| | Customer Reviews: FASCINATING BLEND OF THREE GENERATIONS OF MUSICIANS (26 July 2010)I HAVE WATCHED THIS DOCUMENTARY SO MANY TIMES I FORGET THE COUNT. IT IS TRULY FASCINATING, AND A JOYOUS COMBINATION OF TALENT, GIFTEDNESS, AND LOVE OF THE GUITAR AND MUSIC ITSELF. TO WATCH THESE THREE MEN COME TOGETHER AND SHARE THEIR LOVE OF THEIR CRAFT IS SO REVEALING AND SO MUCH A GIFT TO THOSE OF US WHO LOVE THE MUSIC. I BECAME SO INTRIQUED BY EACH ONE SHARING HIS STYLE, HIS EXPERIENCE, HIS CONSISTENT PURSUIT OF THAT SOUND , THAT ESSENCE THAT WOULD BE JUST RIGHT. THANK YOU TO JIMMIE PAGE, THE EDGE AND JACK WHITE FOR GIVING TO US SUCH A PROFOUND EXPERIENCE. Turn It Up To Eleven! (21 July 2010)This film is a must see for anybody who loves guitar and especially anybody loves the music of Led Zeppelin, U2 or The White Stripes. The conversations and insights shared between the three greats is really special. It did at first seem like an unusual choice and there's obviously a lot of other guitarists to choose from who are technically stronger and play more like virtuosos but I think that's the point of the film: it's about what you do with it and music isn't about how fast or difficult it is to play, it's about whether or not it works and is original. All of these guys score highly in the originality area and all three have a huge following though arguably Jimmy Page is the big legend and the others definitely have a few "we're not worthy!" looks back and forth. The documentary footage is good and it was surprising to see where U2 started out and the actual school classroom. The age group aspect works well too. You have the old guy, the middle aged one and the younger one which illustrates the tradition of music. It's a thing that's passed on and each new generation adds to it. Good film, pass it on! Mixed baggage (21 July 2010)The director clearly has an infatuation for Jack White, since he gets more screen time than Jimmy Page or Edge, almost more than them combined. This is unfortunate, since I think he's the least talented, least interesting, and most pretentious of the trio. In a way, I felt a bit cheated, since very little of the film reflects the promotional aspect - the three of them sitting together and discussing their varied approaches to making music. That material can be found (and not nearly enough of it for my liking) in some of the DVD extras, which I found more interesting than the cut film itself. It's worth a watch, but unless you're a Jack White fan, prepare to be a bit disappointed. guitars and more (20 July 2010)I already was interested in guitars etc. when I purchased this DVD. It is so much more. It is really about the essence of creativity. It also does a great job illustrating how different life perspectives influence the creative process. A really fun to watch and inspiring film. if you enjoy music...get this (12 July 2010)very well produced...great musicians if you enjoy the guitar or rock at all, you will like this |
