn the pendulum swings back to where it came with Jack and his drive to just play his favorite blues song over and over while dressing up in red clothes so he wouldn't be "just another white boy" blues band. Interesting stuff without a forced narrative or script, you don't even need to watch. Just pop the movie in and go about your house chores with the sound all the way up. The movie really is just about the music. It's worth it beyond all words and recommendation - and then some - for one scene in particular. There's a laugh out loud joy to see Jack and Edge star struck like a couple of four-year-olds seeing Santa Claus for the first time when Jimmy rips off Whole Lotta Love. It's OK guys, we are all doing it too sitting on the couch. It's Jimmy F*****G page playing Whole Lotta Love!Just priceless.

If you are a fan of loud rock and roll, as I am, you will find this documentary interesting. Jimmy Page, famous for his guitar work with Led Zeppelin, talks about leaving art school to play music instead. He was with the Yardbirds, as was Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Stairway to Heaven is his best known work. The Edge is the guitarist for the Irish band, U2. He talks about building the instrument with his brother and learning to play it. He explains how he creates the unique sound associated with U2.The third and least well known is Jack White of the White Stripes, a bluesy player from Detroit. He also formed The Raconteurs, who had the hit single Steady as She Goes. The three have very interesting life stories to go along with their guitar playing abilities. The final part has them in a studio discussing technique and playing each others songs. The final song has the trio performing The Band's, The Weight, acoustically. My only complaint is that the jam session should have been longer, but it it is still a good film.
