It Might Get Load - documentary


Last night at the local arts theatre I saw "It Might Get Load". Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White in a documentary together on the electric guitar from the point of view of these three significant rock music artists, directed by Davis Guggenheim and found it most enjoyable. I will not spoil the experience by giving a complete play by play, if you need that, go to the web for trailers.

Just to make a comment about something tangential to the point of this tread for a moment and I promise only a moment. I find it strange and somewhat condescending that here in the U.S. a review or trailer to a movie tends to completely give it away (the plot). Why not tantalize and offer a mystery and establish some desire and anticipation to experience more? So few things are a mystery these days.

We'll having said that, I won't let the cat out of the bag or anything yet, sufficed to say, it is what it sounds like and I'll just highly recommend it.

Happy Listening

Its on VH1 Classic (most always found on basic cable) all the time for those who want to see it.
He is semi talented and calls himself "The Edge" and expects to be called that by the world, it would be pretty easy to blow a guy like that off. Does anyone really think he is so special?
I kinda agree there was no real point to it, a conversation between 3 talents is only interesting if we feel part of it and that there was an ultimate point of it all. It was either too short or poorly thought out because it was just fluff in the end. I did come away thinking Jack was the guy I was most impressed with and I should walk back a step on my Edge slaps because he didnt play a rock star, he came off as genuine but I dont think much of his ability. I rewatched it and still found parts interesting but only a few.
