It Might Get Loud ~ Blu-ray

[seabterry]

Am I the only person who HIGHLY enjoyed this movie? I thought it would be good, but since I watched it, I keep remembering great moments.

I think U2 is the greatest rock band, bar none, in the history of the craft, so it was a day one purchase for me for the Edge factor alone. That being said, I have no shortage of love for Led Zeppelin and Jimmy Page, as well. Jack White? Meh.

I pre-ordered it after the initial Rolling Stone.com announcement of it's coming...then enjoyed it once alone, shared it with my son, and am proud it's there for future viewings...

I thought it was great, I especially liked the director's commentary as it shed alot of light on what was going on behind the scenes.

Ya, this is a great doc. Putting three amazing musicians together and just having them jam and talk about themselves is awesome. I really enjoyed this one a lot.

Three guitar greats in one room and we get several little snippets of their songs along with a seemingly 25 minute cover version of "Take a Load off Sally" or whatever that song is. Seems like a huge oversight to me.
Don't get me wrong i enjoyed it immensely, but it seems they had a chance to do something really "important" and all we get is Take a Load off Sally.

I also thought it was weird that you put Edge and Jack White together. Those two seem to be on opposite ends of the creative process. Edge can't go pee without stepping on at least three effects pedals. Meanwhile Jack limits himself to certain instruments, arrangements, restrictions on every album in order to keep it fresh and not allow himself to get comfortable.

Anyone know if Jack's backstory is true? I've been a fan for a long time and although i knew that he apprenticed as an upholsterer, i had no idea he had a band called "the Upholsterers." Seems we all would've seen copies of this on Ebay for five gazillion dollars. His story seemed made up, which kinda makes me laugh now.

I am a fan of all the musicians, I know a little more about Led Zeppelin's catalog than U2, but after hearing what Jack White was trying to do with the White Stripes music (keep it simple), I am now going through all of their music. He is a good guitar player in these years where we seem to be falling short of music talent. None of the other guitarists in the video can match Jimmy Page's talent and experience, though. Not the greatest player of all time, but the best in this documentary.

I would love to share it with my daughter, but she is only 2 1/2 and all she wants to see musically is Grease and Elton John on his 60th birthday at Madison Square Garden. I love both of those Blu-rays, but it's up to me to teach her about all music. What a long road I have...
