It Might Get Loud
One of the the things I hate about living in Atlanta after New York City is the movie situation. Atlanta is right on the edge of being one of those places that only gets the “no-brainer” blockbuster crap movies. The obscure films do come here but you’ve got to be on top of your game to catch them. They either go to Midtown Art Cinema for about a week or they skip through the Plaza Theater quickly. To see everything you’ve just got to catch the listings every week.
This weekend I was lucky enough to catch It Might Get Loud, the film from Davis Guggenheim that brings Jimmy Page of Led Zepplin, The Edge of U2, and Jack White of the White Stripes together to talk about guitars and playing music. I was blown away to say the very least. It is worth seeing the movie just to hear Jimmy Page’s story alone. I had no idea he had a hand in so many different projects.
I still have no idea why The Edge was asked to be in the film. I think Eddie Van Halen or Slash would have fit the slot much better than The Edge for representing that time period but I was open minded going into the film. The film is worth seeing just to see the section where Jimmy Page busts into Whole Lotta Love and The Edge and Jack White’s jaws hit the floor at the same time. I had to pick up my jaw several times during the film.
