It Might Get Loud is the title of a 2008 documentary by filmmaker Davis Guggenheim.One of the most dynamic gatherings in music history takes place in the new film IT MIGHT GET LOUD when legends Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White come together to play, compare notes and talk about music and their mutual love of the electric guitar. Directed by Davis Guggenheim and conceived by producer Thomas Tull, the film, through the words and music of three generations of musicians, celebrates the love affair these men and countless others have with the electric guitar, perhaps the most innovative and challenging instrument ever created. IT MIGHT GET LOUD isnt like any other rockn roll documentary. Filmed through the eyes of three virtuosos from three different generations, audiences get up close and personal, discovering how a furniture upholsterer from Detroit, a studio musician and a painter from London and a seventeen-year-old Dublin schoolboy, each used the electric guitar to develop their unique sound and rise to the pantheon of superstar. Rare discussions are provoked as we travel with Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White to influential locations of their pasts. Born from the experience is intimate access to the creative genesis of each legend, such as Link Wrays Rumbles searing impression upon Jimmy Page, who surprises audiences with an impromptu air guitar performance. But thats only the beginning. While each guitarist describes his own musical rebellion, a rockn roll summit is being arranged. Set on an empty soundstage, the musicians come together, crank up the amps and play. They also share their influences, swap stories, and teach each other songs. During the summit Pages double-neck guitar, The Edges array of effects pedals and Whites new mic, custom build into his guitar, go live. The musical journey is joined by visual grandeur too. We see the stone halls of Headley Grange where Stairway to Heaven was composed, visit a haunting Tennessee farmhouse where Jack White writes a song on-camera, and eavesdrop inside the dimly lit Dublin studio where The Edge lays down initial guitar tracks for U2s forthcoming single. The images, like the stories, will linger in the mind long after the reverb fades. IT MIGHT GET LOUD might not affect how you play guitar, but it will change how you listen. The film is directed and produced by An Inconvenient Truths Davis Guggenheim, and produced by Thomas Tull, Lesley Chilcott and Peter Afterman. On Camera: Jamaal Finkley www.blacktree.tv Less

May 24, 2012 - since when is jack white a legend, much less a rock legend? it is marginal to the edge along side Page, It is laughable to have jack white. clearly a move to increase video sales.

May 23, 2012 - What about Jack White? Rock is not dead, Its influence permeates nearly all modern music. In the 60s and 70s rock was pop music, that dynamic has now changed, 'Justin Bieber and his ilk' champion pop music these days, backed by huge promotion campaigns which is what the masses see. However, modern rock is post-punk, and like their predecessors is mainly underground, but class acts like Rage Against the Machine and Jack white will stand as testament to its continuing popularity and longevity.

May 20, 2012 - great documentary!
Bifolco2 Says:
May 20, 2012 - But Steve Morse with Deep Purple is nothing special, just ignore it, he can't be himself with them. You should just listen to Steve Morse band and the two albums he made with Kansas, you get the real idea of what Steve Morse is all about.
setzer1987 Says:
May 19, 2012 - all i know is that the stuff he plays when he is on stage with deep purple is shit!! Jack White maybe lacks in skill but definitely not in taste and soul
Bifolco2 Says:
May 19, 2012 - great compositions by steve Morse? Just listen to the steve morse band or the two albums he made with Kansas. Jack White can't go further than a C major chord, his compositions skill is no better than any beginner strumming in his bedroom.
setzer1987 Says:
May 19, 2012 - so what great compositions does steve morse have??? Jack White is better composer for sure!
chopperx13 Says:
May 18, 2012 - Talking about posers and you mention Yngwie....you just backfired
crisleona84 Says:
May 16, 2012 - hair raising !!!! Just love these guys ..
cambruoso Says:
May 16, 2012 - The Edge and White have no talent, skills, great compositions, originality, and technique? Give your head a shake dude.I can't stand the way U2 sold out more and more as they progressively got popular.And i'm not a huge Jack White fan.But i have huge respect for their love of music and the fact they came up with some great and hugely popular and recongnizable guitar riffs.Which is pretty damn rare in music now days.
symelian Says:
May 15, 2012 - I've listened to them all but you ignored a vital point in the distinction i made - no celebrities, no 'stars' - you can't be a successful musician and make money without => "talent, skills, great compositions, originality, and technique" - "(Edge and White have none of those)." - i categorically disagree - the only of the mentioned traits they have lacking compared to paige is technique - and that seems the only trait that makes a great musician to you and that's just not the case
Bifolco2 Says:
May 15, 2012 - I am saying that money and popularity doesn't make you a musician, it just makes you rich. Not every musician is a prostitute. What makes you a musician is talent, skills, great compositions, originality, and technique (Edge and White have none of those). Steve Morse, Gary Moore, Malmsteen, these are musicians, but probably you don't even know them or understand them...
symelian Says:
May 15, 2012 - On the other hand being a musician (i don't mean a star, a celebrity or such crap) people judge talented enough to pay to see their performance makes you a professional .... by your standards any job makes you a prostitute cause you give work, talent, time for money - so if anyone is a prostitute, no one is
Bifolco2 Says:
May 14, 2012 - professional musicians? Getting paid doesn't make you a musician, it just makes you a prostitute.
symelian Says:
May 14, 2012 - Eve though an argument out of majority is wrong - the guy is still wrong when you have many professional musicians that agree that jack white is an exceptional player
0chappell Says:
May 12, 2012 - If it wasn't for the "quick buck culture" used by record labels and the media to exploit vulnerable kids and middle aged mums, in this movie there would be Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Morse or Angus Young instead of those two posers (the Edge and White). People think that if somene is famous therefore must be somehow good....these posers will be forgotten when they die, they play like beginners, totally unskilled, they can't go further than a C major chord. It's all media-hype for sheep.
ealdie24 Says:
May 12, 2012 - I wish these buncha kids would STFU with all that "(insert nu metal guitarist name) is better, he should be there!!"

May 11, 2012 - I think to make this complete in its epicness we NEED TO ADD JOHN FRUSCIANTE ... please make a sequel.
