Review of It Might Get Loud (2008) by Darren S — 08 Feb 2010
Three very different Rock Titans, Page, Edge and White get together to jam and discuss influences, styles, equipment and what makes them tick. Page steals the show as he effortlessly glides around the fretboard whilst White and Edge sit back in awe and sometimes disbelief at the masters ability!
This movie taught me three things - It confirmed to me that Page is the Daddy, I have a new found respect for Jack White and his style and contribution to Rock and that Edge is hugely overated. In fact I'd even go as far as to question why he's even involved in this documentary at all. He's far too reliant on technology to create his sound and in a rare moment when the gadgets behind U2's success are stripped, you realise that Edge doesn't do very much at all.
I desperately wanted to give this movie 5 stars but the inclusion of Edge instead of a far superior technician like Alex Lifeson, Kirk Hammet, or Phil Collen is beyond me. This point aside the movie is a joy and an amazing document and tribute to 3 very different styles!
