Review of It Might Get Loud (2008) by Ambrosio R — 23 Dec 2009
An instant music classic. The story behind three of the greatest musicians of all time (Jack White is debatable). Being able to see the swagger of Jimmy Page on the guitar, watching The Edge play his laid back rocker style, and Jack White shedding his blood all over his guitar. This is a great biography, the only problem I had was MORE MUSIC! MORE JAMS! I was scared in the beginning of the film that it was just going to be a huge jam session, but when I was done with the film I thought there should have been more jam sessions or at least more of the face to face talking. I enjoyed The Edge going back to his high school and jimmy page talking about his sessions with Led Zeppelin, but the cartoon visualization of Jack White's childhood was boring to me. That didn't add anything to the movie kind of killed the reality of it for me. The best part about the movie was how it showed these legendary rockers being people, wanting to make a sound that they can't make. I also gained a huge amount of respect for Jack White for making more sense out of guitar. "I want it to be a struggle, I like the bent neck, I like the broken body. I want to work for it.".
Loved It.
Two Thumbs.
Enjoy.
