IT MIGHT GET LOUD
5/10
Documentary from the producers of An Inconvenient Truth. It's about the love of guitars, told from the point of view of three generations of guitarists; Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, The Edge from U2 and Jack White from The White Stripes. Time is spent talking to each artist separately to discover a bit about their background, and also spent in a warehouse where the three artists meet to discuss guitars, music, etc. Unfortunately, the whole thing doesn't really work very well. You get the feeling that there's a degree of respect for each other amongst the three musicians, but at the same time, they each have their views on the world, and they're all different. I think it would have worked better as a four part tv series, where one episode was spent with each of the three guitarists and the fourth was made up of the artists meeting and discussing music with each other. I like all three bands to some degree - enough to have CDs by each, but not enough to be a major fan of any. If you're a big fan of any of the three, you might get more out of this than I did.
