It Might Get Loud ,anyone ?

Does someone here have seen this documentary..

Good or no good ?

It's excellent. I highly recommend it. And watch the extras on the DVD... some good footage.

I love the part of the film when Page stands up and starts playing the Whole Lotta Love riff and Jack White and the Edge are agape like little boys.

There's a second or two worth of Zep footage from the '73 Frisco/Kezar Stm. show in Page's portion, and I was there!

I thought it was great, but I really don't like Jack White after watching. He's a gooberhead in this vid and the one time they had him playing some solo stuff he stunk. I do like the riff to 7 Nation Army, but that's about it. I will say this about him, he seemed humble enough to know he was with betters.

I have not watched it yet, though I want to. I am thinking of watching it on my iMac using headphones via iTunes rather than renting a DVD. I bet it would sound great through my phones!

I had exactly the opposite reaction. I hadn't really paid much attention to Jack White or his music before seeing the movie, and I thought he came off as a very smart, thoughtful, articulate guy who has clearly put a lot of thought into his music. Much like Page and the Edge, actually. I don't understand why people feel compelled to bash the guy.

The movie is fantastic. One of the more inspiring things I've seen.

I like a lot of Jack's licks, riffs and lines. I saw a clip of the film that made the interview with him look quite interesting to me. I hope the recordings of him show him in a good light. I am looking forward to seeing it!

Wow I'd love to get this video. I have a long business trip next week, I just may get it from iTunes to watch on the trip over to Germany. I'll need to kill some time.

Just watched this last night. I thought it was very good.

I didn't know if I'd like it or not. I'm not a Led Zep fan, mainly due to hearing them over and over again throughout the 80s and 90s on radio. I'm not really a U2 fan, can't really stomach Bono. And I didn't really know much about Jack White/The White Stripes.

But it was a very focused and powerful look at the creative processes of the three guitarists. Page of course was riff monster, and still is. I gained a new appreciation of The Edge, even if I don't like most of the music that he and U2 made. Jack White's music still doesn't do much for me, but I understand where he's coming from with his approach to the blues.

Very good and definitely worth watching.

Just watched it the other night (cable finally has it on demand).
I thought it was very good, but it missed the mark for being a great film.
I found most interesting the very early footage of Page.
I don't care too much for the "Edge" or Jack White, although I appreciate them as artists and their individual approaches to music.
3 out of 5 stars for me.

I saw it last night as well. Page is outstanding... I was drooling over his CD/record collection when they showed him putting on the "Rumble" record. The movie itself is uneven, and i'd have liked to see some more of the 3 playing together for it to be really a collaboration as opposed to just indivdual stories. But then, i don't think there are too many movies of this kind out there ( at least ones i've seen) so very happy someone made it.

 

[oldguy]

It's a good movie. You learn some history of each of the three musicians, and some of what makes them tick, and why they play what they do.
I enjoyed the fact that Jack White started saying he didn't like technology/effects, etc. Yet he ended up smiling and nodding at some of Edge's stuff, maybe he didn't care for it, but he wasn't disdainful.
The diddly-bo he strung up on the fly was slick, too.
They both showed JP some respect, that was cool.

 

[kiteman]

It was a good movie. To a general audience (non-musicians) it probably made a good story about three guitarists that are diverse in musical tastes, musical approaches, etc.

As a guitarist I liked the movie because I didn't know much about Edge and Mike but I like 'em, I respect their tastes. Matter of fact, I went to check out U2. I like this:
