Music resonates, moves and inspires us. But when three guitar virtuosos from three generations, get together to jam, swap stories and share their passion for the most influential instrument in rock ‘n’ roll history: the electric guitar...it does more. Now you can get up close and personal and discover how a furniture upholsterer from Detroit (Jack White), a session musician from London (Jimmy Page) and a seventeen-year-old Dublin schoolboy (The Edge) each used the electric guitar to develop their unique sound and rise to rock legends.
Directed by Oscar® winner Davis Guggenheim* (The Inconvenient Truth), ‘It Might Get Loud’ brings together, for the first time ever, The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and Jack White (The White Stripes), telling their own stories - their inspirations, their musical journeys, their techniques – in their own words.
Special Features: Deleted Scenes
IT MIGHT GET LOUD is a slick documentary about three seminal guitarists from successive generations of rock royalty: Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, U2's the Edge, and the White Stripes/Raconteurs/Dead Weather's Jack White. The film follows the guitarists individually, in evocative settings like Headley Grange, the studio where 'Stairway to Heaven' was written, and the Dublin high school where U2 first played together as teenagers. The three subjects sidestep music-biz gossip and open up about their influences, their approach to songcraft, and their aesthetic goals. Music lovers--guitar fanatics in particular--will thrill to some behind-the-scenes tech-talk as the artists explain how they get their respective sounds. These fascinating individual interviews are intercut with impressionistic bits, animation, cool titles, mesmerizing vintage footage of the guitarists and their blues-singer heroes, and a round-robin jam featuring all three guitarists learning and playing each other's tunes. The live-music segments are at times awkward, as the men eye each other warily and shyly, seemingly unsure of how to interact. But when the music works--as it does on the trio's impromptu 'Whole Lotta Love'--sparks fly and genuine smiles break out all over. Fortunately, these inspired moments outshine the clumsy onstage socializing, and viewers are left with the impression that these three very different masters have more in common than previously suspected.
