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

I thought it was called "I Might Get Laid".

Oh, no...different movie again.

PS Having read quite abit of positive commentary, I'm looking forward to seeing this film.

Did anyone else get the sense that Jack White was digging his time with Jimmy Page but kind of blowing off The Edge? Maybe it's because White starts the film by nailing a string to a board and says that that's good enough while The Edge makes it clear that he wants 600 pedals before he'll strike a note, but I got the feeling that Jack White didn't think very highly of him.
