I never do this during the right week. Whatever. haha.
I saw this movie over winter break. It was mind blowing, inspiring and all about electric guitar. If you are a fan of music, any kind, and love documentaries, watch this! Seriously!
This film is about three icons: Jimmy Page (Led Zepplin), The Edge (U2) and my main man Jack White (The White Stripes). It shows the first time these three came together to talk (and play!) as well as following these three to different locations to watch them discover their unique sound. Each man has a different story to tell, a different way that they came across their sound (The Edge spends hours trying to figure out the sound that is playing is in head). This film is definitely a watch. It does not disappoint!
Something else about this film was something that Jack White said, something that intrigued me. He was talking about playing his guitar: "The neck's a little bent and it's a little bit out of tune and I want it to be a struggle." This guy, the guy that I have been watching play for I don't even know how long, plays on a guitar that a lot of people wouldn't play and would probably consider "broken."
Also, I do admit that I am not a fan of U2, yet The Edge, oh man. I will never doubt a band with this guy in it. His mind, his incredible mind- genius! Seriously.
The trailer for this movie is here if you want to check it out (there is a clip of Jack White talking about his 'broken' guitar in it with the quote that I brought forth).
I definitely suggest, if you are into music (again any kind) and/or love docs, check this one out.
