It Might Get Loud

Dear Davis Guggenheim,
THANK YOU!

It Might Get Loud was basically a documentary on the electric guitar from the point of view of three rock musicians: the Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. Never could I distinguish what it is about their music that moves me so, but now I know it is not just the electric guitar, but their sheer passion for music.

I have been in choir all my life, I love to sing, I love music, but somewhere along the line, I found rock music, and I have loved it. People's taste in music changes and goes down certain paths, I know that everything I love musically is based off the band Brand New, the White Stripes and Led Zeppelin are among the offshoots that I have traveled, along with Wolfmother, Jimi Hendrix and Neko Case. What I usually love about music is the lyrical aspect of it, this film, however, has shown me a little something deeper. I can't play any instrument, so I am in awe of their talent, period. It was so amazing to see how they had manipulated their tools to fit their needs, made them better and still unique, like their sound quality. I have a new crush on Jack White, loved his blues and folk background, and yes, his eclectic style. I also have incredible new found reverence for Jimmy Page. Of Led Zeppelin, I of course, only knew of their front man Robert Plant, but totally loved the band and their music, from a definite bystander point, but seeing where their music came from, seeing how they were affected by other musicians, I knew I wanted to be effected by them.

Everything about this movie was fantastic, it gripped me from the beginning, even the opening sequence of titles was fun to watch.

But I still don’t like U2.
